"playlist Playback Aborted" Problem

this message could come up if you moved or deleted songs that were previously part of a playlist... If i were you I would just re-make the playlist and delete the current one.

"playlist Playback Aborted" Problem

Thanks for the tips but neither of those really apply - it happens when using party mode, and library re-scanned to ensure it's not picking up any old files (not that I ever delete any) and it reads off a NAS drive, not a windows based PC.

"playlist Playback Aborted" Problem
« Reply #2 on: March 09, 2008, 02:57:00 PM »

I have a similar problem frequently with [Music] Party Mode. After playing one or more (normally less than 5) songs then I get the dialog "Party Mode mode [sic] aborted.  Could not get songs from database".
Then XBMC plays the rest of the stored playlist (now 9 songs) and finishes.  This is frustrating, since I use party mode a lot, and this effectively means Party Mode doesn't work for me.

My Xbox is connected to my router via wireless, and my media is all hosted on a Windows XP PC (wired connection), accessed via SMB.  The performance of this setup seems fine, and I never have problems streaming music or video files from the PC.  However, the Party Mode seems to have this issue.
I've tried Updating Library, Clean Library, and deleting the XBMC music database files and rescanning all the media.  None of these fixes the problem.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

I completely re-installed XBMC in the end - solved the problem!
