I have been going crazy trying to get XBMP 2.4 to work playing MP3's and DVD movies from my Xbox HD. I have folders on my F drive: videos and music. When I start XBMP, I get the settings and general screen. I can see and play games but I can not see my MP3's or movies. Here is a copy of my config file. Please help!!

I was able to fix it by removing xbmp, reinstalling and reconfiguring.

Ok Try configure like this :

Ok it's done. See, don't change any default directory inside F if you don't know how to setting config.xml. Because config.xml XBMp always follow default directory inside F

You should change folder Applications with Apps and always use " " every directory.
And make new folder in F such as videos, music, pictures.

I don't understand , whay i can't put left slash in this forum ?

In order to put a left slash you have to put two of them. And if you preview it'll show a single slash.
Problem, if you post from the preview screen the slashes will disappear. So back your browser after preview and then post they will show up.
This will also happen if you go back and edit your post. So before you post after trying an edit you will have to add the extra slashes again. Then post.
If you cut and paste your config.xml you can use your text editor to find \ and replace with \\ before posting and it'll show up right.

Also If you want to show someone an config.xml configuration (like here's what I did) try not to post the whole thing cuz it's hard to see the differences from yours and theirs. just my two cents.
