<h1>In most cases...</h1>
<p>If your playlist doesn't work, one reason could be the difference between the paths used in the playlist and the URL in your browser.</p>
<p>It is necessary to create a crossdomain.xml file at the root of the site hosting the file. It must contain the domains authorized to load the files.</p>
<h2>Let me show you an example</h2>
<ol>
<li>Path in your playlist:<br />http://<strong><u>www.</u>yourdomain.com</strong>/joomla_directory/mp3/song1.mp3|Artist 1 - Title 1</li>
<li>Path in your browser:<br />http://<strong>yourdomain.com</strong> (without leading www)</li>
<li>Result:<br /><strong>You won't see or hear anything!</strong></li>
</ol>
<br />
<p>And here comes <strong>the solution</strong> for this problem:</p>
<h2>The Crossdomain Policy</h2>
<ol>
<li>Create a new text file named <strong>crossdomain.xml</strong>.</li>
<li>Open <strong>crossdomain.xml</strong> in a text editor.</li>
<li>
Add the following XML code to the file:
<br /><br />
<div class="code">
<p><?xml version="1.0"?></p>
<p><!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"></p>
<p><cross-domain-policy></p>
<p> <allow-access-from domain="www.yoursite.com" /></p>
<p> <allow-access-from domain="yoursite.com" /></p>
<p> <allow-access-from domain="subdomain.yoursite.com" /></p>
<p> <allow-access-from domain="www.from-another-server.com" /></p>
<p> <allow-access-from domain="from-another-server.com" /></p>
<p> <allow-access-from domain="subdomain.from-another-server.com" /></p>
<p></cross-domain-policy></p>
</div>
<br />
</li>
<li>Don't forget to <strong>change</strong>, <strong>delete</strong> or <strong>add</strong> the <strong>paths</strong> fit to your server.</li>
<li>Save the file.</li>
<li>Upload the file to the root directory of <strong>yoursite.com</strong><br />(so that the file can be accessed at http://www.yoursite.com/crossdomain.xml).</li>
</ol>

</ul>
<h2>Another reason</h2>
<p><strong>Unix Servers require case sensitive letters!</strong></p>
<p>That means, if your website is hosted on an Unix Server (like most websites) and your playlist file is called <strong>PLAYLIST.TXT</strong>, do not type <strong>playlist.txt</strong> in the module administration - this will not work.</p>
<p>Generally it's always a good idea to use lowercase letters for all file names.</p>
