Sure it works. You just need to edit the paths in the config file (btw, no spaces & it is case sensitive)... open it up and take a look, it's fairly self explanatory.

The configuration file is called config.xml You can edit it using your favorite text editor.

                                    I need help. I'm been trying to get this thing to work for the past hour. What exactly do I need to do to the config file in order to get this thing to load???

my media player is stored as follows;
e:\apps\XboxMediaPlayer\default.xbe
And I'm using the new Evo-X dash

Also, if I'm not going to use XStream do I still need to install the server folder?

Any help is very appreciated at this point.

Hmm....try this...It should work

<configuration>

<media>

   <- if you're running from HDD you should configure these two settings ->

   <map>E:,Harddisk0\Partition1</map>
   <map>E:,Harddisk0\Partition6</map>
   <install>E:\apps\xboxmediaplayer</install>

   <- if you want, you can specify the directory XBPLAYER will start in ->

   <localmedia>E:\apps\xboxmediaplayer\media\video</localmedia>


   <- remove the asterisks and modify to assign your XBOX IP address and gateway ->
   <- if you don't, XBPLAYER will use EVOX settings if available, else it will use DHCP ->

   <localhost*>192.168.0.3</localhost*>
   <gateway*>255.255.255.1</gateway*>


   <- modify file type filtering or remove completely ->

   <filemask>avi|bmp|dat|jpg|mp3|mpg|mpeg|wmv|xbe</filemask>


   <- you can specify the location of your dashboard (must be on the C: drive) ->

   <dashboard>msxboxdash.xbe</dashboard>

</media>

</configuration>

                                    Is this where youve got your media? If not you will have to change it in order to play it, otherwise it cant find anything. Ithink  blink.gif

Like I said I got it to load up the media player interface but I cannot get it to recognize any type of files. Tried to load from D: drive and it won't recognize anything, but boxplorer sees the divx file on it. I'm thinkng about just erasing it from my HD and trying to find beta5 if its supposed to be easier to configure, this is just a bunch of bullshit in my opinion, true this is a beta but goddam this is rediculuos.

OK! I finally got it to work, sort of. I deleted the folder that I had the media player installed on my hdd completely. Then reinstalled under E:\xbplayer, I then deleted the <map> whatever the f partition thing says <\map> since I haven't upgraded yet. then place my local media at E:\xbplayer\media and ammended my evox.ini accordingly.

I have gotten 3 whole files to transfer from my PC to my Xbox hdd and actually play. wow. Well 6 if you count the jpegs.

Do these files need to be specially encoded or something to show up on the Xbox, I'm getting 1 out of every 15 I try to go through to the xbox's hdd. the others show that they've transfered but don't show up on my Xbox???
