Ok I will try to make clear the problem I am having so hopefully I can get some help.

I have installed the latest build of XBMC for the Xbox.

When I get to the main menu and select My Pictures, My Videos, or My music the next page is a list of things:
example....
DVD-ROM Drive(empty)
Itunes Network Share(DAAP)
Music
-
-
-
WORKGROUP (SMB) Network
XBMSP Network Servers (Auto-Discover)
XBMSP Network Share

What I would like to do is have My Pictures open directly to my shared Pictures Folder. My Videos open directly to My Videos folder and My Music directly to My Music folder.

in order for me to get to the folders at the time being I have to open XBMSP Network Servers (Auto-Discover) then Open Server;192.168.1.7(InfinitePC-PC) then Open Movies or Music folder to get my files.

I have tried to adjust the sources.xml file but I don't think I am doing it correctly.

When I go to the Main Menu:My files:XBMSP Network Servers (Auto Discover):Server; 192.168.1.7(InfinitePC-PC):Movies.... I can see the path says those files are at xbms://192.168.1.7:1400/Movies but again I can't get this to work in the sources.xml file.

Someone please help.:confused2:

just add them as smb shares (with username pass if needed) and then set that as default?

e.g.
smb://USERASS@COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME/

the line in sources.xml should look like
<path pathversion="1">smb://USERASS@COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME/</path>

USERASS is optional and COMPUTERNAME can be an ip address.

Thank you for the response, I am still having no luck.

I am running on Windows 7 premium.
I don't have a username or password really set up on my computer. I do have the username I guess but it still doesn't work when I try to do it the way you say.

Here is a couple things I have tried



<!-- My Videos shares !-->
<video>
<default></default>
<bookmark>
<name>Videos</name>
<path>xbms://192.168.1.7:1400/Movies/</path>
<path pathversion="1">smb://192.168.1.7/Movies/</path>
<path>G:\Videos</path>
</bookmark>

That's not the correct format for manually editing "sources.xml". You would be better off using XBMC's GUI to do this, rather then playing about with XML files.

When you go to the source list for a media section, you should see an "add source" option (if you don't, hit the white button and it should appear on the context menu). Select that, then use the "browse" button to hunt down the desired folder/network location.

Once you've found it, hit "ok" to everything, and the new source should appear on the menu. Now, to have XBMC automatically display the contents of that source when you enter Movies/Music/whatever, hit the white button over it and select "Make default" from the context menu.

(Note that XBMC will only auto-open the "default" source the first time you view it after a reboot. After that, going in/out of a media section will simply show you whatever folder you were looking at least).

Amazing thanks for the help. That was exactly what I was looking for, I remember the add sources being a option but I couldn't figure out where it was. It is working like a charm now.

Cheers!!
