    WMS Server side playlists and Windows Vista Media Extenders

    Hi all,

    I'm developing a Vista MCE plug-in for one Internet TV company, which requires to use of server side playlist for streaming windows media files (wmv,asf). It works perfectly with MCML on the host computer, however, on XBOX360 (Vista MCE Extender) I was able to play only first file from the server side playlist and I'm getting the freezing picture after fist file is played while host server (Vista MCE) keeps reconnecting to play the next media file in the same playlist. I also need to mention that I'm dealing with broadcasted playlist, meaning that server is broadcasting files one after another from single publishing point with no stops.

    The only idea I can think of is to create a client side playlist (asx) recognized by Media center extender that will include a loop for playing/connecting to the same media source unspecified number of times.

    I was wondering if somebody had the same problem and was able to successfully resolve it.
