gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted April 28, 2015 I am going to go over the basic steps here to set up ConnectX with Aurora. I have not linked to the plugin for the same reason it is not included with Aurora. It is Illegal to Distribute.On Computer:1. If connected to the network via wireless, and are running windows vista+ make sure you select home network, other wise skip this step. 2. Enable File sharing 3. Create Share, which is needed above. 4. Give your user, or the user you used on xbox, permission to access that share. That should about cover the basics. I am not going to go into to much detail on setting up windows shares, but if you google it, you will find alot of info. If you are running Linux, then you will need to have Samba installed and configured. If you need more information on this, let me know, and I will see what I can do to help. On Xbox:1. Download the prepatched ConnectX.xex(Google it, you will Find it)2. put connectX.xex in aurora:\plugins3. Enable plugin at boot in aurora connectX settings4. Fill in information on the xbox. \\COMPUTERNAME\Share, Username(or COMPUTERNAME\Username), password for user on computer.5. reboot xbox.6. press back button, and make sure connectX is in the plugin list. 7. Add ConnectX:\ to your scan paths following the folder structure you set up on the device sharing the data. This should about do it for you. There is no need to edit the launch.ini, or anything like that, as aurora handles loading the plugin for you. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Almir Canella 1 Posted July 20, 2015 I've been trying to add my XBOX360 as a network place using windows 8.1, but fails. Aurora could do such a thing? I mean, i use filezilla just fine to transfer files, but with windows explorer life is more enjoyable...ConnectX is a ftp or smb server? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which you will not find here.. But if I am interpreting right, you want to look at the Xbox like you would any other folder on your PC.. Which really is only possible with the SDK.. Connectx/ftp won't help do that..Connectx allows you to share a folder with your games on PC and play it on the Xbox.. Ftp clients such as filezilla will allow you to view the content on PC.. But not like you want.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, there is a SMB Server for FSD, this doesn't require Xbox Neighborhood to work, it's not available for Aurora yet... but... there are plans of implementing it there also...

If you setup FSD's SMB Server properly you can access it like another computer in your network with ANY smb compatible client (including explorer) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ravasquez 14 Posted October 4, 2015 Hi Folks, I came back to the forum looking for an update of FSD, but I found that the dev team don't gone to continue with FSD, so I migrate to Aurora, pretty cool btw, in my dashlaunch I change my default to Aurora 0.5b, I configure the connectx to connect with a home laptop who has connected a 3TB usb 3.0 HDD where I have "apps", the weird thing is in Aurora connectx cant bind to the share, but when I boot to FSD no problem, I read in the Aurora launch thread that have a know issue in some network scenarios, my setup info: Laptop windows 10 updated with all the network sharing settings recommended. Seagate USB 3.0 3TB HDD. I try with a cat 5 patchcord connected directly between the laptop and the xbox and I try connected to a home router with 1gb ports, firewall off ( I have a policy for smb) in connectx settings I try to input the computer name (FDQN), the ip address, I change the share user password. If you guys need logs or test let me know, I can test wherever you want It will be a pleasure to help in any way in this amazing project, thanks!

Swizzy 2083 Posted October 4, 2015 Hi I reboot aurora in every change of settings in connectx If you change the settings for ConnectX you may need to reboot the entire console as Aurora doesn't unload connectx, it leaves it loaded and will therefor not reload it's settings...

ravasquez 14 Posted October 12, 2015 Hello, Its me again, Im very persistant guy, like some nice guys says you have to try harder I finally found the issue with connectx and windows (from vista to windows 10) theres and issue with smb connections, in some random scenarios (i think. Im allways on those ) smb not correctly connect, so after 6 hours of troubleshooting, trying different stuff, I go back to basics with the OSI stack (Im a networking guy), so I try to connect directly and through a switch the xbox and my laptop, but the same issue, the debug.txt only says that cant mount connectx, so I get bored after 2 hours of trying changing the path of the windows share, users, passwords, etc... So I put wireshark to sniff traffic and what I found is this: Request from connectx: 29 13.579930000 192.168.0.8 192.168.0.9 SMB 274 Session Setup AndX Request, User: \xbox; Tree Connect AndX, Path: \\H4X0RPC\GAMES Response from my laptop: 30 13.580978000 192.168.0.9 192.168.0.8 SMB 202 Session Setup AndX Response; Tree Connect AndX, Error: STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES Did you see the issue? Yes this little windows bastard STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES. After some google I found a fix: http://www.stratospherix.com/support/interactive_troubleshooter/vista-insuff-resources.php After applying that fix my connectx working great in fsd in minutes I will switch to aurora and try, I let this info here because can helps people to fix (in some way) problems with windows shares. BTW developers please move the authentication to kerberos so We can move to linux shares Update: Its works in Aurora (sorry Im happy) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2083 Posted October 12, 2015 BTW developers please move the authentication to kerberos so We can move to linux shares No can do... ConnectX has been patched to work with retail kernel, it's originally something that runs on devkits... meaning, none of the homebrew developers actually wrote the thing, which means we cannot change much of how it works without a huge amount of reversing work...

ronardinho 1 Posted December 24, 2015 Hello can i install games with connectx to the internal hdd of my xbox(i use aurora)?Or is it only for streaming purposes? If not is there a way for me to transfer a game from my pc to the internal hdd of my xbox(without burning it on a dvd)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted December 24, 2015 You can use it for that, but i prefer ftp, as you can use an ftp client on the computer, and on the xbox it ends up being alot of copy and paste with connectx. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted December 24, 2015 Make sure you set the ftp client to binary transfer mode, and not ascii transfer mode. Ascii mode tends to corrupt data, especially on bigger files. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swizzy 2083 Posted December 24, 2015 Make sure you set the ftp client to binary transfer mode, and not ascii transfer mode. Ascii mode tends to corrupt data, especially on bigger files. The reason for that is that it's transferring 7 of 8 bits for each byte, i don't understand why people even implemented this in the first place, it makes zero sense as we're still sending all 8 bits, just skipping the highest one >_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
