Well it seems I got the hardest part all set up but now the part that I thought would be easy, is giving me trouble.

Problem 1:
I can get XBMP to access my pictures from my PC, but I can't access the pics on my xbox hd.

Problem 2:
I can't seem to get programs set up in XBMP. I read the how-to on creating shortcuts, etc and tried a few other things but no luck.

My PC ip is 192.168.1.4
My Xbox ip is 192.168.1.5
XBMP 2.3 (in e:Appzxbplayer folder)
Latest Evox


Here is my config.xml. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Froget my suggestion i did not realize that the slashes were taken out when posting in this forum

sorry i can see whats wrong with you config.

Check the dir name on ur E: drive. Maybe Xbmp is case sensitive and ur name is 'picture' and not 'Picture'.

I just checked and the Picture folder is the same. Thanks anyway.

I really would appreciate any other ideas.

I am running the XBMP as my startup dashboard but it still doesn't work.

It's not just the Pictures folder. It appears that nothing on the HDD is visible in either the music, pictures or videos section.

Please help.
