Title: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: funkycochise on January 13, 2013, 05:21:27 PM
Hi there

The author of Yadis announced that he would fully support mede8er in a coming future.
By the way thanks to him (Frédéric L'hote) for his great work !

As I needed it for now, and didn't want to use something else, I just wrote a small tool to do the job :

(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20130210092847-funkycochise-y2m.png) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20130210092847-funkycochise-y2m.png)

Latest build 1.1 : 28/05/2013

http://www.mediafire.com/download/u93lpwg0dv5hp33/Yadis2mede8er_1_1_280513.7z (http://www.mediafire.com/download/u93lpwg0dv5hp33/Yadis2mede8er_1_1_280513.7z)

Mede8erize generates xml files for each movie in yadis folder and copy it to matching movie folder.
Folderize looks for movie files in movie folder, create a newfolder for that movie and copy the movie file inside.

Movie folders are the ones set in Yadis.

Note : using folderize may take a while to complete, especially with remote NAS. So if your files doesn't appear right away after process ended in GUI of yadis2mede8er, it's normal : just wait several minutes.

Even if GUI has changed a bit, previous guide for aggregate jukebox remains usable : settings Tab ishouldn't disturb that much

Hi mede8er1,

just wait for the first release. It should arrive these days.

is there somewhere a template available for the movie.xml recognized by mede8er ?

I suggest you use the attached sample XML as a template as it has all the fields that the Mede8er requires to show XML info and for the Movie JukeBox.

I had my template from the one generated by DuneX. I can see that are no info about the media here, so I can remove some markup i am currently exporting.

All fields you specified in attachment are exported by now.

Here we are :

http://www.multiupload.nl/0SYQ5OTUTP (http://www.multiupload.nl/0SYQ5OTUTP)

There is a setting for the program, Yadis Workspace folder :
default value is : C:\Program Files\yaDIS\workspace

Of course if for you this isn't the case, please change it in file yaDIS2mede8er.exe.config
in yadisWorkspacePath
            <setting name="yadisWorkspacePath" serializeAs="String">
                <value>C:\Program Files\yaDIS\workspace</value>
            </setting>

You can check those 2 features :

- mede8erize :
scan all movies in Yadis ans create an xml file formated for mede8er.
known bug : if a movie exists in Yadis but that is still not treated, yadis2mede8er will crash.

- folderize :
scan all folder declared in Yadis. It looks for movie files mkv or avi.
When found, it creates a new folder with the movie name, and then moves the movie file inside.

Additional tips : I declared my shared folders as mapped drives, I didn't test with network path.

Have fun.

Tested and the 'Mede8erize' is creating a 'movie.name.xml' in the Workspace folder but this is not copied to the movie folder. Tests done on local drives and not Network Shares.

 'Folderize' ?? What does this do

Mede8er1
Hi thanks for the test.
It's weird that's not copied.

mede8erize :
1. I look for folders inside workspace\data\
2. I have then an array of folders.
3. For each folder, I get the data.xml
4. Based on that file, I build the movie.xml based on the name of the movie folder.
5. Inside data.xml, I also get the information where the target folder and file are located.
6.  I copy the movie.xml to the target dir.

Folderize :
1. Get Informations from folder.xml inside  workspace\
2. So I have an array of path that are set in yadis
3. I look inside a path, searching for movie files (avi and mkv)
4. There I have an Array of files
5. For each file, I create a folder based on the name of the file.
6. I move the movie file into that folder.

Is it more clear ?

Could you post a screenshot of your log screen or explain a bit more your installation

maybe I could create a logfile for the beta test.

Note : folderize, as tested by myself may take time to be completely achieved,
especiallay using remote shared folder. During my test I often thought tha file would
appear in the folder but finally It does it well.

So your workspace is E:\YADIS_TEST
here you have the data folder with all your directories.

What is the final location of the movie ?

PS : maybe tou could zip me your YADIS_TEST Folder, so I could try to find out what is wrong.

by the way, what is your OS ?

As you experience a long wait between each movie I suppose, I'm pretty sure that it's a matter of
move function trouble.

normally, you have should have these messages :
Processing 'MyMovie'
Drive:\moviefolder\MyMovie.xml successfully created.


Maybe I should add a target folder availability check before running.

Same thing for me, 'movie.name.xml' are created in workspace but not copied to the movies folders. Yadis is installed on my main Hard Drive (C:) and my movies folder is on another internal  hard drive (D:).

Tested V1 16 Jan and now working.

I well understand that you have developed this tool so that Mede8er users have a short term solution for yaDIS xml and this we thank you for as its an excellent tool. Just some observations

1) If you have a list of movies scanned and say one or more was not found in yaDIS and then you run 'yaDIS2mede8er' then it stops at the first movie that was not found and you get an error  'unhandled exception' as attached. If possible you should rather ignore and continue.

2) It would be nice to have a check box so that the users can select specific movies that require to 'Mede8erize' as currently you 'Mede8errize' ALL movies. The problem with this is that Mede8er uses the xml file 'Modified date' attribute for 'Sort by Latest' and processing ALL will effectively render this function as useless.

3) It would make the program a lot more user friendly for basic users if you could add a method to change the workspace path from the 'yaDIS2mede8er' GUI.

Great work ;D

Nice to hear that it works now.
But no need to thank me : Its overall a selfish tool that fits MY requirements.  ;D
that said, if it could fit other people requirements, that's better.

Of course, there will be some improvements : all ideas are welcome.

1. I know about the bug : I agree, I have to avoid this crash.

2. Didn't know that point. I will find something 'mart enough to avoid user to individually check files and send only newer movie. I would leave a Send all' feature as well. I have to see.

3. Of course, I already thought about  a dedicated Tab for  settings.
If anyone know how I can find out how Yadis stores its workspace info, it would be even much better.

Yadis2mede8er 1.0 Beta 3

http://www.multiupload.nl/OEVIO2B7JQ (http://www.multiupload.nl/OEVIO2B7JQ)

change log :

1. New 'Settings' tab
I added new tab 'Settings' in tabpage.
for instance it's only allowing you to change yadis workspace forlder.
if the folder is recognized as a valid yadis folder workspace (i.e. I find folders.xml file inside)
the settings for yadis workspace folder is validated, then the sttings is saved into the configuration file
so user don't have to change it manually.

2. Unprocessed Movie in Yadis:
Until today, these movie causes the application to crash.
I noticed a Status marker in the data.xml. So I only process movie with Status "1".
Status "3" is ignored as it's unprocessed movie status.
So previous crash shouldn't appear because of that.
(I will see what other status stands for, disn't had time to experience last evening)

3. Newer movie sort support
Until today, I was sending all movie xml file without restrictions.
Now the copy to target folder is a bit more clever :
Desptite this, user may still want to send all the movie.xml, without any date check.
For that it may use the 'Send all' checkbox, It's bypassing all verifications described previously.

I hope you will find this new release usefull

Great improvement and just one small issue.

If the 'workspace\data\' has no xml in one or more movie.name folders then 'Yadis2mede8er' crashes. Maybe you can take care if this situation. Short term workaround is to just delete the folder/ folders.

3. Newer movie sort support
Until today, I was sending all movie xml file without restrictions.
Now the copy to target folder is a bit more clever :

    If movie.xml file doesn't exists in target, movie.xml is copied.
    if movie.xml file exists, the applications is checking the last modification date of
    the movie.xml in target and also data.xml in %workspace%/data/movie folder.
    if both date are different, movie.xml is copied.

Desptite this, user may still want to send all the movie.xml, without any date check.
For that it may use the 'Send all' checkbox, It's bypassing all verifications described previously.

In Y2M i added an option to use movie folder date as .xml date.
This way you can update the XML whithout loosing the sort order.
No further checks needed. Maybe you can consider this if it helps

I'm currently working on the profile used in Yadis.
I saw that when you set it as Dune, You're allowed to change the type of case (DVD, Blue Ray, Matroska,...)
That's not allowed by the MEDE8ER profile (why ?)

So I've decided to make a support dor use of the Dune Profile in Yadis.
What I've seen :
- In mede8er format, Yadis creates folder.jpg and about.jpg
- In Dune format, Yadis creates
So the idea is to clean this a bit to match our requirements to only get folder.jpg and about.jpg
I don't remove any file in workspace movie folder  (as it seems help to retrieve yours processing preferences)

Also, I've seen that poster.jpg, the file that becomes folder.jpg is in a much more hi res definition than in the mede8er settings.

We will host your tool with pleasure as we aim to give Mede8er owners a great experience and easy download. ;D

Dune Profile makes a lot of sense as it also opens the Series scraping within Yadis. So I agree with you. Personally I would prefer 'Yadis2mede8er' to write the image files to the movie folders as then you have some control. Currently if you use the Mede8er profile within Yadis is 'auto' writes the images as the scraping is done. This is just just a personal preference of mine as I am used to Y2M that has a 'Copy files to Mede8er button'.

Ok, I have to admit that it is not my first priority as I don't really care for Series.
That said, I'm still curious to know how you manage this, if it supports larger banner and so.
Thanks again for the constant support for med users.

I like the way 'Yadis2mede8er' works with the the Dune profile and the added advantages of the BD case selection BUT you need to be aware of two issues

1) Sometimes the covers aspect ratio is not 100% so you get a small gap top and bottom
2) Folder.jpg actual sizes vary from  +-50k to 3MB and greater and this substantially slows down the Mede8er Jukebox

For the above reasons I suggest to use the Mede8er profile in YADIS

ok thanks for the issue report.
It's hard to get the best of both profiles.

that's why I leave the choice to process Dune profile as a option.

Other than what I already reported its working well and no bugs to report my side. I have tested across network to NAS and all working fine. Well done  ;D ;D

For those wanting to re-do their collection be aware that the 'Sort by Latest' functionality within the Mede8er Jukebox will not function correctly. You can use a free tool Attribute Changer to fix this and you can run it in batch mode (Select the main folder you want to change and right click and select 'Change Attribute' and select 'Modify Date and Time stamp' and only select 'Modified' and enter the year etc. You can select 'Recurse folders' if you want to change all files and folders within the main folder you selected.

I am sure your date selection is working great. I am referring to users who want to re-do their collection that was done on some other program. So the first time they do it ALL the movies will have the same date in the File Attribute. With this tool they can at least change the File Attribute and if they have arranged their collection in Year folders then its real simple to do within minutes.

Hi mede8er1,

I'm thinking about adding an additional "resize picture/jpg encoder" option with Yadis2mede8er.
So this could prevent jukebox slow down.
Do you think this is worth it ?

As far as I tested, I notice a legitimate slowdown in jukebox :
a display of a complete 8x2 page doesn't appear instaneaously, rather more cover after cover.
It doesn't interfer in my use but it's noteworthy.

We now busy with V2 as you probably read and it offers 3 row View in Movie JukeBox and then the effect is even slower. So I would say a big yes ;D if you can do it. Also later if you still have the energy I would love you to add the Auto Generation of the Mede8er.db as some other solutions already do this and I can give you all the required info ;D

Again on behalf of the Mede8er Community I would like to thank you for your amazing work on Yadis2mede8er and this will bring great  pleasure to many who use it.

Hi,

I have a question...

The Dune profile... does it just copy the large folder.jpg from the yaDIS workspace instead of keeping small one created by yaDIS?

If yes, can we have an option to do this without anything else?

What I mean is I already have the XML and about.jpg in 1080p... All I need is to replace the folder.jpg with the large one (1000x1500) if possible please ?

Also to Mede8er1... how big a difference in loading are we talking if I use the large folder.jpg instead of the small one.
I kind of need the large one as it will be used with my HTPC and the small one will not look good... Will the large one effect that much performance?

Thanks

Hi Mede8er1

I need the 1000x1500 size as the Wall I use in XBMC (Showcase) displays them in this resolution, even when going to info of movie.

I would be grateful if you did some testing with this size to see the difference  :)

Its not very workable at that size. I am struggling to understand how any poster could be that size as it would have to be landscape to fit on the screen ( so wrong aspect for any poster) and it would take up 3/4 of the screen. Can you upload a sample and a screenshot of it on your TV when using your HTPC.

If you have an X3D I would not make too many changes just to get 1.0.5 working.  I would make do and wait for V2, and then decide..

Post by: abriffa on January 22, 2013, 06:50:38 PM
@Mede8er1
1000x1500 is portrait not landscape as 1500 is height!
The Wall on XBMC is actually a bit less, but when you go on movie info it takes half the screen almost, and at that point it uses the full resolution.

@jer
Yes, I have a 600X3D... the problem is that my NAS is utilised by more than just my X3D and unfortunately some compromises I have to do...

So it's either slow wall on X3D or VERY pixelated image covers on XMBC....

So you're saying that V2 firmware might improve speed in this case?

Impossible to have 1500 pixel height when the screen size is 1080 pixels height so it must be resized to max 1080 height and I dont think that is the case and the image is probably a lot smaller than that. Can you find a image of the skin on Google and post the link so that we can see what you talking about.

Post by: DarkCinema on January 22, 2013, 07:59:26 PM
Just came across this thread, great program easy and clean!
When would you use the Folderize function?
Just some information about the status tag in Yadis:
1=Processed, 0=Processed and Checked
So normally you would want to generate a XML when the status is “0”

Regarding the Poster sizes, I tend to use posters greater than 3300x5000. Why you may ask..
Well It just looks great on my PC I guess. I get those posters from http://www.movieposterdb.com/ .
1000x1500 size is typical the original size you get when using “themoviedb” for posters. This makes sense if you want to display them on a Full HD screen. Skins for XBMC tend to use a full screen preview  of the poster in the movie information window.

As for the Mede8er it would make sense to scale them down to the actual size that is displayed in the jukebox view. The only issue with this is that I personally don’t like if the folder.jpg is altered to a lower resolution.  The folder.jpg is used by Windows and other scrapers tend to use them to create the database. I would rather sacrifice some disk space, so that the mede8ter looks first for a “x3d.jpg” and if not available the folder.jpg
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Mede8er1 on January 22, 2013, 08:20:36 PM

Can you not name these large posters to some other name and leave folder.jpg for the Mede8er then you can use them as you require and the X3D will only use the folder.jpg that has been correctly re-sized.

It's a tool that I needed.
I wanted to copy my movie files into the place where all my movie folders are.
Then one click on folderize and all folders for new files are then created.
And finally all movie files ends in their folder.

Ready to be processed in yadis.

PS : sorry, I didn't had much time time these days for coding the resize engine into Yadis2mede8er.  :'(
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: DarkCinema on January 22, 2013, 08:47:23 PM
I do this already. The original posters are saved as “original.jpg” just to avoid losing them.

It is not a big deal atm. But just to make a point:
 
The “folder.jpg” is also known system file for Windows and It is generally used by movie scapers to use for movie poster art. When changed to a low resolution those scrapers will select a poor image as the movie poster. But luckily there a lot of good movie scrapers out there that can be changed to use other local sources.
  
Not sure, but I think if a folder.jpg exists, Yadis will use this to build the about.jpg and not scrape a new image.  This will result in a poor quality poster image.

Yes, the basic name is obviously the Yadis folder names found in %yadis_workspace%/Data.
The xml file using this basic name.

For instance there's no reason to name it in another way :
Yadis creates its folder names using the Movie Media folders it finds.
So there's a coherence, the name of the folder as source is the one that appears in Yadis and that is finally created
in target folder.

Is there a way with your program to just copy the folder.jpg without replacing the other 2?

Right now I have the small folder.jpg and running your program they will be replaced with the 1500x1000 folder.jpg from yadis. But I don't want to replace anything else.

Is this possible?

Hi guys, just passing by to give a big congrats to funkycochise for his work and mede8er1 for his support on this project.

Demands for a complete support for meder8er from yadis is something that Fred and I see more and more over the forums, but can't really help a lot as we are both "sand hill" ( ;D) users without any experience on mede8er. I even think that Fred did the original export tool without using a mede8er...

I don't have any coding experience (Fred is the man 100% behind it, I just help through the beta test team and do a bit of templating), but will pass by here once in a while and check if I can help someone having problems with yadis itself (and may be help a bit for other things if I can/have the knowledge). If you have problems for scrapping or other in yadis and I'm not here, you can also come and say hello on the main yadis topic over MPCC.  ;)

Did you contact Fred about this ? If not I will send him the link, may be he will stop by too.  :D

I didn't contact him before starting Yadis2mede8er as it was only intended to be only

but as I said I don't have any coding knowledge and didn't help on yadis outside of beta testing and trying to help people using it. Yadis is 100% Fred's baby, he did every code lines and is the only one to deserve all the kudos ;)

I think that if you want to contact him, the best way would be to send him a PM through is mpcc account (and I'm pretty sure he's reading this  ;D)

But TBH, Fred is doing this on his spare time and lately his real life is taking him a lot of time (unfortunately for us, but fortunately for him  :) ) so yadis 3.0 is moving slowly and contacts are scarce.

In the past before .xml functionality I tried YaDIS like it but .xml was missing.

Today I tried it again, but now have other problem for almost hour and half I'm trying to process three movies just for test tried it many times, but no luck. Every time I get same message that " The database is not responding" and "The title not found in database". I even tried with Dune profile. Every movie is in it own folder named "Title name (YEAR)" .

Can someone help?

Thanks!

Until now, yadis doesn't create xml. But you can use yadis2mede8er to enhance yadis lack for mede8er. See my signature link.
For your movie not recognized, select change name in contextual name.
Try to submit shorter title.
Try star wars instead of starwars, or even star, for example.

Tried everything, but still no luck!

For me it seems like YaDIS is behaving like it can't access to internet, I thinking about it because it take pretty long time to get message about base and title data, but if I disconnect my pc from network I get same message at that moment.

Tried to disable disable firewall, antivirus, activate net framework 3.5, still same thing.
It's very strange because when i I tried it in a past (some older release I believe), it was working fine. But now with same setup, same folder structure, nothing!  :-[

What is the advantage of having the XML file for each movie?

I used YADIS 2.2 before  using yadis2mede8er and it scraped all my movies and the about and fanart displayed fine on my 600X3D jukebox. When I pressed menu on the mede8er and pressed build jukebox it said no information found.which I expected as there was no XML files in the folders

I then used yadis2mede8er and it found all the XML files for my movies and put them in the right folders. When I pressed menu on the mede8er and pressed build jukebox it started to build the jukebox and then it gave me a message saying scan complete and the jukebox was built. Can't remember the wording exactly, but there is no difference to how the jukebox works or is displayed.

So I was wondering what the XML does?

Thanks

It may have been just so much unwanted info in the past..but in the near future it will contain more information essential to  the correct functioning of the Aggregated Jukebox announced by Mede8er1.   It may be a problem to convert a standard jukebox without it.

I don't know thumbgen but I think I can answer.

To generate jukebox views in mede8er, you need 2 images files : about.jpg and folder.jpg.
Both should be present in a folder named by the movie title.
Inside this folder you will also find the movie file itself and a xml file.

To create those image files you can use Yadis or Thumbgen.

Yadis has many setting and theme that should fit any requirement.
The only problem with Yadis is that it doesn't create the xml file, formated to mede8er needs.
That's where Yadis2mede8er enters in the scene, it finalize the xml and the pictures creation process.

I suppose that thumbgen creates also images that can suit mede8er requirements, but I don't know for the xml.

I hope it's more clear.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Lupissimo on January 30, 2013, 06:35:28 PM
Thank you!
Thumbgen does the creation of the folder.jpeg, about.jpg and the xml file within the moviefolder. ( For moving the movie into its own folder I use files2folder ).
I had hoped Yadis would create a folder for mede8er containing the folder.jpeg, about.jpg and the xml file PLUS a dynamic link to the movie so that you have ONE "Jukebox"-Folder containing the aux-data which would be a FAVORIT link on the mede8er. With by now 8000 plus movies spread over different storage locations this would have been a step towards the XBMC behaviour for me.

Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: funkycochise on January 30, 2013, 06:46:33 PM

Depends of what you expect by dynamic link.

You defines all your movie collection in yadis and yadis2mede8er
creates the jukebox structure with the link to files.
The jukebox is then aggregated with all links inside.
If links change, you'll need to run the process of creation again.

Your almost describing  the new Aggregated Jukebox for the x3d.  It will use a link in the jukebox to  access media. It can't be that  dynamic..as the media has to be at the other end. Becuase links are used, the media can be stored across multiple locations.


http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,10218.0.html

This requires the code to use the link, and not the database.  So new code is needed to do it, and this is currently at the alpha stage, and planned for release with V2.  We also need to account for those who only want to add the link, and copy the rest, as you have pointed out.

For some reason some clips do not appear in my jukebox.

For example I have a folder of this name: The Police - Synchronicity Concert (1984) , the xml file is The Police - Synchronicity Concert (1984).xml and the video The Police - Synchronicity Concert (1984).mkv. The folder.jpg and about.jpg are there. When browsing the main folder, I can see the folder there with the correct thumbnail but no text appears in the bottom of the screen.

This is the contents of the xml file:
Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="UTF-8"?>

By the way, is it possible to make Yadis use the IMDB rating?
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Lupissimo on January 31, 2013, 06:05:22 PM
This may be due to the rather restricted character set in the foldername allowed by the mede8er firmware.
It is too bad that those restrictions are nowhere listed even after a request to do so here in this forum. So you have use trial and error to find out.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: funkycochise on January 31, 2013, 07:51:01 PM
Using : in the name of the movie is not a good idea as those chars are reserved by system for share URL.
try to replace  ':' with ',' it should work better.

For the listed restriction, in fact I am also discovering them as time goes by.
Usualy it's more due to thing that are expected.

But that doesn't mean that It will remains like that.
Some things like jukebox are still their early developements, and are improved every day.

I am seriously thinking about moving over to use Yadis as I have some issues with Y2M and it sounds as though the support for Yadis and that it is easy to use means that more and more people are using it now.
However before I take the plunge could someone please advise me as to whether I need to amend/delete/whatever any of the existing Y2M pictures/fanart etc BEFORE I run Yadis, or will Yadis just overwrite the Y2M files?
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on February 01, 2013, 10:26:28 AM
I would do the aggregated test and find out.  Copy a few movie "folders", with everthing thats  there for normal jukebox, into a test parent folder.  Yadis should do it's thing by creating it's scape in it's workspace, the source folder is just that, a source. Then use the latest Yadis2mede8er beta to create an aggregated jukebox. You don't need multiple stores to use it.

As mede8r needs about.jpg and folder.jpg, Im pretty sure that Y2M creates these files, so Yadis2Mede8er wil overwrite them.
It's less obvious for the xml file, depends on how Y2M is naming the file.
Yadis2Mede8er names it like the folder name.
So, Just take a look at your current movie folders.

Else, if you want to clean your library from any previous jukebox file,
launch a MS DOS Console, go to your Movie root folder and run :
del *.jpg /s and del *.xml /s

Ton
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Mr Eric on February 01, 2013, 02:02:38 PM
flags are in \Program Files (x86)\yaDIS\images

naming should be flag_countrycode.png, where country code is based on tmdb coding (I think you can check this in their API documentation, that's a 2 letters code identical to the iso one : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#FR).

You can change flags to anything you want, or just add extra flags to the existing ones.

Alternatively, if you try to do a template, you just need to add new flags into your template's folder. Any addition to the template folder will get used in priority over anything already in \Program Files (x86)\yaDIS\images (consider it as default images), whether it's flags, cases or classification icons.

edit : may be I didn't get it correctly and you were just asking "how can i create flags similar to the ones already in yadis". If so there's only one thing to do : use PS/Gimp and try to replicate the design. Or you can also download this pack http://www.mediafire.com/?9zb2ruc4b4kluyy, then check in /common/countries where you will find 306 different flags, rename it to work with yadis (good luck if you want to do them all) and replace the ones in \yadis\images

Hopefully this is the correct topic to ask for some explanation of the "new" V2 Jukebox datastructure. (If not, please move this reply)
Is it correct to assume the following:

Storage Place of movies:
HD1 (network) containing  movie files (moviename.1.1.mkv, moviename.1.2.avi, etc).
HD2 (network) containing  movie files (moviename.2.1.mkv, moviename.2.2.avi, etc).
HD3 (network) etc

Storage Place of movie infos: Folder moviename.n.n  containing (about.jpeg, folder.jpeg, moviename.n.n.xml, "dynamiclink" (to HDn,moviename..n.n)
eg:
SDCARD or USB (Med600X3) or HD1or HD2 etc.(Network) containing Jukeboxfolder (folder moviename.1.1, folder moviename.1.2 etc , folder moviename.2.1, folder moviename.2.2 etc ...) plus the mede8er.db

If this is correct and the dynamic links can also point to folders on the network containing the moviefiles (old structure)
than the X2 and X3 could be used at the same time and all I need is software to copy the "old" folder moviename except for the movie-file  itsself and create the "dynamic" link and afterwards scan the Jukebox folder to create the mede8er.db. As I already have the software for copying folder( about.jpg, folder.jpg and xml )and scanning all I would need is the format to create the "dynamic"link .

Please comment/correct the above so I can go ahead to complete my software. Thank you!
 


Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on February 01, 2013, 03:22:27 PM
The filelink is not  a separate entitiy, it's an extra line in the normal XML.  The code checks the normal XML for the presence of the filelink, and if it isn't found it uses the .db entry as normal.

Do  you have an X3 to test it with?  If you  do you can get more information  as a beta tester as it is now under test.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Mede8er1 on February 01, 2013, 03:24:20 PM
Lupissimo

You are correct

Aggregated Jukebox needs a new dummy JukeBox with the same Mede8er folder structure ie each movie in its own folder with folder.jpg, about.jpg and movie.name.xml or folder.name.xml inside. The dummy JukeBox does not contain any actual Movies as you have already stated. So a program would need to copy the above mentioned to a centralized Dummy JukeBox and just a a <filelink. field to each xml file.

You would need to respect the original xml 'Modified Date' date in order to keep the 'Sort by Latest Functionality' in the Movie JukeBox. This Dummy JukeBox would also require the normal Mede8er.db in its root.

When you try try to Play the movie the Mede8er firmware X3D V2.0.0 - 24Jan or later will detect that there is no movie in the folder and it will open the movie.name.xml or folder.name.xml and check a new field entry called 'filelink'. This filelink contains information on the connection type and the path that Mede8er needs to use in order to play the movie.

Filelink details
Samba
<filelink>smb://192.168.0.2/Share_Name/Folder/Sub Folder</filelink>
Samba within Login
<filelink>smb://User Name:Password@192.168.40.134/Share_Name/Folder/Sub Folder</filelink>
USB/HDD
<filelink>storage_label://LABEL/Folder/Sub Folder</filelink>
NFS
<filelink>nfs://Host_IP/Path/To/Export:/Sub Folder</filelink>

Location of the Dummy JukeBox can be anywhere ie HDD, SD Card,  USB , Samba Share , NFS share. It is not specified in the Mede8er and the user would use it as a normal Movie JukeBox. Navigate to it and 'Add to Favourites'

You aggregate on a store by store basis. So  you can have the local drive, usb drives, NAS/NFS, NAS/samba all in the one jukebox.  

The only issue is if you host the jukebox on a NAS....that takes up one network protocol. I need to check  that is still  the case.

Don't follow. Each movie has it's own XML already..all that happens is each movies gets it's own link added to  that. So a movie on a NAS gets a NAS link, and a movie on the internal drive gets an internal drive link.  


We would be into  a whole new level of complexity if you said the movie could in one of three places, and to  go  down the list.  Put it down as a feature request. ;)

fact is that series aren't supported by mede8er yet, so it is not supported by yadis2mede8er neither.
That said, it would be smart to process this without issue, so if you can provide your dat.xml, I can check what cause the crash.

You have a option 'Target Folder' in yadis2mede8er so just select both options and you will get Images and xml in both the original source folders and the Aggregated JukeBox folder.

changelog :
- check date for picture files (as it was done for xml), so you only upload what is new.
- new GUI :
New Log Tab to output all the legacy log you were used to have on the main Tab
Main Tab now just displays the modified movies, and shows nothing more than the movie title
- Series are now processed to avoid them  :P, shouldn't crash because of that.
- Code reviews and refactoring. (doesn't interest the audience, but it may cause unexpected behaviour). I hope not.

Great tool, easy, simple and powerfull but yadis seems is no longer updated or no longer supported and harm that no imdb support (ratings, top250 etc...) and language plugins that  yamj have.

Jukebox is now lack functionality when there is no option to have box set/sagas and tv series.

I think Yadis is a tool created by an  enthusiast. His "mistake" is too make a web site so good users think  there is  a "company" behind, not 1 or 2 guys. That just raises the expectations for support etc.

yadis is just made by one man : Fred. No one else. Update to yadis 3.0 is still active, but Fred also has a real life and it's a slow process :)

remember that yadis is made for dune and that Fred just did a quick basic plug in for mede8er, nothing more. And remember also : he did it without even a real mede8er player to test it...

So if you like yadis and really want to thank Fred, there's a small button on the top right of the main window to donate ! (1€ or 1.000.000€ it's up to you to decide  ;D).

But where i wrote that yadis was made by  company  :)  , i know that  one man created it. I just wanted to say that  yadis seems is no longer updated by Fred, he work at yadis 3.0 but we can wait  months for update, and I don't expect/demand support, he has real life . Only wanted to say maybe the better idea will be to focus on jukebox that is updated/supported frequently by many people eg. yamj and have more language plugins to scrape different  nations and for that jukebox crate aggregated  option. Only wanted to say that maybe better idea will be focus on Yamj then Yadis.

BTW.  yadis is a great tool, easy and powerfull imo is better then yamj, only not have imdb ratings, top 250 and language plugins . I'am happy with that there is yadis, yamj etc. for mede8er. Real proplem is that there is no option fot any jukebox that support box set/tv for mede8er. So mede8er when/if will be support for box set/tv for any jukebox ?

My movie list generates perfectly!! Nicely done!

1 thing though, is that if you go back into settings and click Save, a new Movie List tab is added every time you click save. And it seems that once there are more than 1 Movie List tabs, that they don't update anymore.

And a small request if possible (no rush on this though, only if you have time): Could the modified date of the XML be displayed on the movie list as well? Potentially with sorting? (I know. Tall order! Just something to think about)

But 5 stars!!!

In fact they appear in the Log tab. I tought that it wasn't that important for user to see this.
By the way, I was almost convinced to implement the datetime for source data.xml and target xml.
but it is not that easy to have something that doesn't appear strange and nerdZy on movie tab.
So I just let the movie title / original title and year. Maybe I will introduce something in settings
for this feature. But Sorting using this is quite painful, as movie wall doesn't contain the movie complete informations,
only the name and the folder.

I have to test your software too :)

Hi guys,

i´m new at the Mede8er scene and i just bought a new 600X3D.  :D

I installed Yadis 2.2 and did everything they said in the tutorial...so far so good. After that i used Yadis2meder8er based on this tutorial: http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,10081.0.html (http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,10081.0.html)

But, on my tv screen i just see fanart.jpg as background and poster.jpg & preview.jpg as files besides the .iso-file.

What did i wrong ?!?

- Fixed : xml sent whenever it's new or not

All xml files are still being sent to the Mede8er even if they are not for new movies. Yesterday I processed one movie and then used Yadis2mede8er, it sent all xml files. I retried almost immediately and it didn't send any files since they were all sent. Today I processed another movie with Yadis and all xml files were sent again. Maybe it is actually Yadis that is doing something?
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: NoZEM on February 14, 2013, 08:22:55 PM
If you see fanart.jpg, poster.jpg and preview.jpg in your movie-map then probably you configure Yadis2mede8er wrong.
After using Yadis2mede8er there should be about.jpg, folder.jpg, moviename.xml and the movie of course.

Try to practice with a single movie on your hard drive until it works.


Big thanks to funkycochise.

You can check in Log Tab

What is compared is the Last Writen DateTime of data.xml in Yadis movie folder (Workspace/Data/Movie/data.xml)
and movie.xml in the jukebox movie folder.

I have to see if Yadis doesn't touch data.xml of other movie than the one processed.

I recommend you create a folder on your PC, and specify that as the Aggregated Jukebox in yaDIS2Mede8er. When it's complete, copy it across the network to your actual Aggregated Jukebox. It will be much faster :)

smb://192.168.0.2/USB3/MOVIES 1

I recommend you create a folder on your PC, and specify that as the Aggregated Jukebox in yaDIS2Mede8er. When it's complete, copy it across the network to your actual Aggregated Jukebox. It will be much faster :)

I got  MED1000XD3, flashed it to V2 public beta, installed new internal HD WD 2TB and formatted it in Mede8er.
Then put some movies on internal HD and shared some via NFS.
The question is what is 'storage_label' that I need to write for internal HDD for 'dune' path.
When mounted as SMB I see it as "HDD1", in Mede8er as "SYSTEM (HDD:)", when mounted as slave to PC/Mac it shows as "Mede8er".
Actually I tried all of them. I make Aggregated Jukebox, add to favorites and scan: NFS shared movies play BUT that on internal HD does not.
Also I've found a notice that in previous beta of Yadis2mede8er Aggregated Jukebox did not work with internal HD. Have you fixed it ?

SOLVED: storage_label=M8

I'm gonna have to scrap using this tool and the jukebox, repeatedly getting the above posted errors. Sometimes it completes properly, other times it doesnt, no sense to it all.

Ive tried puting the aggregrated jukebox on the pc first then copying it over. Eventually that worked, Then created a shortcut and scanned and now the movies wont open and I just get the hourglass, though they used to open fine

Ive had enough, too buggy for my liking, thanks though

this kind of path sound quite not good supported :

\\X3d\USB3\MOVIES 2\EQUILIBRIUM\folder.jpg

Try to use mapped drive instead.

And also check if you have rights to write in this folder.

Drive connected directly to  the player use Volume Names, not physical device  names.  So you need to  give them Volume  Names using a PC, and use them in the path.

Well I wiped all trace of Yadis and I also checked my Drives for errors by attaching them locally via a nettbook and scanning them. I then ran Y2M again this time with mapped shares and it scanned fine with the exception of 'V For Vendetta' for some strange reason. Had to delete all trace of that movie then re rip it, sorted now though  :)

You can check in Log Tab

What is compared is the Last Writen DateTime of data.xml in Yadis movie folder (Workspace/Data/Movie/data.xml)
and movie.xml in the jukebox movie folder.

I have to see if Yadis doesn't touch data.xml of other movie than the one processed.

Funkycochise
It seems that Yadis rewrites data.xml, or does something to it, when scanning the folder before even selecting what to process. At least the timestamp is updated so Yadis2mede8er cannot know when it has actually been updated.

I have another problem now with my mapped drives. My 3 hard drives are contained within a startech caddy and connected via one usb cable to the mede8er. These are mapped as 3 shares on my PC.

All worked fine yesterday until I rebooted my PC and mede8er today and the mede8er has swapped two of the three USB connections around so two out of 3 shares arent working on my PC and I had to remap two  drives and rescan yadis again. Anyone any ideas around this??
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Mr Eric on February 20, 2013, 10:20:20 PM
Your drives are mapped as letters ? You should add it to yadis through your network browser with unc path, not through drive letters. This should avoid this kind of behavior.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: nm10721 on February 20, 2013, 10:34:33 PM
Thanks for the reply  :)

Here is one of my mapped drives on Windows 8

"\\X3d\usb1\MOVIES 3"

So how do I do it the UNC way then?
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Mr Eric on February 21, 2013, 10:20:57 AM
if you don't go through drive letters, then you are already using UNC path. Just to be sure : when you add a folder in yadis config, you need to browse through "network" instead of "my computer". Is it what you are alredy doing ? If yes, then the name should always be the same.

For attached drives, correct dune path would be storage_label://usb1/Movies3. I don't have a mede8er so I'm not sure to know how it works to transform the dune path into a filelink...

usb1 is your drive name ? So if you have 3 in the enclosure each drive is named usb1, usb2, usb3 for example. Correct ?
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on February 21, 2013, 10:58:01 AM
This was an issue we where aware of when  we started. That is why USB drives connected directly to  the player use Volume Names, not device names, in their filelink.  The player will identify the actual physical  device on the fly, so it doesn't matter if a multi-disk USB store mounts drives in differing orders from boot to boot.

Dealing with the issue  beyond that  was a step  too  far for Version 1 of aggregation.

Once you look beyond drive attached to  the player you have to deal with those saying they move usb drives around and want the jukebox to "probe" all networked devices which might have USB drives attached, and ask for the volume names.  We have to start "simple", not that "complex".

You can try out the "Volume Name" approach by connecting the USB store directly to the player..having given each disk a volume name.

Hi all

I'm having a problem after just setting up my new MED600X3D.

I have 3 NAS boxes on my network:

Backups: 192.168.1.82
Movies 1: 192.168.1.110
Movies 2: 192.168.1.113

I've processed my 2 movie folders from the 2 drives in YaDIS. Then when I use Yadis2mede8er to create an aggregated jukebox, only the XML files for one of the movie folders is generated correctly.

<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="UTF-8"?>
<details>
<movie xmlns:xsi="http:--www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http:--www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<title>10 Years</title>
<filelink>smb://192.168.1.82/Volume_1/HD Movies 1/10 Years</filelink>
</movie>
</details>

As you can see, the file link generated points to the backup NAS and not the actual NAS where the movie is located.

Any help?

Thanks

Dene

What does the scrape link look like in the ADD in Yadis?  If you scraped the backup, then  thats'  the path that will be used. If you don't want to re-scrape you  will have to Edit the Add and manually change Dunepath in Yadis and update the workspace.

I've never scraped the network drive (Y), only the X: and Z: drives which contain the media. It's almost like it's mistakenly labelling X as Y.

Sorry to sound so confusing.

filelink is derived from dunepath by Yadistomede8er. So if filelink is wrong then so is dunepath in the Yadis workspace..and dunepath for a  nas includes the IP of the NAS.  That's why you have to back to Yadis and look at your list of Adds and what dunepath is stored for them.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Deno on March 01, 2013, 04:27:36 PM
OK, I deleted YaDIS and started again.

I added 2 sources:

X: movies 1 - 192.168.1.110
Z: movies 2 - 192.168.1.113

And scapred them.

I used yaDIS2mede8er to mede8erize them.

Now on filelink ALL the movies from both drives point to 192.168.1.113

Even movies that are on the other NAS.

I am really confused as to why this is happening.

Post by: jer1956 on March 01, 2013, 04:37:00 PM
Find a movie folder in the Yadis workspace data folder that has the wrong filelink. There should be a file called data.xml.  In that folder there should be a line saying dunepath.  Is that also wrong?
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Deno on March 01, 2013, 04:57:49 PM
Yes, it's incorrect:

<dunepath>smb://192.168.1.113/Volume_1/HD Movies 1</dunepath>

That movie is actually on 192.168.1.110

In yadis config, did you use drive letters when you added your folders ? It's always recommended to add folder to scan using unc path (through the "network" part of the explorer, not "my computer").

Can you post a screenshot of yadis folder config window ?

this problem has raised its head again. It was all working great last night. I add the shares by browsing the Network icon in my computer on my pc however whenever I turn off the Mede8er off its randomly changes the drives around so I have the laborious task of adding the shares again and rescanning. I really don't want to have to get a popcorn hour a400 however the jukeboxes are so much hassle, i spend more time fixing them than watching movies   :'(

Here are my shares:

smb://192.168.0.7/usb3/MOVIES 1

smb://192.168.0.7/USB2/MOVIES 2

smb://192.168.0.7/USB1/MOVIES 3

Is there a foolproof way to stop this happening. I cant be the only one attaching a usb enclosure with 3 drives and adding multiple shares  ??? ???

nm10721 ... Read this post:-

USB id's are allocated in the order they are "requested", so if you USB store doesn't power up  drives in a fixed sequence, but allows them  to power up randomly, then  the USB id's will change.

Yes..but this is only for drives attached to the player. Dealing with USB drives changing ID's when attached to a NAS is not supported at such  an early stage in the development of aggregation.   It's the NAS giving them new ID's, not the X3D.

From reading you post it seems you have 3 USB drives connected to your Mede8er.  Why are you using SMB links for this??
I suggest you use the local path that includes the drive 'NAME' and that will fix this problem.

Here is the basic guide for Mede8er Aggregated JukeBox
http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,10217.0.html (http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,10217.0.html)

Your Filelink should rather be local and look like his

USB/HDD
<filelink>storage_label://LABEL/Folder/Sub Folder</filelink>

Mede8er1

Post by: nm10721 on March 03, 2013, 08:19:15 PM
thanks for all the help I really appreciate it.

The reason I do it this way is so I can update the jukebox over the network. Otherwise if I used local links then surely  I would have to take my hard drive through to the other room (where my pc containing Yadis software is) connect thepower plug to the wall and usb to my pc just to update every time I add a movie, not very convenient, or am I missing something here
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on March 03, 2013, 08:21:46 PM
Yes..you are missing a lot.  The filelink is only used by the aggregated jukebox player, so it only needs reflect where the drives are used with the jukebox.  It's isn't global, overriding how the drive are seen via Samba, or slave mode.  


So  you  can scrape with the drives attached to  the YADIS Pc, as long as dunepath, not the scrape path, is local to  the player using Volume names.  That is why they are separate fields, so  that you  can  manually change dunepath to  reflect where the storage will end up.

It's discussed after the red line in this guide:-

<filelink>storage_label://LABEL/Folder/Sub Folder</filelink>

then surely I have to connect my 3 disk caddy directly to my pc via usb to scan folders in the first place is this correct yes or no??

Im sorry If im testing your patience!!
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on March 03, 2013, 08:43:42 PM
No.....you can scrape with the drive attached to  the player or temporally move them to the Yadis PC. In either case the dunepath cannot  be the path Yadis finds and uses for scraping, and allocates to dunepath. You have to manually change the dunepath to  the "Drive Name" version, leaving the scrape path as it is.

Yeah it is.

i didnt realise if you change yadis from basic mode to advanced mode then the 'folder tab' in settings gives you the option to chose a local drive path. This isnt available under the basic setting. I was just browsing through the network to my movie folders previously.

Can we use the "Saga" option from yadis for mede8er jukebox? It would be cool to be able to display on the mede8er jukebox wall a "boxset img" and when we click on it,  all the movies from a serie like harry potter, Star Wars, LOTR ...

yes you can do it in yadis, it's called "saga". Just right click on a movie in the left panel, then "sagas", type in the saga name in the empty field (Star Wars for example), done. Now the "Star Wars" saga will be saved and you can add all SW movies to it doing the same thing (right click/saga/drop down list and chose "Star Wars").

On the movie wall you will just have 1 entry which will be Star Wars, then clicking on it will land on a new menu with all SW movies inside this "saga" screen, then clicking on a movie will land in the movie backdrop.

You can chose cover for the saga (wall display) and fanart (inside saga screen) using "edit" in the saga drop down menu. Just click on pictures to cycle through it an chose the one you want. You can also chose the listing order (top = left, bottom = right) by clicking on a title and move it up or down. You can also set here the sort title (which can be different from the normal title)

Your choice is unfortunately limited to the covers and fanart you chosed for the individual titles (this should be updated in yadis 3.0 where you will be able to use completely different pictures).

That's for dune, for mede8er I don't know if it will work and what would be the result.

An exemple of what yadis Saga looks like and how it is displayed (in a Dune media player I suppose):

Thought I'd sorted it however despite the aggregated 3 row jukebox displaying correctly,  now the movies wont start directly from the jukebox with the 'Mede8er hourglass' just hanging momentarily.

As advised I connected my 3 disk caddy directly to the Yadis PC to get the volume names. I got the volume names by right clicking on the hard drive on my pc and from the general tab, namely:

Drive 1

Drive 2

Drive 3

I then created the links as follows (below).

1.

Folder:

ok,

if your HDDs are named Drive 1/Drive 2/Drive 3 as seen in the "name" field (small HDD icon)  you can see when right cliking the drives and doing properties/general tab on your PC. Then your dune paths should be

storage_label://Drive 1/MOVIES 1
storage_label://Drive 2/MOVIES 2
storage_label://Drive 3/MOVIES 3

The problem comes from your folders and the mede8er changing the USBx name when strating up. When doing so yadis thinks that the folder is new because it can't find the correct movies assigned at first, so it's a big mess. As long as the mede8er is unable to keep definitively the same USB naming, or enable to display the actual drive name instead of USBx when you browse through the network with your computer, there won't be any solution to correct this.

Does not make sense as we use the USB DRIVE NAME in the path. You stated these Drives are arranged JBOD  but I dont think so as it seems the Mede8er is seeing 3 partitions ie 3 independent drives.  The way I see it is your casing has a built in USB HUB and the mede8er is seeing 3 independent drives.

1) Did you give each of these drives different LABEL  'NAME' ?
2) Each drive will have a Favlink_USB in the root - you can drag these into notepad and read the node <Label>G</Label>

the problem doesn't seems to be the drive name for the dune path, but the fact that the UNC path used by yadis to scan folders/drives is changing when the unit restarts.

I don't understand as well why the UNC path to one drive is \\X3d\USB3\MOVIES 2, while it should be something like \\X3d\Drive 3\MOVIES 2 (\\X3d\Drivename\path). the fact that this enclosure includes a USB hub shouldn't have any impact (anyway all multiple bay enclosures are working like this). Is it normal ?

Mr Eric

You are correct and we will change the USB1 etc to the drive name in the next release and this should help resolve this issue for users who use the netwrk path. But this may not be the full story in the case of  nm10721 as he already used the local path for USB and had the same issue and that is why I think the USB Partitions do not have a name and the enclosure is assigning random names itself

I think there are two issues here.  Not only is he aggregating, but he is also using Favourite links to a jukebox stored on one of the USB drives. Drive Name sorts out aggragation only, not Favourite links using explicit reference to USB device ID's.   So it's his favourite links which  are failing. If he uses Media Library to find the USB drive with his aggregated jukebox on, he will find it still works.

He needs to put his jukebox on a flash card (not usb stick, that  would just make things worse) , and create a favourite link to  that.

We could of course adopt the aggregation fix for USB favourites.

well, reading this :

Quote
As advised I connected my 3 disk caddy directly to the Yadis PC to get the volume names. I got the volume names by right clicking on the hard drive on my pc and from the general tab, namely:

Drive 1

Drive 2

Drive 3

it seems that his drives are correctly named. Also using local path (network drive letters mapped) wouldn't help if the unit is changing the order for each drive at start up. The problem is not the export path (which is correct), but the fact that yadis is losing the directory to scan, so a new scan need to be done at each start up.

A solution would be to scan the drives only when attached to the PC, so the drive letters would always be the same (i guess, but not sure).

Question : is this happening every time the player starts ? If yes, is there only one power management ? On dune you have Stand by and power off modes. May be if it's the same on a mede8er, stand by needs to be used instead of a full power off that resets the drive order ?

We can't assume the contents are wrong until he tests using his jukebox via Media library.   He will have to accept that Media Library will randomly show his Volumes as using different USB ID's.   The only thing Drive Name fixes down are file links in an aggregated jukebox.   He needs to host that on something unaffected by his drives changing ID's.   That could mean turning on the NAS, using "workgroup"  "X3D", and creating a "local" Favourite via the NAS, not Media library USB.

Hello everyone and sorry for making a fuss  ;D I think Eric is right as I've used yadis for over 2 Years with the startech  enclosure linked below  connected to my dune bd prime and the drives don't get remapped by the dune after a cold reboot as the mede8er appears to do. A beta release as suggested may sort this so that would be awesome. On the dune, mede8er, popcorn hour etc the Startech  caddy shows up as separate drives on all 3 players.

Edit: Mr Eric, yeah it pretty much happens on every start up of the mede8er, from cold I think though could test from standby as well

Post by: jer1956 on March 06, 2013, 06:04:38 PM
I think your mixing up two things here.  Drive Name does not stop drives appearing with different USB id's. No firmware is going to  fix that.  That is why we use Drive Name for USB drive File links..this problem was predicted based on past experience.

You need to go into medialibrary and find the USB drive which has the jukebox on it and use search. See if the jukebox works once you have found it.    If it works then there is no point looking at how the jukebox was created as the problem, because it's working.


Linking to it via favourites is a different issue...

or


when trying to update it the Yadis Workspace Scrape Paths refers to  differing USB ID's from today?

Today fix creates Samba scrape paths which don't mention USB ID's. So  once you create a workspace with todays X3D samba server your workspace scrape paths will remain unchanged from day to  day.

Others should take note of this.   If you move a muti-drive USB store to  the PC and create a workspace, scrape paths (not dunepaths) may continue to change every time you move the enclose back to  the PC.




That doesn't mean your aggregated jukebox won't move around as long as you store it on one of the USB drives.

 
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: nm10721 on March 06, 2013, 06:47:05 PM
Ok to clarify.

-Earlier yesterday all was working fine on Yadis on my PC with all movies ticked 'blue' indicating that the 3 drives could be reached at that time.

-When I got home and turned on my Mede8er at the wall from cold and the usb attached caddy also from cold, THEN turned my pc on and loaded up Yadis,  approximately a third of all movies were found with 'blue ticks' indicating the Network link could be reached and approx 2 thirds had 'orange' ticks against them indicating the other two drives apparently coudnt be reached. On looking network link paths on Yadis setup tab I was quickly able to identify that 2 out of the thre drives had been swapped, i.e the folder link

\\X3d\usb2\MOVIES 1

was changed to

\\X3d\usb1\MOVIES 1

or something like that. Ive now came home from work and again done a cold boot and the drives have conveniently been renamed so Yadis recognises all the links.

So is it a samba problem then??

No it's not a samba problem...but samba is the solution.  Your current scrape paths are made up of SMB links which use USB id's.  Todays server code will change those scrape paths to ones "without" USB id's, if you rebuild your workspace using it.


The problem is your USB enclosure offers drive for mounting in a near random way.  I'm assuming the other recent poster has no such issue with his enclosure.

His dune paths are correct. If the latest release is now using fixed samba names based on drive names and not USB port numbers (changing at each start), then the problem should be solved and yadis won't try to scan what it would consider as new folders just because the USBx in the address changed...

@T-Tanos : using raid 5 gives you in fact only one drive, so the mede8er sees only one drive and no need to manage more than one USB port. I guess that anyone using raid or jbod system won't have this problem. It's only happening when you have multiple individual drives in an enclosure (or used through a USB hub for example).

jer1956 and Mr Eric

I have now applied the firmware and I noticed straight away whilst browsing the X3D via my pc that the identified 'USB' drives are now being identified as 'Drive 1' and 'Drive 2' etc which raised my homes immediately. I reran the jukebox and did a cold boot and it SEEMS that everything is now working perfectly, i.e no swapping of drives,  although my last excitement was shortlived so I'll give it a day of on off cold boots before I declare a victory!

My next consideration had been a NAS so I could run raid or JBOD so hopefully this has saved me cash.

Thanks again you have both been extremely helpful. HOPEFULLY its sorted now! ;D

hi,

I am using yadis + Yadis2mede8er to create the library.
I think there is an error with the ratings in the movie xml produced by the Yadis2mede8er unless I am missing something in a configuration.

For example, the yadis creates the data.xml file for a movie where the rating is 8.2
The Yadis2mede8er will create a moviename.xml file where the rating is 820 which causes the med to display incorrectly the rating in the jukebox.

I am using the beta 17.

Is this a fault or I need to configure something somewhere?

Thanx in advance

Hi  funkycochise,
first of all thank you for this tool. Nevertheless, I am quite a newbie regarding scraping for my MED 600X3D and started (like the most of us as I assume) with Y2M. Therefore I created a Folder "Videos" and within this one a folder for each movie.
In the meantime I prefer yaDIS because of its nice interface and reliable search.
I noticed that with the Dune profile yaDIS does not create an about.jpg, isn't it? With the Mede8ter profile it does.
What user options are missing in the latter one respetively what options are more with the Dune profile?

Regarding Yadis for Mede8er I did not get all the functions so far.
Taget folder: Yadis defined => why do I need this since the the structure movie data in a folder with the same name has to be followed for all tools,right?
Aggregate Jukebox => why do I need this option when using yaDIS? I did not get the reason of a Jukebox folder so far when all the data is already in the suitable folders ( I am using V2).

Thanks for your help.

Maybe you, but it's the aim of aggregate jukebox :
- leave movie folder structure only with movie file.
- put all movie information in a separate storage location.
- give end user a single jukebox to rule them all  :D and not care about any location issue.

If it's not your case, forget aggregate stuffs and keep it tethered to you share locations.

Aggregate jukebox is only the matter of leaving all movie ressources in one place
the movie in another place.

So all movies are available from one favorite.
whatever the number of share involved.


Yadis works in its own workspace folder
Yadis2mede8er just creates about.jpg, folder.jpg and %moviename%.xml into %moviename% folder
based on Yadis setting, that's all.

I don't understand what you are misundertanding.

To conclude : If you don't know what to do with an aggregate jukebox, leave it alone.

Try to make the regular jukebox work, you may come to aggregated jukebox after.

Some users have their movies spread over a number of stores, i.e. the internal drive, a NAS, a usb drive etc.   To create a single jukebox from them  you could try and "merge" those seperate jukeboxes to  together as they are, with the eye candy and info  stored with the movies.  The other way of doing it is to create a new central jukebox which only stores the eye candy and info  for everything, leaving the movies spread over the stores.  That process is what we call aggregation, and it is what the new Jukebox+ is doing.. So you can use Yadis in it's normal Mede8er mode, and let jukebox+ aggragate if you want.  Jukebox+ wasn't available when the code to use an aggregated jukebox was added.  Instead users had to use Yadis2mede8er, or the Universal Aggregator.  Some users may prefer to  continue to use those tools, hence why we are not "forcing" users to think only of Jukebox+.

Thank you Jer1956.
So the MED with Firmware V2 always makes use of Jukebox+?
I did not find a function to differentiate between a local Jukebox and a central aggregate Jukebox(+). All I have done so far is creating folders with the name of the movie file, using YADIS which creates thumbnail and wallpaper/fanart then starting yadis2mede8ter which adds the XML to the movie folder. Then starting the favorites on the MED and the icon Jukebox+ and I see the new Film + eyecandy. I have one harddrive in the network and one external diretly conneted to the MED.
Now I have the possibility to create one central Jukebox folder but on which drive? What happens if one drive is not conneted?
And even Yadis adds the JPGs directly to the local movie folders and not into a central Jukebox folder??
And what is the Dune wallpaper for when using the prefered Dune profile instead of the Mede8ter profile?
Sorry for being so persistent but it's all new to me.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on March 31, 2013, 04:29:44 PM
No...the standard jukebox is still suported. It has to be understood i.e. supported, in order to aggregate them via Jukebox+.

Jukebox+  is a new tool to  join the other tools that make up the Med. Users are not forced into one way of working..even if that may make the life of the novice easier.   Users can use Jukebox+ if they have the need for it.  

Aggregaters like Jukebox+, or the Universal Jukebox Aggregator, do not scrape.  You  are free to make you own choice as to which scraper has the best balance of eye candy and information accuracy that suits you.   You create  a standard jukebox (scrape and media in the same folder) with the scraper of your choice..and then aggregate them if you have the need to  do  that.

Yadis(dune mode) / Yadis2mede8er creates an  aggregated jukebox without creating a standard Jukebox. 
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Skyliner on March 31, 2013, 09:34:26 PM
Ok, let me summarize:

1.) A (normal) Jukebox is a folder in the favourites presenting movies of a local source in a nice view. In the MED only favourites can me shown in Jukebox view right? This Jukebox is presenting each movie drive/share (that include the movie file, XML, thumbnail and wallpaper itself) in that special way. By the way - is a movie wall autosatrt possible?
2.) Jukebox+ is independent from sources and can contain several Jukeboxes of different sources as explained in Changelog  V2.0.0 - 15March 2013 which is then displayed as special icon.
But how then are aggregated jukeboxes with Yadis(dune mode) / Yadis2mede8er in the MED displayed? Any specific icon which reveals that we have a gathering tool? What is the root folder for it when it is not a standard Jukebox folder and on which drive/share? What happens if one drive is not conneted? And what is the Dune wallpaper for when using the prefered Dune profile instead of the Mede8ter profile?
Thanks a lot again.

When i use Yadis & Yadis2mede8er I only get the following in each folder

background .jpg,    dune_folder.txt   and  icon.aai     

For some reason i don't get the xls files, is there something i am doing wrong

I am trying to use the Jukebox view which is set in the mede8er setup
looks like you use dune profile without yadis2mede8er.

did you look at the log tab and see if any error is displayed ?

I followed the Newbies tutorial and set Yadis to use Dune in Basic Mode

Then used Yadis2mede8er set to use Dune Profie in Yadis

No errors in the log

I even tried copying a folder to my PC & tryig it there but the same, no XLM file

@funkycochise: Would it be possible to add a refresh button? I have sometimes the problem that I add a new video with Yadis while Yadis2mede8er is open. Then I have to close it and reopen it again to have the added video in Tab.

Ok, let me summarize:

1.) A (normal) Jukebox is a folder in the favourites presenting movies of a local source in a nice view. In the MED only favourites can me shown in Jukebox view right? This Jukebox is presenting each movie drive/share (that include the movie file, XML, thumbnail and wallpaper itself) in that special way. By the way - is a movie wall autosatrt possible?


A Standard Jukebox is a scanned folder structure containing movies and scrape together.   It can be triggered in one of two ways.
i) Directly from a Favourite Link if Jukebox View is enabled in Setup
ii) Use the Search button on the remote,  if you use Media Library to  get to  the host folder and see the Search Icon top right.
(that is also  what  you see if you don't have Jukebox View enabled in i) above.)

I have asked if Jukebox+ can be added to  the Default App list. Like all ideas...it will only be released if it works. Then that particular Jukebox could start on boot.

Quote

2.) Jukebox+ is independent from sources and can contain several Jukeboxes of different sources as explained in Changelog  V2.0.0 - 15March 2013 which is then displayed as special icon.
But how then are aggregated jukeboxes with Yadis(dune mode) / Yadis2mede8er in the MED displayed? Any specific icon which reveals that we have a gathering tool? What is the root folder for it when it is not a standard Jukebox folder and on which drive/share? What happens if one drive is not conneted? And what is the Dune wallpaper for when using the prefered Dune profile instead of the Mede8ter profile?
Thanks a lot again.


An aggregated jukebox can be triggered the same way as a standard jukebox  above.  Jukebox+ needs a host folder to put the aggregated scrape into, and that is done by creating a link to  that folder, and then marking it  as the Aggregated Jukebox using the Menu. It is then  given a unique icon.  The name jukebox+ was decided at the end of the dev process, so  the Menu doesn't use that Name. We need to look at that.

So  you can  have a lot of aggregated jukeboxes, created different ways, each with a Favourite link,but only one can be the Jukebox+ and be given that icon.

Is it possible to have a direct link to this version of the file? I tried it and all the links give me pop up adds and advertising with no actual download links? I was hoping that when I select "send all" that the jukebox list would re-generate based on folder creation date so I can sort the entire jukebox in the proper order of newest to oldest instead of just the 3 new ones I put in this week. Thanks!

Up to now it is as follows on my harddrive:
- the video Isos are in a folder "Videos" each in a seperate folder with the movie name as title
-using Yadis with the Dune profile it direcly creates a folder and background jpeg and from time to time this aii-file
- what is this Dune backdrop for which is placed in the superior folder (Videos) when using mede8ter?
- I cannot make out any difference when using mede8ter profile instead of Dune profile except the fact that this Dune backdrop is not created
- the Yadis workspace is from my understanding a root folder like the folder "Jukebox" for Y2M, right? this already includes an XML file in my tests under "data" for each movie ...
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on April 05, 2013, 08:59:16 AM
The Mede8er Profile will create a "standard" Mede8er scrape directly.    


Dune already supports aggregation.  Rather then  re-invent the wheel Med8er chose to "convert" the Yadis workspace for  a Dune player.   So  you  run Yadis in Dune mode..just to create the Yadis Workspace in it's Dune form.   Yadis2mede8er will then convert the Dune format scrape, including the crucial filelink pointers, and put it in a folder of your choice.

continued:
- then starting yadis2mede8ter: yesterday I have added a film and when pushing the first button (with Dune settings) no items were adjusted
- I had to delete the Jukebox+ on the MED and generated a new link from the folder "Videos", only after deleting all files in the movie folders, reusing Yadis and selecting the medearize all tickmark it worked :( This cannot be the normal practice
- what is this tickmark "movie list" for?
- even when selecting the Jukeboxview in settings and having a Jukebox+ in favourites I can switch the views. I thought it is one special Movie Wall view

Thanks for your support

The Mede8er Profile will create a "standard" Mede8er scrape directly.    

That means the Mede8ter profile scrapes directly into the movie folder and does not need a folder "Jukebox" like with Y2M which is there a 2 step thing - First run the scraping and the data is put into "Jukebox" folder and when pushing "Copy to mede8ter" these data is redirected to each fitting folder?
In Yadis we have a similar workspace (which you present as aggregated Jukebox) but some files (JPGS) are put diretly into movie folders, right?

Sorry for my confusion but I still do not understand the total working process and definitions among the tools.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on April 05, 2013, 09:42:19 AM
If you  go  down the route you have described so  far, you will end up aggregating twice.

Jukebox+ should  only be used with Standard Med jukeboxes...that means using Yadis in it's Meder8er mode, and letting Yadistomede8er tidy it up.  You then let Jukebox+ do  the aggregation.

If you use Yadis in it's Dune mode, Yadis2mede8er will create an aggregated jukebox  for you. All it needs is a standard favourite that isn't marked as Jukebox+.

If you don't already have multiple sources requiring aggregation , I would focus on just getting  a standard jukebox working  first.

@skyliner : just be sure that your are not using yadis in "basic mode". see setup/general tab in yadis, uncheck Basic Mode if checked. Unfortunately if you were using it, it should have added a jpg, aai and dune_folder.txt in each of your movie folders and there's no way to remove it automatically (you need to do it manualy).

I don't understand this part: "2. 'Aggregate jukebox' is the new 'dummy jukebox' that  Yadis2Mede8er will create so you need to make a folder and name it whatever you like and it can be on USB, Mede8er HDD, Samba Share, NFS share. Point to this folder"

I have a list of movies stored in \\TOWER\Media\Movies

In the Movies folder, I have a lot of folders of movies name.

To store jukebox in Samba Share I can create a a folder called jukebox? for example:

\\TOWER\Media\Movies\jukebox

is that right?

Other question, how do you save jukebox in USB while USB is already plugged in the media player?

It is probably better if the Jukebox folder is not underneath your movies folder.

You can map a network drive to the USB that is plugged into the Mede8er, although I recommend you plug the USB into your PC as that will be a lot faster.

First of all, thank you for creating this tool and making it available to all of us!

Today is ran my first-time yadis2mede8er conversion and wanted to verify the results.
Using IrfanView to have a look at the folder.jpg, irfanview complained the the file contained PNG formatting with an JPG extension.

Is this supposed to be this way?

Question: how come the xml file generated is in format <DIRECTORY NAME>.XML instead of <FILENAME>.XML? Does it matter if it is the only XML in the directory?

Cheers

it's true that folder.jpg is in fact png resized picture save as png.
I don't remember why it's saved like as png instead of jpg.
Maybe for my ipad development test purpose.
well spotted, I will fix that. .jpg files are supposed to be jpeg and .png png files.

for xml naming, it's also true, but in fact its name doesn't matter for mede8er.
it could be movie.xml in each folder, it would work the same.

what the program is supposed to do is compare the movie folder date inside %yadis_workspace%\data
with the one inside "yadis defined" shared folder or "aggregated jukebox" share folder
depending of the settings.
If the first date is more recent, then the movie is considedered as candidate for update.

As  "yadis defined" and "aggregated jukebox" are separate options, if the first checked makes your movie candidate for update, then the latter isn't checked anymore : It's obviously not necessary. Otherwise check is performed.

What is the 'Yadis Defined' folder?  Is it the folder where the movie file (and metadata) is physically located?  I am not using an aggregated jukebox.

The movie file on my NAS has the timestamp of when it was ripped, 05/05/13 09:40.
The Yadis workspace folder has the timestamp of when I ran Yadis for this film - 05/05/13 11:28
The movie folder and metadata files on my NAS have timestamp 05/05/13 11:28.

This movie is not being picked up by yadis2mede8er.

As intended, yadis defined folders are folders you defined in yadis.
For a movie to be elected for update, movie folder inside workspace\data timestamp needs to be more recent than movie folder timestamp (last write time). Files timestamp aren't checked (quicker).

Hey just got 600X3D, and I'm setting up all this jukebox stuff  :)

Am I correct in believing that for this program to work each of your actual video files has to be in it's own individual folder like this as an example:

H:\Movies\Argo.mkv is INCORRECT
H:\Movies\Argo\Argo.mkv is CORRECT

is that also the case when using an aggregated jukebox where the metadata and "faux" file structure (the one the player sees) are stored elsewhere? I can't get the program to work without each video being in it's own folder.

true, but it's a general behaviour for all kind of jukebox you prepare for X3D, no matter the tool you're using to build it.

aggregated jukebox is a similar to a regular jukebox structure, excepted there are no movie files inside.
when browsing aggregated jukebox, X3D retrieves where the movie isreally located by using filelink tag in its xml.

I understand that, I just don't understand why the folder structures (am I using the correct term?) have to mirror each other when as long as the filelink points to the right file the folder structure where the videos are stored can be anything.

changing the filelink in the xml from

<filelink>smb://jagoss-PC/Movies/Argo</filelink>

to

<filelink>smb://jagoss-PC/Movies/Argo.mkv</filelink>

works just fine.

I only ask about this as I have multiple media players being fed content from a central computer and the other media players all need the video files to be in one folder for the meta data to be displayed correctly.

in fact it's about legacy.

it wasn't made in the way you describe.
aggregated was designed later.

I understand that, I just don't understand why the folder structures (am I using the correct term?) have to mirror each other when as long as the filelink points to the right file the folder structure where the videos are stored can be anything.

changing the filelink in the xml from

<filelink>smb://jagoss-PC/Movies/Argo</filelink>

to

<filelink>smb://jagoss-PC/Movies/Argo.mkv</filelink>

works just fine.

I only ask about this as I have multiple media players being fed content from a central computer and the other media players all need the video files to be in one folder for the meta data to be displayed correctly.



filelink would work as you describe....but all the med scraping tools work assuming a separate folder because that is what  the code expects.  You need something like YadistoMede8er in it's aggregating mode, which  takes the scrape you have in one folder, converts to med aggregated format  with the scrape in seperate folders.  All the filelinks would continue to point at the one folder.  You can't expect Yadis2Mede8er to  do  this.  Post it as a Wanted!, stating what made the current scrape.

As intended, yadis defined folders are folders you defined in yadis.
For a movie to be elected for update, movie folder inside workspace\data timestamp needs to be more recent than movie folder timestamp (last write time). Files timestamp aren't checked (quicker).

From what I have observed, running yaDIS on a new movie causes an update to the timestamp of the yadis defined Movie folder (because new files are added I presume).  So it would seem the yaDIS workspace data folder will have the exact same timestamp as the yadis defined folder, at least to the minute.

I havetolook again at this detection. Sometimes after yadis process, folder timestamp seems to be not updated.
On the opposite, only browsing on a folder may cause timestamp update.

Log :

if target output is yadis defined folder, xml doesn't include filelink tag
if target is aggregated jukebox, xml includes filelink tag

When my yadis searches for all the available movies it only presents:

Batman I-VI (1989-2008)
The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)
Alien Anthology
etc

Because inside each of these folders i have all the movies of each "saga"


And It does not present the individual movies so when i scrappe it only scrapes for the first movie inside each folder which is a pitty given i added all the movies from Batman or LOTR to one folder only.

What am i doing wrong?

I have 3 individual movie files of lord of the rings inside (1) Lord Of The Rings folder (for better organization and less clutter!) but ,Yadis does not show the 3 movies on the list, it only shows the "lord of the rings" as beeing a movie, so i cannot scrape the movies.

Why ?

I need to put 1 folder 1 movie ? :(

Yadis has to be used in a way which is compatible with a Mede8er.  The Mede8er has been adapted to use aggregation in a similar way to a dune..but it doesn't support multiple movies in one folder.

Scrapers only produce "data" that is then processed by the code in the player.  Both have to move forward together..as they  did with Aggregation.

that's the way yadis is working : 1 movie per folder. In the dune environnement it's not a problem as you can use saga to create virtual boxsets. But unfortunately this is not supported on mede8er and you will end up with each movie separately.

If Yadis can create a workspace from a single folder  in dune mode..it still  should be  possible to  create a med type aggregated jukebox from it.    The issue is the scrape ends up in separate folders..and all  the seperate filelinks point to the one folder.   Funckycochise will have to  do  some tweaks to achieve this. How much he is willing to  do this may depend on how much  the effort will be appreciated. 

Now if Yadis can't create such  a workspace...then  your problem isn't just limited to  the MED..but also  to a tool designed for the Dune and Dune users. In which case  there must be a lot of happy dune users also using multiple folders.

saga are created in workspace/interface/00/98 but it's only a saga backdrop and a dune_folder.txt with links to the individual movies. All it does is to create an extra menu layer where the individual covers will be displayed in this saga mode. I don't know if this could be easily adapted to Med, or even if it's possible.

if you want to see the final result you can use this software : http://www.mpcclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27797&highlight=duneedit

just use a dummy yadis database (a few files just to add it to a saga, just put anything in the yadis dune path config as you don't care if it's working or not), export like if you were a dune user and point to the export folder with duneedit. this will run a virtual dune environement on your PC so you can see how it's working.

I'm more interested if the source of a saga is a single folder with multiple movies?  The poster instigating this line of enquiry  is making claims that dune supports multiple movies in one folder..and that a jukebox can scraped from it.  I have no interest in Saga in it's own  right...only as a "possible"  solution to  scraping multiple movies in one folder.

per se yadis doesn't need to have the 1 movie = 1 folder organization (except of course for BDVM or Video_TS structures). You could have all your movies in one big folder, it will work in the same way. But this is for dune usage and i guess that for mede8er you need 1 movie = 1 folder as you add extra files to this folder (correct ?).

In the other hand yadis is unable to scrape from sub-sub-folders, which is the case the user is in fact describing. So :

/movies
         movie1.avi
         movie2.mkv
         /movie3 (bdvm folder structure)
         movie4.mp4
         .....
Is OK and you can use saga to create a "saga screen" with, for example, movie 1/2/3 inside

/movies
       /movie1
             movie1.avi
       /movie2
             movie2.mkv
      /movie3
             (BDVM structure)
      movie4.mp4
      ......
is also OK : you can mix both 1 movie = one folder with simple files or just have folders only if you want.

/movies
        /movie trilogie
               /movie1
                    movie1.avi
              /movie2
                    movies2.mkv
              /movie3
                    (BDVM structure)
         /movie 4
              movie4.mp4
         ......

Is not working. "movie trilogy" won't be scrapped at all as yadis isn't going to look inside the sub-sub folders /movie1-2-3, so all it will see is an empty /movietrilogie folder. movie4 will be scraped as usual.

not really, thank the aggregated jukebox.
This option rely on <filelink> tag that is embedded into the movie xml, so wherever the movie file is,
mede8er will play it using this link.

Of course, aggregated remains 1 folder = 1 movie.

If you  go  down the route you have described so  far, you will end up aggregating twice.

Jukebox+ should  only be used with Standard Med jukeboxes...that means using Yadis in it's Meder8er mode, and letting Yadistomede8er tidy it up.  You then let Jukebox+ do  the aggregation.

If you use Yadis in it's Dune mode, Yadis2mede8er will create an aggregated jukebox  for you. All it needs is a standard favourite that isn't marked as Jukebox+.

If you don't already have multiple sources requiring aggregation , I would focus on just getting  a standard jukebox working  first.

Where is the Yadis2mede8er creating an aggregated jukebox then? On my HDD I find a folder called "data" where I can only find the scraped pictures of my movies on the network harddrive not of the one directly connected to the MED.
Does that mean when using Dune-Mode in Yadis that only exterior film data is aggregated locally?
The tools are working good so far but an updated tutorial with new functions and working process of both tools would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Funky,
I just loaded your latest release. Fine work, thank you. I am aware what an aggregated jukebox is doing so far and I am also using it.
But I did not get all functionalities so far. I am using yaDIS 2.2 with Dune profile and left the basic mode blank.
What is the path "target for Dune interface" for? What is the automatic adding of new films for? Only for Dune players? How does that work? Why is the basic mode and the Dune profile preferred? What options are additional in contrast to the implemented MED profile?

Now regarding the Jukebox function. When having the yadIS-workspace path I assume that all data is sraped into this - each movie in a seperate folder. That's clear. Now in yaDIS2Mede8ter the tickmark "use Yadis profile" & "target folder yaDIS defined" are selected. What does this trigger and what would be different when not selected?
I left the "Aggregated jukebox" function blank and created a Jukebox+ on the MED. It then created a folder called "data" without me having named it that way. Where does the player get this information from?What would be different when selecting "aggregated jukebox" in yadis2MED? Sorry - many questions but I want to get it :)

By the way - when I deleted a data folder in the yaDIS workspace (only scraping data) I just lost the movie file on my harddrive. Is this possible?

Hi, Skyliner,

if you delete the data folder in workspace, then all yours scraping information are gone, and your movie too.
yadis doesn't seem to have a central database and only manage them as an individual folder for each movie in data.
if you remove one folder, then you loose the movie associated.

edit :

I am aware what an aggregated jukebox is doing so far and I am also using it.
But I did not get all functionalities so far. I am using yaDIS 2.2 with Dune profile and left the basic mode blank.
I don't want to write wrong affirmations, I don't remember what's difference when basic is checked or not. Something about the movie wall generation, I guess.

and now the waterfall of questions :

Quote
What is the path "target for Dune interface" for?
Don't know exactly, I suppose it's the location of the jukebox share folder where Yadis outputs its work for Dune Devices

Quote
What is the automatic adding of new films for? Only for Dune players? How does that work?
Automatic adding ? You mean In Yadis ? don't know about this. If in Yadis, then mede8er isn't concerned.

If you mean in Yadis2mede8er, then there's a new option in Settings Tab, that will update your Mede8er.db File.

This file is built when you create a new Favorite, after scanning the folder.
If you browse on the location of your favorite, you'll see it. That's the databse used by MED to build the cover wall.
So If a new movie is added in your 'Movie' favorite folder, therefore you'll will need either to do a scan of folder to update
mede8er.db or use this new feature in Yadis2mede8er that will add the movie in Mede8er.db for you.
Of course, Mede8er.db should exists in order to be updated.

So final workflow is quite easy :
1 - I copy the movie file in the Movie share folder where all movie folders ar elocated
2 - I "Folderize" : a new movie folder is created  and the movie file is moved inside
3 - I scrape the movie in Yadis.
4 - I "Mede8erize", the new movie is detected for update, then movie.xml, folder.jpg and about.jpg are created in the folder
create in step 2
After that,  Mede8er.db is also updated.

When I open the favorite in the Mede8er interface on the TV, my new movie is directly there.

Quote
Why is the basic mode and the Dune profile preferred?
What options are additional in contrast to the implemented MED profile?
Native mede8er profile is Yadis is pretty simple :
it generates folder.jpg and about.jpg.
But you're stuck in a very simple layout design.

Main purpose for supporting Dune profile, was because I notice that I could change the case design,
allowing to change between BlueRay, matroska, DVD, Div-X case.
In one word : more advanced design possibilities.

Quote
Now regarding the Jukebox function. When having the yadIS-workspace path I assume that all data is sraped into this -
each movie in a seperate folder. That's clear.
Yadis workspace, especially data subfolder  is where Yadis stores all its data. It's not a temporary folder.
It's used as flat database with a folder for each movie.

Quote
Now in yaDIS2Mede8ter the tickmark "use Yadis profile" & "target folder yaDIS defined" are selected. What does this trigger and what would be different when not selected?
"Yadis defined folder" that Yadis2mede8er should use the path specified in Yadis. It's basically the locations where your movies are located.
As a companion, Yadis2mede8er gets the settings of Yadis avoiding to set it again.
So Yadis2mede8er knows where it has to output its files.
Check box is there to choose where Yadis2mede8er must output its files : there are two output choices :
- Yadis defined (as previously explained, acting like Mede8er profile but with Dune profile enhancements)
- Aggregated Jukebox (I won't go in explications about it here)
 
These are not exclusive choice selection : you check the option that fits where you files to be generated.
If nothing's selected, guess what : nothing happens.  8)

Quote
I left the "Aggregated jukebox" function blank and created a Jukebox+ on the MED.
if you use the embedded Mede8er Jukebox+, that's the way you should do it :  let the mede8er manage the aggregated jukebox for you, and therefore remove "aggregated Jukebox" setings in Yadis2mede8er.

Quote
It then created a folder called "data" without me having named it that way. Where does the player get this information from?What would be different when selecting "aggregated jukebox" in yadis2MED? Sorry - many questions but I want to get it :)
[/quote
Sometimes, it's hard to understand what you're talking about.
Talking about "data" folder, you  must talk about Yadis itself.
As I explained previously, it's the way Yadis Stores its movie "database". You can't change it, that's why workspace should stay in the application installation folder.

I hope I answered all you're question and sorry for not being more precise on Yadis related features.

Hi funky, thanks a lot for your explanations and most of the topics are clear now.
Regarding the folder "data" on my hard disc was created automatically when MED created Jukebox+ for me and I thought I can choose a folder on my own and name it what I like. Now it seems that he takes the subfolder from yaDIS workspace.
And there are only the files from the network harddrive gathered, not those of the directly connected HDD via USB (?)
Do you know what I mean? Moreover, is it possible to change the icon of Jukebox+?
Thanks once more.

Post by: jer1956 on May 30, 2013, 08:39:45 AM
You picked the parent folder with a name of your chosing for Jukebox+ and asked the system  to  create the contents. Why is it important that it creates a child folder called data during that process?  Most people will never know it exists as they will access it via the favourites icon with Jukebox view on.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er

The way I do it is as follows:

2.) Then I have 2 favourites because if 2 sources.
3.) the favourite referring to HDD connected by USB was then chosen to be aggregated
4.) then I see a folder on this drive called "data" where I only find the data from network drive...does taht mean the simple favourite of one drive is simply added by data from another drive?
5.) what is the "Jukebox" for which is created additionally on HDD?

just a few clarification about yadis...

I am using yaDIS 2.2 with Dune profile and left the basic mode blank.
What is the path "target for Dune interface" for?
that's where yadis outputs the database for dune players. It's of no use for mede8er.


What is the automatic adding of new films for? Only for Dune players? How does that work?
if you are speaking about yadis option just under the workspace path that's only for dune players. It's a small option that give the user the possibility to add any new movie added to a special category.


Why is the basic mode and the Dune profile preferred? What options are additional in contrast to the implemented MED profile?

basic mode is the equivalent of the mede8er profile but for dune. this just outputs a fanart + a dune_folder.txt (dune internal file system) and is made only for direct folder browsing. Dune mode as more options as funkycochise said (but I think that the workspace is similar in both modes).


By the way - when I deleted a data folder in the yaDIS workspace (only scraping data) I just lost the movie file on my harddrive. Is this possible?
if you delete a folder in the workspace it just removes it from yadis, your original movie file is completely untouched. there's no link between the workspace and the actual movie files/folders. So if your file was deleted it's coming from somewhere else.

Yadis creates something called the "workspace". It's sits there permenatly with the working copy of the scrape.  So  that  creates one data folder where you said it should be put via the Yadis setup.
Aggregation creates a new type of jukebox separate from where the movies are stored. the internal aggregater, Jukebox+,  also  creates a folder called data in the folder you specified for Jukebox+.
The 2 data folders are not identical.

Jer1956, you are indeed a hero member...thanks :)
So I have no influence how the folder is called when all is working fine?
Does this imply that this Jukebox+ folder only adds scraping files from movies somewhere else which means not the once included in that based favourite folder? Hopefully you know what I mean. The Jukebox+ was first of all a favourite link to my directly connected HDD. Then it was chosen to be aggregated Jukebox and in the data-folder the files from that drive are bot included but only from the network drive.
What about the additional folder called "Jukebox" where I can find a file called "view"?
Is the Jukebox+ symbol now adjustable? Thanks again.

Post by: jer1956 on May 30, 2013, 10:28:35 AM
You don't set a "source" jukebox folder as the jukebox+ host.    It's meant to be separate in it's own folder. Use "Reset Jukebox+", create a new host folder using  edit in Media library and use the "add to jukebox" option for all the separate jukeboxes, including the one on the hard drive.


  
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Skyliner on May 30, 2013, 11:53:47 AM
Now I probably got it :) Since I always selected one favourite jukebox as Jukebox+ the data folder was created always in this one.
And added only the files from network HDD drive becuase on superior level the USB drive files were already aggregated.

my folder structure:
USB Drive => Video - movielfolder - ISO
Network Drive => Video - folder for each movie - ISO/MKV etc.

Post by: jer1956 on May 30, 2013, 12:50:03 PM
Making an already existing standard jukebox the jukebox+ folder "doesn't" add the contents to jukebox+, even if you see them.   It has to  be a separate folder, and ALL standard jukeboxes are added via the "add to jukebox" command.

Now I did it that way and all movie data from both sources is gathered.
Why does yaDIS create a folder "data" under the workspace path and list it as a movie??
Then yaDIS is now losing the film I have akready sraped - what is the source yaDIS look at when prensenting the flag "missing", "not checked"...? I thought it is the workspace and not the HDD which is probably not connected at the moment.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Mr Eric on May 30, 2013, 09:40:40 PM
If one of your hdd monitored by yadis is not connected then it will be flagged orange (not available/missing share). But even though all data is saved in the workspace. The flags only indicates if your files are visible/not visible/need to be scraped (because new or removed)/are ok.

My advice : stop thinking about the workspace, it's only for internal functions and you should NEVER mess with it.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er

should fix Mede8er.db finding error and previously raised error.


Try to avoid "send all" option in this release as it is supposed to be fixed now.
Once a movie is updated in Yadis, then it should be detected by Yadis2mede8er election detection process.

Hey funkycochise,

Are you sure this is a Yadis problem?  Did you run the current jukebox first on returning form holiday, or did you jump into upgrading your jukebox without trying it?

How much of your network was turned off during the holiday?  If you left the router on you might find power cycling it will fix many issues.

This means that your network is working.

Just to verify:

Check the <movie>.xml, in the movie directory, If the following line is still correct:
<filelink>nfs://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:/volume1/MultiMedia/Movies/<movie></filelink>

You also could browse via Network to that move and check if you can run directly from there.

I've been getting a generic GDI+ error sometimes when updating some movies through yaDIS2mede8er. This behavior can sometimes be fixed by navigating to the Settings Tab and saving (without changing anything), but I can't determine why this is the case (sometimes this fix doesn't work).

The system on which yaDIS2mede8er is a Windows 8 x64 PC.

is "folderize" option responsible of this name ?
Yadis always use in data the name of the folder in share, it's never the name of scrapped movie.
Avengers.iso in data looks like you refresh Yadis and that you had Avengers.iso in your share folder
instead of having it in a specific folder :

\sharefolder\Avengers.iso
instead of
\sharefolder\Avengers\Avengers.iso

I know "folderize" treats mkv and avi files but not sure for iso.

Strange thing Dude since I always use yaDIS first and I had the Avengers.iso videofile blank on my shared folder ("Videos") without any additional folder for it. Then scraped it with yaDIS and saw that "Avengers.iso" was created in the yaDIS workspace data folder. Then I started y2MED, selected the movie in browser tab and clicked "folderize" first which resulted in a folder "Avengers.iso" with the video file in it. Then trying to medearize which did not match because "Avengers.iso" and "Avengers" are obviously different names. I think that y2MED compares the metadata with the foldername and not videofilename with foldername.

Yes, all you describe is a correct behaviour, excapt that it's not the way intended to be.
I create yadis2mede8er to perate in that order :
1 - Copy your movie in your share (avengers.iso in your case)
2 - press "Folderize" so then avengers folder is created and avengers.iso is then moved into it
3 - Open Yadis and Avengers should appear in the list, allowing regular scrapping.
4 - press "Mede8erize" so xml and jpg are created into avengers folder on your share)

I hope it helps

Yes, all you describe is a correct behaviour, excapt that it's not the way intended to be.
I create yadis2mede8er to perate in that order :
1 - Copy your movie in your share (avengers.iso in your case)
2 - press "Folderize" so then avengers folder is created and avengers.iso is then moved into it
3 - Open Yadis and Avengers should appear in the list, allowing regular scrapping.
4 - press "Mede8erize" so xml and jpg are created into avengers folder on your share)

I hope it helps

Ok, you have to jump back and forth. Good to know and thanks for approval and still for working on that tool.

Yes, Yadis2mede8er is working with the data gathered by yadis.
These data are available in the folder for your movie in the Data folder of the yadis workspace.
When you start yadis2mede8er and browse trough the movie in the Movie tab,
what you see is only based on Yadis data, no matter target folder is good or not.

So even if you have a wrong named folder, like avengers.iso, Yadis2mede8er will show it right as
all data are available in C:\progam FIles\Yadis\Workspace\Data\avengers.iso

What is missing for you is only that you need a specific folder with avenger.iso inside.
else Yadis2mede8er won't know where to copy its file (about.jpg, folder.jpg and avenger.iso.xml)

More clear ?
try to experience my workflow, you'll see it works better.

It's not that big deal but I think we are talking at cross purposes.
When yadis2MED is working with the data based on yadis then no movie should appear when not having scraped the movie before with yadis, isn't it? To make it more clear - when the workspace data folder still does not have any "Avengers.iso" folder, how should yadis2MED folderize one on the source hard disc?

Folderize only use share location from Yadis settings.
If it finds a movie (mkv, iso, avi), then it creates a folder for it and moves the movie file inside.
So, it doesn't need Yadis scrapping for this process.

Thanks for a great program.

I have been having a bit of a problem when doing "Mede8erize" and they forced the program to shut down but i believe that i am past that now.  However even tho i have "update mede8er db" ticked it still does not update it.

I have the following turned-on in settings:
Folder.jpg
About.jpg
Movie.xml
Resize folder.jpg
use dune profile in yadis
update mede8er db
movie tabpage
and under target folder> yadis defined.

i really want this feature to work for me as my moviewall is set up with one folder called "Movies" (that includes subfolders for categories) then i have every category aswell on the moviewall.  so if i update my collection i really dont want to have to scan 20 or so folders each time.


Side note:
one strange error i had today was that the .xml files were not generated in the same folder as the movie, it was generated in the same folder as the folder the movie is kept in and was named the move nime but two times, example Shutter Island was named "Shutter IslandShutter Island.xml"
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: funkycochise on June 20, 2013, 06:32:51 AM
so if I understand well, you have something like :

\\myshare\movies\action\
\\myshare\movies\adventure\
\\myshare\movies\family\
\\myshare\movies\scifi\
\\myshare\movies\romance\
...
and all movie folders below this "genres" level.

Do you have as much shares defined in Yadis that you have on your shared folder ?

It's not something really expected by yadis2mede8er as I tested it only using this kind of architecture :
\\myshare\movies\
\\myshare\jukebox\
\\myshare\animation\
with movie folders inside.

I didn't try it using it with this genres classification.
I believe that it's not the user to do manually such sorting.
You might answer that I did such sorting with animation movies, and you're right,

Could you make a small test removing the genres level and see if you're mede8er.db
is updated.

to make mede8er.db updated, yadis2mede8er expects to find the db file into the
yadis defined shared folder.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: rotas on June 21, 2013, 09:13:01 PM
yes i have same defined in yadis

i did a test wih a folder in the root of the hdd and that did also not update the database

Yadis2mede8er only supports movie type from yadis.

I don't really know about TV shows (as it's not a feature I need), neither If it's supported by latest mede8er firmware.
If it's the case, I will just need some advice how it's handled on mede8er side.

Post by: coolsnarf on July 01, 2013, 08:57:56 PM
I got my mede8er last week, have been reading a lot on this forum and am using yadis2mede8er for my aggregated jukebox.

When I create the files for the jukebox (and scan my jukebox again) it will add the movie to my jukebox (have the jukebox boxes checked). But when I try to play the movie, it just wont start. I think the problem is in the xml link to the movie....


I am using a NAS where I have my movies on and the mede8er connects through its own account.
The first movies I added to my jukebox (via the mede8er itself) work, because in the xml (in the jukebox map) of the move the link is changed containing my mede8er user name and password.
ex. <filelink>smb://192.168.1.108/Movies/movie</filelink> is changed in
<![CDATA[smb://User name:Password@192.168.1.108/movies///movie]]>
that way the mede8er can acces the movie...
I forgot to mention that with yadis2mede8er the xml is not changed and cannot be opened due to restrictions

Ofcourse I can still manually add the movies to the jukebox, but I hoped it could be automated. That way I won't forget to add movies....
Maybe there is something I'm missing? or is there a way to add it to the program?

-edit- I figured out a solution (at least I think  ;D)....for people with the same issue I will explain what I did

In the Yadis\workspace directory there is a file called folder.xml. Apparently this file is used making the xml with the link to the movie in it.
I changed the dunepath in this file from smb://192.168.1.108/Movies/movie to smb://User name:Password@192.168.1.108/video/Films.
This has to be done for every added folder in Yadis, so if you add a folder in the future make sure you change the link in the xml file.
After processing with Yadis and mede8erize with Yadis2Mede8er now I was able to play the movie!

I have the follwing problem issue coming up with a second HDD connected to my 600X3D.
- Jukebox+/aggregated jukebox/movie database is on HDD 1
- I have ripped/scraped one new movie (3D ISO) as usual using yaDIS+Y2M on new HDD 2
=> all files are created as usual in the folder
- having both HDDs connected I am not able to add the new film from HDD 2 to Jukebox+ resulting in the message "0 movies added"

Any idea? Thanks.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on July 12, 2013, 02:07:36 PM
Add to jukebox is for complete jukeboxes.  You would have to create a dummy folder say using date..put the new movie folders into that folder and scan it.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Skyliner on July 12, 2013, 03:22:01 PM
That does not make sense to me since the Jukebox+ function is to gather movie collections from different sources under one GUI/movie wall. It is said here that I can add a normal Video folder as well as a favorite to Jukebox+ but it is still not working with that title on a different HDD :(
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on July 12, 2013, 04:46:48 PM
It gathers movie collections in jukebox form, not folders. Jukebox+ was created for those who already had working standard jukeboxes on multiple devices. Each standard jukebox is added to jukebox+ using the "Add to jukebox" function. Standard Jukeboxes can  be accessed via favourites and media library. The media library option is not for adding folders.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Skyliner on July 12, 2013, 09:57:00 PM
Hi Jer,both options are possible and work with my first external HDD and my Lacie Network storage as well.Otherwise the menu option within the media library would not make sense.So it was checked,the turnaround over favorites for sure as well. No movie added.So I have to find out what is the real trouble with the additional USB drive or the data.I will ckeck it with another ISO. Thanks anyway.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: jer1956 on July 13, 2013, 09:19:59 AM
They worked because you created a jukebox and might not have realised. At no point have you mentioned scanning the new set of fodders to create a jukebox.
Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er
Post by: Skyliner on July 13, 2013, 10:33:08 AM
So once again - I also tried the way over a scanned favorite folder with a second ISO (not 3D) and from there no movie can be added to Jukebox+ either. Does the MED not like two seperate HDDs with regard to aggregation?

Title: Re: Yadis2mede8er

As a newbie to the Mede8er I'm still working out how to set this up, I have moved all my movies into folders, processed them with Yadis, which all went well, but my question is as follows;

My movies are on an external USB HDD, and the Yadis Workspace is on my PC's internal C Drive. After I run the Yadis2Mede8er program and plug the USB HDD into the Mede8er, will the Mede8er still need access to the Yadis Workspace folder? Does that folder need to reside on the USB HDD? I got confused when I read somewhere that the favorites link on the mede8er is created from the Yadis Workspace folder which is not on my USB HDD at the moment (or but maybe I misunderstood that? )

many thanks to anyone that can clear this up for me (please try to make it as simple "for dummies" as you can).

Cheers!  :)

yadis workspace is only for yadis use on your PC. You will never touch it directly and the Med doesn't need it to run its jukebox. Just forget about it and NEVER touch it ;)

FYI : workspace is just the place where yadis maintain all your movies data. this is also where Y2M will take all data to be transformed into something that the Med can read as a jukebox, but the workspace is always kept untouched.

I had tried a Dune Base HD over the past few days but decided to switch back to Mede8er as I prefer it - having used Yadis as the Dune scraper, I cleared all metadata from each movie folder nand have scanned with Yadis and processed with Yadis2Mede8er, but the backgrounds aren't displaying when I go to Favourites and click on them.

They are in the movie folder, along with two files called icon.aai and dune_folder.txt.

Have I messed up with the Dune settings?? Any way to correct this? When i click on Movies in my Favourites, each movie has a background file and the Mkv separately.

I have done the following -

Processed all Movies and TV shows.

All goes ok until I use Yadis2Mede8er - 

It doesnt seem to send the scrape data anywhere? Its able to scrape from the NAS but the data remains on my PC.

Is Y2M supposed to send the metadata to my Med or to teh NAS - I assume the NAS, so if it can read from the NAS, why cant it write to it?

I'd be most grateful for any help :)

Yadis2mede8er seems to not detect any movie for update. This normaly happens when xml and  images are up to date.
Try to force write by checking send all checkbox. Using this will bypass date check that obviously isn't working for you. :/


Edit : didn't see that it was checked.
Anyway on your screenshot, there are no target selected : yadis defined nor aggregated jukebox
Check at least yadis defined and it should work.

so i tried medi8erize all. same problem. it seems to me, that medi8erizing ignores some movies. i don't know why. in the yadis database, all the needed files exists.

i tried already to delete the files in yadis database and processed them for a second time. did not help.

Same issue here, when I update, yadis2mede8er stops saying:
Quote
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files\yaDIS\workspace\data\Mede8er.db' because it is being used by another process.

That is aggregation.  Have you followed a yadis aggregation  guide?

http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,10217.msg64792.html#msg64792

My guess is you missed the point that Yadis  works out default dunepaths relative to itself, not the player.

Having issues with yadis2meder not transferring details over to my jukebox folder.  Everything is there as it should be in Yadis and when I click run on yadis2mede8er it processes everything old and new it's just not transferring anything into the jukebox folder.

Any ideas ? Have lots of new films that just won't show on my jukebox wall although I can browse to them via the media browser on the mede8er and all the artwork is there

I have encountered a problem with Yadis2mede8er where only the files for the movies in my list with a round rating number (e.g. 6, 7, 8 etc) are copied over to my movies folder. All movies with a rating number including decimals seem to give the following error:

" error processing <rating>, value 7,7 doesn't match you local numbering settings : nl-NL, movie skipped "

How can I get this to work, without having to manually copy all the files over to my movies folder?

Title: Yadis2mede8er

Hi,
Perhaps someone could tell me how this works. Currently have DUNE HD products using Yadis. Works great. then purchased a 600x3D. So used Yadis2mede8er. Seemed to work. Now when I open up the movie folder all the fanart shows up. When I used to click on the fanart of the movie in Dune it would then show the synopsis, then click once more and it will play the movie. In Mede8er if I click the fanart it goes and shows the file, then if I click on the file it plays. It doesn't show the synopsis unless I click the info button the the Mede8er remote. Is this the way it works?
Thanks

Hello.
First I have to be sorry for my english.

I scraped all my films with yadis. (super tutorial, thx.)
But there is one thing, I would like to change, but I dont know how.
Is it possible to make a "Blu Ray frame" around the folder.jpg ?
I hope you understand, what I mean?!

I would have the same folder.jpg like the cover of the about.jpg (which I allways made with this frame)

I hope, that someone can help me.

Regards, osw2610

I have encountered a problem with Yadis2mede8er where only the files for the movies in my list with a round rating number (e.g. 6, 7, 8 etc) are copied over to my movies folder. All movies with a rating number including decimals seem to give the following error:

" error processing <rating>, value 7,7 doesn't match you local numbering settings : nl-NL, movie skipped "

How can I get this to work, without having to manually copy all the files over to my movies folder?

Please help me and i'm sorry for write in french... So thanks

For all people who have memory usage problems during scan of films.

Just watch the title of the film processed during the message and then just move it from your collection, you can always process it manually later or even delete it to be sure.
