YAMJ & Playon!HD - first trial release (update: release 4 out now)

AC Ryan Playon!HD is proud to be the first Realtek-based mediaplayer works with YAMJ.

Ever since the Playon!HD support for YAMJ was first demo’d at exhibitions in Singapore and Netherlands, the community has been eagerly awaiting to get their hands on it. The first implementation is now available for download on the ACRyan.com/forums for our to try out and feedback. Be warned though, it is only the first trial release, purely for the technically brave.

What is YAMJ? YAMJ, short for Yet Another Movie Jukebox, is a software that runs on your computer (not on the Playon!HD). It searches your movie collection, grabs movie information (cover, summary etc) from various sources on the internet and collects them into a Jukebox view. YAMJ first started life humbly as a little program made for own use, then shared with the community and has now since grown into the community’s favorite and most well-known movie jukebox software, with a team of volunteer programmers solidly backing its development.

The addition of YAMJ support on Playon!HD is another step forward for the community, a win-win that brings more users and developers together. As YAMJ is an ongoing community development, your support will help go a long way. Do visit the Playon! Community Development YAMJ subboard on the ACRyan.com/Forums to share your ideas and show your support. While you are there, do drop some praises and thanks to Omertron (the founder & lead developer of YAMJ) and his team for devoting their time to bringing YAMJ to the world.

ps. for those of you “in-the-know” and awaiting to check out firmware based on the new Realtek SDK3.0, this YAMJ first trial release is it – SDK3.0! Another first for AC Ryan :-)
