Hey all!
Relax is a realy cool and easy to use tool for xbmp
it allows you to easily stream movies pictures and video from your pc to xbox.
Ok, lets get started in using this awesome tool.

STEP 1

First off download relax ( http://www.raforce.nl ) and extract it to C:\Relax
Go to that folder and the contents of the folder should look like this:

Run relax_ns.exe

It will show your contents of c:\ on the right and on left your shares where only intersted in the shares
it should look like this:

Right click on shares and click on add do this three times and it will look like this

Right click on each one and choose rename
Rename them to:

C:\videos
C:\music
C:\pictures

and it should look like this

right thats relax set up minimize it and it will be in the tray

Now go into your C:\ drive and make three folders called videos , music and pictures

Put all the videos music and pics your want to use on your xbox in them.

Now FTP to your xbox and browse to your xbmp folder and copy over CONFIG.XML to your desktop
Open config.xml with wordpad.

You should see these at the top:

<address>192.168.0.3</address>
<subnet>255.255.255.0</subnet>
<gateway>192.168.0.1</gateway>
<nameserver>192.168.0.1</nameserver>
<timeserver>192.36.143.151</timeserver>

The one we will look closly on is the <gateway> tag.
Fill in the ip of the networkcard etc that your computor uses to comunicate with the XBox.

Now in your music section you should see this share delete it

<share>
<name>Network (XBMSP)</name>
<url>xbmsp://192.168.0.1/mymusic</url>
<cachesize>256</cachesize>
</share>

Once its gone add this share in its place

!!!NOTE!!! The ip (192.168.0.1) here is replaced by the ip TO YOUR gateway. (Often it is 192.168.0.1)

<share>
<name>RELAX</name>
<url>c:\music@192.168.0.1</url>
</share>

Do this for video and pictures adding these tags

<share>
<name>RELAX</name>
<url>c:\pictures@192.168.0.1</url>
</share>
and

<share>
<name>RELAX</name>
<url>c:\movies@192.168.0.1</url>
</share>

Thats the config.xml setup FTP it back into your XBMP folder replacing the old one

Now boot xbmp and try a relax folder and hey all the files you put on your pc are now accesable and playable on the XBox.

Also, if you dont want to start relax manualy each time you turn your computor on you can use this "trick"

Only windows NT4/2000/XP supports services
Press Start on your desktop, and choose Run. Here you write:
c:\relax\relax.exe -install or
c:\relax\relax.exe -uninstall
