* What is your level of success with Kroozbox? can you see the sommary pages in DB Prime and in your computer browser?
* Can you launch a movie through Kroozbox using your computer browser (Internet Explorer or the like) or is the file get downloaded or "404 Not found" ?
--- End quote ---
1. Yes!
2. Yes! file get downloaded
I was hoping that Kroozbox can run links to SMB
This feature player like that can be used with Kroozbox?
--- Quote ---•Access to network: browser of network shares (SMB, UPnP), user-defined shortcuts to network shares (SMB, NFS), links to HTTP media streams

D:\share-server\HD\Фильмы\А\Аватар (2009)\Avatar_(2009)(multi)(Remux).mkv - Yes! file get downloaded
\\Newsky-server\share-server\HD\А\Аватар (2009)\Avatar_(2009)(multi)(Remux).mkv - No. file does not run in a browser
maybe I need to configure some access (non SMB) to the player?
sorry ... Forgive me for my english: (

I've been reading Dune specification.
You don't (should not) need smb protocol to play your movie through Kroozbox. Kroozbox can be configure for it but it would be a long road to make it work.
From what you told me here - Kroozbox should work. I suspect some type of right access to the file.
We need to know your network layout for this...
Please provide more details on your configuration:
* Is Kroozbox running as a service - for now you should make it run with STARTME.bat.
* Where are the movie file located? on the Dune machine directly? on a dedicated network machine/nas.
* Is Kroozbox running on the same machine where the movie files are located (\\Newsky-server) ? if not, where is it running in regards to Dune and movie file location?
* Are you using PVD program on the same machine where the movie files are located? I suspect the anser is "no" but need to be sure.
* Is "\\Newsky-server" the Dune machine (that has an internal hard disk)?
* You do see the Kroozbox interface on the Dune machine - only the movie doesn't play. Right?
You are saying that the movie get downloaded when you click on the play link in Kroozbox interface in the browser. It means that it should also work with the Dune machine. I am puzzled.
Really need more information on your configuration/layout. There are a zillion way to install all this.
Thanks,
Nono

Ok should be easy enough.
Soooo, isn't there a machine missing here!? if I understand, you also connect to your "newsky-server" from another machine running PVD client from where you populate your PVD database. I suspect this since the link in kroozbox have a pointer to the "\\Newsky-server\" .
(aka.: http://172.18.0.13:9013/&media=%2F%2FNewsky-server%2Fshare-server%2FHD%2F%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%82%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BC%D1%8B%2F%D0%A8%2F%D0%A8%D1%80%D1%8D%D0%BA%20%D0%9D%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B0%20%282010%29%2FShrek_Forever_After_%282010%29%28multi%29%281080%29.mkv)
If you would use the PVD client on newsky-server it would normaly point to the d: drive. Anyway, not a big deal.
FYI. The play link that you should see in your browser should point to http://172.18.0.13:9013... - that's kroozbox. But the info link after the "&media=" part should be the path of the movie as seen by Kroozbox (since Kroobox will be the server - not as seen by the dune or any otehr machine).
Basically, instead of seing the link http://172.18.0.13:9013/&media=%2F%2FNewsky-server%2Fshare.... we want to see something like:
http://172.18.0.13:9013/&media=D:\share-server\.... or encoded as http://172.18.0.13:9013/&media=D%3A%2Fshare-server%2F....
Solution to force change the link in Kroozbox without changing the link in the PVD database:
Open the file PVDLinkRelocation.properties located in your template root.
Add the lines:
\\Newsky-server\=d:\
%2F%2FNewsky-server%2F=d%3A%2F
\\Newsky-server\=d%3A%2F
Here I'm putting all the combination of coded/not coded so we are shure to get proper results (but its the second line that should do the trick in your case).
Save file. Restart Kroozbox. Test. Check link in browser to confirm - don't forget to reload/refresh Kroozbox page on the dune machine too.
That should work.
Let me know.

Hi
I have just downloaded your jukebox for the first time and have now tried to get it to work and i think
i have come a bit on the way. I have installed the service and now i can see the jukebox
in the first meny of my A110 (upnp works). I start that and i can see the sample of the PVD file.
So far so good i believe.
Now i want to see my movies in the PCH and if i have understood correct i must create my own
PVD file of my movie library, but how do i do that?
The command java - version is working from a comand prompt. (ver 6.0)
I have tried to start the file startme.bat but i recieve this error (not sure if i must do that)
C:\Users\kotten>java -cp ./library/Kroozbox.jar;./library/jaybird-full-2.1.6.jar

I belive if i can create a pvd-file all is working i hope.
I have two different ways of watch movie on my PCH.
1. Internal HD (only temporary movies)
2. A share is mapped from PCH to my PC there i have most of the movies
