I read somewhere that ejukebox could be setup to play video's do any of you ejukebox wizards(and I DO mean that as a compliment!) know how to do this? Thanks in advance from a frequent lurker:)

Currently, you need to play each movie in winamp while eJukebox is running for eJukebox to add it to the database. Some users have machines setup with 2 displays - monitor and a tv or 2 monitors. You can set winamp so it always displays the video full screen on the second display. From what I hear that works really well but you can also just have one display and use the winamp video window.

Yes I have a video eJukebox.

Just as Audiosoft says, you just drag the file onto Winamp and it plays it. eJ thinks it is a new song and tags it according to the filename in the database. You then go in and edit it anyway you want. Covers and everything. NVidia and ATI both make cards with twin outputs. Almost all the NVidia ones do. You set them up as "dual" so the primary display holds the eJ program and you play winamps video pane in the TV monitor. The Nvidia 6600 supports HDTV too!

Let me know if you have any questions..
