I don't have access to the beta version (you have to pay for) but it appears there are some nice changes in the works (hopefully tv shows will be added as the current YANFOE does not support). One issue I came across when using an XBMC scraper like EMM and YANFOE, YANFOE names the nfos/art as the entire file name (so if I have a movie file called "Star Trek 1080p Blu Ray.ts" YANFOE will use the entire name (Star Trek 1080p Blu Ray.nfo, etc...). XBMC only uses t he actual movie name (Star Trek.nfo). Since I use XBMC and then decided to use YANFOE I was left with two files for each movie (The YANFOE created and the XBMC created). This freaks out YAMJ and causes it not to grab the correct art. I either have to delete all my XBMC metadata/art and use YANFOE solely, or keep the XMBC metadata/art (something like Media Info Plus) and scrap YANFOE

No TV Support yet :-( this is coming in 0.2 and right now Russell is trying to close out any bugs in 0.1 before starting 0.2...

Cheers!

Hi All,

I know you have answered this a 1000 times, but no matter what I try I can't get my info page to change or look any better!!!

I'm trying to use the Befa Mod, with no success!!!

Any advice to get this looking better would be a great Xmas gift

thanks gonzalu...still not working for me though. i'll try to do everything from scratch and let you know what comes up. thanks man. Big Grin

Man that's fugly Big Grin

OK, we seriously need to help you and I'd be more than glad to help. As I have asked before, please let me know exactly what you want it to look like... your choices are:

-Original, full screen poster
-LowList

From there, there are a lot of mods you can have, some more complex than others. Choose between:

Nodak's, Beffa's, pmartie's, misticjeff, xXVirusXx, and Grassman (75%), mine (gonzalu), etc.

TECHNICALLY they can be combined but you rather NOT. Pick one and stick to it for starters.

Best bet is to do the plain old skin from scratch as my video shows. It is made using the LowList option with a lot turned on.

Once you have a grasp, you can venture into changing things around!

I'm noticing that nothing is changing when i change prefs - When I use overscan, and replace the settings - nothing seems to change, also the background1 doesn't want to change either. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong that's very simple -

OK Let's begin:

--Using myiHome or not?

--Full path to your YAMJ installation please

--Full path to your movies library

--Do you have NFOs, Posters and fanart locally or not?

--What version of YAMJ and ÆON have you downloaded? Full path to these files (the archives) They should be in a temporary holding area for now.

--Using an NFO manager or not? (YANFOE, EMM, etc.)

--Have you successfully generated a library from any version of YAMJ using [its] default skin?

We'll go from there.

** WARNING **

Divorce yourself from your library. We will be deleting EVERYTHING most likely :-)


RE: [YAMJ] ÆON Movie Wall YAMJ *UPDATE* December 20, 2009 - Clean Up #1 - PhilT - 12-24-2009 03:40 AM

OK -

Library works fine - but am willing to start again to obtain better results. -

I'm not using my ihome -

I run ethernet from my HDX 1000b to my macbook pro that has a 2T usb drive as a shared drive.

Library
[/code]
/volumes/HDX1/movies file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/hdx/movies/

hdx
<scrapeLibrary>true



I've been downloading Movie posters myself and just dragging them to the same folder that the movies are on. I've been also creating my own nfos - not for every movie though (way too many).

I have the latest versions of YAMJ and AEON.

Not using a NFO manager.

The Juke box is on my Macbook - /volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/MovieJukeBox

Hope that being on a mac doesn't throw you.

The library generates and plays fine - just the info page I can't get working -

Once again - thanks for your time,

Phil

OK, so please put back your default skin from YAMJ and generate your jukebox (fresh) please. Post a screenshot of the main page as well as a detail page and then a Genre page (Top 250 would be great)

You should definitely use an NFO manager. I posted a bunch of posts before of a Mac tool for doing this. It is important that you control the posters and info and not allow YAMJ to do so Otherwise you can never tell what's going on.

Bite the Bullet... I did and have over 1500 titles. Others have much more. The sooner you start, the better. Trust me on that one :-)

Finally if all goes south, I will ask you to give myiHome a try just because it automates a lot of things and controls it a lot better and has a common architecture that we can all hopefully agree on. SMB or NFS or any other mechanism is wildly different for many installations. Not that it does not work, but I like to set baselines.

My goal is to get you to have a working Jukebox and then we can strip it or change it from there.

While playing around with new background textures for the wall and category pages, I noticed something that would normally go unnoticed due to the dark background. But use anything light and it clearly shows.

Here is a shot with my new Wall BG and then without one to highlight the issue. I am fixing it here but figured I'd point it out.

I always meant to fix this. A simple fix too, but no one ever brought it up. I'll put it in the next cleanup.


OK,

I worked around it easily by creating a new BG splash for the Filter Bar

And examples with it installed.

The original boxes in BoxMe are 400x629 (1:1.5725), where as the big
box covers that PedroCR generated are 314x465 (1:1.48). Do I just
open up the original from BoxMe and save it to the above size?

.....

I am assuming you want the pretty new style not the old ugly style (sorry, they are ugly LOL)

....[Image: 746641415_dQeDm-M.png]....

What I did was create a poster of dimensions 314x465 and then resized the box so that the inner cutout was that size.


Seems a bit odd from original Aspect Ratio but see if that fits for you. Remember you will have to move it in CSS until it fits correctly.

Hi Manny
I have trying to use the left/right boxes that you freshly made, and
realized that these sizes are a little too big. I guess the "opening" in
these covers need to be 314x465 for them to work.

Try these and see if they fit better. Overall image is 330x520 which makes the inner cutout fit a 314x465 rectangle with a 1px overlap.

on the NMT, and it does display fine.

BTW, is it easy to add playlist support for Sabish's mod. Is it something
I can copy/paste from Lowlist?

Hi EJP
I used WinMerge to seek differences between ppp-templates.xsl files
from you and Sabish, and noticed the below additions in your new file.

From what I can tell, the below lines need to be added into
Sabish's mod to get playlists to work

Lines
====
1341 to 1423
1626 to 1640
1642 to 1643

I you may have guessed, I know nada about xsl and am trying to feel my way through.

The BD box you had generated earlier was perfect:
