XBMP and Relax using the infamous ROOT tags

Pike's short tutorial for XBMP & Relax using the (in)famous $ROOT$ tags. (draft 0.2)

I won't explain how to setup networking between XBOX and PC, there are other tutorials that do that just fine.
Regarding editing the config.xml, you most likely need a better editor than notepad.
Myself I prefer Metapad (Unix CR/LF capable), it's freeware, GOOGLE after it.

We'll only cover the MUSIC share for now;
In config.xml locate:
<*music>
<*visible>true<*/visible>

directly after that you'll see this:
<*share>
<*name>Network (XBMSP)<*/name>
<*url>xbmsp://192.168.1.2/mymusic<*/url>
<*cachesize>256<*/cachesize>
<*/share>
<*share>
<*name>Network (XNS)<*/name>
<*url>c:\shared\music@192.168.1.2<*/url>
<*cachesize>256<*/cachesize>
<*/share>

Network (XBMSP) is not used here, you can delete this share or leave it be. It's the Network (XNS) share we are interrested in.
The NAME tag is what you see in XBMP when you browse your shares.
URL is the adress to where the files are located on the machine running the XNS streamserver.
CACHESIZE we leave for now, default usually works just fine.
The only difficult part here is the URL tag, study this line (where I use the $ROOT$ tag):

<*url>$ROOT$music@192.168.0.50:1400<*/url>
What the above line does is the following:
Point to IP 192.168.0.50 and look for a virtualgroup/dir called "music". This is the name of the group we have created in Relax.
So what you need to do:
Findout the IP of the computer where Relax is running, port can be anything, or omitted.
If omitted, 1400 is used since it is the default Relax port anyway. Here's how the <*url> line should look without port:
<*url>$ROOT$music@192.168.0.50<*/url>
Create a group in Relax called "music" where you drag & drop some folders or music files.
