I had a discussion with Mike @ dune today and there might be a way to make to expand what is needed for some more functionality.. Remind me again about this next week if I don't post anything on it.

To do watched vs unwatched with dune players actually playing the media right now, it's going ot take manual intervention to write out yamj watch files or nfo files telling yamj what you watched.

So yes it supports it but there is no easy way to just mark you watched it.

R0173 of eversion works for both syabas and dune hardware. nothing extra to configure. You just need to setup yamj with the correct playerpaths for your brand.

Mac, windows, linux, synology, qnap, readynas, unraid, freenas. If you can name a system that has java, someone has a yamj setup guide or plugin for it..

OK, so some simple YAMJ housekeeping:

Like accident, I don't have a dune player, so a lot of this will be by feedback.

If there are problems with the scanning and writing of the files then generally speaking it's a YAMJ issue. If it's to do with the playback or skin, then it's Eversion side of things.

If you get an issue with this (stack traces, etc) check the moviejukebox.ERROR.log file and it *might* tell you what the issue is. As this is fairly new for all of you, I expect some questions around this and we'll do the best we can to answer those.

The current stable version of YAMJ is v2.6.1 (r3000), the latest revision of YAMJ is r3137.
You all need a later revision than the current stable version, so you will want to get the downloads from http://mediaplayersite.com/YAMJ_Latest

These are built and posted there automatically, but they are BETA versions, so don't blindly upgrade unless you are ready to support the BETAs with reports and testing.

Issues with the software can be logged at the google code website http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/ in the issues section.

Please search through the current issues to see if there's something already logged before posting a new issue.

As soon as issue 2436 ( http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebo...detail?id=2436 ) is closed I'll release a new stable version so that it can be used by you "Fremen".

This looks good! Currently I only have Dune players. For those of you have tried this as well as DFI what are your thoughts on which is better for Dune players?

Could someone post instructions on exactly how to set this up and start using it in laymans terms for us less experienced folks. I have installed YAMJ and the YAMJ GUI but have yet to figure out just exact what the heck I'm doing.

Thanks in advance!

For a brand new first time install. Use this page which includes an all in one download to speed it up: http://dentedboxes.com/doku.php/yamj:install

You'll find links in the first post for where to find the best help, including lots of install guides.

What are we supposed to be using if our files are on HDD on the Dune player or also on external HDD's? The YAMJ GUI asks for where your movie files are located but its referencing the NMT. Then it asks for the NMT path...is this the path to a YAMJ folder we set up on the Dune player like Zappiti or yaDIS?? And I'm guessing the jukebox should be stored in the same YAMJ folder on the Dune?

Sorry...I've gotten so far as to run the My_YAMJ command and its reading the movies but nothing is happening.

I wish I could make up a simple guide and had tools for the dune, but they don't exist. The yamj gui tool is not ideal and can be confusing because there is no player path help in it. But the good thing is it does write out the couple config files that are a pain in the neck to setup manually and you never need to run it again..

When using the tool:
- Click select dir. This is the path that YAMJ will use to scan your media file.
- Select Jukebox only for my PC, it will bring up a warning, just click ok.
- In the box below the option, you'll see NMT Path. You can click on that option and type in anything you want. Here is where you need to put in the Path the dune uses to play the file. This is where it's tricky, nobody with yamj or eversion knows what is correct to put here. This is where other dune users need to help each other out. The path should be in dune format, and be the same exact folder or directory that you selected above when you clicked select dir.
- If you have more than 1 location to scan in files, click add and do it again for the next location.
- when finished click save and it will ask you where you want it to save your jukebox. The jukebox is a folder with all the yamj data after you run yamj. This is where eversion, your "database" and everything will be written. YAMJ will make the folder for you.

That sets up your my_library.xml file. You can manually edit this at anytime to adjust settings for your scan locations. You never need the gui tool again.

It also made a my_yamj.cmd file which is what you click on (windows) to run yamj. When you run yamj, a little "dos box" appears and you see your movies titles go by on the screen. That's all yamj does, it scans your media and saves them to the Jukebox folder.

After it's finished the first time, you can navigate to the jukebox folder from your dune and when you click on it eversion will appear on the tv. If you got the playerpath (nmtpath) correct, then play will work. If not, everything but playback will work and you need to fix that setting.

Hope that helps a little more with setup..

Normal day to day usage:

Generally all you do is click my_yamj.cmd anytime you edit settings or change your media files.. it'll run faster because it only needs to adjust what changed.. Of course this can be automated, post processing tools, after recording pvr options, cron or task manager automatic runnign time to time.. or just manually running it, whatever works best for your home setup..
