I posted here before and to other forums but I guess no one knows the answer. I am going to try one last request for help before I just say screw it. PLEASE HELP!!
---------------------------------------------------
Problem #1: Can't get media files on Xbox to appear. The folder HDD appears in My Pictures (or music or video). However, when I select the HDD folder on the screen, it's empty but I have pictures in that folder.

Problem #2: Can't get any programs to be visible in My Programs
---------------------------------------------------

My XBOX:
v1.0
Xecuter2 lite
Bios 4976.02
XBMP 2.3 running as the dash
E:Appzboxplorer
E:AppzDVD
E:AppzHDDloader
E:Appzxbplayer (XBMP)
E:Gamez
E:music
E:pictures
E:videos

Shortcut folder: E:Appzxbplayershortcuts
Shortcut file: filename.cut (in the shortcut folder)

<shortcut>
<path>Harddisk0partition1Appzboxplorerdefault.xbe</path>

**please do not double post**

You must have the folders named differently to what the config
xml says....for instance if your folder is as it says E:Gamez
it needs to be e:Games, like the xml file says...understand...
Same if you are looking for the files on a pc the ip address needs to match and the folder where they are stored on the pc...

Relax. It was purely accidental. I got a page temporarily unavailable after I clicked "submit post"

So I clicked again.

A good idea would to have this under music and videos

<pictures>png|jpg|jpeg|bmp|gif|ico|tif|tiff|tga|pcx</pictures>

Will solve the problem with the files not showing up!

Thanks senator. I don't actually have anything in the Gamez folder right now anyway. I will correct that typo now.

Do you have any ideas on my main to problems in the post? All the other folders are typed correctly.

And for the apps

<apps>

<visible>true</visible>

<share>
<name>HDD</name>
<url>e:\appz</url>
</share>
</apps>



<!-- application bookmarks are optional -->

<applications>

<bookmark>
<name>Games</name><path>e:\Gamez</path>
</bookmark>

</applications>

try and copy and past that over your present settings.

Thanks JayDee!!

With regards to the <pictures>png|jpg|jpeg|bmp|gif|ico|tif|tiff|tga|pcx</pictures>
I added it but it still doesn't bring up the picture files.

I forgot to add mention that I can see pictures files on my pc through the XNS folder. It's just the pictures on the HDD that won't show up. Any other ideas?

I will try your solution for the Apps problem and get back to you on that.

Do you have it like that?
You must reboot the xbox for the changes to take effect

<pictures>
<share>
<name>HDD</name>
<url>e:\pictures</url>

</pictures>

or

<pictures>
<share>
<name>HDD</name>
<url>E:\pictures</url>
</share>
</pictures>

Should work.

I just tried both e:pictures and E:pictures, but neither one worked.

I still can't get the My Programs to bring up anything.

We're still at square 1

I'll have you pulling your hair out too!!

I edited my main post to reflect my current config.xml with all the changes you suggested.

I thought the XNS relax setup was going to be the hard part, but it was easy.

Any other ideas???

I always reboot everytime... However, I usually do a soft reboot by going back to the evoxdash and selecting reboot from the menu. Does that make a difference? Should I be physically doing it from the xbox front panel?

Dubbel check the folder on the xbox.

Make sure you got the foldername right from the ftp.

Yep!! Same folder names. This is insane. I have spent hours upon countless hours trying to do this before posting and still the same result.

Here's a pic of my ftp'd xbox:

Looks like I've stumped all of you.

I guess I'll just keep all of my media files on my PC for now, and run the programs from the evox dashboard.

Thanks anyway
