Why Do Some Files Fail To Transfer To My Xbox?
« on: July 29, 2004, 09:22:00 AM »
Use a new T3CH build of XBMC (use 2005-05-22 or newer) and XBMC will rename files falling under the conventions listed below.
Activate under Settings->Network->Servers


Most likely you are trying to transfer files which have too long of a file name, or use 'bad' characters. Below are the 'specs' for the fatx filesystem.

QUOTE
Maximum File Length: 42 Characters

The following characters are permitted:
! # $ % & ' ( ) - . @ [ ] ^ _ ` { } ~
Numerals 0 through 9
Upper and lower-case letters A through Z


The following characters cannot be used:
< > = ? : ; " * + , /  |
Characters values 0 through 31 and 128 through 255.

Filenames are not case sensitive.  XBOX, Xbox, and xbox are all the same.



For renaming tools for mp3´s this is a good one (if you do not want to use XBMC to rename them for you):
