MOVIE JUKEBOX - XML SEARCH FUNCTION
The MED600X3D has a built in XML Search facility that will allow you to sort and arrange your Movie
Collection by pre defined xml filters. The XML Search can be used with content on the internal Hard Drive,
external USB Hard Drives, Samba and NFS Network shares.
Library Preparation for XML Search operation
The Media Library must conform to the Mede8er standard with all the relevant movie file information in it’s
own folder. A typical folder will contain - Video File - Folder.jpg - About.jpg - XML File - Subtitle file. Once you
have arranged your Video Collection into individual folders you can use Windows - Y2M (YAMJ To Mede8er)
or Thumbgen / Mac - DunX2Mede8er to scan the folders to make the requires images and xml files.
Scanning your Library
In order to provide XML Search functionality the MED600X3D must scan your library and build a Database
file. To scan your library you must focus on the Root Folder of your library and press the ‘Menu’ button and
then select ‘Add to Favourite’ option. Open the Favourite screen and focus on the shortcut and press the
‘menu’ button and select the ‘Scan’ option. The MED600X3D will start the scan process and Scan all folders
and sub folders in order to build the dBase file. The scan criteria is to only include folders that have a valid
Y2M/ Thumbgen / DunX2Mede8er XML inside. The folder depth level is not limited in the MED600X3D
firmware but the path of the string cannot be longer than 512 characters and the max number of sub folders
cannot exceed 4096. The Database file ‘Mede8er.db’ will be save to the root of the folder that has been
scanned. Network shares must be ‘Write Enabled’ for the scan process to complete. If new content is added
to the root folder then the scan operation must be repeated. Scanning time is quick and it should take about
30 seconds to scan +- 1000 movie folders.
Note: The Maximum amount of Movies in one Database is currently +- 2000. If you scan a library with more
movies than 2000 then the operation of the xml Search can become erratic and you may experience that the
MED600X3D often crashes.
