I had that problem too. I found that if I open the subtitle file with "Subtitle Workshop 2.51" then save it immediately. The file works fine. Subtitle Workshop must change something when it saves it but it works perfectly.

Shuffle does work with playlists created using the directions on the Roksbox site. What I don't know is the limit. I tried one with 5573 songs and it didn't load.
I was able to shuffle what I think was the entire library by using nested folders. My music root is D:\www\media\music. I created another folder beneath music called library and then put all of the artists and albums below that. Then I can highlight one of the artist folders and click the play button on my remote. It takes a really long time to load, around nine minutes, but it works (I think). From looking at the Apache access log and scrolling through the track list it looks like everything is loaded.
One problem with shuffling through the entire library would be varying volume levels of different recordings. If you haven't already applied replay gain to your entire library, I would suggest doing so. There is no way for the Roku to level the playback volume.

Good to know. I won't make massive playlists.
I shall try the nested folder thing. I have about 300 CD's ripped to MP3. How does your music library compare in size?
My wife already tolerates the variable levels since she does a random play on our CD collection in our 200 CD carousel player. I'm trying to get the digital version wife-approved before the CD play croaks from the constant shuffling.

A quick question about using PHP to organize the directory. Does using the PHP method load the Menu faster than using a single xml file? I have been trying to install php on my movie server which is using Windows server 2003 and IIS. Not having much luck though and Im wondering if it is worth the effort. As it is..I use the single XML file which has 1007 different videos. It takes 23 seconds to load the xml file. Would using the php method speed this up?

I wonder if you broke them up into smaller sections (A-F, G-K, etc.) if you would do better.
I use Directory Method with individual xml sheets, so I can't tell.

I'm using a Linux dedicated server running Apache. I can't get the xml files to display data. The movies play fine and the poster art displays correctly.
I'm using the directory structure option (frugal mode on) and Roksbox XML Generator for my XML files.
The XML file is located in the same directory as the movie and .jpg poster art. The capitalization, spelling and spacing are correct. So is the server address.
The only line in the XML file I've changed is this:
<path>http://192.168.1.6/var/www/html/media/videos/comedy/Office Space.mp4</path>
I'm wondering if my syntax on the above line is wrong, or Is there a directive in Apache that I don't have set up correctly?
I apologize if this has already been seen and solved, but I searched a lot and couldn't find a similar issue with Apache on Linux. Thanks.
