[mikinho]

Looking forward to Yammm 2.0 !!

So am I =) Well I'm looking forward to putting my attention to other projects for a few weeks. A couple of really cool Media Center apps. Well I think they are at least but I guess we'll see when they are released.

Hello, friends. I have a little doubt here:

I have some movies that are divided in two files. I configured Yammm to create playlists for multi-file movies.
Now, in my Media Center, I have three entries of my movie: part 1, part 2, and playlist.

There is a way to filter this to show only the playlist?
I try the good old right click with the mouse over the files, but Media Center ask me if I want to delete the file, and I stay a little afraid.

It´s better to question the masters.

Editing: Now I have time to read the entire thread, and see the possibilitie of use the "hide playlist members" to do the trick for me. I will try this tonight, and post here if it will suceed.

Ok, guys... I'm slightly retarded when it comes to programs like this.

I installed Yammm because Oribital Shark said he'd bite me if I didn't (j/k). I installed it because I thought it'd help with synopsis information for my mom, she primarily uses my 360 for streaming.

Here's my problem, every tv-show I download or rip, i.e. "BonesS05E01", is automatically changed to Bones [1 of 1]. Its rather annoying to have this happen because I have a special format for doing everything, I could however, change how I do things, but thats moving over 1,000+ media files, and re-arranging my entire collection.

Thats problem number 1.

Problem number 2 is, not all my tv-show's work with Yammm. I had "Bones" labeled as "Bones", it changed it to "Bones (2001)". While my tv-shows like CSI, Criminal Minds, etc.. Are still that way.

Now my last problem, #3. The synopsis information is all wrong. It's giving me synopsis from some other tv-show when I look at Bones's synopsis. I'm 110% completely confused on how to fix these problems. Frankly, I'm at the point of removing Yammm because is causing more problems than doing good.

Can anyone give me some advice on these issues? I'm using OS's suggested settings for W7.

 

[mikinho]

Hi Dreadstar, all three problems are the same. v1 of Yammm does not support TV series, only movies. v2 does but it isn't available yet. It is mentioned a few times in this thread and in the homepage as well.

I apologize for the delay in responding, I'm actually on vacation. I can help clean up your files\folders that got renamed if you need.

The hide will only work in Media Browser, XBMC and Video Library. The native Movie Library does not respect the hidden attribute. v2 has a fix for this.

Hey no worries man, it was just something I was hoping someone could answer. Also, what language is Yammm coded in? I'm working on C++ right now, If I ever got good enough, Yammm's something I'd devote my time too :]

Any idea when version 2 will be out? Also, does yammm support character images because nothing shows up for me. Thanks!

Probably not until the end of January.

Have a read here.

First let me say, I used Yammm when it first came out, and I loved it then, great work. I just installed the newest version, but want to be sure of a few things. I really want yammm for creating my playlist, but want to make sure I set it up correctly for monitoring the folders and for creating the playlist. This is my folder structure
Dragon Ball- this is the parent folder
dragon ball z
dragon ball gt
dragon ball
I added each folder to yammm as separate folders, is that ok, or could I have just added the parent folder Dragon Ball? Secondly, once the playlist is created, how do I access it?

 

[zay]

Wow, no one in the forum today. Does know how to use the playlist that yammm creates. I have the config set to create playlist, how do I run the playlist when I am ready to watch my shows?

 

[mikinho]

zay, sorry for not having responded, i've been busy working the production yammm server for v2 (almost there) and then today i took a break for family stuff, tomorrow as well.

yammm v1 does not do TV series so Dragon Ball will not populate properly. the playlist creation is for movies that were ripped into two parts (typically for burning onto CDs). if you want to play all videos in a folder MC7 already has them option "Play All" under Video Library. If you are on VMC or want additional options I also created a plug-in for Video: Play All \ Shuffle All

 

[zay]

Thanks Mikinho, I clearly forgot about the play all for the video library. is V2 going to able to do a playlist for tv shows? By way, stay warm, I have been in Houston for 8 yrs and this is the coldest I have ever felt it.

This is not a yammm issue, but I trust your knowledge, is it normal for mc to make that annoying sound just before it starts a new movie from the playlist?

I have all sorts of issues with WMC and my XBOX 360. So it wouldn't surprise me if there was a weird sound. Is it like a popping sound? Because I get that when I play MKVs.


Quick question, should I install Shark007's 64bit and 32bit codecs, or just 32bit? My windows 7 is 64bit, but I'm not 100% sure.

Mine does that too, I don't know if there's a way to disable it.

Funny thing is that is that as the playlist continues, I noticed it only did it for some and not for others. I will try to see what makes the difference.
