the volume isn't turned down in xbmc is it?
does the play status stuff show up with the song title etc?

 

[Cro213]

yeah, it shows the name of the mp3 that's on the harddrive. and what i'm asking is if it a ext. i'm missing?? cause when i click on the song it just highlights. and when the system boots up with the cd in it, the ava screensaver just pops up. No music. Could someone please help :shock:

how is the Ava screensaver poping up in XBMC. I think you are confused.

Instead of the ava being white background, its black with the symbol! and NO I"m not confused. All i'm asking is, is there a ext. i might be missing, cause i'm not getting no music(audio)?

What i am saying is that the Ava screensaver (black background and symbol) will NOT come on if you were really in XBMC. XBMC is its own application and has a completely different look than Avalaunch.

So are you trying to get music to play in Ava or XBMC? If in Ava, I would suggest dump all of your music in F:\music (or E:\music if no large drive) then set AVA to autoload music and type in the path (F:\music)

Ava>Settings>Sound>Play on boot (set to "Specified Location")>HD location: F:\music

dont know about yours, but my Thomson DVD drive on the Xbox doesnt really care for CDs in any flavor......

:shock: Thanks to all for the information, But i fixed it. I had downloaded XBMC threw ava and it wasn't the full version, so i got the newest verison ( 12 - 08 ) and put on it. Now i can hear and listern to the music on the HD! :twisted:
