hi, I create a xspf playlist with php (http://dhost.info/vibes/track/?id=quPUYJJGURYLGEqdCJEmczPe). But it doesn't show up in the player...
here a prev. of the player: http://dhost.info/vibes/

anyone ideas?

The URI in the location element of your playlist does not end in a recognized media file extension, therefore you must use the meta element to add the type to each track:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<playlist version='1' xmlns='http://xspf.org/ns/0/'>
  <title>Vibes Music XSPF playlist</title>
  <info>http://dhost.info/vibes/</info>
  <trackList>
    <track>
      <title>Born in the U.S.A.</title>
      <creator>Bruce Springsteen</creator>
      <info>http://dhost.info/vibes</info>
      <annotation>All videos are the copyrighted properties of their respectieve artist and publishing company.</annotation>
      <location>http://dhost.info/vibes/yt?q=Born+in+the+U.S.A.+Bruce+Springsteen</location>
      <meta rel='type'>video</meta>
    </track>
      ...
  </trackList>
</playlist>



When the file URL contains special characters ( ? = & ), then it must be urlencoded, like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
  var so = new SWFObject('mediaplayer/player.swf', 'mpl', '470', '470', '9.0.124');
      so.addParam('allowscriptaccess',   'always');
      so.addParam('allowfullscreen',     'true');
      so.addVariable('file',              encodeURIComponent('track/?id=quPUYJJGURYLGEqdCJEmczPe'));
      so.addVariable('playlist',         'bottom');
      so.addVariable('stretching',       'fill');
      so.write('player');
</script>

i think XSPF player just won't work for internet explorer, unless you have own your webserver. But there is another flash player tiny and small, that works like a charm in both the browsers, check it out on my blog http://crazy4tips.blogspot.com/2009/11/total-guide-free-mp3-player-for-your.html
