Xtreamer Movie Jukebox

The Jukebox needs a correct file (movie) name in order to fetch the information from a server.

Please note that you will need to prepare your Media Library before using the full Movie Jukebox
functionality.

We recommend you to go over your media library and movies folders and perform 2 tasks

(1)

Rename your movies to english names and give each movie a simple name

Example : Avatar (2010) , Battleship (2010) etc

(2)

Create a separate folder for each movie.

You can use this wonderful little utility to do this :

Auto Folder Maker
