Web Version Loader[edit]
If you have an older version of Media Station X, you can use the web version loader service to load the latest version from the web. This service also allows you to load the entire Media Station X application in a secure context (i.e. via https://) to be able to use services like Twitch MSX.
Enter the start parameter web.msx.benzac.de to set it up.

Google Drive MSX[edit]
Please note that the Google Drive API currently does not support a proper way of streaming content. Therefore, the content must be downloaded into the memory. Some TV devices have problems with this (especially if the content file is too large) and will abort the process. There are two ways to fix this problem.
- If the video/audio file is smaller than 100 MB, share the file (or the containing folder) publicly and let the file (or folder) name start with "export" (e.g. "export.mp4", "export_My_Video.mp4", etc.). This will cause the Google Drive MSX service to open the file via the export link.
- You can use OneDrive MSX or Dropbox MSX for video/audio files, because they have functions for streaming content.
