There you go. We pointed it to the Video directory because that's where are media files are on the PCH. When will it need this information? It uses this when you are browsing the jukebox and press "PLAY" on the remote.
If you'd like to see how to do that, have a look at our other page. One final note on this file. This means you can have YAMJ operate on multiple media libraries and build a single jukebox web page to support all of them. Got a USB drive in addition to your internal drive?
This is how you do both of them. Pretty neat. That was it for major configuration. Did we really need a GUI for that? I think not. I'll also let you in on a little secret at this point: we didn't even need to build a libraries file!
Assuming we have a single library, we can do all this on the command line when we execute YAMJ. But it is good to build it so we establish the nmtpath s. What about the skin choice? What about the destination directory for the web page?
Well, the destination directory will be used when we actually execute YAMJ, we won't put that in a config file [Note: actually you can put this in the moviejukebox. The skins are selected in a different file. That's optional, not mandatory, but I'll touch on it quickly because it is also super simple. On older versions of YAMJ, you will find a moviejukebox. In these newer versions, you'll want to create your own moviejukebox.
Then go into the newly created file and change or create only the parameters you need and they will override the defaults. You guessed it. All you have to do is point that to the skin directory you want to use. You can of course add any downloaded skins under that directory. Without belaboring the point here, changing the skin to the default SD skin is as simple as:. Executing the YAMJ code can be as easy as a single-word command if you want to use the defaults in the properties file.
In Linux you might be at the command prompt already but will likely need to find the way to get there from your GUI. Once there, change directories cd to the YAMJ directory, wherever you installed it.
Remember that fourth parameter we decided on back when we were configuring? Here is where we use that. The MovieJukebox portion actually executes a little batch file that contains all the Java commands to kick things off. The libraries. There is some very complete documentation here. You should now see YAMJ going to work. It will look at each file in your specified location, go out to the web IMDb and other places gathering data, and finally create your jukebox web page saved to your specified location.
You should be looking at your new jukebox! Note: You can place some of these run-time parameters into your moviejukebox. You can also change the nmtroot path in the same file. See the following paramters:. If YAMJ is having a hard time finding details on your media files, the first thing you want to check is the naming conventions you are using. See the next tip also. There are also some tips for naming television shows on this page. Basically you just put the season number S and the episode number E right after the title in the form of: SnnEnn.
So these are all perfectly workable examples:. Don't loose any sleep over this, there is an easy fix. Simply create a text file in the same directory as the media file and use the same base name but put a. So if for some reason YAMJ is not correctly cataloging our Taxi Driver file, all we need to do is make sure the two files are in the same directory. And what goes inside the.
So in this case, all we have in the Taxi Driver It is that simple. It should then correctly identify the media file. There is a lot more you can do with. See this page for all the details.
So what do you do when you add new media files? They don't automatically appear in your jukebox pages just because you pushed the files to the PCH. You need to re-run YAMJ. This will execute much faster than your first run. It will only work on files that are new and will not go out to the web or create new html files for media that it has already seen. What about when you remove a file? Again, the static web page that YAMJ generated will have no way of knowing that you removed a media file.
The easiest way to handle this is to re-run YAMJ with the -c switch on the command line. That will clean out any unused files from the Jukebox directory after the run. Alternatively of course you can manually go into the Jukebox directory and delete the corresponding files they will have the media file name embedded in them. I have not seen this discussed elsewhere so it may be peculiar to my installation but I suspect it is caused by a slow network connection.
Let me explain. Whisper Guest. Hey I like this software. Been looking at other means but this looks ideal. Quick question, will this work on the HDX? Downinja Well-known Member. Works on all NMTs. Socbutter Standard Member.
It's robinsjexcal skin. Smurfin Distinguished Member. Just so people know, be aware that on some of these other skins the navigation is alot slower read: clumsier than the standard YAMJ one. I've tried robsinsjexcal and movie flow, and whilst they look pretty, imho nothing comes close to the latest YAMJ in terms of form and functionality The big positive is, with any of these skins they're easy to test out, no big loss if you don't like it.
That's one of the beauties of NMTs imho. Where can I try the Gucci skin? Quite right Smurfin, the default black skin is equally pleasing. One annoying thing on the to do list , is season grouping. I have 7 series of Family guy, 10 series of Friends, etc, I dont want 10 folders of friends, I want 1.
That will be good once thats implimented. Seph23 said:. I am awaiting the season stacking before I really start to use YAMJ, 8 seasons of scrubs takes up the best part of page. Some screenshots below: The best part of it is, it will automatically download all video images from the IDMB website and even the description.
Its not too straight forward to setup, but never the less must be easy as I achived it Brilliant software Last edited by a moderator: Sep 16, You must log in or register to reply here.
