SRJG Movie Jukebox for the AIOS

[aasoror]

Task: Creating a fully functional jukebox on the AIOS.
Difficulty: Low
Creativity: Low
Applicable to: Semiofficial firmware 3.0.1.7 R20+

Setup:
- Unless your media is local to the AIOS, you must first setup share shortcuts on your AIOS (see here for how to)
- You must also create the required sheets using the AIOS_SRJG_JB thumbgen profile (see here for how to).

Building the Jukebox:
- Open the "Jukebox -> config -> Movie path" and select the root folder of you movie collection. Set the nfo, poster and sheet paths to "MoviesPath" and "use imdb" to "no". Keep everything else at default value for now. build the jukebox by "Update Jukebox -> Rebuild".



Building the Jukebox with autoscrapping:
- You can skip the thumbgen step if you wish to do autoscrapping (but then you are stuck with the default sheet layout of SRJG).
- Open the "Jukebox -> config -> Movie path" and select the root folder of you movie collection. Set the nfo, poster and sheet paths to "SRJG" and "use imdb" to "yes". Keep everything else at default value for now. build the jukebox by "Update Jukebox -> Rebuild".
- It does take time (increasing the number of simultaneous downloads might speedup things) and be sure to name the files properly for more successful scrapping.



Updating the Jukebox
Open the "Jukebox -> config -> Update Jukebox -> fast"

I'm probably going to tackle this. However I have to ask about the steps in the links. The one that is quite long and at the end of it the difference is not using VI, etc.

Is there a way we can put just the steps we need now in this thread?

Which thread do you mean ? the networked shortcuts ? If your source is networked you need every step mentioned in the linked thread. But you are already past that, didn't you manage to get the network shortcuts running ?

Or do you mean the scrapping thread (simple movie wall) ? if so then the steps in linked thread is as minimal as it can get.

Did the .sh file and made it executable for my 2 NAS drives. Something we worked hard on before but did succeed.

Ran Thumbgen with the relevant config file to generate the thumbnails, nfo's, etc.

Stuck at this:
Jukebox -> config -> Movie path" and select the root folder of you movie collection

How do I tell the jukebox where my movies are?

Cycle through the file folder structure to /tmp/ramfs/volumes/NAS2?

Almost worked. I have a small little box in the upper left corner of my display with the jukebox information. Doesn't matter if I pick sheet, 2x6, 3x8. Stays that little box up in the upper left corner.

Did you verify that thumbgen generated the proper files "name_sheet.jpg, name.jpg and name.nfo" ?
Also did you "rebuild" the jukebox from the configuration menu before opening it ?

Rebuilt.

I'll attach the graphic of what thumbgen built.

Going through NFS shares works by the way. That is good news. I can see the movie sheet, etc. all full screen.

The little window in the upper left corner appears to be displaying all the information. Hard to tell exactly as its small. It changes when I go to gerne, date, etc.

I keep saying upper left corner. I am sorry. It is the upper right corner of my tv/display. Doing too much at the same time.

Upper RIGHT.....

Definitely need to have each movie in a series in its own folder. Otherwise the sheets, etc., get over written and only apply to one move in the multiple movie folder.

You are using the wrong profile.
Should be using AIOS_SRJG_JB.
