  Playlist and Vista Reply Contact Hello all, I recently installed Web PLaylist to my IIS 7 test machine to test its functionality before any live deployment and I am having a very strange issue.  4 computers >> 2- IE 7/firefox3 on XP sp3, 1 IE7/firefox3 Vista sp1, and 1-  Safari OSx.5  the current playlist is serving an mp3. both xp machines using IE7 & firefox 3 connect and play the file perfectly! However, the Vista machine with Firefox 3 works, but using IE7 returns 404 file not found when navigating using an html link, and a cannot find media error when imputting the url to media player. Safari grabs the file and just hangs, but that is easily fixable.  any suggestions on the vista IE7 issue? i have been beating my brains to try to figure this one out. I killed the firewalls, i varied ports, i made html, php, and jscript pages to serve links to the files but still a no-go when using Vista.

  Re: Playlist and Vista Reply Contact all i get is an error stating "the above file name is invalid" i try to open \\servername\Home_audio\RStrial.isx infact, no matter what i try to open the file with, explorer, dreamweaver, notepad, wordpad, OOWriter, Word, nothing can open it remotely.   now if i open the file directly using notepad on the server then yes i do get xml. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist name="RStrial" title="Led Zeppelin" description="Page & Plant">   <entry location="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\audio\Led_Zeppelin_Dream_On.mp3" locationType="physicalPath" clientSkipFwd="true" clientSkipBack="true" clientSeek="true" /> </playlist>

I am not sure if nothing else works how is Firefox working. Do you have some kind of network monitoring tool or could you share the IIS logs?

  Re: Playlist and Vista Reply Contact i have gone through every one of the IIS logs and they are showing nothing more than than normal page requests. What i have done for testing is, create a playlist within a site, inside that side created an index.html file with a link to the playlist. all browsers pull up the index file without issue, however, when in vista, clicking the link starts windows media player with an instant error message of "File cannot be found" Winamp doesnt open the file either. However through windows xp media player and winamp open the file and play the song in the listing.

Vista + IE7 combination works and I use that for demos all the time.
