Eversion supports different settings for different hardware players. You can change any setting on any player for a different experience with 1 YAMJ+Eversion setup and Jukebox. This guide covers the basics needed for the bare minimum differences for PCH+POPBOX or POPBOXES with different remotes. The methods to setup the special settings file are the same even if all your players match and you only want to adjust other Eversion settings.

INFORMATION WE WILL NEED

There are special configuration files when you want to change settings on a per hardware device basis. You only need to gather this information from your players that you need to make custom changes too. If you are trying to change settings for the entire house, you should use the instructions found in help:settings.

If your doing this from the install guide, you only need the settings from all the players that did not match the all in one package you downloaded. For example if you downloaded the PCH version but also have popboxes, you only need to get info from the popboxes. If you have different remotes, you only need the info from the popboxes that did not match the remote type you downloaded.

On all the players you need to change settings for, go into the settings section of the player and select network. You will need the mac address that appears on the screen. For example: 00:06:CC:F3:92:8A

OUR EXAMPLE SETUP

We have used the following:

  • PCH with mac address: 00:06:CC:F3:92:8A
  • POPBOX Small Remote with mac address: 00:06:DD:ED:92:1A
  • POPBOX Large Remote with mac address: 00:06:FF:00:94:66

We will be setting up the following:

  • PCH added to an existing POPBOX YAMJ Setup.
  • POPBOX with a small remote added to a PB Large remote or PCH Setup.
  • POPBOX with a large remote added to a PB Small remote or PCH Setup.

Where to add the settings?

The settings go into the Eversion folder in your YAMJ setup. In our install example we used C:\YAMJ for our YAMJ Install folder. The settings will be saved to C:\YAMJ\skins\eversion\interface\eversion\settings. These settings also work with eskins so you can save the files into your eskin folder also.

You will have 1 file per hardware device with custom settings. That filename format is (macaddress).xml.

Example setup filenames:

  • PCH filename: 0006CCF3928A.xml
  • POPBOX Small: 0006DDED921A.xml
  • POPBOX Large: 0006FF009466.xml

If you need to make the files you can use any text file editor to make them. You can also just click on the samples found lower in this guide and save them to the correct location with the correct filename.

WINDOWS WARNING: Some text editors add .txt to the end of the filename, it must be named (macaddress).xml as shown above or Eversion will not find it.

Adding a PCH to an existing POPBOX Eversion setup

For this setup, we are going to make the exit the default eject button behavior and make sure the volume up/down keys are also the page up and down buttons.

macaddress.xml <settings> <exitpage>eject</exitpage> <volupdown>true</volupdown> </settings> </file>

PCH NOTE: Not all firmwares for the PCH support page up and down in flashlite applications. The firmwares starting in March 2011 do support this.

Adding a POPBOX Small Remote player to an existing setup

For this setup, we are going to make sure the exit command uses the popbox version and setup the remote control for the separate page up and down buttons.

macaddress.xml <settings> <exitpage>popboxexit</exitpage> <volupdown>false</volupdown> </settings> </file>

Adding a POPBOX Large Remote player to an existing setup

For this setup, we are going to make sure the exit command uses the popbox version and setup the remote control uses volume up and down as page up and down.

macaddress.xml <settings> <exitpage>popboxexit</exitpage> <volupdown>true</volupdown> </settings> </file>
