Hi Folks,
I am trying to find the easiest way to create a mixed playlist without having the videos added to the library.
My latest attempt has me very close. I have created a mixed .M3U playlist with VLC.
This loads in xbmc, under videos, and all files can be seen but when I try to play the list it just skips over the video files. (plays mp3s fine).
This is strange because it picks them up and even shows thumbnails for the videos.
Also, if I select a video file out of the list and use the 'Play using...' the DVDplayer plays it...
I am really after the easiest solution for playing mp3s and music vids together without having to rename most of my collection.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
EDIT: Now I am trying to change the default video player to DVDplayer and am struggling. If anyone can help with this I'd be grateful. Tried creating a 'advancedsettings.xml' file with:
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
</advancedsettings>
Not working...
