setting up ccxstream with windows xp, and most likely with 98, me, 2000.
----

step 1)

- obviously you already have an xbox, xbmc, and ftp access to your xbox. if not, consult another guide.
- first we need to download ccxgui. try here
- unrar it and open the ccxgui_0.3.4.0.exe file. follow the instructions to install.

step 2)

- once installed open up the ccx_gui program from your start menu.
- now we want to add shares. simple. just drag the folders you want to share from windows explorer in to the list.
- you can rename them by selecting one and pressing f2, or delete by pressing delete.
- ok now once you have the right shares click [start server] button.

step 3)

- open up your preferred ftp client (flashfxp) and connect to the xbox.
- find your xboxmediacenter folder and open the xboxmediacenter.xml file for editing (ctrl+e).
- now we have to add the shares into this file. enter this code just above the </pictures>, </video> and </music> tags:
Quote: <bookmark>
<name>xbms</name>
<path>xbms://<ip here>:1400/</path>
</bookmark>
- replace <ip here> with the ip listed at the bottom of the ccx_gui screen. it should be something like 192.168.0.1 or similar
- save the file and upload it to your xbox. (or if you pressed ctrl+e just save&close it and press ok in flashfxp)

now restart your xbox and open xbmc. open my pictures, videos or music and click on 'xbms'. you should see your shares!

---------------
once you have got this to work you can tinker with the names. substitute the names in here:
Quote: <bookmark>
<name><name></name>
<path>xbms://<ip here>:1400/<share name></path>
</bookmark>

<name> can be anything
<share name> can be the name of one of the shares in the list in ccx_gui. this will make the link go directly to that share instead of showing all the shares.
<ip here> keep this the same (what it says at the bottom of ccx_gui).

now whenever you want to use it again just open up ccx_gui and click start server.

i tried to use it for image file. first i loaded alcohol 120 then mapped the image to a virtual cd/dvd drive. next i dragged the drive letter or a file in the drive to ccxstream, didn't work.

i guess xbmc didn't like it. any ideas how to play .nrg, .mds file in xbmc.

@esurfer, please respect that the guide forum is not for asking for support/help for features. note! mds images is not supported in xbmc

Unfortunately this guide is severely outdated and inaccurate.
