Music jukebox

[NitrOs]

Hi Guys

Got my PBO a week ago, been reading these forums non stop.. got some great video jukebox and video wall setups, but there doesn't seem to be much for music.

I'm looking for something like wmc, or xmbc.. any suggestions or pointers in the right direction?
My music or stored on a uPNP server, and would like a nice gui with album art etc. for listening.

thanks
NitrOs

Hi Buddy, I've found this, but not sure if is OK, and i don't know how to install, maybe one of this PBO gurus can help us. I have my PBO with movie wall too working terrific, but something is missing...guess what music jukebox, anyway I've found this guy, check the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9NhGrOoII0
here's the link:
http://playon.unixstorm.org/installation.php
and here's the code:
1. Copy contents of usr/local/bin/scripts/DMD_RMJ/ directory to /home/scripts/DMD_RMJ/

2. Copy contents of tmp_orig/www/cgi-bin/ directory to /tmp/www/cgi-bin/ and /tmp_orig/www/cgi-bin/

3. Add following items into /home/scripts/menu.rss:
<item>
<title>DMD RMusic Jukebox (Album)</title>
<link>/home/scripts/DMD_RMJ/RMalbum.rss</link>
<media>/home/scripts/DMD_RMJ/rmjukebox.jpg</media>
</item>

<title>DMD RMusic Jukebox (Random)</title>
<link>/home/scripts/DMD_RMJ/RMusic.rss</link>
<media>/home/scripts/DMD_RMJ/rmjukebox.jpg</media>
</item>

4. As usual, you DON'T HAVE to reboot.


but not even a clue, let's see if somebody can figure out.

Cheers

This will work fine with the playOnx! firmware but would requires some adjustment to work on official/semi-official firmware. Changes required are minor however. Just too darn busy right now to get into it.

Give me a few days.

Cheers!!!

I knew it, that a smart guy can help us, as I've told you my PBO, is running a semi official firmware, I have the movie "jukebox" working really good, love it, it was easy too install even for my, not good in pc stuff, but anyway this one I have no idea, and tired of read so many post, so any help will be very very appreciated. Thanks in advance

Ok here's a quick and dirty script (no error checking) that should work fine on PBO semi-official firmware and any not so official that uses the Yaffs filesystem. In other words any firmware that allow writing into. If this script fails then you either:

1) Not enough room left for the required files
2) Firmware is not using yaffs
3) Something else I did not think of .

You still will need to edit your menu.rss file yourself this script only takes care of the installation of the files in the proper location. So to install the files just telnet to your PBO and enter the following command:

# cd /tmp && wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15169815/PBO/DMD_juke_inst.sh && sh DMD_juke_inst.sh

After that add the following lines to your /usr/local/bin/scripts/menu.rss file between other existing <item></item> tags using vi or whatever else you prefer. Personally for a lot of addition I prefer to copy the menu.rss to the HDD and edit the file there (network) and then copy it back onto /usr/local/bin/scripts/ directory.

If you need further instruction just let me know.

Ok the music jukebox seem to be working good but for some reasons some of the graphics at the bottom do not show in the directory selection of the jukebox. When you first start the jukebox you need to setup the directory where your music is located. Just use the navigation to select the directory then press the "repeat key" on the remote to set it. The jukebox should start playing the music in that directory.

Here's a link to help with the operation: http://geekyhmb.niloo.fr/comment/3788 ; it's in French but you can use google translate if you do not understand French. Just skip the part about the installation it refers to another player.

Pretty much!!! You will also need to edit your /usr/local/bin/scripts/menu.rss and add the new <items> after the files have been installed. By the way which firmware are you using??? I Just want to make sure that you will be able to do this with your firmware.

Cheers !!!

This music jukebox should work fine an any of those two firmware; I am actually running the P70R2 (BCN) and it works fine. Beware I think that the scripts were moved on the megapack. Make sure you edit the correct menu.rss.
