Author Topic: Customizing your NMT : A Visual Perspective (Read 8292 times)

[joms] · « **on:** Nov 07, 2008 at 10:43 AM »

Hi guys! I just want to share what i have accomplished with my NMT so far.

1) Ive backed up almost all my original DVD/Blu-ray/HD discs as well as that of my dad and brother's.

2) I tried installing the "jukebox filing system" and after several tiring hours (make that days), i have finally finished my struggle and am very happy with the results.

My collection which is also what you will actually see when you hit the HARD DRIVE selection in your NMT's main screen can be viewed here: WWW.JOMS.NET

A couple of pics of my accomplishment:

If you wish to copy what i just did, then all instructions can be found at http://www.treasure-cove.net/moviejukebox.htm.

The process is very tedious so if you are impatient then i don't recommend this for you.

pwede ba sa e-great yan?

[joms] · « **Reply #4 on:** Nov 07, 2008 at 11:04 AM »

I am using Egreat EG-M31B with 1.5TB Seagate Internal HD. I also have an external 1.5TB Hard Drive which i will soon transform to the jukebox filing method as well.

I believe this filing system can be done on the Egreat/Popcornhour and all the other NMTs as they all have the same software/etc.

Thanks

Automated naman most of the process. Matagal lang yung pag download ng cover art. Even if you have a fast connecton (I am downloading at 2.4Mbps) no use pa din. Mabagal kasi sa side ng DVDEmpire. Isa isa yung authentication.

Questions:

1. Can this be done on a PC?
2. Approximately how long will it take to organize about 700?

uy kamusta na mga pre =)

Actually its easy lang if you follow the steps one by one. very detailed naman yung explanation. Wag lang kayong mag mamadali. Iba kasi excited so they tend to miss a step or two which screws up a lot of things in the end. If you will be doing this, set nyo na sa utak nyo that this will take some time and will need your utmost patience.

A tip that i could give is to watch a movie sa PC nyo while downloading yung mga cover art. I download it on batches of 5. Previously kasi i tried downloading by 20+ pero nag hang yung PC ko nung nasa dulo na so i had to repeat everything again.

The hard part here din kasi is that when you get the links sa cover art, you wont be able to preview it yet. You still need to click one by one yung link sa right box to view the cover art but it takes like around 20-30 secs for each link and once you click 1 link, the program wont let you do anything so maghihintay ka until matapos yung 1 preview download na yun..... and when you dont like the cover art, you click on another link to choose again.

Note: Some cover art that you will download will be small in size so when played, hindi sya ganun ka pino. I had to re-do those and choose another cover art.

Sample cover art selections:

1) spiderman full screen [DVD]
2) spiderman widescreen [DVD]
3) spiderman criterion collection
4) spiderman HD DVD
5) spiderman Blu-ray
6) spiderman 20th anniversary edition
7) spiderman etc etc

Each link to preview the cover art will freeze your program for around 20-30secs (depending on connection)

You can actually just choose without preview and blindly download the cover art (which is what i did at first) but:

Note: choosing all blu-ray/HD isnt always a good idea because some blu-ray cover art has a white thing on the upper left and right edges which would not look good on the jukebox (yung box kasi ng blu-ray/HD eh hindi square. May curve yung top and bottom part nya)

Note: choosing all DVD isn't automatically a good idea either as most cover art are only user submitted scans or picture taken photos of the dvd box which has lots of dirt and noise in the picture.
