How to Identify Unidentified Movies & TV Shows
Even if your files are not named correctly with the name of the film (or TV show), Zappiti can identify it
but only if a Zappiti user previously identified it manually. If you are living in a country where Zappiti is
not yet popular, which could happened often at the beginning, mostly if you are using a Zappiti NAS
Rip because the generated files are rarely named correctly. But day after day, Zappiti Db will become
more and more reliable as users will manually identify files of movies and TV series.
Press
MENU
of the RC and select
X to Identify
. You’ll see the list of the files that are not identified. Then,
click on the button named
Identify...
On the
Identify window
, please enter again the movie name.
You can also enter the IMDb, TMDb or TVDb ID code to identify your movie or your TV show. On
TMDb, TVDb or IMDb, the ID code is located in the URL of the movie page. For instance, the URL of
the movie "Metropolis" will be "http://www.imdb.com/title/
tt0017136
/". Enter the ID number
"
tt0017136
" into the field instead of the title name. Then press the "Search" button. Zappiti will find the
right movie at 100%. If your movie or TV show does not exist on TMDb or TVDb, you can add it by
creating an account on it.
3D, 4K and UHD Files
The 3D BD ISO, UHD ISO and 4K ISO files as well as BDMV folders for 3D and 4K UHD cannot be
always identified automatically. In this case, to identify these containers, please add the following tags
in the name as follows:
3D Files:
"3D". (For exemple: "Metropolis.3D.iso").
UHD Files:
"UHD" or "ULTRAHD" or "ULTRA-HD". (For exemple: "Metropolis.UHD.iso").
4K Files:
"4K" or "4096" (For exemple: "Metropolis.2160x4096.iso").
How to Change a Picture (Poster or Background)
To change the poster or the background of a movie or TV show, press
MENU
button of your remote
control, then click on
Change the picture
option using

button of your Zappiti remote control. Then,
click on the poster or background of your choice. If you see a Zappiti Db banner, it means that this
picture is part of Zappiti movie cover database. If you have installed Zappiti Video on a Mac or PC, you
can find additional option on this window that allow you to add a picture from your hard drive.
Zappiti Templates
To change the graphical template or to use the classic display from the previous version of Zappiti
Video (Zappiti Media Center), please go to

.
To change the graphical template of the home page (Video / Explorer / Music), press the

Multiple Hard Drives
Zappiti Video is able to mix the content of several sources. For instance, one collection can contain
movies located on 2 hard drives and one NAS. If you are using multiple hard drives, Zappiti is able to
detect if the drives are accessible or not. When you launch a movie but the drive containing the movie
is not connected, Zappiti will show a popup window asking to insert the dedicated drive.
