Origin Story:
I am a simple man with simple dreams. I want to maintain a neatly organized media library and I want to easily access my new content on my PS3 without having to drill down all the layers of structured folders.

My media consuming habits have been strewn with many manually intensive processes. I have been retrieving media and storing it in a dedicated new arrival folder, which is served with Universal Media Server. After I watch the show I move the file to a storage folder and add it to my digital library using TV Rename. This process has taken a toll on me.

So I have finally made the jump and migrated to alternative tools which have proved useful in streamlining my media consumption process. The Interfaced script is the conclusion of this process.

I am a long time fan of Universal Media Server. The tool is extremely versatile at serving all types media content to my PS3, however the only feature that I find lacking is support for functional media library indexing.

Plex is an excellent media library host and indexing tool and it happens to support DLNA. After using Plex for a few weeks I just cant get enough of the various indexing options available (Recently Added, Watched, On Deck, etc.), I just wish the Plex DLNA playback on the PS3 was better (Plex transcodes my media even when PS3 can natively play it).

So I decided that marrying the two provided the best solution that satisfies my nit-picky needs. This script is my attempt to solving a long sought after solution to a versatile Media Library and Media Server system. This has made my life easier, maybe it will do the same for you.

Infidel has provided a batch file to install all the necessary dependencies for the Jumpy plugin, however some of you have had issues with the latest installer (https://github.com/downloads/skeptical/ ... -setup.zip). I have had yet to try using his latest one so I cant comment on why its not working, you'll need to get in touch with Infidel (PMS forums). As an alternative you could try his prior release https://github.com/downloads/righteousb ... nstall.zip. Just unzip it anywhere and double-click the py27chk.bat file, which will download and install python 2.7.1 and py4j.

I have had luck with the py27-py4j-install.zip dependency installation on my system for use with Jumpy Plugin v0.2.1.

Hope this helps.

this sounds very interesting and something that i would love to try and implement, but it is rather confusing for me following the steps necessary to achieve the desired result ...i take no offense in being spoken to as a complete noob, and on that note would love and appreciate a step-by-step of how to make this work ...hell, i can't even get the plugins from the UMS interface to install ...click on one, quick microsecond small box flash and nothing has changed ...all that i read here makes my head spin with the potential, but i don't know how to make it work ...all and any help would be extremely appreciated ...if you don't want to reply here, feel free to pm me ...remember, i am Lenny and you are George ...thanks ...peace

Make sure you are running UMS as administrator
In the next version there is a reminder about that in the program

Not exactly sure where your trouble lies, if it is with trying to get the Jumpy plugin installed and the posted batch files don't work, their is a new windows executable installer that Infidel has compiled that will setup Jumpy (plugin and all its dependencies) in one fell swoop. Follow his Windows Quick Setup and we'll move on from there.

thank you ...this worked to install the plugins ...now their working correctly will take more time ...funny that i'm the only one that uses this computer and have myself as admin, Win7 Pro ...will i need to install jumpy as admin, too ...what about xbmc? ...does it need installation, as well? ...sorry for the barrage ...thanks ...peace

:edit: TED Talks have never worked for me, plus channels cat is there now but no channels to choose from

...will i need to install jumpy as admin, too ...what about xbmc?

You ought to run the Jumpy installer as admin too. The Jumpy plugin is kind of a two for one deal, it provides the ability to execute Scripts AND XBMC plugins from UMS. As for my Interfaced Script...it is unnecessary to install XBMC. However if you wish to use XBMC plugins within your PS3, by all means and install XBMC.
