Hello to all the newcomers and also to those who hesitate and are one-day visitors

  Hello to all the newcomers and also to those who hesitate and are one-day visitors Today, I propose you a GIF that makes the tour of the elements that are selectable on a movie information page... As you can see with this GIF, there are... Playing the movie, using the BDmenu, seeing trailers, bookmarking it, having information about the main actors, a summary of the movie's history, etc... there's even a popup to help you name correctly the movies with several ISO, what more could you ask for... (And we take the opportunity to see the actress ''gal gadot'' at the same time) I'm repeating myself but the layout of this page was well done, it contains a maximum of information/functionality and this despite a clean and classy interface. The Zidoo team did a great job and that's one of the strengths of Zidoo devices. See you soon

You don't want to have some of your movies grouped by collection

  You don't want to have some of your movies grouped by collection For new Posterwall users who do not want to have a ''collection'' and do not know how to do, here is the procedure. Use the button ''POP MENU'' and select ''DISBAND'' I don't know if it's possible but Zidoo could add an option similar to Kodi's ''Movie Set'' in HT4.0 options. See you

You have just added one or more movies....

Image
  You have just added one or more movies to your source, HT4.0 has scanned them automatically, but the choice of posters does not suit you and those optionally available either and eventually you want Something out of the ordinary. There is a good website for that and that could suit you. I invite you to take a look at TPDB                                                                                                                         https://theposterdb.com/official Here are some examples that are to my taste and out of the ordinary but there are plenty of others, go take a look it's worth it if you want to add a touch of additional customization to your Posterwall

Unfortunately at the end of the scan....

Unfortunately at the end of the scan you realize that Ht4.0 has not grouped some of your movie collections for some reason. Here is my way to fix the problem, maybe there is a faster way but I don't know it.

Happy you just added a new TV show ...

  Happy you just added a new TV show in your source and you launch the scan... unfortunately Ht4.0 doesn't find it or is completely wrong... In this example I add a documentary category but after the scan of my Documentary folder the season 1 of the ''Tiny world'' is not correctly recognized and I find myself with a very ugly thing called ''Dancing Diamond''... No panic, here is my way to correct the problem and at the same time finish the creation of my category (Widget) The GIF is a bit long because I show the scan of the folder, the correction of the errors, the addition of the widget and the change of the icon.

Are you a fan of Marvel movies like me...

  If that's the case, you might want to gather all your Marvel movies to create a ''Marvel Cinematic Universe films'' collection ? PosterWall's customization possibilities are enough to modify and adapt your movie collection to your needs, exactly the way you want! Here is an overview of what can be done to group collections together and change the chronological order of movies. --- First step, disassemble the collections that have been created by Posterwall during the scan of your source with the option ''Disband'' using the key ''POP Menu'' of the remote. In this example I choose the 2 following collections, ''The hobbit'' and ''The lord of the rings''. We can see the 6 movies that are no longer part of a collection. I choose one of the 6 movies and use the key ''POP Menu'' of the remote, I select ''Add to collection'' and ''New collection'', I invit

PosterWall (HT4.0) some options...

Image
  Once your sources are scanned go to the Posterwall options/customization page and select the options that suit you best. -------- When you use the''WALL''  view  and moving to the left of the screen a menu with shortcuts appears -------- Depending on your preference, the  ''WALL''  view  of PosterWall can display 70, 44, 24 and 10 movies on the screen. Personally I display 24 movies which seems to me a good compromise. In addition, it has an option of sorting by alphabetical order, rating, added date, etc... -------- HT4.0 offers 2 additional views that I call the ''Shift'' view and the ''List'' view. -------- In the movie collections and if necessary, you can move the posters to the left or to the right with the directional cross on the remote control by selecting and clicking on the icon at the top right of the screen. For those who like me, complain about not having the Star Wars saga in order, Zidoo offers you the po

Posterwall (HT4.0) First Part

  PosterWall (HT4.0) is part of the Zidoo platform, this movie poster management system is designed to exploit the maximum possibilities of their devices and thus see your movies in the best possible conditions. -------- Zidoo offers us a system for managing our video library that combines a modern interface with many customization options while maintaining an ease of use that will appeal to the uninitiated who are new to the Zidoo ecosystem. Here is a photoshop montage of the main page ''complete'' Posterwall (HT4.0), as you see it can be customized according to your priorities. ----------------------------------- Here are some videos showing different options available with PosterWall, there are many others that I let you discover by yourself. I hope this will give a good idea about the possibilities of Posterwall (HT4.0) for new or future users of Zidoo devices. I put a little explanatory comment for each video, I am not an expert, so please bear with me. Thank you N
