New RelaX is here.. making it v0.79!

• RelaX now works with XBMC!..... If you don't use XMBC then don't download this release
• Just put in XBMC the path like "xns://yourip:1400/" for the root and "xns://yourip:1400/divx" for your divxes.. etc
• here is the changelog!
  • v 0.79 (15-aug-2004)
  • * RelaX now works with XBMC.. to do that i had to rework the internal file system. that's why the following doesn't work anymore.
  • - Disabled ISO support
  • - Disabled xISO support
  • - Disabled ZIP support
  • - Disabled Shoutcast support
  • - Disabled Intergrating directorys
  • - Disabled Directory flattening
  • + Filesize reporting
  • + Filedate reporting
  • * Fixed the filelister reporting incorrect filesizes!
  • * XBMC scan's for Thumbs for each directory.. thats why it's a bit slow when entering a directory with loads of directory's.
  • * When u disable logging... Directory changing in XBMC will become faster.
  • - Some other stuff might now be broken. just mail me and i'll see what i can do.
• download it right here
• When i have some spare time i'll try to rebuild some options again in the v0.xx branch before going back to work on the rebuild again.

Little status update

• Long time no update.. so here is a little update
• Guess RelaX and XBMC don't work well together anymore (because they radically changed the way they use XNS).. I'm working on a total rebuild of RelaX.. but it's LONG from finished.. and now with the release of XBMC v1.0 i now get many request of making RelaX work with it.. so now i decided to put the RelaX rebuild on hold.. and put the time into making RelaX work with XBMC again...time i sadly don't have enough of... hopefully i will get RelaX to work with XBMC before next week.. then i'll release a RelaX version for XBMC.. which will be stripped from some functions like ZIP/ISO/XISO/Directory flattening support.. because with the way XBMC now works it's to mutch work to make all of that work again in the RelaX... hopefully i'll get it working again in the Rebuild of RelaX...
• Thats all for now... take care!

Waarschuwing (dutch only)

• Ik heb gisteren net als zoveel andere mensen die chello+ of chello clasic hebben met een nieuwe eurodocsis2 modem (dus geen com21) een mailtje gehad dat ze mijn verbinding gaan knijpen voor de maand decemer.. dit is natuurlijk niet acceptabel!
  
  bij deze wil ik iedereen oproepen tot het opzeggen van hun chello abbonnement... en ik raad iedereen ten sterkste af een chello abbonnement te nemen met de verborgen datalimiet van 15GB! voor zowel chello+ en clasic.
  
  Neej chello komt er bij mij niet meer in .... download Hier je opzeg formulier en vul hem vandaag nog in en stuur hem vandaag nog op... neem vandaag nog adsl van xs4all/demon/telebyte etc!
  
  ohwell.. suc6 verder als je een chello abbonnement heb.. je zult het nodig hebben!

A few comments!

• XBMSP...Some time ago PuhPuh contacted Runtime and me to improve the current XNS protocol.. so ccxstream was made. an attempt to get a more mature protocol out there with example implementations for other programs to use. at that time there were other priorities and ccxstream was put on the long track.. so now it seems that we have reached the point that there is the first implementation of XBMSP in XBMP... so now the time has come to implement it into RelaX.. but there are some problems here... I basically have to reverse engineer the protocol to get the implementation into RelaX.. This takes time.. Time i don’t really have a lot off. So yes RelaX will get implementation of XBMSP.. it only might take some time..

Current RelaX Status!

• Some nice additions were made to RelaX.. with SHOUTcast live support (update the streaming list live from the internet.. so no more .pls files or virtual .XNS files anymore..:) .. also full proxy implementation.. and some other fixes... i hope to get this version out soon .. so that I can start implementing the XBMSP protocol.

  • * Fixed a bug that caused numerous SHOUTcast servers not to work. Added User-Agent to the request and every stream works fine now!
  • + added pls support for SHOUTcast server lists with failover build in! (might still be a little bit buggy)
• Again thanks to xAD for providing the main download mirror at xboxmediaplayer.it here .. this is still the all in one package!:)

RelaX comes to v0.7!

Just a statement about Yamp and it’s relax support

• Although I’m flattered with the label “relax support” I have to set some things straight here. There is no such thing as a relax protocol. The protocol they have implemented is XNS (xstream network service also known as XStream) invented by RUNTiME of XBMP. So other program’s implementing the XNS (there are several.. you can find most at www.xboxmediaplayer.com) should offer you stream support on windows and other platforms to (linux etc).
• I’m pleased to see XNS support in yamp. I’m guessing that the support is not completely bug free, because I’m getting all kinds of bug reports from errors when relax is used in combination with yamp. Problems such as slow startup of divxes, sometimes laggy streaming, the corruption of folders with these kinds of names (C:\-= SERIES =-\-= 24 =-), and all kinds of other errors. Please go to the yamp guys for support

Online RelaX documentation

• There is now some online documentation of RelaX v0.51 here. the documentation is written by Gurjinder Singh aka GodAmongDucks.. so many thanks go out to him for making this documentation!
• The next version of RelaX will add a viewer for online documentation and will have the documentation in the zip package!

RelaX v0.51 .. RelaX now has become more secure

• download v0.51 here or the source here
  • Security enhanced by adding an ip-list for the ip’s that can only talk to RelaX. Just add your local range for example 192.168.0.* .. to only allow everybody in your own Ip-range.. making hacking impossible
  • added wildcard support to the ip-security per file/directory

• Thanks to frodo and void for reminding me of these security isue's!

hardware update

• updated the webserver park to linux .. using apache and php .. enabling gzip compression etc. i was running this configuration on my private server for a while.. now we have changed the main webserver to a dual mainboard.. with linux on it..and i decided to give the new php webpage a go... so if u find any error's please contact me!

RelaX V0.5 out on the streets

• download v0.5 here or the source here
  • Compiled in delphi7
  • Removed B5 automatic directory flattening support (u can still flatten .. but now u must configure it to do so. Code was in the way of new features)
  • Removed Indy components from the source package (included in Delphi 7)
  • Split up the non service application for faster starting. the new filename for the exe without service is RelaX_ns.exe
  • Renamed Config.XML to Relax_config.xml (old config wil be read and saved to new filename)
  • Configuration file will be generated when not found
  • When adding a drive it will be added as directory instead of virtual dir

  • Virtual configuration directories (set all kinds of settings to relax via the xbox.. like disabling subtitles etc)
  • added virtual configuration tag's (now u can set the subtitles off and on .. change the frame rate of subtitle converting .. all runtime on your xbox... and its easy extendable for the in the future)
  • Extension configuration support! (Also per (virtual) directory)

RelaX V0.4 Xstream Server

  • Totally replaced the file selectors now it’s a nifty windows look-alike explorer
  • Support for drag and dropping multiple directories and files!
  • Fixed bug with to large divx's (now the bug lies with xbmp6 i guess)
  • Real-time converting .SUB subtitle files to .SRT format!
  • Subtitle cleaning (XBMP6 only show's 2 lines and some srt/sub subtitle files have 3 lines of subtitles.. I try to change this to 2 lines!
  • When xbmp stops requesting file chunks i used to go into endless waiting loop. Now I still do the same.. But I’m pinging the Xbox.. Checking to see if the Xbox was turned off.. if so relax stops waiting and terminates the connection.

  • Fixed timeout routines.. now u can pause a divx for like 5 hrs and resume.. and it still goes on!

  • Added Windows NT service support (yeah this was the feature i'm talking about)

RelaX Xstream Server

• Sorry for the lack of updates lately .. but i'm very busy with WORK.
• Back 2 business .. i've programmed a nice tool to let you share your media files to your xbox media player www.xboxmediaplayer.com. this xbmp B5 is so mucho kewl.. and xbmp B6 is going to rock! but there wasn't any xstream server around that i liked (the .net version was to .net for me/the java version just didn't work here/WXstream 1.52 was/is getting there but not enough for me) so i decided to make my own.. contacted runtime and he was so friendly to give me the sourcecode of his .net server. so programming began.. after only 2 hours of fooling around with indy in delphi i got it working. made a simple directory share implementation and i released v0.1. and last weekend was spend making the configuration nicer.. the streaming flawless (i hope).. implementing updates scanning etc. the result is downloadable here
  
• download link above...
• currently implementing NT service support/splitting code/stay in tray and already fixed some more bugs .. hopefully i have this done very soon and it will be downloadable here.

chello/quicknet and codered virus

• Finaly back online... this could have been done alot sooner! but it didn't cross my mind..
• The Story!... Chello and quicknet have decided to pull the plug on port 80 incomming (they say that its done to prevent anything bigger to occure.. for example codered virus v4 witch deletes all files from harddrive). bullshit.. chello/quicknet are not responsible for those kind of virusses... the users are.. even now after about 30 days of the codered virus... there are still many servers infected so the shutdown of port 80 doesn't help anything.. the problem is that u just cannot reach the person who is responsible for the infected machine.. so they can better block every infected ip adres from the internet completely so they can call the helpdesk and then the helpdesk can say that they are infected.
• ohwell.. thats why all our servers were not up.. but now i've redirected it to port8080.. and users can view the webpage again!..
• chello/quicknet sucks.. we are looking into other options.. stay tuned
• i will release some software updates shortly!..

codered virus
