    Hi
    For my old Mediaplayer, I had to name the files:
    /movies
    /movies/movie.mkv
    and
    /tv series
    /tv series/Buffy – The Vampire Slayer (1997)/Season 01/Buffy – The Vampire Slayer (1997) - S02E03.mkv
    Is there something similar for Z1000 to help it getting better scraping results?
    Thanks

    For movies, just the movie name as it appears in TMDB obviously omitting illegal characters - I generally find a dash works instead of a colon etc.

    It sometimes struggles with names that are just numbers, eg 1917 and 2012, but they are easily identified in a rematch. So:

    \\Movies\movieName\movieName.mkv

    For disc images, just name the folder correctly.

    For TV series, again, just the series name and episode number - don't add episode names as that just confuses the scraper, so:

    \\TV Series\seriesName\seriesName - S**E**.mkv

    Thank you. I'll create the movieName folders and copy the movieName.mkv to it. I think, a little batch file will do the job.

    For the TV series, put all the episodes from all the seasons in the main folder of the show if you want to get a match with the automatic scan. If you keep the season folders, you will have to use the batch editing function for each TV Serie.

    It does with the settings by default of the automatic scan (so with TMDb I guess). However, I didn't try the "Episodes" option with TMDb.
