Using Yamj on networked Mede8er's?

[leftygt]

Hi

I have 2 x med400's and a med500 (no hdd installed) streaming off a 4 bay nas server. I think its about time to start using the video wall but I am clueless about it - can anybody point me towards a "how to" video or page?

Thanks

Or u can use thumbgen

my guide for series is in this topic: http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,8136.msg52404.html#msg52404


movies works almost the same only difference is u need  the movie sheets found here. http://www.wdtvlive.net/showthread.php?812-Lstar337-s-Split-Sheet-v3.0-Movie-Sheets!

personally i find it easier to use thumbgen over yamj

Thanks for the help guys. Are there any videowall  issues using the same drives for all three mede8ers ?

No, you can use all your mede8ers to point to the same nas and built a video wall on all players for the same content. I use some simular setup.

YAMJ is the same als Yet Another Movie Jukebox

You are mixing up thing.

Explanation:
YamJ-To-Mede8er is a program that uses YamJ to scrape movie info.
YamJ-To-Mede8er is a Gui based program to configure YamJ and that uses YamJ to convert HTML bases interface to the pictures needed for Mede8er to show it in the Mede8er GUI.

eentje, thanks so much for all your trouble!!! I'm a bit confused by the part below

"A good thing is I found a script that does it for u. Al you have to do for it is open notepad copy the text below. And save the files as (folder.bat) and copy that file to the directory you want and run it in."

Do I rename the text file copy.bat and place it in a movie folder i.e. hdd/blurays/action ?

I know...I'm absolutley brutal at this kind of thing!!!!!!

u save the file in notepad and then rename it to a .bat extension.

the script makes a folder with the samen name as the movie file and puts the movie file in it.
it other words if u got a dir structure like this:


hdd/bluerays/action/die hard 1.mkv
hdd/bluerays/action/die hard2.mkv
hdd/bluerays/action/the matrix.mkv

if u put that .bat file in that folder it will create a structure like this

hdd/bluerays/action/die hard 1/ die hard 1.mkv
hdd/bluerays/action/die hard 2/ die hard 2 .mkv
hdd/bluerays/action/ the matrix / the matrix.mkv

i hope this is understandable enough for u

OK, thats a bit clearer - do I name the .bat file the same as the folder I am putting it in? i.e. blurays/action.bat or just copy.bat ?
