I'm working on it... it seems to be a problem only on some servers. let me a bit more time... I'm doing all I can

I'll let you know when I solve it...

ok. Need any informations?

I'm doing some tests. I think I have an idea of what the problem may be, but still testing.

maybe I'll ask you to make some specific tests.

as you can see, this problem seems to affect only to certain servers, and thats very frustrating for me as a developer, since I only have acces to one server (mine), and I cannot test what I would like to in other servers. that's why I may need your help.

but first let me get some more ideas of what the problem might be

Ok, I understand the matter. Hope you can solve it easily and not such in a long time! Good luck

I' ve got the same problem on another server.. as U can see, this problem happens on www.jamyourself.com & www.jamyourself.it and those site are hosted on 2 different servers..

hello Luca,

you're having the same error that another user had. I think it's quite simple to solve. the error is that when your Joomla is generating the XML file for the playlist, it is adding two CSS files in it, wich are causing the XML file to be bad-formed so it dont works

you can see it here : http://www.jamyourself.com/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=playlist&format=feed&type=xspf

look at the source code an you will see:

This shouldnt be here. So all we have to do is to find where is this being putted, and cut it out. I dont know exactly what file is including it... you can tru to find it by searching "plugins/system/jceutilities/css/jceutilities-217.css" on your joomla installation! (so you see the file that is including this undesired CSS!)

hope it helps

please tell me something!

all the best

I found teh file, I'm gonna send it by email. I tried to unpublish the plugin, but the error is still showing up..

no, no... I didn't exaplin myself well.

what I mean is that this CSS file IS BEING included on the XML file, and that should not happen

what I want you to do is to search for the name of the file, but NOT to find the CSS file, but to find WHERE is this file being added to the XML..

so we are looking for the file that is including the CSS, NOT the CSS itself

do U know what I mean?

Let's see if I've got what you are asking me: I'm supposed to search where the CSS file you said in the previous post is being loaded, so what I've to do is just to look in a file a to look for that CSS. But, where am I supposed to search that CSS????

well, what program do you use for managing PHP files?

nearly all programs (from Notepad to Dreamweaver) have a Search facility (usually CTRL + F or CMD + F on Mac) that lets you search through ALL DOCUMENTS in a folder.

so all you have to do is to search for the name of the css file on you Joomla folder, and you will see every file in wich this file is being called. usually this will be just a few files.

do you know what I mean now?

I'm gonna try to do that, where have I to search for? All html and php files?? or also css files???

all files inside your joomla installation

dont worry!! the search is quick process!!! 30 seconds maximum!!! computers these days are faaaaaaaaaaaaassst!!!

I got it. I send it you in the attachment by email

hello Luca,
no, this is not the file I was looking for. This is only an XML file used to install a component that uses the css file is causing you the problems.
this is not the file making the include...
it should be a PHP file
are you sure it the call to the css file is not present in any other file? it has to be!!

I did the search on the root of my joomla installation... If you want i can give FTP access data so you can check it on your own.. I'm feeling a little bit worried about this problem, I'm gonna open my website on october 1, and this function it's supposed to be workin...

ok, give me access, lets see what I can do

to anyone reading this thread:

if you are experiencing this problem ("This Playlist is not a valid XML file") and you are running sh404sef in your site, then you probably need to upgrade your sh404sef extension for Music Collection for the 1.5.0 version, downloadable here:
