How to install yamj

I believe thats the aeon tweaks I implemented. What tweaks are you refering to? My guess what is happening is that the Aeon tweaks you are setting up i. That is how you are getting the Aeon htmls created.

Like I said though, this process could have easily been changed. I will definitely be checking this out in detail tonight before and after like you suggested.

Plus change the text like actors and such. For instance it allowed me to change the background size to fit the screen better more easily due to them all being way too big. You still have to run YAMJ to take those images and text and create the actual interface for popcorn hours.

Damian, have you built any. I mean for instance I have the full season of Firefly but they can on three Blurays shows on each. How do I create them so you can pick the three with artwork on the popcorn hour?

Is it similar to a box set? Thanks for confirming. I am not sure how YAMJ would handle a tv show box set, have you considered just moving it to individual episodes? I should have a writeup on in the next few days. You busy busy boy. RipBot is a no due to changing the original picture and sounds as far a I know. And ClownHD creates one movie from the disk.

Now I did some thinking and maybe using clownHD you can pick individual. Am I getting close? Come on you can tell me…. You nailed it MakeMKV is the easiest way since you can select all episodes at once. Here is actually a writeup I had done a while back that I was planning on updating:. Ok, the good and the bad. The banners and everything yamj created was awesome!! It gave me a separate icon for each disc played wholely and not episode by episode.

So my trade of is HD Audio or awesome interface….. I must have done something wrong. I read your blog and your info on ClownBD… good stuff. I would just try again with MakeMKV. This is puzzling. Everything works beautifully but this hiccup. It all seems pretty straight forward. I need to make sure that the Firefly episodes are actually HD audio. Thanks again for your assistance. Which Popcornhour hour do you have? Ok, thanks. Hopefully the beta will be released in the next couple of months.

Thanks again for all your help. I have the beta FW for the C and can confirm that bitstreaming from mkv and m2ts does work. This is the first FW of the new SDK so I imagine there are a lot more issues to work out before it goes public which is the cause for the delay. It seems that some of the downloads are no longer hosted. Is it possible to add all the files needed into one download and host that again? I notice something strange in your guide. Does this mean the former edit is no longer needed or do I have to put those lines of code back in the file after overwriting?

Yeah, the low list mod essentially overwrites the need for the top mod. Worse case you can use the Sabish Low Lost mod and if need be make any additional changes afterwards.

One thing to mention, there are newer versions of YAMJ out there that may not work well with the Aeon mod. Thanks for the very fast answers! It does seem that yamj has changed, since generating the new jukebox results in some strange effects.

For example some needed html file are not generated for tv series. Can you tell me which version you use? So it appears that you can save the nfo in the main folder where all your blu rays are stored, or just in the Movie folder. I also believe that YAMJ will look through all the info in the nfo and scrape only what info is missing. Without your guide I was completely lost Deleted the Vail server software.

Installed old WHS. Anybody still have a copy??? Now for my issue. I have followed this writeup to the letter three times actually up to using the default YAMJ theme. I am able to launch the html file and see the wall of titles, but I am missing many of the graphic effects. Basically the only graphics that do appear are the movie posters; none of the elements of the web page are there, like the play button, navigation buttons, the background wallpaper, and so forth.

Basically I get a white background and a lot of broken image links the links themselves seem to work. I do not have a hard drive in the Popcorn Hour A model , so I wonder if this is an issue. That is a first, I dont think I have ever heard of that issue. Thanks for the response back. I am using YAMJ r Hello and thank you all for your support and specially to Damian for creating this great tutorial. Everything works great with YAMJ and the i install Aeon skin default and everything works great also.

I emptied my jukebox folder generated everything again and no html files … cant figure out what it is. Any help will be appreciated. One interesting alternative, it looks like a member over at NMT created an all in one package with all the mods already set up:. I know what it was. After a fresh install, i did a step by step follow up of your guide.

When i changed something i generated a movie wall until i find which change was generating errors. And i found out that it was the little piece of code for the IMDB top that was causing the error.

After i put that into the file no html files was generated. To solve it i just left that step behind. Thank you for your fast reply. Here i am again. I have an Egreat m34a and beside the above metioned error everything worked like a charm. How to configure it to work with this skin? You can specify in one of the YAMJ properties files to download trailers if that is what you are looking to do.

I think there is a way to play back streaming trailers but I never tried. In the moviejukebox-default. Change this to true:. First off thanks for the tutorial, you really simplified it for those of us who are newbies. From your PC you can just see what the layout looks like.

Excellent guide, my problem is getting the BluRay logo to appear on the details page. Yanfoe picks up the. How can I get the BluRay logo to appear. You may want to post on the NMT forum as I imagine others have run into the same issue or have it working. I believe there are separate music jukeboxes if you search on the NMT forum.

You would create two network shares on your A For example I have an smb network share called My Videos that points to my Videos share folder. You would then do the same thing for your music. I am not sure if you can do this with your NAS, but essentially you want to make your Music and Video folders shared. Sounds like your Library path is set up incorrectly. When I choose play, the screen goes blank for a bit and then kicks back out to the description of the movie, show, etc.

The location of the index. Also, here is a tip, there is a file that you place in folders so NMJ does not process. Damian, this fellow made it seem easy…want to try it? What you want is a little menu of your own to start.. I tried using this package but actually it causes an issue where all the text is black, otherwise everything plays fine. HTML files. Had a heck of a time finding the AEON skin. Something else I overlooked? Any guidance would be appreciated..

Real sorry for the delayed response. Are you still having issues? I thought you were kind of busy judging by your holiday activities…. My interested is more academic I guess…. Did any of my speculations ring a bell? I wanted to test if it worked for me before I commented back. I was having issues with this package but the latest update fixed everything. Let me know if this does the trick.

Any idea, why I cant browse through episodes when there is an episode with a long title? The title takes up two lines and everything below that episode cant be reached. Hi, first of all thanks for the guide! I only have one problem. Using C, last firmware 8th dic. Download Top Mod 4. Place the following right before in the lowlist. Error on line column 3 of lowlist. TransformerConfigurationException: Failed to compile stylesheet. I would instead recommend using SabishGTs All-in-One package which incorporates the latest YAMJ as well as many of the mods mentioned here without you needing to do any manual editing:.

Can anyone help? Right click on the exe file in WHS and go to Properties. You should then see an option to unblock. Once you do this you should be fine. Details: Name, Type. Any other suggestions? One other thing to note: Usually when I try to copy or move the. Finally figured it out — stupid McAfee add-in was deleteing it the second it was copied over! I have ClamAV, a free antivirus software add in. I have zero issues playing back any content. Of course I will be looking to get my hands on the new players coming out in for reviews as well.

Can I ask if there is any play button so I can start playing the films within the index file? I thought on the old skin you had this option?!

Thanks a lot for your reply. I get exactly what is shown on the installation guide. In the Aeon, I mean. See your own pictures in the instructions above. Yeah, because hitting the Enter button when you are in the Movie Detail page serves as the play button.

I am not sure if the same thing applies if you use the Sabish All In One package which is what I was testing recently. Dbone, can I ask you a question, I just switched over to the Aeon skin been using stock YAMJ for years and like it but I have so many movies, how do I give myself the option to list the movies and have the poster on the right as in this pic:.

I think it is under skin-options. You should see that there is a Index Page option, you need to set this variable to list mine is currently set at awesome. Or is there something else to do. I have always used myihome but I set up an smb for my iPhone remote. I am thinking about switching my Yamj over to that. Glad I could help. I guess a pretty n00b question, does YAMJ also support my music? Can YAMJ arrange that for me? For months I have been trying to set this up with no success. I check the attributes again and the gray box is checked again!

Can someone help?? I really want to get this to work…. Thanks for the reply. I chose this location so that YAMJ would launch automatically, as you described above.

Did you try setting up SMB similar to how I set up in my samba guide? If you think that SMB may correct the issue I will certainly try it. You mentioned that you had problems using drive letters so I never even attempted using it that way. However, I have both of them set up on my WHS without issue. Just got my pch a and wondering if your guide still applies since its been a while since you wrote this.

Thanks for the help either way… kt. Thanks D.. Btw, all the skins you mentioned are pretty nice esp SabishGT. Appreciate it.. Confused on multiple drives and the ability of PCH to only mount 1 drive. Current configuration is WHS V1 with a pooled drive. When I switch to WHS , what is the best way to point to now multiple drives for the media wall.

Can you just add them in the config tool or is there an issue with PCH and more than 1 location? Saw some where about some kind of link in windows? My understanding is that the Sigma players can only mount one smb share at a time. I think you would have an issue if for example you have your YAMJ jukebox on one share and then try to play back content that is on another share.

Man, no regrets on my part for sticking with WHS v1. After so long, this site still comes in handy! I want to remove some of those — is there a way to modify what shows up? Thanks mate. The penny has finally dropped. Great tutorial.

Just like your other guide about setting up SMB shares you race thru and forget the important bits. I race through, are you sure about that?

If something gets missed I apologize. If you feel like I am racing through and missing important bits please feel free to write your own guides as I do my best with my free time to cover as much as possible. Also, I dont care if its your job or out of the goodness of your heart, if you are giving advice and its not spot on then dont give the advice. As I mentioned I do the best to capture everything but things will get missed, it happens, deal with it. But they are not working.

Can you help. I think you have to overwrite all the created xml files for YAMJ to create new ones with the icons. Try deleting your jukebox and rerunning. The Yellow Star problem was down to thr Read Me info which said put them in the Flags folder and even when I unzipped the file they were in a Flags folder.

In case anyone else has this they should go in the detail folder. Is it posible to change the index page to 2 rows instead of 3. If so how? Also if it is will it work with box thumbnails.

I would check the skin. There are a variety of options you can adjust. Can someone please be kind enough to re-upload them? I think all those files were maintained by the guys on the NMT site. Thanks for your very helpful thread — it has made using the AEON skin great for me!

I do have one question though. Great find for me. Any direction on where these are? I downloaded a complete package but now i have a problem. All the movie info is in german and i want it to be in English so the movie synopsis should be in english and now everything is german What should i change? Privacy Policy Advertise Contact.

I have had issued when using drive letters so I generally try to stick with manually typing in the UNC path. You can only pick one location at a time, so if you have several different locations you will need to run through this process once for each location The next step is is to select how you are going to access your video files.

Once you enter and hit ok you should now see all the network shares available in the dropdown. Select the network share you want to use. One of the benefits of doing it this way is that if you have multiple NMTs you can set this up once and all your NMTs can access YAMJ as long as the network share is the same on each jukebox After selecting the Network Path, next step is to select where you want the jukebox files that YAMJ will create stored.

YAMJ will also create a file called index. TIP — if you choose to store the jukebox files in the same location as the network share you choose, when you access that share from your NMT YAMJ will automatically load without having to first select the index. Once you have selected the jukebox directly, now click the Add button.

A popup will appear asking you to assign a name, so type in whatever name you want. If you have no more locations to add click save, otherwise start back at the first step and walk through the process again.

Once done adding all movie directory locations, click Save. If you ever need to change this you can either rerun the Config tool or just manually edit this file. When you run the cmd file a dos prompt will appear and you can watch as YAMJ goes through your video collection. Once done you can close the dos prompt. If this is your first time running depending on how large your video collection is it could take up to 10 minutes to complete. Afterwards, YAMJ will only run against newly added videos, so the run time should drop drastically.

TIP — on the first run I like to scroll through the log in the dos prompt to see if there are any sort of errors. This is probably the easiest method. Once done, run over to your NMT and you should have a new Aeon jukebox waiting for you that looks something like this: Movie Wall View Movie Detail View TV Shows Banner View Modifications There are many modifications you can make to the Aeon skin small stuff like changing the logos used to bigger stuff like changing the entire view.

There will be a small space between each icon, if you want to remove the spacing the following will need to be replaced in the lowlist. Please note that if you want to use these covers you will have to do one of two things i when you copy the files you must rename to what is currently being used i. In lowlist. If you just want Movies to show on the initial load: Go to line 70 in the skin. If you only want HD movies then mjb. If you only want TV Shows change to mjb.

Subscribe to the RSS feed! Quick questions what is Cinemascope and the overscan tools for?? Have you ever had tv shows working before? Latest version of yamj solved the problem. Damian, Reading that makes me appreciate SageTV and its sometimes complicated fine tuning a whole lot better. Tex, Haha, yeah, that is exactly what I commented about in my final thoughts.

You want to use an HTPC for playback with a jukebox type look? Bruce, The PopBox has definitely sparked a lot of interest. Of course I will try to get my hands on one for a review!!! Also that new UI they are looking on looks nice. Cheers Damian. PMAN, Great to hear you got everything working. Were you able to see the covers fine just using the default YAMJ skin? I think that info might come from MediaInfo. Are you running the latest MediaInfo? Yeah i got the latest version of MediaInfo.

Chris, TV Rename is solid. Definitely feel free to link to any articles you think would be useful for any of your readers. Another excellent guide Damien! Glad I could help Ashman!!! PMAN, Yes dont worry, the comments section doesnt work for pasting code, I tried 10 times this morning!

If i do this will i have to redo everything that i have already done? The changes you have made are to the Aeon skin, correct? Any ideas?? I would just delete all files for one movie and rerun, see what you get. Does this make sense? Thanks Jason. Damian, You must be some king of blogging Jedi.

Cheers and thanks for all the help. Jason I guess I should start just enjoying some movies. Also, if you keep the screen on the jukebox when yo power off, it will load right back up when you power back on I just posted my review on the A Which Sabish TV mode are you using, the one that comes with Aeon or are you trying version 2?

I realize one of the huge benefits of having a Networked Media Tank is Yet I think you will see, it is simply a matter of configuration in YAMJ to have it look at the internal hard drive or a networked drive.

It is all relative. If I don't install YAMJ on the media player, how does it build jukebox information for my media files? Perhaps a more detailed drawing will help. See Figure 2 below.

Click on the image for a higher resolution version. Figure 2 is a very simplified representation for a specific application of YAMJ but some things are worth pointing out. First, the steps labeled as 1 , 2 and 3 are actually iterated for each media file although there is some parallel processing of these steps.

The generation of the web page, step 4 , is done after all the media files have been interrogated. Also, you'll note that while I show it interrogating the PCH for media files, there is no reason it can't interrogate a file server somewhere on the network.

I am not going to say a lot about installing YAMJ because there really is no install. Just unpack it on your hard drive. There are also plenty of other help pages on the web for this.

I will add the following points however:. Note that the official installation instructions make reference to using a specific version of the MediaInfo executable. I used the very latest version much newer than the recommended one and it worked perfectly fine. In our example here, that drive resides on the PCH. If using a Windows machine, you can do this by mapping the PCH as a shared drive letter. Of course this mapping is only necessary when you want to run YAMJ, it is not necessary to have any connection after the jukebox is built.

No surprise, this is the most important step we will discuss. The GUI may be helpful for some people as it can expedite the config process but configuring is really simple so I don't see a need for the GUI.

You will see a ton of words in this section. That's just me. This is really simple, I just use a lot of words because I want you to understand what you are doing and how flexible YAMJ is. Although we'll show you the exact details later, there are four things you need to decide at this point:. Some of these things we will need to code into the configuration files and others we will use when we run YAMJ on the PC.

Now that we've made all those decisions, what do we do with the four pieces of information? Go into the YAMJ directory and depending on which version you have, you might find the file labeled libraries. Newer versions don't have this file at all, they have an example-library. If libraries. We will be building our own. You can get all the details here but this important file is used to point YAMJ to two of those locations we decided above. Note that some of the official documentation refers to this file as "library.

Create a new text file or empty file in the YAMJ directory and name it libraries. Open it with your favorite text editor e. Notepad and start with something like this:. Without completely rehashing all the details available here , I'll point out a couple important things here.

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.
