YAMJ Jukebox index.htm issues

[DrNik]

Hope some of you super-tech folks can help...

My system:
Popcorn A300
Ethernet cable to Netgaer ReadyNAS NV with movies on
Share using SAMBA

Problem 1:
When I produce the Jukebox on my PC and copy the required files to the root of the hard drive in the PCH the menus all work fine and movies launch fine.
My problem is when I update the jukebox files, I cannot browse the folders on the PCH HD using the PCH interface because it defaults straight to the jukebox page (by loading the index.html).
So do I have to pull out the hard-drive and upload the files each time I update? I don't seem to be able to link the PCH to my windows PC so I can upload like that - any thoughts?

Problem 2:
If I try to run my jukebox from the NAS drive they are unusable due to the slowness of the loading of each page... I get the wheel of white dots of death...
Is there a reason or problem with running the jukebox from the NAS? Any thoughts on solving this one either, because it negates problem 1, because I tend to write the out put from YAMJ direct to the NAS?

As every, I am grateful in advance for you invaluable help!

Cheers,

Nik.

Not sure what the problem is? What are you updating?

Do you mean browse to the PCH HDD? In which case you will need to either rename the index.html file to get access to the PCH HDD.

I'm not sure how you are "uploading" the files. Why can't you copy them over a samba link?

Assuming that you have SAMBA started in your NMTApps

No, I (and many others) run the jukebox directly from the network share that has the videos on it. You may have a networking/nas issue that causes this slow browsing but its beyond my knowledge of how to fix
