  "RelaX -uninstall"  to uninstall
  
{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
{--- How to make SHOUTcast work ------------------------------------------------}
{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
  
  Prepare XBMP

  First off all.. Edit the config.xml of xbmp to have a smaller buffer..
  xbmp 2.2 < 01-02-2002 can be only edited in <xnsbuffer>256</xnsbuffer>
  xbmp 2.2 > 01-02-2002 edit the buffer per share <cachesize>256</cachesize>

  As u can see 256 or smaller is preferred... you might also want to disable
  id3 tag reading if it fails to play.

  Prepare RelaX

  Simply use notepad to make some text files with the following in it.

  <ip>
  <port>
  <location>
  <timeout>

  And name it "something u like.xnscast.mp3' .. RelaX will check the
  extension .xnscast.mp3 and will treat that like an SHOUTcast config file!
  and make it appear to XBMP as a normal 2gb mp3 file!

  For example the "digitally imported.xnscast.mp3" file provided in this
  release looks like this

  213.206.83.55
  7173
  /
  10
  
  
  yes i know this isn’t perfect yet... but I'll implement PLS support as soon as
  I can! I also heared that it does not work with every stream yet.. I'm also
  going after that as soon as i have the time..

{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
{--- How to make SHOUTcast live work -------------------------------------------}
{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}

  Simply look with a text editor at the SC-LIVE files    

{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
{--- Wanted List ---------------------------------------------------------------}
{-------------------------------------------------------------------------------}

  * loading/saving the shared part of the config
  * Password protection on editing configuration
  * XBMSP support
  * Online Subs downloading
  * Online TBN file downloading
  * Full Protective directory sharing support

  - Some other stuff might now be broken. just mail me and i'll see what i
  can do

  * Some bug fixes!

  * 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)

  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)

  V 0.40 (08-Sep-2002)
  * 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.
  * putted this document trough a spelling/grammar checker.
  * online/real-time FAQ support
  * online/real-time Developers log.

  v 0.31 (31-aug-2002)

  (not service)

  * Added a FAQ file with most questions i get via email
  * Added connection count for all users who think that RelaX is keeping
  connections open:)

  v 0.3 (31-aug-2002)
  * Fixed timeout routines.. Now u can pause a divx for like 5 hrs
  and resume and it still goes on!
  * Fixed files hanging (when xbmp doesn't play the file it leave's
  the file open on the server and doesn't send a clse command).
  so when another session starts i will close any previous connection
  * B6 Directory support (works with the virtual directory introduced in v02!)
  * Broke up the main unit into several other units.. It was becoming
  way to big... and I needed clean cuts of functionality that I needed
  in the following feature
  * Added Windows NT service support (yeah this was the feature i'm talking
  about)

  V 0.21 (25-Aug-2002)
  * Fixed timeout bug in streaming!
  now u can press pause again in XBMP
  * fixed when browsing files other then .AVI or .MP3 xbmp b5 would hang

  V 0.2 (25-Aug-2002)
  * Renamed to RelaX
  * made some stupid icon
  * Implemented nice drag and drop configuration of your shared media
  * Implemented XML configuration file (shared media is also stored in this)
  * Implemented Extended AVI info
  * Implemented Extended MP3 info
  * Check for updates at start of program
  * included all the used components in the zip file

  V 0.1 (22-Aug-2002)
  * After getting the source of the protocol from Runtime I made this
  version. Basicly it's a working xstream protocol. With limited
  configuration options! Only spend 3 hours on it. But it's already
  up to pare with other xstream servers
