ive created this script as ive got an xbox in my car and wanted to change what playlist my xbox would start playing without having to remove the xbox from the car all the time.
only really usefull if you've got 2 xbox's or an action replay or similar device.

4. go into the folder you created and add a copy of any savemeta.xbx file (again to prevent the ms dash deleting the folder), also add a playlist (for example called solstice rise.m3u) which points to your files on the xbox, mine looked like this -

Quote:import xbmc5. finally add an autoexec.py script to your xbmc/scripts/ folder with the following text to call up the memcard.py script off the memory card
pls = xbmc.playlist(0)
temp="solstice rise.m3u"
pls.load("f:/xbmcm3ulists/" + temp)
pls.load("g:/xbmcm3ulists/" + temp)
