Networked Media JukeBox UI release note
=======================================
1. Steps to enter JukeBox UI
1.1 While browsing the content of any (writable) storage on sata, usb, smb or nfs,
press red (video wall) or green (music wall) or yellow (photo wall) button
(see section 2 below).
1.2 If this is first time, it will prompt for scanning of media files on
your storage device, to build the UI.
1.3 Please ensure that you are connected to the Internet as the additional
information on media files are retrieved from the web.
1.4 Press enter on "ok" and it will start scanning through the storage
for media files. After a few minutes, a progress indicator will be
displayed on top left corner. This process may take from a few
minutes to hours, depending on the amount of content on your storage.
Note: During this period, it may switch to screen saver.
You can interrupt the scanning process with the Stop button.
1.5 Once the scanning is done, it will enter JukeBox UI.
1.6 You may exit back to original ui using the same colored key (see section 2 below)
1.7 The next time you enter the JukeBox UI using the same process as step 1.1,
on the same storage, it will check whether a re-scan is required.
Otherwise, it will enter directly into the JukeBox UI.

When you enter a device and activate the NMJ, it will scan the device for video-, music- and photofiles.
You can exclude folders with different options.
As example, if you have a Yamj folder on your Device then i would place the ".no_all.nmj" into the folder,
if you don't do that it will aggregate all your images inside the yamj folder and show them on the Photo NMJ.
3.1 Exclude everything
- Create a file called ".no_all.nmj", place it on the device, or into a folder which you wanna exclude.
3.2 Exclude Videofiles
- Create a file called ".no_video.nmj", place it on the device, or into a folder where you wanna exclude Videofiles.
3.3 Exclude Musicfiles
- Create a file called ".no_music.nmj", place it on the device, or into a folder where you wanna exclude Musicfiles.
3.4 Exclude Images
- Create a file called ".no_photo.nmj", place it on the device, or into a folder where you wanna exclude Images.
