re: Playlists aren't updating on Xbox 360

In my zune playlists section I have added about 70 songs to a playlist that I like to play when I'm gaming on my 360, but it only shows and plays about the first 40 of them that I added first (which I added about a week before adding these new 30 tracks). What gives?

Had to move this to the appropriate forum, so hopefully you get better help here.

I'll ask the guy on my team that tests this and see if he has any suggestions. I'm guessing you have turned the xbox on and off? Maybe try renaming the playlist? Disable and reenable sharing on the Zune software, and on the Xbox itself?

Sorry, this isn't my area of expertise, just throwing some ideas out there.

I'm having the same basic problem. The playlists that show up are old ones that I have since deleted, and my new playlist(s) aren't showing up on the 360. Please help!

 

Slightly different use case but exact same experience.  I am running Win7 RC, I share my video content and open up my XBox to my full network.  I want to watch Podcasts on the big screen.  I have XBox in the network to do that. When I go to video sources on the XBox I see the machine and it's Zune icon.  When I choose that video source I only get what was available on the first time I set up this connection.  I tried to disable and re-enable but not change.  Only a removal and reinstall seems to work.  The workaround is to just use the XBox software to navigate my filesystem and then find the podcasts and watch them that way.  Sort of defeats the purpose of linking my Zune to the XBox.

Still no resolution to this issue? I'm less concerned about the cause than I am about a potential fix. Can we please get some input from Zune support, or anyone who has hadc this issue resolved? Please provide assistance as soon as possible!

Wow, it's now been a month and I still haven't received any follow-up from MS regarding this issue. If anyone in the community can help it would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard that there is a fix coming for this- could be as soon as next week.

Playlists are only part of my problem.  I have recently purchased several CDs, ripped them, added to Zune library, sync'd with Zune device, and the the artist for one, and none of the CDs show up on my xbox.

Any idea where the evil cache is (on computer or xbox)?  Any way to reset and just let all the data re-sync?

I'm having the same problem.  It appears to just be playlist related.  It's showing some old playlists through the 360 sharing that I can't seem to find anywhere else.  (They work too!)  This problem is occuring on Vista.  Machine is also running Media Center, it that has anything to do with it.

I saw this: (Zune Media Reset Tool)

Seems sort of sledgehammer-ish for my problem...  kind of afraid to try it.

I did the Media Reset Tool thing.  This solved my problem.  I also stopped sharing to the 360, then reshared music to the 360 after the reset and all is better. 

I do have a side effect to this fix however.  The machine I did this on was a Vista MCE, I used to be able to play my subscription songs through the extenders and locally on the PC through MCE.  Not any more, now I get a C00D11B1 error.
