Quote:For help, please read the readme.txt and/or the Help page inside the Playlist Generator.

This new versions allows a lot more features. Especially the 'Create a playlist in all folders' and 'Schedulability' are nice new things I think. And of course OGG file support for the guy that kept requesting it

I hope you like the new stuff. Have fun!

I use for example: nfs://172.19.3.4::films to connect to a shar eon my network. In the films share there is a directory called music where the playlist is. What will the PCH path be in this case?

If the tool works i will be VERY happy !!!!

This way you can rerun it to have a shuffle function.

Quote:I can think of a few things to check.

First is that there's normally a space between the [NFS] and the IP address (on the ones I use, and the examples I've seen). I'm not sure if this space is optional or not, and I'm not at home to check right now.

Next, you can't tell from the screenshot if this is using an anonymous account or not. If it needs to use a specific account then that needs to be added to the link as

Code:

...[NFS] UserName@172.19.3.4 ....

The PCH seems to be very case sensitive even if the device you're connecting to isn't, so make sure it matches the account that was entered when they defined their NFS shares on the PCH.

And finally, if the above don't work, try to simplify the path a bit. Instead of using a directory with spaces and punctuation perhaps try /muziek/test and put a single file in there to test. I do have directories with spaces in them so I don't think that's an issue, but I haven't tested ones with parens...

Let us know if that helps.

The PCH background thing isn't anything done by the playlists...thats something with the playlist firmware. But i can tell you that its not there (atleast in photos) in the new beta firmware.

2. You can play photoslide shows and mp3 files or mp3 playlists at the same time. Thats handled in your html file.

Code:

<a href="music file or playlist"  pod="1,1,photo playlist">Playlist</a>

thats the format. Normally you just put MUTE...which means no music in the background....but you can put a file or playlist iinstead of MUTE

and you're right...theres a typo in the code. It seems to scan for mpeg. I'll try to get that worked out.

I would like to make one feature request, which admittedly won't be very easy to implement - I think. To make the playlist generator perfect (at least for my use ) it would be nice if it could scan all subdirectories in a way that it could create a playlist per directory.

In this case you would put the start directory to the upper box, e.g. X:\Photos. In the lower box you would define the correponding nmt path, e.g. /opt/sybhhtpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/Media/Photos.

With complete lack of understanding for programming, I hope I'm not shooting for the moon here... But I sure understand if you JaapW or excal don't feel up to starting this big of a rewrite.

(01-21-2009 08:34 PM)shinner Wrote:  - Hooked up the external USB drive to my laptop....it was assigned G:

- Entered "G:\Adults\Standard Def\Duckman\Season 02" in the "select directory" field. This points to the source files.

- Entered "duckman02.jsp" for the Playlist filename. This creates the file in the directory named in "select directory" above.

- Enterted "opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/Adults/Standard Def/Duckman/Season 02" for "NMT directory". This provides the path on the NMT where the source files will be found.

What I've come to understand (and didn't realize at first) is that you don't need to be connected to the NMT to generate the playlist. All you need is access to the directory with the files (it can be anywhere as long as you can write to the disk) and the info as to where on the NMT the source files will be found. The PLG will scan any directory and make the link to the file using the path found in the NMT directory field.

In theory you could point the PLG to a directory of nonsense on your hard drive just to generate the proper syntax for the jsp file, then edit it in notepad replacing the path of the source files (and the source filenames) with what you know to be true on a non-writable disk.

Because you can't write to the USB on the NMT via a network connection....I could point the PLG to a local directory with any file in it, provide the proper NMT directory info and let it generate the PL. Then edit the jsp file with notepad, copy the single line as many times as needed and then edit each line with the proper path and filenames as they are on the non-writable USB drive. Sure, it's a pain in the ass to do it manually, but for someone who doesn't know java syntax but can look at it and realize what needs to change, it's a workaround.

Much easier to disconnect the USB drive from the MNT and connect it locally (making it writable), but if you don't have physical access to the drive but can see it on the network, you could get your playlists done if you were really bored

This is not true (though I thought it was as well)....the jsp file is written to the directory specified in the "select directory" field.

- New: Silent Mode (ability to schedule playlist generation = create playlists without manual work).
- New: Generate playlists for all subfolders of the selected folder.
- New: Define the photo transition time. Only used for photo playlists.
- Improved: GUI redesigned.
- Improved: Help window.

I finished v1.4 of the Playlist Generator in the weekend. I have been testing it and it works really well. It can create playlists for all subfolders of a specified folder, which allows impressive flexibility in setting up playlists. Also, because it can now run in 'Silent mode', you can schedule the playlist creation automatically to be done once a day (sort of auto-shuffle!). It loops through over 10.000 files on NMT and creates a total of 50 playlists within a minute!

It works really well. I have my holiday pictures stored in subfolders under the Photos folder. I have my holiday music in subfolders under the Music folder. This allows me to have holiday pictures slideshows with the music I had with me during that holiday - all shuffled automatically every day

Would work for a interim solution i guess though.

...
624 - 05h-06h.avi

When I create the playlist using this proggie, i get this jsp file :

601 - 06h-07h.avi|0|0|file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/24/S6/602 - 06h-07h.avi|

624 - 05h-06h.avi|0|0|file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/24/S6/624 - 05h-06h.avi|

After creation of the HTML file, I browse to this place, and select the HTML.

But when it tries to play the files I gat a "Could not play" warinig message on my screen ...

What could be the problem ??

Thanks for helping in advance !!

And can you play the playlist.jsp without the HTML file?

(04-02-2009 06:24 PM)LePousson Wrote:  Yes I can play the files normally (using the first icon on the left on the desktop) ...

No I can't locate the playlist.jsp (it does not appear) through the playlist explorer (4th icon on the desktop) ..

What can I do ?

Does it play then?
How does your HTML file look, does it look something like this;

Code:

<html>
<body>
1.<a href="playlist.jsp" vod="playlist">Playlist All Videos</a>
</body>
</html>

(04-03-2009 03:53 AM)LePousson Wrote:  Yes it is exactly that file, except the "1." )

And I get then a "Could not play" error message ...

Any idea ??

And did you try to make a new playlist?
