Title: PC Software For Film transfer to New Zidoo HDD
Post by: Melanie.Ward on July 12, 2023, 01:40:09 PM

Hi All :)

So this is a new system for me - I have had my Dune HD Duo for about 9 years but it doesn't support 4k so i am updating..  I have the software Zappiti on my pc and the Dune player so transfering my films from my PC to the old Dune player was quite easy - Does this Zidoo have similar software ? how do you transfer film's over to the Zidoo Z2600 ? (i will be using a internal HDD)

hope you can all help !

thanks

Mel

All the processing is done by the Zidoo box, so just copy the media over the the Zidoo (for an internal HDD use a network share) and add the source in Zidoo Home Theatre which will take care of the rest.

Zidoo Home Theatre is quite good at correctly matching media, but if you want to do it perfectly see here for best conventions for media file naming: https://www.mcbluna.net/wp/guide-zidoo-home-theater-media-labels/

You can edit the scraped data either on the Zidoo box or using Zidoo's web interface: https://www.mcbluna.net/wp/guide-home-theater-web-frontend/
