Actually there are few way to do this. Just press Help icon on NMJ to do the editing.
Others way, installing NMJToolBox applications from CSI. NMJToolBox is a Windows editior for NMJ.

Thanks.

Thanks. I know where to edit already but editing via the player a bit troublesome. May be I should try NMJToolBox. By the way, what is CSI? How to aget it from?

Thanks.

I don't think it's that difficult
Basically you just need to make ex3 partition(for Csi/ipkg) and NTFS for your data.
Like I said I haven't tried it with HDD since I'm too lazy to format my existing hdd
Which is why I prefer USB device.
Be sure to follow the instructions for 200 series and not the 100 series.
Here's a wiki page with more detailed instruction and pics

http://www.networkedmediatank.com/wiki/ind...t_a_HDD_to_Ext3

Have you tried installing any app from NMT Community Software Installer?
*
Thank you so much, sifu for the above links.
Would it be formated my HDD? How about I would like to retain my contents? I just want to install NMT with my contents together.
For the NMT I heard it before but never try yet.

Obviously you're gonna need to backup those media files first if you want to create partition for both ext3 and ntfs since it basically formats your hdd.

I got almost 1TB of contents, left only a few GBs.

I got the popcorn A210 to replace my not-so-good xtreamer few weeks ago.

After a week of usage, I'm pretty satisfy the A210 performance, although the first one get faulty but quickly replaced with a new unit from the supplier.

Overall, the features and performance of A210 is pretty much better than xtreamer. of course it is not fair to compare it with xtreamer as the A210 price is 75% more expensive, but at least popcorn is able to delivery it, unlike xtreamer, telling you they have the features but couldn't deliver it or having problem to deliver.

The popcorn has the following features which I think are much better than xtreamer
1. YAMJ jukebox support
2. Bluray interactive menu support
3. High bitrate Full HD BDISO and BDMV playback via 100Mbps wired network
4. Beautiful GUI
5. MKV simple menu support
6. MKV PGS subtitles support

YAMJ with eversion flash skin

Thanks in advanced.

You could also try SabishGT skin, it's basically a pimped up version of Aeon
With other features borrowed from other skins
Also comes with an optional index page, looks nice  biggrin.gif

The really simple guide:

Get YAMJ(obviously)

Download your preferred skin and place in the skin folder.
Aeon

Download mediainfo cli and place it in the mediainfo folder in yamj.

Set up your movie/series location using YAMJ GUI Config
This needs to be placed in yamj folder.

Here's a video tutorial to help you with that



user posted image

Click My_YAMJ.cmd.

It should generate jukebox folder and index.htm file

Navigate and click index.htm to access your jukebox.

Done

Here's how it should look like

To make it easier for you, here's a pre configured YAMJ with Aeon skin

http://www.mediafire.com/?sastyq3ub41y0qc

But you'll still have to configure the path for your movies folder

If you need to use other skin like Eversion, just place it in the skin folder and rename it to 'default'
There's another way where you can specify the name of the skin to be used
but I won't delve into that since renaming it to default is the easiest method.

Now, do you play your movies from network share or HDD attached to PCH?
*
I play directly from 1TB HDD. Above look interesting but need time to figure it out.
Thank you so much.

Like I said, just grab the mediafire link and configure the path to your HDD and you're done
Although you might need to install NMT apps and enable Samba share so you can access the HDD from your network
Unless you connect the A210 directly to your PC.
Hi bro,

I havent settle my nmt apps yet bcos my hdd formated in NTFS. Hope can done it this coming weekend. Any problems encountered will call for your help.

Thanks.

How do you want me to help you bro? Your question too general. Can you tell me what type of movie you are playing (BD, MKV, MOV or ....)? All the movies also like that or just a single movie?

Hi,

Regarding the subtitles, the problem happens in all movies, mkv and avi. When I turn on the subtitle, the movie stopped and cannot play the file again. I have unplug the cable to restart. Thanks
