WD TV Live won't play playlists

Hi,

I’m a novice to this media player stuff . .  Just got my WDTV Live yesterday.  Fiddling & reading about this Playlist thing for a couple hours, and keep getting the No Media message.  What suddenly (inexplicably) worked was using Playlist Creator in Relative mode, and making the playlist from files stored in the WDTV local drive (actually a 4GB thumb drive so far).  Initially it didn’t work.  As noted in a post, I looked at it with Notepad.  I changed the first track by adding a   …\

The  playlist then worked, except that this one modified track name didn’t show up.  So I took out the  …  and left the \ .  That made all 18 tracks show up & play.  I then eliminated the    and now it all still works.  I then created a 2nd playlist, but without any of the Notepad editing.  It works, too!   I know, illogical, but it worked for me.   Maybe it has something to do with priming the pump.  I dunno.
