Prepare your Movie Library<br />

Pls read the <strong>YAMJ</strong> wiki http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/wiki/FileNaming<br />

Preparing<br />

As first step <strong>YAMJ</strong> "removes" all redundant parts from file name (file is not being renamed,<br />

<strong>YAMJ</strong> just works with name internally). The parts <strong>to</strong> be ignored are defined in the configuration<br />

file. See parameters: Skip Keywords and Version Keywords. Everything configured within these<br />

parameters is completely ignored by further processing. All "removed" keywords are counted as<br />

divider.<br />

The "-" Character<br />

The minus (-) character is a special character within <strong>YAMJ</strong> file names. It denotes the end of the<br />

scanable file name and the start of the file or episode title. Anything after the "-" will be ignored<br />

and used as the title<br />

Name<br />

Movie name must be at the first position in the file name. It can be divided by spaces, dots or<br />

underscores.<br />

Year<br />

Year must be in YYYY format (4 digits). Must be between 1919 - 2099. Must come right after<br />

movie name. Can be in square or round brackets.<br />

Languages<br />

Currently only one language supported for showing flag at the cover. However all languages<br />

from the file name are extracted and removed from possible movie name.<br />

See FilenameLanguage for more information.<br />

Multi-Part Videos<br />

See MultiPartVIdeos for information on how <strong>to</strong> name the videos with more than one part.<br />

Episodes, Seasons<br />

See TVSeriesNaming<br />

Prepare your Movie Library<br />

<strong>YAMJ</strong> does a good job of finding the correct content if you stick <strong>to</strong> the correct file<br />

naming convention. You may consider using the NFO method as it is more<br />

accurate.<br />

a Place each movie in its own folder<br />

b Create a .nfo file in each folder. To make a NFO file just save a .txt file with<br />

notepad and just rename the extension <strong>to</strong> .nfo. Use notepad <strong>to</strong> edit the nfo file.<br />

c Look up the movie details and address on IMDB.<br />

http://www.imdb.com and copy the IMDB page address in<strong>to</strong> the NFO file.<br />

d<br />

Save the .NFO file in<strong>to</strong> the movie folder<br />

e Rename the .NFO file <strong>to</strong> the same name as the movie file.<br />

f Repeat above for each movie in your collection.<br />

.NFO
