I am sharing my mp3 via smb share. I can play all files, queue them to a playlist, and save the playlist. However, I cannot load the playlist. Is there something else that needs to be changed/set in the config file?
Here is my config file without username, password or ip address:

<playlists>F:\apps\xbplayer\playlists</playlists>

Your playlists are save to that location, but i cant see in any of your shares that you can access it.

Make a dir in your e:music folder called playlists and change the tag to this:

<playlists>E:\music\playlists</playlists>

Now ftp the config.xml back to the xbox, move your "old" playlist files to the new location and reboot.

Goto your music share and browse to the new playlist folder and enjoy

Tried that, but instead I used the f drive instead of e, since there was already a music folder there. I can now see my playlists by choosing HDD instead of SMB(of course), but when I click on any playlist, the xbox freezes and nothing plays. I have to reboot the xbox with the power button, the controller reset doesn't even work. Any other ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Dennis

How long do you let i stay on befor you turn it of by the power button?

Give it up to 5-10 minutes and see if work.

Usually just a few minutes, but one time, I left it on for about 5 minutes. I'll try again and leave it on longer. 15 minutes should be more than enough right?

yes, more then enough.

Gonna do some tests on it later today and post results.

Works flawlessly on latest cvs.

Did tries with alot of playlists over smb.

All played fine without trouble.

What is the latest CVS release and where can I find it? I am using version 2.3, is there something newer?
