               index_09AF.html             <-- movies index for [0-9],[A-F]

               index_MR.html               <-- movies index for [M-R]
               index_SZ.xml
               index_SZ.html               <-- movies index for [S-Z]

         ...\Jukebox\exportdetails_item_popcorn.css
               \Movie1.xml                  <-- "Movie1" xml information from IMDb
               \Movie1.jpg                  <-- poster for "Movie1" 
               \Movie1_small.jpg            <-- poster thumbnail for "Movie1" 
               \Movie1.html                 <-- movie detail html report for "Movie1"

               \Movie2.xml
               \Movie2.jpg
               \Movie2_small.jpg
               \Movie2.html					
	       ...

On your PopcornHour if the index.htm file is in the root of a media source the system will automatically launch the index.

Note: You may need to browse into the folder where index.htm is stored once from the PopcornHour before the index.htm will auto-load.

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.

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