could tell XBMC where it should look for your music. This can be as simple as selecting a folder on your
computer or you can also choose to browse your home network for media. These two options would be the most
widely used places for sources.
Remember that XBMC will add everything that lies inside the folder you select. So if you choose to add your C-
disk, XBMC will have access to your entire C-disk for content by default. You can select as many sources you
like if you have content in different places; just press the Add button to open up another line. When you have
finished browsing and found the folder you would like, you should input a name for your source. This name will
be displayed when you browse your sources. To finish, simply confirm by selecting "OK". You will now see a
new entry in the list with the name you gave it.
Remember you can always add, edit or delete sources anytime you want to, via the Context Menu (which you can
access e.g. by pressing the letter c on a keyboard). When you delete a source you only delete the link to that
source within XBMC - your files will remain intact.
Local Media Sources
Basic Sources
Local sources are ones that point to the local available drives like hard disks, memory cards, DVD-ROM, etc.
XBMC can play audio CDs from the Xbox´s DVD drive as well as Video-DVD's. You can add multiple
sources/paths to each media source, for example:
F:\xbmc\Movies HD\
E:\xbmc\Movies SD\Movies New\
Xbox-specific local sources:
• Drives C, D, E, F, G are all valid local Xbox drives to access, (D being the DVD-ROM drive, C and E
being the default C: and E: partitions, and F and G being the extended F: and G: partitions that you get
when you replace your Xbox hard drive with a larger one or a much larger one).
• Note: Be aware that the XBOX file system has limitations of filename length. The local hard disk
filesystem is in the FATX format, thus the name of a file is limited to 42 characters.
• 'Note: Be aware that the XBOX file system also has limitations of directory size. A file can not be bigger
than 4GB on a FATX partition. When you copy larger files, the data after this 4GB is just gone, so the
result will be unpredictable. If you copy DVD-images (like 4.7GB iso's) or big .xbe-files make sure they
are not bigger than this 4GB. If you want to store a > 4GB DVD-image on your Xbox hard disk you can
do that by ripping that DVD to your hard disk. The ripped files are never bigger than 1GB.
• Note: XBMC will access files on other PC's or Mac's without this restriction. If the source is able to store
a 16GB file (or larger), XBMC will work fine with it.
Shortcuts to Programs, Xbox specific:
• You can even create Shortcuts to .xbe files (Xbox executables such as saved games or other dashboards) in
Programs. This would allow you to launch a specific ROM from an Xport emulator, ie you can create
