Yes if you run yamj/eversion it will mount whatever share it needs and play the video file.

And also if you want to use NMJ the built in jukebox there is way to make it work with multiple shares also its a little more work to get working but does work.


So first thing first were you trying to use NMJ the built in jukebox or yamj the jukebox that is ran from a pc?


The way you keep saying it put a database on each share makes me think you were using NMJ

Hi Halflite

Then I started with my Popcorn Hour C200 I only had one NAS and I used standard YAMJ wich was run from a pc and exsported the databasefile with art and so on to the NAS. I didn't use the eversion skin/addon. Later on i got my Nas nr. 2 (have 4 Qnap TS410 now) and now my problems started. I needed to have the YAMJ database placed on a NAS but I could not get it to start movies placed on the other NAS. The PopCornHour sort of get stuck on the NAS i started the YAMJ database from. I tried different stuff but I never actually got it to work and on the Networkmediaforum I found people stating that the Popcornhour only could handle one share at the time (one NAS) so I stopped trying to solve the "quest"

Then I bought my C300 I didn't use YAMJ but the buildin NMJ. It works much like my first go with YAMJ on the C200, it scans the selected Nas, place a database locally on the NAS, and could only starts movies from the NAS it was placed on. I never found a complete description how to work around this problem. I have to admit that I'm not a pro programmer in Linux, Java and the like - so that could be part of the problem.

If you have a description on how to make YAMJ/Eversion work on my C300 with one database for exsample placed on the internal drive in the C300 being able to start movies from whatever NAS they are placed on I would be most gratefull for you to share it with me.

I'm sure that there would be lot's of other users benefitting from it too

there are a couple ways to get it to work with yamj/eversion you need to look here http://www.dentedboxes.com/doku.php/yamj:install:share but to better understand when you set the player path for the library you will use smb://[username=password]server/sharename/path

so for example you will have this

<libraries>
    <library>
        <path>z:/nas1/movies</path>
        <playerpath>smb://[username=password]nas1/movies/</playerpath>
        <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/,/._"/>
        <description></description>
        <prebuf></prebuf>
        <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
    </library>

    <library>
        <path>y:/nas2/TV/</path>
        <playerpath>smb://[username=password]nas2/tv</playerpath>
        <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/,/._"/>
        <description></description>
        <prebuf></prebuf>
        <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
    </library>

and you can store the jukebox files anywhere they can be on a share on any nas or on the internal drive of the pch. and just to note you dont have to add the shares to the pch if you dont want to

I will try to dig into it and be back with a responce then I hopefully get's it to work

Hi Halfelite

I tried to do as told and it works fine, but only if i set the output in the first line to the same as the playerpath. YAMJ scans the movies and creates a jukebox i can start from my PopcornHour.

In the example below I set it to scan 3 different path Bluray8 - 9 - and 10.
I tried in the first line to set it to store the output from the scan to a path on Nas1 there i have a empty directory called YAMJ.

Can you tell what the correct script file should look like?

The reason why it stores 1047 was because i already tried to scan eash share one by one with the output path set to the same path where the movies there stored.

Warm regards
Thomas

its saing <path>p:/nas1/yamj</path> is not a valid path for media, path should be were your media is stored not where you want to store the jukebox

Hi Halflite thx for taking the time to comment.

YAMJ is working fine with Eversion skins, and I have no problems scanning each storage where the media is then i set the path for the output to be the same.

But then if I want to collect all the outputs from YAMJ/Eversion in on jukeboks I should just copy each jukebox from the media storage to this one collection jukebox and thats it - or do you disagree

I saw on DentedBoxes that a lot of users was going for a skin called EvHell, can you recommend this skin?

No that is not what you do, Your putput for all jukeboxes should go in a single folder. You should scan all nas's in one go only run yamj once for all storage options you have. So say you are saving your jukebox to local media on the pch. we will call it Z:\ mapped on your pc, And you are scanning NAS1 at y:\Movies and nas2 at x:\tvshows your library will look like this.

<!-- Library file generated by Omertron's GUI Config -->

<library>
<path>Y:\Movies</path>

</libraries>

Then when you run yamj if you are doing it from command line it would look something like this

MovieJukebox.bat MY_library.xml -o Z:\yamj

that would scan both NAS1 and NAS2 at the same time and put the output into the internal drive of teh pch in a folder called yamj, from there you can watch anything on either nas

[Thomas D]

Now I get it - i was so focussed on that the path to there yamj should store the jukebox data should be somewhere in the library file. I didn't think about it should be given with the start command. Nice to get it right - thx for helping
