sorry that I come back with old stories, but I tried different manners to import playlist (I've tried itunes, WMP .. my goal at ther end is to use media monkey m3u) without any success...(got the error message with characters or path issue)
Source music folder's paths for MJB & Media monkey are the same
I'm in windows environnement can it be related to space instead of "%20" in the path.

COuld you share a simple example of what MJb is expecting in the playlist and how MJB would translate it for NMT path ?

Thanks in advance

MJB always expects a complete path to a music file in the playlist you are importing. If the playlist contains only relative paths (I have seen this in iTunes a few times), it won't understand how to import. If you have a small WMP playlist you are trying to import, PM it to me and I can take a look.

Thanks, I will prepare a sample with my configuration settings and will let you know through PM

Remember, for these options to work, you must enable MyiHome Server NMT App on the Popcorn Hour itself (these functions all use PHP, which is supported on the Popcorn Hour only when MyiHome is running).

Is-there a way to have shuffle function without Myihome?
I don't have anymore HDD in the POP. I use a NAS connected to it and by this way, I can't activate myihome

I have also an issue:
The play all when I select an artist doesn't work (I edited the playall.jsp and I find that it is referring to HARD_DISK/Music, but I use and specify NETWORK_SHARE/NAS Music in the config page. How can I force MJB to add NETWORK_SHARE/NAS instead of HARD_DISK/Music to create play lists?

The shuffle function was written in PHP, which is only recognized by your Popcorn Hour when Myihome is running, strange, I know... No way around it that I know of.

Select the option 'Delete All HTML' before you generate. This will recreate the album playlists with your new path. You will also need to select the Generate HTML option on the Playlists window to update the links to your custom playlists.

Thanks for your feedback: problem solved after selecting first delete all HTML

Hi,

I have a little problem:
I can run play all from play list page and also from each page created. Unfortunately, shuffle only work from the playlist page but not from the page from an artist. In this case I have the message "CAN'T PLAY".

I am using MJB 8.2 beta 23.

My musics are located on an external HDD and the menu is located on the internal HDD from PCH.

Here the code of running shuffle from playlist:

Code:

http:/localhost:8088/stream/file=/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Music/Menu/playlists/shuffle.php?list=/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Music/Menu/playlists/Tich.jsp

Here the code of not running shuffle from an artist page:

Code:

http://localhost:8088/stream/file=/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Music/Menu/playlists/shuffle.php?list=/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/Music/alicia%20keys/As%20I%20Am/playlist.jsp

Any help is welcome

Can you post the first couple of lines from the playlist.jsp in the 'Alicia Keys/As I Am' folder? The code you posted looks right, let's see what is in the playlist...

Here

Code:

Alicia Keys - As I Am - 01- As I Am|0|0|file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/Music/alicia keys/As I Am/Alicia Keys - As I Am - 01- As I Am.mp3|
Alicia Keys - As I Am - 02 - Go Ahead|0|0|file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/Music/alicia keys/As I Am/Alicia Keys - As I Am - 02 - Go Ahead.mp3|
Alicia Keys - As I Am - 03 - Superwoman|0|0|file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/Music/alicia keys/As I Am/Alicia Keys - As I Am - 03 - Superwoman.mp3|
Alicia Keys - As I Am - 04 - No One|0|0|file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_A-1/Music/alicia keys/As I Am/Alicia Keys - As I Am - 04 - No One.mp3|

From the artist menu, the playlist is working fine

Here's a comment for you: don't mess with file extensions, especially in the sneaky way tou do. It is incredibly annoying to have to reset it every time I install mjb.

Other than that this looks pretty cool, it nicely fills the gap YAMJ leaves open.

Just wondering if anyone has managed to get Shuffle to work as yet? Ive got this setup on my C-200 with the latest firmware, and if i click on shuffle in the song list...nothing happens. If i click "Play all" it works, but i cant get shuffle to work. If anyone has any suggestions im all ears.

Also, is there a way to make a shortcut to launch the Music Jukebox htm main page? Currently i have to go Source -> Sata -> Music -. 59. Index_main.html, im really trying to find a way to make it more idiot proof and simple.

I bet the search function doesn't work either...
Shuffle and Search functions require you start the MyiHome application on the NMT Applications setup page.

Is your music stored on an external device or network share? If so, copy index.htm to the root of the share oor external device. Then when you select the device, your music menu will appear. If you do this, you won't be able to browse the contents of the device though. Another option is to create a custom index.htm file in the root of your sata drive. Create links to all of your jukeboxes and applications. The selecting the hard disk icon will start your custom menu.

Turn on the MyiHome option on the NMT Applications menu (on Setup menu) of your Popcorn Hour...
