[MUSIC] iTunes and iPhoto

[rick325]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I simply cannot find an answer.

Current situation:
a) Moving away from AppleTV/XBMC to PCH A-110
b) Currently using YAMJ for movies
c) iTunes library, playlist, coverart, etc. centrally stored on a NAS
d) iPhoto library, albums, events, etc. centrally stored on a NAS

I can get my PCH to stream (from file structure) the iTunes (all converted to MP3) and iPhoto content. However, the PCH does not natively interpret the iTunes playlists nor does it understand my iPhoto albums. This is causing "spousal-rejection" of my transition.

I don't want to run another PC as a bridge, nor do I want to have to keep any of my Mac's "on" to serve content.

I was wishing that YAMJ could produce killer looking HTML pages for my iPhoto and iTunes content, so that I'd have a good UI for the albums and playlists. It doesn't. Is there another (or 2?) jukeboxes that scan and index the iPhoto and iTunes content?

Thanks in advance!

You could try Music Jukebox, which is like YAMJ but for audio.
It enables you to import your iTunes Playlists, but there is no dynamic update of these.

Works really well for me. I have all my music on my NAS, which is the iTunes music library for the various PCs around the house, and also the repository that the PCH looks to when playing music.
