It's all about sick xBox traffic.

Today our permanent internet connection has received a little bandwidth upgrade. It's 4.5 times the speed it used to be. Downloading could be pretty fun those days - if there was no such thing like traffic. To be honest: I'm scared of traffic

And if there is one thing in the world I'm really losing control of, then it's my internet traffic. So I just installed nitpicker on my central gateway. It logs all the outgoing and incoming traffic including ip and ports. As soon as I have some spare-time I'm going to write a little PHP analyzing tool for nitpicker's data-files.

This evening is pretty sad. Still developing some stuff for my company, although I'm feeling pretty sick since this morning. Hopefully my headache gets better tomorrow. One final thing happened: I installed the new XBMP 2.3 on my xBox. Mounting (linux) samba shares still does not work - but this media- / dashboard application is getting better and better from release to release. DivX, Quicktime, MPEG4, MP3, WMV is working smoothly. As mounting does not work, you will still have to setup XBMS. But this is really easy and explained in the README.

see you later,

yeah, and guess what: it IS illegal and therefore a crime, to provide this binary. you have to get the cvs-sources and compile it yourself. for that, you will need to get visual c++ from microsoft and the openxdk (xbox development kit).

now it's easy to build to your own binary!

have fun, and: if you have problems, just contact me or look at: http://www.xboxmediaplayer.com. you'll find more information, than you might need.

the source code is available at www.sourceforge.net - just search for xbmp. compiling it will only work with visual c++ and the openxdk. no other way.

not at the moment, at least
