Hi, just a quick thank you for YAMJ.

And now an apology if I am asking a question already answered - I have searched but can't seem to find what I need other than a reference to it being possible.

I have YAMJ currently full of the missus's rubbish.

I want a second, seperate, YAMJ for my rubbish.

Is there an idiots guide to making that possible?

Cheers

Hi Leedx7

Did you manage to split your content into two jukeboxes?

Andy

Hi there - sorry my missues gave birth to twins so I've not had two minutes to get back and check this.

Thanks for the link Omertron - sadly it makes little sense to me. however I've not slept in 6 weeks so little does.

I need to read and re-read I think.

Andy - no But just as soon as I can I hope to. It's all the technospeak interweb garb that baffles me.

I see editing things, but I don't know where to edit them. I think I'll re-read this tomorrow as I'm off work and get to grips with this.

I hope.

Thanks for the help and apologies for the slow acknowledgment.

No problem leedx7, hope the twins are doing well. We'll leave the topic open so you can reply when you have time
Andy

I don't follow this.

I can follow the renaming bit (I'm guessing the library.cmd should be .xml in the first bit)

I see the renaming of the shortcut (presumably for when I run YAMJ after adding more stuff)

I have no idea what you mean by runing the GUI thing - what is that? I'll guess the other shortcut that was created when I first ran YAMJ is this?

The posts in response make no sense to me at all.

However, I don't understand what doing any of the above changes. They both scan the same HDD and have the same files (Presumably, I'm just talking theory at the moment)? I want some files in one and other files in the second. I can't see that either YAMJ looks for particular file types, so I must need to create another folder in the Ryan? But where? And what do I call it. And how will YAMJ find it?

Sorry - I am struggling here and being IT-incompetent doesn't help.

Ok then, lets start from the top and I'll happily go through it step by step with you. I'm going to need some information first though, so I can understand your setup: -

• Which AC Ryan player are you using
• Which firmware
• Where are you storing your movie / content files - on a PC / NAS / AC Ryan player?
• Which directory is your stuff in, which directory is your wife's stuff in?
• Have you started by using one of the AC Ryan GUI config downloads and then upgrading YAMJ?
• Which directory on your PC is YAMJ installed into
• From this directory please post the contents of the library XML file (usually called ACR_Library.xml)
• From this directory please post the contents of the moviejukebox.properties file, or tell me if it does not exist
• From this directory please post the contents of the .cmd file used to call YAMJ, (usually called ACR_YAMJ.cmd)

Once I have all the info above I should be able to give you some detailed advice

Andy

I would suggest that the first area that you look at tis the following:-

Get away from running YAMJ from the shortcut and have a look in the directory where YAMJ is installed. You are starting to get more sophisticated in your usage so you will need to invest some time in getting your head around things more.

There will be a CMD file and a LIBRARY file (XML) which you can edit and the YAMJ process is initiated by running the CMD file which calls the library file. (Double clicking the CMD file will do this).

To achieve your purpose, you may use a couple of methods.

One is to have a HIS.CMD and HIS.XML files containing the information for your library and HERS.CMD and HERS.XML file containing her library information and this will create 2 unique jukeboxes.

ANother method is to have multiple LIbraries within the LIBRARY.XML file which then allows you to select which library on the AC Ryan GUI.

Here is one of my examples of such a file:-

<!-- Modified by GregiBoy 06/04/2012 -->
<libraries>
<library>
<path>S:\Television\Television HERS</path>
<playerpath>file://../Television/Television HERS/</playerpath>
<exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
<description>HER Television</description>
<prebuf></prebuf>
</library>
<library>
<path>S:\Television\Television MINE</path>
<playerpath>file://../Television/Television MINE/</playerpath>
<exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
<description>MY Television</description>
<prebuf></prebuf>
</library>
</libraries>

Hope this helps.
GB..

Thanks for the advice and the offer to help, which is gratefully received. I'll try and answer Andy's questions before tinkering myself...

Which AC Ryan player are you using PlayOn HD2
Which firmware No idea. I last updated it before Christmas but was put off using the most recent update as I read that it caused YAMJ issues? Where do I find this info?
Where are you storing your movie / content files - on a PC / NAS / AC Ryan player? AC Ryan
Which directory is your stuff in, which directory is your wife's stuff in? At the moment it's all lumped in the Ryans 'movies' folder
Have you started by using one of the AC Ryan GUI config downloads and then upgrading YAMJ? Erm...no idea what this means.
Which directory on your PC is YAMJ installed into C drive
From this directory please post the contents of the library XML file (usually called ACR_Library.xml)

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- Library file generated by Omertron's GUI Config -->

<!-- YAMJ GUI Config (ACR) v2.0 -->

<!-- http://MediaPlayerSite.com/YAMJ_GUI_Config_ACR -->

<!-- For A.C.Ryan PlayOn MediaPlayers -->
-<libraries> -<library> <path>B:\movie</path> <playerpath>file://../movie/</playerpath> <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/> <description>A.C.Ryan</description> <prebuf/> <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary> </library> </libraries>


From this directory please post the contents of the moviejukebox.properties file, or tell me if it does not exist

It's there but windows says it can't read it?

From this directory please post the contents of the .cmd file used to call YAMJ, (usually called ACR_YAMJ.cmd)

How? There is nothing to post?

I'm starting to feel this may be just too far beyond me if I can't even provide you with the info you need.

If I'm just being too obtuse, or educating me will take much too long, then don't waste your valuable time on me.

I'll just continue searching through piles of shite romcoms to find the occasional movie gem I've hidden away.

For a start, you are not going to get very far with everything lumped in one directory.

I suggest that you consider getting this sorted first.
