I ftped 3 mpgs to the vid folder in E: from my PC and can't get XBMP to recognize them. I renamed them to shorter spaceless titles, still nada. I know they're there cuz I see them and play them on my PC through Flash FXP. So what now?

P.S. video folder is in E: in config.xml.

Only thing I can think of is that the path on your xml is bad or you still have some kind of illegal characters. Check your path again or maybe rename them to something like "123.mpeg".
