every search i do on this one is about setting up the xbox to use shared folders from your pc, but what i actually want is to share the xbox's c/d/e/f/g drive to my pc so i can access my stored cd collection on the xbox on every pc on my network.
is it possible to set up shares from the xbox's drives?
thanks,

because of xbmc i'm using my xbox mainly as a media machine, and because of it i also copy all my media files to the xbox (like television shows and movies).
sometimes i would like to watch these shows on my pc and was wondering what my best option would be and how would i do this?
can i treat my xbox folders as shares that will allowing me to access them directly from windows xp? or am i stuck having to ftp the data over first?
any help on this issue would greatly be appreciated.
thnx!

the best solution right now is to buy a xenium and setup the smb server on that. and when you need to access files via smb just boot it to the chip instead of xbmc. (i have the eject button booting the chip and the power button booting xbmc, it's an easy setup) that's what i do right now. still hoping for the smb server in xbmc though.
(and no, i don't think they can port it, their focus is cromwell based legal oss, i don't think they'd even know how to port it to xmbcs xdk code.)
die hard xbmc and xenium user.

hi,
i took a look in the manual, but all i found was a description how to load my files from my local pc to xbox.
i need it the other way around. i have a xbox with a big hdd and a laptop. is there any way to use xbmc as a file server in the network? if not is there a plugin or something which could support me with that functionality?
thanks

i would recommend using linux. it is easier than it sounds, x-dsl loopback install is very easy and can be started by a simple xbe...

when do you like to have the first alpha?
i would be the first to test! :-)
linux is an alternative, i will test it , but right now i'm very happy with xbmc which is a great piece of software!
