9. Install a streaming server on some PC or use Samba to access remote data

A list of all available tools can be found on http://www.xbox-scene.com/tools/tools.php?page=streaming

Personnaly I have only use Relax pre 0.76, I ran into problem with NFS protocol and was not convince
by its efficiency (speed of access and streaming). I decide to try Samba (smb://) and it works perfectly since!

1. open e:/appsXBMCXboxMediaCenter.xml
2. At the end of the file, locate the bookmark section.
   
3. Example of bookmark
   smb://xbox: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .0.4/EOLE/
   where
   
   • xbox is the windows/linux/macintosh user name (this user must exist)
   • k7sEP1zY is the password, do not use ';' as this has a signification in the smb:// url (use to specify a network domain)
   • 192.168.0.4 is the fix IP of the server (nearly all router can assign a fix IP adress to a Ethernet card) Here this adress is one of my PC
   • EOLE: is the name of one of my share drive,  Share drive name are not mandatory!
