The solution is much simpler than I think most people generally understand. All that is needed is a text file to be created such as the following:

=========================================================
<?wpl version="1.0"?>
<smil>
    <head>
        <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.18150"/>
        <meta name="ItemCount" content="0"/>
        <title>e9280t-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-N.wpl</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <seq>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\12 Years A Slave.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Alexander.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Battlefield Earth.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Battleship.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Beautiful Mind, A.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\X-Men - The Last Stand.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Young Frankenstein.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Zero Dark Thirty.wmv"/>
            <media src="J:\VIDEO_Movies\Zone Troopers.wmv"/>
        </seq>
    </body>
</smil>
=========================================================
1) In the above file. "ItemCount=0" is correct regardless of 
   the number of entries in the file.
2) the content of the "J:\...." string is the location &
   name of the Video file, as found in the XMM Files Link. The
   WD Device will extract the movies name from this string.
3) The "e9280t-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-N.wpl" consists of 3 items.
   3.1) The "e9380t" string which represents the name of
        the WD Device. NOT Required but useful in a multi-WD
        environment.
   3.2) The YYYYMMDDHHMMSS represents the current date & 
        down to the seconds.
   3.3) The "N" character is actually a designator for the
        way the file is sorted. I create 2 files for each
        server. the 1st file is sorted by "N"ame. and the
        2nd is sorted by "D"ate. 
        files for each server. One uses the "N" method,
        which uses the Movie "N"ame for sorting by.
4) The file type is ".wpl", which is a MS Windows Media Player
   Playlist file. So accentually you get a WD Device file as well
   as a Windows based device file.

This file is also a MS Windows Media Player Playlist file.

As I said above, the ability to export the XMM database to the WD Device is much easier than most people really realize.

Thanks,
