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...

  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

Use the ''Show local trailers only'' option

  Hello, There is always a risk with any multimedia device when relying on online resources and being dependent on the good functioning of some providers. Zidoo offers you an option that allows you not to be dependent anymore. Another advantage is that in case of a problem in which you would have to rescrape your sources, everything will return to the way it was before. It will be some work to add the trailers to your movie collection but once that is done you won't have to worry about any problems with the trailer functionality. There is no one way to do it and I don't know which one is the most efficient and fastest, I'll just show you how I did it ---------------------------- First thing, I donwloaded the trailers I needed using the links below (you may not find all the trailers on one site, you may have to visit several) https://www.youtube.com/c/TrailersPlaygroundHD/videos https://www.traileraddict.com/ http://www.hd-trailers.net/ (You are free to use the way you want

3 solutions to use the ''SAMBA SERVER'' option

Image
3 solutions to have access to your Zidoo from your PC with the option ''SAMBA SERVER'' of your Zidoo device First part Here is my way to have the ZD_SAMBA available on my Network page. It's not recommended because of the lack of security as we use SMB1, but on my private network I don't think it's a problem, plus the performance would be better using SMB2... But so far all my video files and my test files like jellyfish are running without any problem. Open ''Windows features'' Go to ''SMB1.0/CIFS files sharing support'' and activate this function Reboot the computer Go to the ''Network'' page and do a refresh if needed ZD_SAMBA will appear and you will have access to your Zidoo and your storage units connected to it Obviously do not forget to activate the ''SAMBA SERVER'' in the options of Zidoo ​ ​ That's it & that's all 2nd part Here is another way to do it, it is proposed by Zido
