Yammm BETA-13.10.22.0076

Use Windows explorer and open the folder that has all the movie folders in it.  Use the search function (top right hand corner) to show all *.xml files.  Delete as needed individually or as a group (CRTL+A).  Not sure if it defaults to show sub folders or not but it can.

You can CTRL+Z if you get it wrong (may not always work….)

No CTRL+Z in this solution so use with caution and test to make sure it is what you want to do.

Open a DOS box, change to the correct drive and cd to the correct directory.

****use with caution****

del /s *.xml <insert extension as needed>

/****use with caution****

This will delete all files with a .xml <whatever you put> from that directory down. The /s means subdirectories.

As I said, test before deployment.

 

Mr. Welter,

To you Sir, I simply say, thank you.

Michael,

I have used your application for (IIRC) about five years or so and have found it to be an absolutely wonderful peice of software. It is so unpretentious and simple in it’s operation yet performs such a magnificent job in it’s primary function.

With 800+ movies in my collection I can only begin to imagine how much work you have saved me and, for that alone, I extend wholehearted thanks.

Please continue to have a passion for this software and if you ever decided to change to a paid model I, for one, would be amongst one of your many customers.

Yours Sincerely,

Wingnut

 

Sorry about the double post, my computer is playing up. :/

I saw that new versions have been released for download – specifically for verzion 13.10.20.0190, but the first post still has 13.10.20.0076 listed.  I also saw some updates posted after v190 – how can I get the latest and greatest?

Michael – thank you!!!!

Noticed that the new xml files in the DvdInfoCache directory contain only 1 genre listing although 2 or more are given on the tmdb movie listing site (the old YAMMM XML files contained multiple genres in the ‘categories’ field).  Media Browser shows updated info from the new YAMMM xml files (eg tmdb ratings have replaced imdb ratings) but still shows multiple genres!  Will sorting programs find multiple genres for a given movie or will they only find the new single genre listed in the YAMMM xml file?

I found Media Center itself handles single Genre listings better than Multiple. Having multiple can cause Media Center’s Movie Library to jump around and perform poorly.

Media Browser support is done but not well tested. I’m going to install over the weekend so if you can wait until that is released it should handle multiple genres better and have additional information when used with Media Browser.

Thanks. I finally found out where the donation window is ….

You have Folder art enabled? (It is disabled by default). Are the folders being renamed?  Is the dvdid.xml file being generated?

Can you check %ProgramData%Yammm folder and see if the Cache and Images subfolders have content in them

[SmakyFeter]

Where we can get this updated version (YammmSetup-13.10.20.0190)? Link at first post still points to a previous one.

Hi Michael….does 13.10.22.0076 seem like it is going to be the stable running build for a while?

Should a newbie be waiting on enhancements or just running with this particular smoke?
Is IMDB support a dead horse…not that it really matters…I’m okay with TMDB…

Thanks,

Matt

How do I add my own movie art? I hate about one quarter of the movie art that Yammm automatically pulls from tmdb. I used to replace the jpeg files with movie art of my own preference, but now it does not work…I use a “staging” folder for my newly added movies, and once Yammm adds its data, I transfer the folders to my regular Movie folder. Could you add a feature where Yammm had separate settings, so you could have “staging” setup settings(that would add new data etc.) and regular settings(that would not add new movie data, only add existing data to the cache) Is this possible? If not, is there anyway I can change my movie art manually?

I’m about to board a plane but wanted to say thanks for all the comments. I really didn’t think many people still used Yammm. Glad to see it is.

Please send feature requests if you have them.  The next two features being released are Media Browser support and TV support.

Hi Buddy

I had the same problem with some movies pulling in foreign covers, I used to just replace the folder.jpg and it would work but as you have also discovered it now doesn’t seem to work.  You may want to try this, it worked for me.

Find the artwork you want to use, save it to your desktop as folder.jpg (I then right click the new jpg and change properties to ‘hidden’)

Then move this file to the relevant movie folder which will overwrite the folder.jpg currently there.

Then go to C:ProgramDataYammmDvdCoverCache (you may need to enable the view for hidden files in folder and search options.

Locate the artwork that is being used in media center (that you have just overwritten with your own) and delete it. Restart media center and your new artwork should now appear.

Thats how I’ve done it but there may be a quicker way, I only replaced a few so didn’t take long – may be different if you want to change a lot

** Just had a thought – I had mine set up to not download the original artwork prior to resizing so not sure if having a ‘folder.original.jpg’ in the movie folder would affect my way of doing it.

That should work. I’ll update so it syncs the file across if you do replace folder.jpg
