Tutorial written by : Shadow_Mx

Well i decided to make this so-called manual because there is none for this beta release (b6) and it kicks ass!

1 Installation

Some people can't get the player to start at first, here i'll explain how to get it to work.

1.1 Setting Up the "xbconfig.xml"

-First of All, open a xml editor (Notepad will work)

-Where it says <map>, leave the two partitions if you changed your HDD with Evox, I recommend to not partition F if you didn't (just erase the F partition MAP line).

-Then Select Install folder (i.e. <install>e:\xbplayer</install> )

-The next folder, is where you keep your files (avi, jpg, mp3...) select that folder. I preffer to use a HDD folder instead of the DVD Drive, since you can just navigate to it.

-If you use evox and have IP setting already, leave the next two fields with an asterisk, like this:
<localhost*>192.168.1.11</localhost*>
<gateway*>192.168.1.1</gateway*>
If you want to use it as a dashboard replacement, I recommend to change those to your IP and Gateway.

-The next filed is for Xstream servers, if you don't have an xstream server and don't plan to get one, place asterisks in there, so it won't try to connect at all.
<remotehost>192.168.0.15</remotehost> for xstream servers (change IP)
<remotehost*>192.168.0.15</remotehost*> to avoid "searching for xstream servers"

- And last, change the dashboard name, if you renamed you M$dash to msxboxdhas, then put it like this:
<dashboard>msxboxdash.xbe</dashboard> if not, change the name to anything you could have.
This filed is mainly for the msdahsboard (or any xbe actually) since the Start Button takes you to the default dashboard.
