I don't think you need Jamu for adding videos to your collection.. Once 
you have the video copied to your SG,bring up your frontend,then open 
Media Library, watch videos and browse to where you copied the 
video..Then hit the "M" key and choose "Scan for Changes" the new video 
should now be present.. Now you highlight your video and press the "W" 
key and if you have named the video properly it will download the 
metadata for the video...
