Yadis/Zappiti with unraid

Recommended Posts

Before I setup my unraid box....  I was using Zappiti on a usb connected drive to my prime.

 

When Yadis 2.0 is released I'm going to install that, and check it out as a potential replacement, using it with my new unraid box...  which should scale with my Antec 1200 server up to 38TB of data if needed.

I set up Zappiti today.  I've got two Dune D1's using it.  The Zappiti interface is awesome.  It successfully scraped all of my movies and tv shows.  The support it has for tv shows is great.  Super easy to update too.  Just open it and it automatically scans your library and then scrapes the metadata for the new additions.  Export to the Dunes and you're golden.

 

The Dunes are great as well.  The HD audio support is fantastic - it will bitstream the new codecs or decode and send out over LPCM.

Yes.  I'm using it with an unraid server (the 20 drive beast from Raj's thread) and it works great.  No issues at all.

 

The key thing is to organize your movies and tv shows so that they are under the same user share.  I set up a user share called Media and then set up a Movies folder and a TV Shows folder underneath it.  Zappiti info has to be on the same share as the files in order to work properly so I have mine saved on the media share.  My hierarchy is like so:

 

                                                             TOWER

                                                           /           \

                                                 MEDIA               Music

                                              /      |    \

                                    Movies    Zappiti  TV Shows

 

At first I had just Movies, Music and TV Shows as my user shares and couldn't get Zappiti to work.  The Zappiti folder contains the metadata and the links to the underlying movies/tv shows.  Note that you can have as many different folders as you want containing movies/tv shows as long as they are under the same share.

I've been using yaDIS since version 0.99, and it works great.  I use this same layout, but with "Index" instead of "Zappiti":

 

                                                              TOWER

                                                            /          \

                                                  MEDIA              Music

                                              /      |    \

                                    Movies    Zappiti  TV Shows

 

I'm currently using version 2.0.4, and although it has a lot of improvements, it needs a little more development before I would consider it stable.  You can read the development thread on mpcclub to follow the progress, but I think you've already posted in there.

Strange thing, its not working 100% with yadis.

i got this on my disc 2

\Movies

\Music

\Yadis

 

On my disc1

\Movies

 

Also i got following user shares:

Movies

Music

Yadis

 

The movies section has a split level 1

Movies are devided over disc 1&2 so far..

On my dune main screen i got a shortcut to the yadis folder

When i start that, everything works ok, i got covers everywhere

However 50% of the movies, when i click the cover to get to the plot page, i get a full blu screen from yadis, with no template (although scraping and exporting worked)

when i try to play the movie , he says no video is present

I believe the Dune can only open one share at a time which is why I have all my things under one share.  Can you try setting up user share and putting movies, tv shows and Yadis underneath it? 

I can try

 

So i just make another share called 'Media'

Devide that into

- Yadis

- Movies

- Series

 

make the shortcut to Media

And copy everything from the share "movies" to the share \Media\Movies

Delete the movies share

and run it?

 

But how come then that some movies do work, like it is now?

Yeah.  yannis suggested the file type structure I and the other fellow above use because the Dune can't open multiple shares.  You need to have everything in the same user share.  An alternative is to place a thumb drive at the Dune and keep the Yadis/Zappiti info on it.  You could do this if you have multiple shares with content on them.

I got another problem with the fact the dune can only access 1 user share at a time

 

setup now

 

Tower ->

1. Media

      - Movies

      - Yadis

      - Series

2. Music

3. Foto's

4. Concerts

 

Now, i wanted to change the shortcut's pictures on the front page of the dune

You can do this by adding dune_folder.txt and within a link to a icon.aai

 

The only problem is

If i do that with a shortcut to the user share Music

I don't see the icon on the mainpage of the dune.

If i make a shortcut to the fysical place of "Music" So to Disk2\Music, the shortcut icon does work!

For now its ok since i only have music on my disk2

But in the very near future that will expand to disk3 too.. so i really need a solution for this very urgent.

 

Placing everything under 1 user share is not an option for me... since i want different split levels for music, movies, concerts and foto's

 

So any ideas how i can solve this?

I don't understand why it doesn't work for you. I have short cuts on my Dune to other user shares such as "Music" and "Photos" and they work fine.

 

BTW, this is not a Yadis/Zapitti question but rather a "Dune" question so you might get better response if you started a new thread (and marked this one "solved").

I think you're not with me..

The short cuts do work on my dune! With music, photos, etc....

But the custom made icons don't !

Since you have to put those 2 files in the share... meaning dune has to open the shares to show the icons...

For the shortcut he doesnt need to do it since its stored on the local storage...

I didnt want to start another topic about it.. but its fine for me if someone wants to split this topic? starting 2 posts up here..
