Any other PDVDer who has used the video jukeboxes? Will try to set-up also.  Which is the best jukebox to use?

[pietra]

almost done with our jukebox, finishing touches na lang.  i followed the instructions from the link in the first few posts - http://www.treasure-cove.net/moviejukebox.htm.  thanks joms!

i used movie posters instead of cover art and set the preferences to display fewer but larger images per page.  took extra hours to complete the collections/boxed sets and tv series pages.

here are some pics:

wow, how many hours per day sir ung 3 days?

[pietra]

4-6 hours a day siguro, that includes searching for/downloading all the images.  had to do it manually kasi i opted not to use cover art.  i played around with the export settings din kasi kaya tumagal.

grabe tyaga mo ah!    if only i have time to spare...

wow, what a great jukebox, next project ko ito next month (i hope i have the time)

[pietra]

thanks.  i was actually (t)asked by my husband to create the jukebox since i stayed home a lot over the past few weeks.  got obsessed with it and will probably work on it some more once i go on maternity leave

[joeyrodil]

By the way hows the navigation, hindi ba mabagal? meron ba facility to quick search for the movie? yung hindi na dadaan sa category? tipong search by name na lang

[pietra]

i wasn't able to post a photo of the home page but it does include links based on the first letter of the movie title so you can use that for searching too.

di naman mabagal but it takes an extra click/screen before the movie is played kasi when you click on the cover art it goes to the movie details page where the play button is.  unlike sa normal nmt menu na pagclick mo on the file name play na sya agad.

Hi Pietra, I just want to ask how you indicated the movie title under the movie poster in your movie jukebox? Also, how did you put the harry potter series under collection? thanks

[pietra]

You can find the instructions for creating tv series and collections under the Appendix 7 Revision 6 Changes link in the tutorial site.

The option for displaying the titles is in the Index Settings tab of the export program.

Okay great. Thanks a lot.

sir Joms or anyone na nakagawa ng jukebox...do you accept orders? pagawa nalang ako sa inyo hehe

I do not have any internal hard drive in the NMT, the guide only has instructions for those with internal HDs.  How, and where to put the index anf html files in the PC? Thanks.

[milken]

If you want an easier way to customize your NMT, try Yet Another MovieJukebox. http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/  It's easier to use compared to My Lil Jukebox.  I've tried both. 

I don't think you need an internal HDD as far as I remember with Lil Jukebox (not so sure now).  For YAMJ, I just save the index in my PC. To access it, I have to go to directory where it is kept.
