    I'm a UHD3000 noob trying to learn Poster Wall functionality. Is there a guide?

    I'd like to understand the Settings better. I'd like to know if the "Poster Wall" software goes by some other name.

    I plan to add HDDs with thousands of Movies and TV series', but first I tried adding a directory via SMB. (I added the wrong one, then Deleted it. Then I added the right one several times, and each time it kept scanning the previous wrong one. Even after I selected "Cleaup" and then "Remove". Even after I delete all Sources, it was still scanning something. Then finally I powered the UHD3000 off then on; I see that resolved it. I recall encountering same need to powercycle when configuring SMB; I guess powercycling is a UHD3000 need.)

    I was astounded to find that all dozen items in my test folder were identified perfectly. Even though I've never used any syntax like
    Moviename (Movieyear)
    , preferring to keep original download-filenames. I was afraid that I and my carpal tunnel was was about to deeply regret that. (What a wonderful experience so far, coming from the PCH A-500's NMJ.)

    Still, before scanning my HDDs full of content, I'd like to study up since I'll certainly need to tweak some stuff. Thanks in advance!

    Sometimes with TV eps where you have for example Eureka - S03E05 'Show Me the Mummy'.avi Posterwall sometimes might interpret 'Show Me the Mummy' as a separate title especially if there is a movie by the same name. Worse if you had a download from a "certain source" example ".REAL.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION" with all those names etc, can cause difficulties, less so I've noticed with the latest firmware. Anyway I name my files simply Eureka S03E05.suffix (mkv, avi, mp4 etc)

    Thank you very much, Netmask! (I'm so glad I got the UHD3000!)

    Is there some syntax (like putting the stuff in the example in [brackets]) that gets Posterwall to ignore stuff?
    Thank you very much, rozel!
