    playmedia and playlist problem on extender

    I'm having a problem with my add in when trying to load a playlist, the add in works fine on the host PC however on an extender it fails to load the playlist correctly.

    While it plays the list it doesn't list the tracks in the queue and I can't skip around the playlist, smart/auto playlist's don't play at all.

    This is only a problem when using playmedia in an add in, all playlists play fine when selected from a UI. The code I use is:-

    m_oMyHost.PlayMedia(Microsoft.MediaCenter.MediaType.Audio, "c:\users\mcx1\all.wpl", false);

    Does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Thanks Slingshot

    Re: playmedia and playlist problem on extender

    This is a bug somewhere in the extender code - the playlists gets expanded on the console session, but on an extender session it doesn't.  The only way to get around this is to read the contents of the playlist and queue each item individually.

    Cheers,
    Andrew
