    Would it be possible to associate a source (a directory) with a category?

    As far as I know you can't but you can filter by source.

    I saw this but it does not match my organization
    On my NAS my videos are stored in a directory whose name corresponds to the type of videos
    I would therefore like to be able to associate a category with a directory

    Just checking if I understood your question correctly. You are talking about a custom categories eg McBluna and you want to assign a folder of videos to it? Screenshot_20201031-234628.png

    The gui offers only the function to assign videos to a categorie video by video. The Zidoo REST API does the same. The only "fast" way is to manipulate the database directly.

    Hello Louis,
    I'll come back to this topic as soon as possible. Since I'm working allready on a tool to transfer the data from nfo files created by tinyMediaManager or Kodi directly to the Zidoo DB, I'll add somthing like folder to category matching. The challenge is not writing the tool, it's to figure out all the possible setups that Zidoo owner might have. Eg. I have the happy scenario with one server with all the HDDs and one nfs share for the Zidoo Player. I seperate my content only by movies and tv shows. So I've to setup a virtual test environment with multi devices and folders to test as much scenarios as possible.

    Hello Oliver

    I use tinyMediaManager to scrap my videos
    In HT 4 I do a scan to read the nfo locally
    My Zidoo Z10 Pro is networked with a NAS (nfs connection) and tinyMediaManager is on a PC with Windows 10 on the same network
    HT 4 cannot recognize a video in the form: seriename - S01E01E02
    I don't know if you can correct this problem during the transfer

    Actually multi episode blu rays have been the cause I've started writing my own tool.

    My scenario was a tv serie with first season on blu ray and second season as mkv. It just didn't worked with the Zidoo scrapper.
