Sorry, I've just read your post... Don't know if my solution really was a good one !

As you're working on the next release, I'm sending you this "bug report" just in case of.

1) Thumbnails generation
Regarding new pictures added to the Photo folder on the PCH, as you told Wolfgang0 (end of page 5 of this topic), I've added the command line to my default.install file (the one under MJData\skins\JLRutaMJB_V1.4 directory) and launched the PhotoJukebox again: if the new htm pages have been written, none of the newly added JPG file has been converted into PNG.

could you check the debug.txt file to see what is logged in (the debug.txt file should stay under MJdata)
I you couldn't see any wrong thing
- delete the file and rerun MJB to create a new debug.txt and post the contents


I met the same problem with the command line files CreateThumb.cmd and CreateThumbAll.bat: CreateThumb doesn't generate thumbs and the option "1 : create thumbs for new files" of the CreateThumbAll.bat doesn't work either.

could you check if the path is OK - case sensitive and without any / or \ at the end

But what's quite surprising is that the option "2 Create thumbs for all files" even doesn't generate thumbs for the new added pictures . Calculation of JPG files is OK, the ImageMagick conversion seems to begin but the DOS windows quickly closes and no new directory or PNG file does appear in my PhotoJukebox\Thumb\ directory.

2) Playlists and slideshows
I've read and applied the advices you gave regarding the creation and linking of music playlists and pictures' slideshows but if both playlists and slideshows are separately working fine, the linking does not.
When launching my slideshow.jsp, I get the well known "Could not play" error message (if I can manage this error with my movie jukebox, I've found no solution with the Music/Photo jukebox ). The modification of the playlistslink.xml file with the * generic symbol (<LINK playlist="Z:\MusicJukebox\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="*" />) doesn't work either.
1 - check if the linkfile used (modified) is the one used by the MJB program, open link editor to see if your modification have been taken
2 - be sure that delete all html first is selected
3 - check the path Z:\MusicJukebox\playlists\
3 - if it's always down post playlists.xml

Hope you may have advices (answering your question: I'm running MJB R8.1 + skin V1.4)

Thanks

Please find my debug.xml (614 lines long) : http://rapidshare.com/files/392634469/Debug.xml

Same problem :
1) I've first created only one picture directory called "Petits Loups\Antoine\2005" and have generated thumbs with CreateThumbAll.bat => thumbs OK in "PhotoJukebox\Thumb\" directory.
2) I've generated my htm pages from scratch with MJB and "delete ALL html first" option checked => all htm pages with thumbs OK (lines 1 to 292)
3) I've added a second pictures directory "Petits Loups\Raphaël\Février 2010" and have generated htm pages with MJB (command line <FILECOMMAND regex=... > already added in the default.install file) => htm pages OK but no thumbs generated (lines 293 to the end)

Quote:could you check if the path is OK - case sensitive and without any / or \ at the end

No / or \ in my file CreateThumbAll.bat nor in the CreateThumb.cmd:

:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------::
:: ------------------------- VARIABLE SECTION - to customize -----------------::
:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------::

:: DEFAULT
SET FORCECREATE=1
::SET VERBOSE="False" not yet implemented
SET /A QUALITY=50
SET PhotoFolder="Z:\Photo"
SET PhotoMenuFolder="Z:\PhotoJukebox"
SET TempWork=Temp\Thumb
SET /A GTOTAL=0
SET THUMBWIDTH=122
SET TYPE="PNG"

Quote:1 - check if the linkfile used (modified) is the one used by the MJB program, open link editor to see if your modification have been taken
2 - be sure that delete all html first is selected
3 - check the path Z:\MusicJukebox\playlists\
3 - if it's always down post playlists.xml

I've done it again from scratch : same result; each playlist and slideshow works fine but the link does not. Below my PlaylistLinks.xml (the reference to this file is OK in the MusicJukebox.xml file) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Links>
<LINK playlist="Z:\Music\Menu\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="Z:\PhotoJukebox\playlists\slides_test_photo.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="Z:\Music\Menu\playlists\hobo.jsp" slideshow="Z:\PhotoJukebox\playlists\slides_Antoine_test.jsp" />
</Links>

Thanks a lot for your support

[jluc2808]

for the links be carefull because the correction proposed by mjb encounter a // which should be corrected with a single /

'file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/PhotoJukebox//Music/Menu/playlists'
to correct with
'file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK/PhotoJukebox/Music/Menu/playlists'

you can make the correction directly in the config.xml which contain the corrected entry path

for the photo generation , could you post the 2 logs
debug.xml and debug.txt (the second one is the log of createthumb)
before delete teh files to be sure that it's clean

and the path specified with CreateThumb.cmd only which is used by MJB for additionnal photo

which should be (according with the log i saw)
SET INPUT_FOLDER=%1
SET INPUT_FILENAME=%2
SET INPUT_EXTENSION=%3
SET INPUT_FILE="%INPUT_FOLDER:"=%\%INPUT_FILENAME:"=%%INPUT_EXTENSION:"=%"
SET INPUT_MENU="Z:\PhotoJukebox\Thumb"
SET PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER=Z:\Photo
call SET OUTPUT_PATH_temp=%%INPUT_FOLDER:%PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER%=%%
SET OUTPUT_PATH=%INPUT_MENU%%OUTPUT_PATH_temp%
SET OUTPUT_PATH="%OUTPUT_PATH:"=%"

Path modified. Thanks: even if I had read this file many times, I had'nt seen this double /

Quote:for the photo generation , could you post the 2 logs

Please find the first debug file : http://rapidshare.com/files/392878687/Fi..._Debug.xml
... and the second one : http://rapidshare.com/files/392878688/Se..._Debug.xml
... but no debug.txt generated (or found neither under MJData directory and subdirectories nor under Photo and PhotoJukebox directories on the PCH). How can I get one ?
Still no thumbs generated in PhotoJukebox\Thumb for the second pictures directory

Quote:and the path specified with CreateThumb.cmd only which is used by MJB for additionnal photo

SET INPUT_FOLDER=%1
SET INPUT_FILENAME=%2

SET PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER=Z:\Photo
call SET OUTPUT_PATH_temp=%%INPUT_FOLDER:%PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER%=%%
SET OUTPUT_PATH=%INPUT_MENU%%OUTPUT_PATH_temp%
SET OUTPUT_PATH="%OUTPUT_PATH:"=%"

I had SET PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER="Z:\Photo" in my CreateThumb.cmd file. I've deleted these two brackets, generated htm pages again... but nothing has changed

Regarding links, I'm getting crazy. Well, to be sure I'm doing right, could you confirm the steps I'm following ?
1) create slideshows and music playlists
2) link slideshows to playlists
3) generate HTML pages ("delete first" option checked) with MJB (generate twice, first time for music MJB and second one for photo MJB)

Thanks

could you post the contents of your default.install whici was modified to add the command line i suspect a wrong syntax

should be
<FILECOMMAND regex="^.+(\.jpg$)|(\.bmp$)|(\.gif$)" parameters="verbose" wait="true">CreateThumb.cmd</FILECOMMAND>

if debug.txt isn't already created (should be) set VERBOSE to True in the default section of CreateThumb.cmd
and try again and post both debug.xml and txt


- i did try with my own config and with the same sequence than yours and the thumb are created, so i susupect a wrong syntax somewhere

You're right, my filecommand was the same except "CreateThumb.cmd": mine was "CreateThumb". default.install file modifed yet.

Quote:if debug.txt isn't already created (should be) set VERBOSE to True in the default section of CreateThumb.cmd

This parameter is already set to "True" in my CreateThumb.cmd

Quote:and try again and post both debug.xml and txt

YOU GOT IT !! From scratch (only one pictures directory under "Photo\" and nothing more under "PhotoJukebox\"):
1) CreateThumbAll.bat => OK, thumbs created under "PhtoJukebox\"
2) Photo MJB launched => OK, htm pages generated and all thumbs visible
3) a second pictures directory added under "Photo\" and Photo MJB launched again => OK, new thumbs and htm pages generated and visible
[4) I've added a 3rd pictures directory to confirm the result => still OK ]

As a summary, main modifications I made to my files:
- in the "install.default" file : "CreateThumb.cmd" instead of "CreateThumb"
- in the "CreateThumb.cmd" file: SET PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER=Z:\Photo instead of SET PHOTO_MAIN_FOLDER="Z:\Photo"
- in the "detail.xslt" file (line 1959): <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">./Thumb/</xsl:text> instead of <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">./Thumb</xsl:text>

Will now handle with links

Thanks a lot for being so patient and helpful.

[jluc2808]

as a recap of some field
with JLRutaMJB 1.4
1 - to generate automatically thumb when running MJB as describe in the readme.txt
you need to add in default.install the following line
<FILECOMMAND regex="^.+(\.jpg$) | (\.bmp$) | (\.gif$)" parameters="verbose" wait="True">CreateThumb.cmd</FILECOMMAND>

2 - i confirm that the folder where are stored the photo inside the PCH should entered like T:\Photo without ""

3 - correction to detail.xlst to set the right way if the path are entered with and without \ at the end is the following
line 1953

replace

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="//photos/photo">
    <xsl:variable name="CurrentLine"><xsl:value-of select="ceiling(position() div $cols)"/></xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="img_path">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="contains(file,'.jpg') or contains(file,'.bmp') or contains(file,'.gif')">
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">./Thumb</xsl:text>
                    <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="substring-after(file,//preferences/pchpathtomusic)"/>

Hi Jean Luc,
I installed 2 jukebox on my PCH A-200 with your skin, one for the music and one for the photos.(2 different configurations)
The music one is working correctly but I'm having some trouble with the photos. I cannot manage to play a slideshow with music in background.
I would really appreciate ur help on that.
Please let me know what you need me to post here in order to sort it out.
Thx
Fabien

[jluc2808]

which of the both jukebox doesn't play music with photo ?
1 - post the 4 paths entered in mjb
2 - post the contains of playlistlinks.xml (the one used by the jukebox which doesn't play music with photo)

i don't really care about playing slideshows while playing music ... I'm more in Playing music while playing slideshows

Here are the 2 skins configuration that I'm using :
Skin: JLRutaMJB_V1.4Music
Music Folder = O:\Music\Music
Output Folder = O\Music\Menumusic
PCH Path to Music = SATA_DISK/Music/Music
PCH Path to Menu = SATA_DISK/Music/Menumusic
Skin: JLRutaMJB_V1.4Photo
Music Folder = O:\Photo\Photo
Output Folder = O\Photo\Menuphoto
PCH Path to Music = SATA_DISK/Photo/Photo
PCH Path to Menu = SATA_DISK/Photo/Menuphoto
I'm having all the datas in my PCH A-200 HDD.
playlistlinks.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Links>
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="*" />
<LINK playlist="*" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllSlides.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Bahamas.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Dallas.jsp" />
</Links>
I have only one playlistlinks.xml file into the MJData folder, am I right ?
And I have MusicPlaylistLinks.xml and PhotoPlaylistLinks.xml as well in MJData folder, here are those files :
MusicPlaylistLinks.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Links>
<LINK playlist="*" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllSlides.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Bahamas.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Dallas.jsp" />
</Links>
And PhotoPlaylistLinks.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Links>
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="*" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Bahamas.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Dallas.jsp" />
</Links>

Thanks for your help !

[jluc2808]

1 - path:

i think that the
Music Folder = O:\Photo\Photo
Output Folder = O\Photo\Menuphoto
need to be
Music Folder = O:\Photo\Photo\
Output Folder = O:\Photo\Menuphoto\
with : and \ at the end
and
PCH Path to Music = SATA_DISK/Photo/Photo
PCH Path to Menu = SATA_DISK/Photo/Menuphoto
need to be
PCH Path to Music = SATA_DISK/Photo/Photo/
PCH Path to Menu = SATA_DISK/Photo/Menuphoto/

with / at the end (look just at the post before i have a bug when the folder doesn't end with /


2 - playlistlink:

look inside the configuration you are using for photojukebox (notepad) to see what playlistlink you are using
if it's PhotoPlaylistlinks.xml
suppress the 2 lines
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Bahamas.jsp" />
<LINK playlist="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists\AllMusic.jsp" slideshow="O:\Photo\Menuphoto\playlists\slides_AllArtist_2008_Summer_Dallas.jsp" />

they are not needed because you have already associated all your slideshow with AllMusic.jsp

open the config.xml used with your skin (notepad) and take a look at the end, you should have :
<CORRECTEDPATHS>
<PATH calculated="O:\Music\Menumusic\playlists" corrected="file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/SATA_DISK/Music/Menumusic/playlists/" />
</CORRECTEDPATHS>
this line because from an adverstising - the first time MJB encouter the path which tranform the PC ptah in PCH path , if you don't look very carefully there is some duplicate folder inside which need to be corrected - you can correct the path directly inside the config.xml

3 - skin

inside the folder MJData > skins > Skin: JLRutaMJB_V1.4Photo
open (notepad) default.install
be sure that this line is inside :
<CONFIG setting="AllMusicExists" value="True" />

this line allow the association with allMusic even if the folder or the playlist isn't already created , when you run MJB

if not add then line and rerun MJB with delete all html first selected

hope this help - give me a return

Removed

correctpaths was incorrect, I probably manually changed it before with a wrong one .... I changed it the way you said

3 - skin

open (notepad) default.install
be sure that this line is inside :

That was already correct

IT WORKS !!! I don't know which modification made it work (I would say the correctedpaths)

hope this help - give me a return

Thanks a lot !!

Take Care !

glad to known that, enjoy your jukebox

[mossywell]

Thanks for the skin.
Having spent a long time getting this working - I'm just about there, but, I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to have multiple rows in the photos detail page?
2. I notice that when a thumbnail is selected and then the mouse moved out, it doesn't resize back again. That said, I don't like that popup caper anyway, so how do I disable it?
   

Cheers!

perhaps i don't understand your question, but yes within mjb , in detail page

yes inside mjb, in detailpage uncheck popout menu.
