Been screwing around with setting up the shares on my local disk. Cant get it to read inside the directories! Here's the code, am I just missing something really dumb? Thanks!

The only one that works is the one called Abby in Music, but when I click it, it opens up empty, just showing a folder with two dot (like the FTP up directory icon).


 
 <filetypeicons>
   <xbe>defaultProgram.png</xbe>
 </filetypeicons>
 
 
 <pictures>
   <default>F:/Pictures/</default>
 </pictures>

 
 <music>
   <default>F:/Music/Recordings</default>
   <bookmark>
     <name>ABBY</name>
     <path>F:/music/RecordingsAbby</path>
   </bookmark>
 </music>  
 
 
 <video>
   <default>F:/Video</default>
 </video>    
</xboxmediacenter>

for local folders (on harddisk) use  instead of /
so for example

<default>F:/Music/Recordings</default>

should be

<default>F:MusicRecordings</default>

Ah HA!

Thank you Mr. Frodo! I will try it out when I get home!  <

Just curious,

How would XBMC know the difference between:

f:/music/recordings

and

f:/musicrecordings

Does the capitalization cue it in as being a subdirectory of the root? I noticed you capitalized is what raised the question.

Thanks!  <

Frodo -

That didnt work. I entered it just as you typed (did a cut and paste just to be sure!) and it will navigate to the directory but it doesnt show anything! Just the two dots and file folder. It's like it is empty.

Thanks.  <

Got it working. Here's what I typed in the xml:

 
 <music>
   <default>f:musicrecordings</default>
   <bookmark>
     <name>Music</name>
     <path>f:musicrecordings</path>
   </bookmark>
   <bookmark>
     <name>Abby</name>
     <path>f:musicrecordingscomplete albumsabby</path>
   </bookmark>
   <bookmark>
     <name>Kathy</name>
     <path>f:musicrecordingscomplete albumsr.e.m</path>
   <path>f:musicrecordingscomplete albumssister hazel</path>   
   </bookmark>
 </music>


It works like a charm. I know you authored it so I am wondering if the version of Media Center that I am using has been modified by someone other than your development team...

In any event, this code is cut right from my working XboxMediaCenter.xml file....

Thanks!  <

Geesh!

The forum doesnt recognize the backslash and doesnt display it!

No wonder what you had written looked funky!

I retract my last post.

I looked at the code I had pasted and it didnt have the backslash! That was driving me crazy! I knew you had to know what you were talking about!!! You wrote it!!

Thanks man.
