Ahh this is what I suspected with .m3u files....
.m3u's have been around since the mid 1990's and where first used to create playlists for MP3 Files. Though now a days I've seen quite a few other formats being used. Anyway's it looks like XBMC reads the playlist but then it wants to play the files listed as an AUDIO file. See my log
I created a my .m3u file in the same directory where I had some test downloaded video files that I could use. Told the HTE Script to use the .m3u file itself as the playlist.
.m3u file contents:
Code:
#EXTM3U
gijoetheriseofcobra-tlr1_h640w.mov
jennifersbody-tlrc_h640w.mov

You can see in the log that it tried to load the CDAudioDecoder to play the files listed in the .M3U playlist.
I'm not sure what a vaild Video Playlist that XBMC can handle looks like.
Anyone Else Know?
As a work around, you can always just use some kind of Video Editing software and just join the Videos in the order that you want and create it as 1 video file. Just a thought. I'll dig around and see what a valid video format playlist should look like see what I come up with.
Hope this helps
Cheers
