Hi

Anybody who has a Mede8er, please indicate if its possible to organise the video wall without the need to use YAMJ? Is there no automatic way for the Mede8er to scan your folders, and then provide the necessary information about that movie etc etc?

YAMJ is a bit complicated, so if there is some alternative software that will just take a movie and the provide me with the information

Thanks Guys

Upgrade to the most recent version of the firmware (v3). It has a built in scanner now which works quite well.

HOWEVER, you still need to keep your movies and series in individual folders with the necessary naming conventions detailed here:

I could never get YAMJ to work properly. I gave up eventually.
 
Initial folder setup is a ball ache if you have a large library, and I found the new built-in scanner does occasionally choke despite correct naming conventions. If it takes more than a second or so per title then it is choking.

Finding the offending title can be a bit of a pain, but I found it was generally DVD titles which had non standard nfo files.

Once the initial task is done keeping it in line for new titles is quite easy, and the new firmware REALLY makes the med8r much less of a dog than it used to be. Quite pretty actually. Was quite sorry that I only went through this exercise in order to turn over the mede8er to my dad.
 
um but i have the old 500x, so im guessing that the scanner is only for the new players?
