Installation

Main Plugin Installation Important: MediaFairy requires MediaFolders and MetadataFolders general plugins. Please make sure that they are installed on your system before proceeding with the installation of this plugin.

Download the importer from OpenMAID and save the file to your desktop. Double click the file when the download is complete, and click the Install button to install the plugin to Meedio/MeediOS.

Once the installation is complete, perform the following to create a MediaFairy import:

Open the Configuration Editor application of Meedio or MeediOS. Navigate to the Media Library tab and choose on the left the media section you wish to attach a MediaFairy import to. Please note: Contrary to how most other importers for Meedio/MeediOS work, MediaFairy's ability to update multiple sections at once means that it doesn't necessarily update the library section it is attached to. The library sections you wish MediaFairy to update are defined in the plugin's configuration screen, as we will see later in this document. Select the Imports tab and click the 'Add new import' button to select MediaFairy from the drop-down list of available importers, as shown on the screens below (frist screen for MeediOS, second screen for Meedio): :http://stashbox.org/993752/Installation%20-%20Creating%20new%20import.png: :http://stashbox.org/993765/Installation%20-%20Creating%20new%20import%20%28Meedo%29.png: Media Watcher Installation Please note: This feature is experimental and currently only available to the Meedio version of the plugin.

Please follow these steps to install the Media Watcher Windows service and prepare your MediaFairy configuration to run in single-item mode:

Create a new MediaFairy import in the section of your choice. If you already have created a MF import you can skip this step. Make sure that MediaFairy is the only import in this section. Navigate to the plugin's installation folder located at ...\Meedio\plugins\Import\MediaFairy. Inside this directory you will find a sub-folder named MediaWatcher. The image below displays the files which should reside in the MediaWatcher folder: File:Media_Watcher_files.png Extract the zip file you will find there in your ...\Windows\System32 folder as indicated by the zip file's name. Run ''InstallNETService.bat'' to install the MediaWatcher service. Enable MediaWatcher in MF's configuration screen and set your preferred settings. Run MediaFairy once to automatically configure and start the MediaWatcher service. Please Note: If you are using Windows Vista or 7 you must run the Meedio Configuration application with administrator privileges, otherwise you will have to start the service manually. Now every time a new media file is added to your defined media sources the service will run MF in single-item mode and will silently import and/or update your new media files.
