 More than one YAMJ

Post Re: More than one YAMJ
How? Do I just create two directories (i.e. Hi and Hers)? When I first installed YAMJ I used my own directory/folder and could not even get it be recognised? Hence why I dumped the lot into movies.

:?

I most probaly use this dirctory structure in your situation:-

Movies>His
Movies>Hers

ie a His and Hers subdirectory under the Movies Directory.

I would recommend the same as Gregiboy, and then you have a choice: -
1 YAMJ index, two libraries, so you can filter to either yours or your wife's movies, or 2 seperate YAMJ indexes
What do you think, we can help you configure either

Yeah Andy, those were exactly my thoughts also.

Post Re: More than one YAMJ
There are pros and cons to both options.
One YAMJ index with two libraries may be a little bit eaiser to configure, but you only get one level of filtering - so If you filter on your library, you cannot then filter your library by letter / year / etc
Filtering by any other category other than library would include results from both yours and your wife's libraries
Setting up two YAMJ indexes involves a little more effort, but you will then only ever see filtered results from one library

Sorry for coming back to you.

I've done this:

Quote:
Movies>His
Movies>Hers

ie a His and Hers subdirectory under the Movies Directory.


which I presume means I have chosen to do this:

Quote:
One YAMJ index with two libraries


:? :D

OK thanks
At this time then I presume you now still have a working Jukebox.
Now change the libraries section of your ACR_Library.xml file to look like this: -
Code:
<libraries>
   <library>
      <path>B:\movie\his</path>
      <playerpath>file://../movie/his</playerpath>
      <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
      <description>His Movies</description>
      <prebuf></prebuf>
      <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
   </library>
   <library>
      <path>B:\movie\hers</path>
      <playerpath>file://../movie/hers</playerpath>
      <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
      <description>Her Movies</description>
      <prebuf></prebuf>
      <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
   </library>
</libraries>

Check I have the directory names correct - from the messages in this topic it's not clear whether you have a 'movie' or 'movies' directory and this needs to be correct in the <path> and <playerpath> statements for both libraries
Put these changes in place, then delete and rebuild a clean new copy of your Jukebox
Let us know how it goes

Andy

If you decide after getting this working and having a look at how it works, yo decide that maybe two separate jukeboxes are necessary, let us know and I can set up an example CMD file to do this automatically.

I most probably would opt for the two separate jukeboxes myself but the choice is yours.

As Andy knows, I have been working on my "Smartarse Automation" module over the past week or so and it is working fine for me. (SO FAR :D :D )
:lol:

Regards
Greg
