Howdy!
I had a real nice Kodi setup until my TV died and the replacement wouldn't accept the HDMI signal of my tiny PC. So I turned to my Xbox One X and all is well with movies, TV and generic videos. Music is another story.
I have a giant M3U which works fine on my old PC Kodi and general Windows media players. All of the music in on a Synology NAS with an SMB share. I can add the music and it all scans and plays fine. Unless it is referenced in an M3U file. That was created outside of Xbox Kodi that is. I went so far as to create a tiny M3U with the same song, once with the lines from the working-on-PC version but broken on Xbox One, and then with the working version from the Xbox One-created M3U. Here's the difference:
Original Playlist lines that don't work:
#EXTINF:0,Jefferson Starship - Jane
smb://clubNAS/music/Artists/Jefferson Starship/Freedom at Point Zero (Incomplete)/01 Jefferson Starship - Jane.mp3
Xbox One lines that do work:
#EXTINF:0,01. Jefferson Starship - Jane
smb://clubnas/music/Artists/Jefferson Starship/Freedom at Point Zero (Incomplete)/01 Jefferson Starship - Jane.mp3
It appears Xbox One requires an exact match between "scraped" name and #EXTINF line. I thought #EXTINF was optional.
I don't know why the music was scraped incorrectly, using the track number with a period, the artist and the song title as the track name rather than the MP3 embedded track name which in this case is simply "Jane". I made sure I had the same Universal Scraper turned on when adding music that I used with the original PC-based Kodi installation.
Any help greatly appreciated, I like my animated fanart and lyrics that Kodi does rather than the nothing of a bluetooth connection.
