Step by step install instructions

Introduction

Here are some simple step-by-step instructions, this should get you started with the jukebox.

Details

Setup: Movies stored in Movies folder in Y:\ (Doesn't matter where, substitute Y:\ for where your movies are)

  1. Install Java from HERE
  2. Create new folder on your PC name YAMJ, E.G. C:\YAMJ\
  3. Download YAMJ from HERE or if you are up to testing or have any issues with the latest release, you can download the latest beta revision from HERE to this folder
  4. Extract the YAMJ archive to this folder. Do not create a sub-folder, just extract it and it will create all the required folders
  5. Download !MediaInfo from HERE - Note: You must download the CLI version of !MediaInfo (look for CLI in the filename) - If you are on windows 32bit get the package !MediaInfo_CLI_x.x.x.x_Windows_i386.zip - If you are on Windows 64bit get the package !MediaInfo_CLI_x.x.x.x_Windows_x64.zip - If you are on Mac get the package !MediaInfo_CLI_x.x.x_Mac_Universal.dmg - If you are on another operating system, choose the appropriate package. - NOTE: If you are on Mac or Linux you may need to make the mediainfo.exe file executable before it will be recognised by YAMJ: chmod 755 *.exe
  6. In the YAMJ folder create a new folder and name it !MediaInfo (no spaces) extract the files into that folder
  7. Download YAMJ Gui tool from HERE to your YAMJ folder
  8. Extract the GUI Tool to this folder
  9. Run "YAMJ GUI Config" and target your PCH movie folder. This will generate the My_YAMJ.cmd & !My_Library.xml
  10. Your folder should now look something like the image below http://moviejukebox.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/Install_Folder.png

Finally open the YAMJ folder (if it's closed) and double click My_YAMJ.cmd

This should open a cmd window (DOS box) and your movie files will be indexed.

Opening the index

On your NMT / PCH

  1. Select the network share, hard-drive or USB device where you saved the index from the GUI Config program
  2. Select the 4th icon along (from the left)
  3. Browse to the folder where the jukebox was created
  4. You should see index.htm select that and the jukebox will start

Re-running YAMJ

When you add new movies to the jukebox, correct movie details or add new posters and fanart, you can re-run YAMJ by just clicking on the My_YAMJ.cmd file. Assuming that you haven't changed where the movies are stored, YAMJ should re-run and add the new files to the index.

Next Steps

Once you have the index on the NMT and you are able to browse the videos, you may need these pages:

  • Videos won't play? [- Wrong movie details NFO_Files
  • Poster or Fanart is wrong? Artwork
