[YAMJ] cant search a folder with spaces in its path - problem

[poggsuk]

I have my server running windows home server 2011 feeding my new popbox v8. YAMJ is installed on the server and im running it directly on the server's hard drive via desktop connection.

I followed the instructions to create a yamj search for my movies folder. I couldn't make it work using the gui, but after editing the xml and cmd files manually using the path help found in popcorn v8's app, it now works for the movies files. the path I've got for that is

<libraries>

<library>
<path>V:\ServerFolders\Videos\Movies</path>
<playerpath>smb://[=]HPSERVER/Videos/Movies</playerpath>
<exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLER/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
<description></description>
<prebuf></prebuf>
<scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
</library>
<libraries>

I have a another folder with all my tv shows in it. I'm trying to make the jukebox see it. its xml 'should' be.

<library>
<path>V:\ServerFolders\Videos\TV Shows\Full TV series</path>
<playerpath>smb://[=]HPSERVER/Videos/TV Shows/Full TV series</playerpath>
<exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLER/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
<description></description>
<prebuf></prebuf>
<scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
</library>

</libraries>

but the juke box crashes on a
directory or library configuration file 'series' not found error. I seems as if it having issues with spaces. is there a character I need to put in the path to signify a space?

You could try %20 instead of a space in the playerpath, but the easiest option would be to replace the playerpath spaces with "_" (also rename the directory)

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Fixed it, sort of.

Turns out the fault was not with the xml file (which can cope with spaces) but with the cmd file. I had told the jukebox to store its directory in

@Echo OFF
C:
CD \YAMJ
CALL moviejukebox My_Library_tv.xml -o V:\ServerFolders\Videos\Tv Shows\Full TV series
pause
exit

and it did not like the spaces at all. changed the storage path to

@Echo OFF
C:
CD \YAMJ
CALL moviejukebox My_Library_tv.xml -o V:\ServerFolders\Videos\jukebox
pause
exit

and all is well for the moment. Just want to combine the two now.....

Code:

@Echo OFF
C:
CD \YAMJ
CALL moviejukebox My_Library_tv.xml -o "V:\ServerFolders\Videos\Tv Shows\Full TV series"
pause
exit

Would have worked as well
