Home Theater 2.0 - Tips/Questions/Tricks

OK, nice, would be also great to have a little mark on the main poster wall so that I don't have to switch in the UNWATCHED folder. Makes things much easier if you don't have to change view...

 

for me the UNWATCHED categorized is very usefull coz i dont have to look all of my movie`s poster to find which one is unwatched even if they have a watched tag in their poster
coz i have a lot of movie posters

 

UNWATCHED folder is for sure useful but sometimes I wanna just scroll through the poster wall to let me inspire what movie to watch even if I have already seen it. Sometimes I just watch the movie again because I just like it and because I have so many movies it's good to have a little mark just to remember.

 

and also have the double subtitles as in MX player. important when you are in a bilingual environment.
example: in belgium in brussels VO movies at the cinema are subtitled in french and dutch at the same time

 

Anyone knows best practices to enter tv-series which are in iso format ?? My series are all iso's. if BD i have several episodes per disc, several discs per season...etc...

Or asked otherwise, is there a guide of all theaterwall 2.0 accepted naming conventions somewhere which one can use and could help indexing/cascading ??

 

Anyone knows how to disband episodes so they have their own poster and synopsis. For example, in The Sopranos, I have a poster/folder for Season 1, but when I click Season 1 it shows just a single poster with just the A,B,C,D... as your options for episodes. I wanna be able to see the synopsis for each episode before I watch it. Is that possible?

 

maybe its all about naming the files
can you capture what you got there

 

That’s not how HT2 works, if you press a season it opens the episode guide with episodes numbered as 1,2,3 etc and each episode has its own description. Check your file naming

 

Scraping of TV series in iso format will not work. You need to split each episode out as separate files and then name them like so: Game.Of.Thrones.S01E01.Winter.Is.Coming
The websites that are used to scrape tv series info will not detail which disc contains what episodes as dependant upon the region of the disc there can be different number of episodes on it. i.e. Region A Disc 1 contains 3 episodes. Region B Disc 1 (of same series) contains 4 episodes!

 

Thanks GodAlmighty and JohnS. I followed the naming format with the periods for spaces - The.Sopranos.S01E01.The.Sopranos. Hey JohnS can you show me a picture of that episode guide you are talking about? I'll see if im seeing the same thing. Thanks!

 

So this is what you see in a season. You pick the season and then you have the episode guide at the bottom (1,2,3etc) with a synopsis of each episode plus a different image as you can see on third picture

 

Thanks...thought so. Another way I have found to do is to only scrape the first episode of the iso. Is subotimal but gives a sense to full menu support. in the case of episode splitting the navigation is per se done in theater wall and not with the disc menu..which I prefer.
It is clear that it couldn't work ..you are right...the info of episodes per disc is not available to the scraper....

 

Thanks JohnS! That is exactly what I have. So I guess what I have is standard. I was wondering whether we can separate those episodes into their own posters kinda like what you have when you choose the seasons you will play. Episode 1 with its own poster and when you click it, you can see the episode's summary. If that's not available then thanks everyone for answering my question. Appreciate it!

 

I am backing up my old DVD movies (ones that have not been release on blu-ray). I am backing them up as an ISO.

Why you play them they defult to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Could this get fixed for the next update.

 

Unfortunately, it is likely that Zidoo will not spend much, if any time fixing this as DVD is such an old format and the industry has moved on. I suspect you are in the minority which also means they won't spend time on DVD issues.

It's understandable as they will spend their effort on the newer formats or they will lose market share and thus not be profitable.
If you want a better player for DVD format I would suggest the Mede8er or older Dune players or play them from the original disc on a blu-ray or dvd player.

Not the answer you want - but an honest one :-(

 

That sucks. it's a simple fix anything outside of 4:3 (1.33:1) aspect ratio display it as 16:9

The aspect ratio of the videos I have tried are 1.85:1

I have tested it with the Kodi native player, and it works, so that is a consolation.

 

my friend has some videos download from youtube channel, its cocomelon - nursery ryhmes from ABC kids tv
cannot find any database on imdb/tmdb or tvdb
hope we can scrap it manually by downloading the poster and fanart image and make own .nfo then HT2.0 can take it for scan result

 

Can you help me guys, I have this Korean movie Sex Plate 17 (2017) but I can't get the right poster, I already tried renaming to the following names but still it says unmatched poster.

Sex plate 17
Seong-pan 17
Stage 17: Passionate Romance and Fantasy

and also I couldn't find any English subtitle. This is driving me nuts.

 

Movie scraping is done from TMDB if there is not such title in their database you won’t get any match

 

I see, then how do you deal this kind of situation? how do you put/get poster and information for the said movie? specifically for this machine.
