Yeah, found it in the log...Seemed to be using it.

Using properties file ./moviejukebox.properties

Hi Gregiboy

I see you've found the line confirming the moviejukebox.properties file.
Yes thanks, I have seen the firmware is generating the files for a certification drop down menu, it just can't display them. I'll post any reply from Omertron here, unless he adds a post first.

Can you set up a test jukebox with a couple of movies in and see if you can reproduce your problem? I simply can't make the dropdown menus fail at all on r3032

Andy

Hi Andy....

I'll do that tonight as I'm running out of time here (8 am, off to work). I am currently rerunning a 2.7 Jukebox build with the PlayOn parameter set in the movie-jukebox-default.properties file.

Just a couple of asides:-

Omertron is absolutely correct in his naming convention of the "Certification" data which I have only ever seen tagged in the thousands of scraped NFO's I have produced as "Certification" but he seems to take the data from the MPAA field which I feel is slightly incorrect (and he has to pares it for extraneous rubbish)

Also, I my mind, "Rating" in the NFO files refers to the IMDB rating and I would far prefer that displayed in the "Rating" pulldown rather that the MPAA crap as I think it is more useful to all users.

Regards
Greg

Quick Question???

is mjb.PlayonHD=true case sensitive in any way? Should it be mjb.PlayOnHD=true??

Hi Gregiboy
The wiki isn't clear on case sensitivity, but does give the format as
mjb.PlayOnHD=true
So I would try using it exactly as above
The certifications don't have to be taken from the MPAA if you use internet scraping, which I know you don't. I have YAMJ configured to pull down the UK ratings, which works well. I do agree Omertron's naming convention is correct, and having just seen a reply from him, changing YAMJ is not going to be easy, as the two different categories Rating and Ratings, with almost identical names, were causing all sorts of problems in the code.
The IMDB Ratings can be made to appear as a category in YAMJ with output files generated, but, the default skin doesn't provide access to all categories, and the firmware on the POHD does not read / display the ratings files if generated, as they all start with 'ratings' and not 'rating'.
I will do some more testing this week to see if I can come up with an easy workaround, I've got a few ideas.
Andy

Yes, at the top of the log file there is a line that starts with "properties" or similar, where we print ALL the properties that are in use and their effective values.

AYeah got that. thx

You can change the default rating method from MPAA to something else using the parameters:

you will then need to set a value for the country for YAMJ to get the rating from

http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/w ... onFromMPAA
Changing that value will trigger a change in the NFO scanner to read "Certification" instead of the MPAA field


Indeed, but that is beyond my control, we'll have to wait for ACR to make the change to the firmware.

Hi Gregiboy

Having spent some time experimenting with YAMJ and the Jukebox today, there is no easy way to persuade the Rating menu to work, the only solution being the method I outlined earlier in this topic, which is a pain to use on any jukebox above a few movies in size.
I have sent a detailed mail to the bugtrack mailbox, along with examples of the categories and certification XML files, and copied it to Arne and Mikael.
We're in the hands of AC Ryan on this one, as we need a change to the Jukebox firmware, but at least the problem has now been identified, so thanks for the help.

Andy

Thanks Andy,

The only thing that concerns me is that if they do change the firmware to accomodate YAMJ change, you are gonna end up with a zillion posts in this sub-forum because it will be 'BROKEN" on older firmware.

Also, I am not convinced that the current firmware is not a POS!!!
