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 :

Latest build 1.1 : 28/05/2013

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.

Basic Guide for Beta 13

Basic Guide Mede8er Aggregate JukeBox

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 ?

funkycochise

Great

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.

Great work !

I would like to test that

couto · « **Reply #8 on:** January 14, 2013, 02:13:19 PM »

to test count me in.

Here we are :

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.

That was real quick and we thank you for this. Will start to test in the morning

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.

We tested this again with the same results. Waited a long time and still the xml files were not written to the Movie Folders

Pls check attached screen capture

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.
