Customize YAMJ

[amazoncd]

Hello, after doing a bit of searching around the forums I have a couple of questions. I'm expecting all the answers to be "No and No." But I won't know if I don't ask.

1:
I'm not interested in the video info page. Can it be disabled so that when selecting a thumbnail the video will play directly.

2:
Can I use my thumbnails automatically? For example, all of my videos are listed as:
x:\Movie (2005).mkv
x:\Movie (2005).tbn
x:\Movie 2 (2006).mkv
x:\Movie 2 (2006).tbn
The .TBN files are just .JPG's renamed to .TBN. It'd be nice if all the thumbnails generated were just my .TBN files and no fetching from other sources. It's possible for me to batch rename the files to .JPG if that helps at all.

Any advice would be great. Thanks.

No, no current way to bypass the detail page at the moment in YAMJ.

As for images, copy them into the output directory as .jpg images.
So if your source location is (Popcorn unit) z:\Video\ and you output
to your PC first in X:\moviejukebox\MyJukebox\ then this is where you
copy them to. PNG files for large detail and thumbnail image will be created from that. Hopefully
the jpg and created thumbnail will be the same size, but you can define that in the moviejukebox.properties file.
It will always use the .JPG files it finds.

Once you test the output files locally on your PC, you can copy X:\moviejukebox\MyJukebox\ * to anywhere on
the Popcorn unit, usually in Video/ unless you want it in the root folder so that the index.htm file auto-starts,
however unless you modify the index.htm, you'll have no way to get back to the setup and Media Source selections.

Actually, you could bypass the details page altogether.
You would just have to modify the index.xsl file to output the link to play the movie, instead of the link to the detail page.
Then rerun the app to generate everything. Now, all of the same files would still get generated, but if you output the link properly it would just play the movie instead of linking to the detail page.
