    The reason i set up the ftp between my pc and xbox is so that i can listen to music and watch movies and video clips on my tv that are stored on my pc. I am able to do this through the media player that is installed on my modded xbox but i would like to know if theres any other media players that i can instal on it because this one does not let me make playlists of videoclips so at the moment i have to open a new videoclip everytime one finishes..
    So in other words i would like to know how to instal a media player on my xbox that lets you create videoclip playlists.
    Any input is appreciated :)
    Thanks

    XBMC is actually a dashboard, and a media player. If you want, you can read more about it here:
    http://xbmc.org/
    ^Home site.

    Yes, XBMC can create video playlists.
    When you ahve the videos in the directory, just select which ones you want to put in the playlist by pressing the white button when the video is selected.

    Then click "Queue item". You can do that multiple times with the same video if you want it to loop when it's over, or different video files.

    Then when you want to play the list, just press the white button (doesn't matter what video is selected, even if it's in the playlist or not).
    Then you wanna hit "Now Playing..."

    It will bring up a menu where you can click the Play button, and it will run through the list.

    Hope I helped.
