Yeah, my suspicion would be the files aren't there. AutoDir loks for files, but unless you specified <RemoveInvalid>FALSE</RemoveInvalid> in the MXM.xml config "Main" node, it will strip out the empty SubMenus.

The files are there here a clip of my folder


I added the <RemoveInvalid>FALSE</RemoveInvalid> tag and i still the same results.
also it doesn't appear in seperate menus like this

Games
    Adventure
    Fighting
    Sports

Programs
    Xbox Media Player
    DvDx 2

If you don't want sub-menus, you can grab an old MXM.xml file and edit it with my program. I have been working on a new one with support for sub-menus but I don't have as much time to work on it right now. It can simplyfy the editing of the mxm files, but it does have a few bugs. Search for my old post if you wanna try it.

i DO want sub menus. I want 3 main catagories (Games, Programs, Emulators), Under the Games catagory i want about 4 sub menues(fighting, driving, ect...) and then under each sub menu i want the list of the games in thoses directories to appear. Would i have better luck using a menu.xml file? how would i call that file in the mxm.xml file?

If you look at the first submenu tag titled"Games" doesn't have a item section so i guess MXM just figured with it's own fuzzy logic that the entry is incorrect or just empty. It could also be that the first submenu tag doesn't accept another submenu tag as a next level but just as a broken tag that wasn't closed and is then just ignored.  I know nothing about coding a program so i'm probably wrong here.

I do have one more question though. Many games like Halo have more than one .xbe file in the root folder of the game and MXM reads them as a submenu instead of just reading the defualt.xbe file. Is there a tag so MXM will only look for the default.xbe file with out haveing to itemize those games?

MxM does rule and now i'm upset that it wasn't included in the dashboard poll.

It works really well. Now if only we can add some info tags to the skins like drive space and the such.  Thanks Ben for all the help you rule
