Installing YAMJ (on QNAP)

[shengabpy]

Hi everyone

I have spent over a week with the yamj.qpkg and still don't fully understand it as I cannot seem to get it working. Seems to install ok, but nothing ekse works properly after that. I have asked for help on both this forum + the qnap forum but no joy.

My question is, could someone give me a step by step (dummies) guide how you manually install and setup the official release on a qnap (ts-112) machine. I have read countless guides but my head is spinning as I'm unsure which versions to use, where/how to install and what changes to make.

I really have done a lot of reading and tried may times myself but I seem to be confusing myself even more in doing so.

Have an a-300

Really grateful to anyone that can help

I don't have a qnap, or the package that you mentioned, so I can't help with specifics, although I do understand your pain as I had to do the same with my Synology, so I can offer you generic help for a headless linux machine.

Firstly you have to have java installed and know where it is installed (as you will need to modify the moviejukebox.sh file).

Secondly, installing YAMJ is as simple as getting the zip file and unpacking it to a directory.

Code:

wget http://moviejukebox.googlecode.com/files/moviejukebox_v2.6.1.zip
unzip moviejukebox_v2.6.1.zip

Once that has unpacked you can move the directory wherever makes sense of your machine, personally, I'd make it accessible to other machines on your network so you can update it from your main PC.

If you can run "java -version" from the command line and have it return a result, try just running the "moviejukebox.sh" file and see if you get the help message.

Code:

./moviejukebox.sh

if not, edit the file and change the path to the java command.
Your goal is to get the YAMJ help text up because that means everything is roughly working as expected.

Once you've done that, configuring YAMJ is easy ;-)

hi Omertron,

Using WinSCP I created a folder on the NAS and copied all the unzipped contents into

/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Yamj

I then ran/executed "/usr/local/jre/bin/java -version" which returned

/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Yamj$ /usr/local/jre/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java™ SE Runtime Environment for Embedded (build 1.7.0-b147, headless)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

but it also gave me this error

command /usr/local/jre/bin/java-version
failed with return code 0 and error message
java version "1.70"

[Omertron]

Well, it means that java is installed and working

[shengabpy]

Omertron, you cant believe what s breath of fresh air you are to me right now.

Running ./moviejukebox.sh returns

/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Yamj$ ./moviejukebox.sh
-sh: line 61: ./moviejukebox.sh: No such file or directory

Is this to do with having to edit the command path ?

/usr/local/jre/bin/java

[Omertron]

No, it means one of two things; you are not in the same directory as "moviejukebox.sh" file or that file is not executable.

Code:

ls moviejukebox.sh

will answer the first

Code:

chmod 755 moviejukebox.sh

will fix the second.

Omertron, got it.

It was the permissions.

Underneath the following, got all the help commands

Ok, so now you just need to create your library.xml file and possibly a personal command file (so it's not overwritten when you update YAMJ).

Omertron, thanks for your patience

I created a library.xml in the root of the Yamj folder and :

<libraries>
<library>
<path>/share/Test/</path>
<playerpath>/file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/Test/</playerpath>
<exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLER/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
<description></description>
<prebuf></prebuf>
<scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
</library>
</libraries>

I also created a run_yamj.sh and :

./MovieJukebox.sh library.xml -o /output/path

Is this correct ?

[Omertron]

Looks good. You probably want to "-o /share/Test"

Just check that when you look at "/share/Test" you get the same sub-path as when you browse to the "Test" share on the PCH.

By that I mean, that whatever files are in "/share/Test" you see the same files and folders in the "Test" share on the PCH.

getting closer :-)

changed to -o /share/Test

Ran ./run_yamj.sh

It created both an index.htm file and a test/Jukebox folder in /Test on the NAS. Using the YAMJ app on the PCH, I add Jukebox, go to the Test share < enter>, nothing happens, I can see the two movie folders plus the Jukebox folder, scroll down to Jukebox < enter> and still nothing !

This is what I got running run_yamj.sh

Code:

/share/HDA_DATA/.qpkg/Yamj$ ./run_yamj.sh

Ok, so you're on an A300, so you need to install the eversion skin system.
Once you've done that (and re-run YAMJ) or whilst you are doing it, you need to download the YAMJ app from the apps market.

Once the YAMJ run has finished, open the App and point it to the Test jukebox and it should start up

Hi Omertron,

Finally got it working and want to thank you very much for that. its a relief after one week of .... frustration.

If i want to add multiple directories to be scanned, do I simply edit the library.xml file as such .....

Code:

<libraries>
    <library>
        <path>/share/Multimedia/Movie/</path>
        <playerpath>/file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/Multimedia/Movie/</playerpath>
        <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLER/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
        <description></description>
        <prebuf></prebuf>
        <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
    </library>
</libraries>

<libraries>
    <library>
        <path>/share/Multimedia/Series/</path>
        <playerpath>/file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/Multimedia/Series/</playerpath>
        <exclude name="sample,tmp/,temp/,RECYCLER/,RECYCLE.BIN/"/>
        <description></description>
        <prebuf></prebuf>
        <scrapeLibrary>true</scrapeLibrary>
    </library>
</libraries>

How does that then work with the run_yamj.sh ? Do I add another line just with the /series path like this ?

Code:

./MovieJukebox.sh library.xml -o /share/Multimedia/Movie/
./MovieJukebox.sh library.xml -o /share/Multimedia/Series/

Thanks once again.

[Omertron]

you want

Code:

<libraries>
    <library>
    </library>

    <library>
    </library>

    <library>
    </library>

</libraries>

That will put them all in the same jukebox

Running a scan as we speak

Does running the scan include the movie files again or does it skip and just concentrate on the new series files for example ? Is it possible for future reference that when a new movie or series file is copied to the folder that it scans and updates automatically ?

From what I read, not every skin is compatible with the A-300 and must be flash based. If I find one I like, is it a case of simply copying to the skin folder and editing the path as I did with eversion or am I stuck with that skin ?

Last but not least, how easy is it to compile and install mediainfo ? From what I have also read, it must be the CLI version but I dont have a clue which one I need to use for a headless linux machine.

You have been so helpful its unbelievable
