[YAMJ] ALPHA TEST: Eversion with iSkin2 mobile/tablet Remote

[flyck]

Thanks again de_polle

So I checked library.xml - it is /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/SATA_DISK/Video/
I can cd to this path. I also inspected the html files created for specific title and the path there is the same.
Now when I browse the html from the laptop I can see in the status bar the actual URL and it is:
http://192.168.1.2:8080/opt/sybhttpd/loc...4.6x01.avi

I think the prefix (http://192.168.1.2:8080) is somehow wrong. Doing the same wth jukebox generated with iSkin, the url is:
jnmt.play('/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/SATA_DISK/Video/Tv/24/24.Season.6/24.6x01.avi')

I know how to create network share, the question is it is necessary to do that for iSkin2 to work properly?

If both iSkin and iSkin2 use the same javascript technique to play the media files, then the jukebox generated with iSKin2 is somehow improperly generated

I agree with you - NAS is much better solution - when I did shopping for streamer, I wanted "single-box" solution so I choose pch-a300 with internal 3GB drive. If I was to decide now, I would get small streamer with no internal storage and NAS to hold all the media.

Thank you very much for helping me!

Hi,

Well that URL certainly is not correct. Afaik, that doesn't look like an
iSkin2 problem but more like some setting. Try to force the player root
path by setting: mjb.playerRootPath=file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/Video/ (replace Video by your path) in your moviejukebox.properties file (I have it set ...).
FYI, I'm using:
- yayman (last version) (and I let it download and install the most recent YAMJ)
- Eversion R0179/iSkin2 Preview 5-Test 6
- YANFOE v1 to manage the nfo files (movies only)

Thanks a lot Danny,

I'll try that.
I am using yamj and I have manually installed and configured it, though I know yayman automates the process. Anyways, I'll try a fresh install of yamj/yayman/eversion too.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Well, before you re-install things, try the property first. I'm fairly confident that will fix it. If in the end you still are stuck, drop me a message and I'll provide you with a zip of my setup.

Thanks Danny,

I'm not sure if it was your suggestion or gfb107's from the main iSkin thread here but now I do succeed to start the movies from the iPad! Thanks a lot!

However, when I hit the play button on the left of the title, the movie indeed starts to play but the remote control displayed on iPad is still buggy - I see some of the buttons and I see blue question marks instead of actual and probably important buttons (perhaps play, stop, pause)
Do you have a suggestion for this problem too?

Anyways, I really appreciate your help!

Hi Flyck,

Looks like we both pointed to the same setting so I suggest to share
the credits ;-)
About the buttons: sorry - no clue, they display nicely on my iPad.
My intuition says missing files, afair, the graphics for the buttons
are in one of the skin subdirs. Might be a problem with the webserver
too but I doubt that.
If you decide to go for a NAS: to keep it cheap, go for a 2 disk NAS and
put in one 3TB disk, copy the content from your PCH 3TB disk to the NAS.
Then move the PCH disk to the NAS and build a RAID1. Finally put a small and cheap 2.5 disk in the PCH and ready you are. Remember disks do crash - that's when you learn to know the value of a RAID ...

Thanks Danny,

I figured out the missing buttons - the html generated shows

Code:

<img src="img/remote/icon-play.png" alt="">

, but there is no "remote" directory inside "img" directory. Perhaps i got wrong zip. I copied "remote" directory from iSkin(1) and the images are shown ok now. I think that I have downloaded some incomplete version. Could you please point me to location that I can download latest and complete iSkin2?

Thanks

Remember to save your skin.properties first ...

thanks for pointing out that first post was still linked to github and they removed the download section. it has been fixed.

[gfb107]

Links to zips of the latest versions of iSkin and iSkin2 are available on the iSkin homepage ( http://mediaplayersite.com/iSkin )

I believe that is clearly stated in the iSkin/iSkin2 Readme.html as well as in the iSkin/iSkin2 annoucement post (the 1st post in the iSkin/iSkin2 thread)
