I developed a simple GUI for this MovieJukebox - a few clicks of a mouse and you're done.

You have a simple/"straight to the point" UPnP wrapper that works well with the JukeBox? at: http://rapidshare.com/files/146632762/upnp2http.zip Discussion here: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=8283

Perhpas a Newbie question, sorry if so... Does YAMJ work on a Windows Home Server? I am about to purchse a C200 and my movies are going to be ripped to a Windows Home Server platform on my wired network. The WHS platform is a "lite" version of Windows Server 2003 made specifically for home media storage. According to the PCH folks, the C200 can talk to the WHS, but I want to assure that YAMJ will run on WHS before puchasing. Thanks. Eager to hear back.

One more thing... will YAMJ index multiple locations? In order to have more storage than the 6TB in my WHS, I would also liketo have 2TB or 4TB (2 drives if possible)physically installed in my C200.

Comment by Stuart.Boston, Nov 10, 2009

Yes YAMJ will run on any windows, linux or (most) Mac platforms.

I was going to purchase the Patriot Box Office media player. I wanted to be sure that YAMJ is compatible with Box Office prior to purchasing. I was planning on storing all movies on hard drive that I would install in the Box Office media player, would I still be able to use your program so that I can have the same interface as shown in your screenshots? Thanks for your help in advance!

I have no idea if the Box Office player is compatible. If it can browse web pages then there is a good chance it will work.
