So testing has gone well with the test data. A few mismatches though so the more data the better if anyone else could send.

[mikinho]

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll move it to the first post later today after I make it compatible w/ Home Start Edition (another request).

Afterwards I most likely won’t release an update until Media Browser update is ready unless it is a bug.  It should be this week but who knows.

Attached is a W7 installer that hopefully gets rid of the SP1 requirement properly this time.

Here is the log file. Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

Sigh. Looks like I only updated the unattended install to remove the SP1 requirement.

So either use the unattended command line option, /Q:A, or I’ll make a new installer in ~1 hour

I am still getting an error that yammm_setup_w7_13_10_26_0827.exe can’t install on Windows 7. Are you sure the SP1 restriction has been removed?

Can you post or e-mail me the install log when it fails?  %TEMP%yammm-….log

I had someone else confirm. I can setup a non-SP1 VM tomorrow to confirm myself though. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

[mikinho]

How is the stability? Good enough to consider not beta?

BTW, Installer does not correctly detect my previous install location

[/quote]

Thanks, fixed. It will two 2 updates to notice though as the installer needs to save the location for the next installer to use.

Ok, so a re-install solved that issue, and now its working fine.  BUT, it now doesn’t seem to be downloading cover art.  Actaully, that’s not 100% tru, I’ve got two images in my cache folder (out of about 400 films), and nothing showing in Media Center.  Even the older files which already have folder.jpg images in them are no longer getting throug to media center.

Do you use a proxy?  Please do the following…and please let me know if you need more thorough walkthrough.

1- Start an administrative command prompt

2- Run CD %ProgramFiles%Yammm 

3- Run sc stop yammmsvc

4- Run yammmsvc.exe /debug

Are there errors?

Hi Michael. Really grateful that the Yammm finally works again! Great thanks! I’m using Windows Media Center on Windows 7. The artwork is now working, the movie posters are updating and visible. However, no synopsis available for new movie folders. The old movie folders still have metadata, and the synopsis appears. I tried to restart the Windows Media Center, restart the Yammm, but still didn’t work. Pardon me, but I don’t understand the meaning of ‘multiple dvdid.xml files’ you mentioned as I couldn’t find the dvdid.xml files within my new movie folders as you mentioned before. I don’t have the courage to run the delete command to clear all, as the previous metadata on the old movie folders are still exist. Really need your guidance. How am I supposed to do? Was there any setting that I missed? Is it possible to see the right/default setting for the YAMMM config? Where could I find it? in this forum or on the web/blog? Also, since the beginning, I tick the IMDb rating column on the setting, but it never give any rating since I started using the first version of YAMMM (1.20) few years ago. What else needed to have those rating? Really appreciate for the help.

If you have no dvdxml files in your movie folders can you confirm you have “Windows Media Center” checked in YammmConfig on th Metadata tab?

If so, first please install the latest (just updated) and then restart your computer.

Minor fixes changes.

13.10.26.0827

Update: Removed SP1 requirement on W7 installer

Fix: You shouldn’t have to restart the service after making configuration changes now

Fix: MovieArtwork & Backdrops cache not created with standalone Yammm

Fix: Using the IMDB tag as the folder name works again

[quote=obiwan]

You’ve put a ton of work into this and it’s appreciated. If it’s not too much of a pain can you release an install that doesn’t need SP1? Thanks

[/quote]

Sure. Will be there within the hour

I had changed the version and didn’t setup a redirect.

Why is it that in WMC7, some movies have only “Synopsis”, and others have that, and “Cast & Crew” and “Similar Movies” etc. 

[/quote]

Yammm adds proper cached metadata which allows Media Center to look up the additional Cast & Crew and Similar Movies sections. But it will allow show it after you go to a movie details once and then leave.  This is a limitation in Media Center.

[quote=BuddyWeiser]

And also, why is it that in the “Similar Movies” section, EVERY single movie listed says “Not In Guide”, when alot of them are in fact in my guide. For example, I have Fantastic Four in my movie guide. Under Similar Movies, it lists X2:X-Men United(which I ALSO have listed in my movies)

[/quote]

 

Its an issue with the metadata used by Windows Media Center to make the link. They design WMC to use AMC which is now owned by Rovi. Some items in the feed used by Media Center is broken.

I did find out how to replace all this behavior in Media Center but it is a larger task.

Having trouble with install. I downloaded yammm_setup_w7_13_10_22_0076.exe and am trying to install it on Win7 Ultimate 64bit but get error message from installer that the Yamm (x64) for Windows 7 can only be installed on Microsoft Windows 7. Any thoughts why? .Net4 client profile is installed.

[/quote]

It also requires SP1 on W7. No technical reason other than SMB on W7 SP0 sucks. Lots of fixes and performance improvements in SP1.

If you can’t update to SP1 I’ll release an updated installed ASAP.
