Corrected above.

Now that I've been able to import media with JRiver for Android, can I create playlists with this app?
When I go to the Playlist feature, it highlights the word Playlists but there aren't any boxes to choose from.
Also, does JRiver Media Center generate an XML or txt file for playlists? If it does, I could copy the smart playlists from my PC to the Shield. I know you can Import/Export playlist txt files, but it doesn't look like there's a way to import these playlists in the JRiver for Android version.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to make a playlist yet. The feature will be implemented soon.
You can export smartlists from Media Center. Just right-click a smartlist, select export Playlist, and at the dialog, make sure you select JRiver Smartlist XML. You can transfer that to the device. However, I know that JRiver for Android can import and handle smartlists, but I don't remember if Android blocks them or not. You can still try. You would just import them like any other media file. Just select the folder the file is in to import from.

It didn't work. But, let's see if I did this right.
1. I created a folder on the root of the 14 TB drive attached to the Shield and gave it the name "JRiver Smart Playlists."
2. I right clicked on one of my smartlists and picked 'Export Playlist...'
3. I checked the radiobox 'JRiver Smartlist XML' under the format section.
4. I saved the file, which has the extension 'jsxml' to my desktop and copied it to the folder on the drive attached to my Shield.
5. In JRiver for Android, I tried to import the playlist by choosing the folder where I copied the jsxml file. When i try to navigate into the folder by clicking 3 o'clock on my remote's ring, it says 'Folder is empty'. I followed your instructions and chose just the folder to import.

I thought that might happen with smartlists. It's a problem with Android 11+ and file permissions. We've been trying to figure out a solution for a while. The main problem is read-only permission only seems to apply to media files. Because the OS doesn't know what a jsxml file is, it seems to have restricted permissions.
