    Where is the metadata information (cover art, movie info, etc.) for your movie collection stored once it is scraped from TMDB? Is it on the Zidoo itself in it's internal storage/memory, or in a user-specified location on a hard drive in your PC?

    If on the Zidoo, is there enough storage for the metadata for 2,500 movies?

    The database, I don't know the path to get access to it. For the posters, the logos and background images, they are all stored by default in an hidden folder named ".HomeTheater" and located on every source. To access to that folder in the Media Center, you have to go in the hidden menu to the right and to open "Settings", the last option. Activate "show hidden files" and ".HomeTheater" will appear in the list of the folders for every source connected to your Zidoo.

    As long as you use the default settings to manage the images, you can delete this folder with all the images inside if you want: The Zidoo will recreate it automatically as soon as you will open HT4.0. It will download the images once again when you access to the detail pages and stuff like that. That also means that you won't have any issue to store the images for 2500 movies, as they are all stored on your different sources (NAS, HDD...)
