    Hi to all,

    Can someone point me to a ripping guide for the Zidoo - I own the Z1000 Pro.

    I usually rip my movie discs to movie only mkv but for concerts I had to rip to AVCHD - BDMV folders as my Oppo 103 EU would not play iso rips and for this type of disc I prefer full menus.

    Just looking for 'best method' now I've moved on to the Zidoo.

    Also, the naming of files, as my previous 4k media player was Kodi based, the Vero 4k + any "best practice" methods for the Zidoo ?

    Many thanks.

    iso or bdmv is the best format for full menu support. I prefer iso as it is cleaner from a file / folder perspective. (BTW you still find iso enabled oppo firmwares)
    For ripping I use AnyDVD HD since ages. DVDfab is also an option .... but definitely not mine

    Hi again,

    Just re-ripped a 2 disc Blu-ray as iso to try out.

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9130692/

    I placed both disc's in a folder titled Dynasties 2018 and labeled the iso's as Dynasties S1D1 & Dynasties S1D2 and it didn't scrape (if that's the correct term)

    How should I have labeled them so they do scrape correctly ?

    Many thanks in advance.

    (And apologies for my noobness)

    Scrapping of Multi Episode DVD/Blu-Ray/UHD sucks on every player include Kodi.

    I've tried it myself with Dynasties. Auto scapping doesn't work. You've to do it manually.

    Scrapper didn't match the correct TV Show

    open your web browser and enter http://<zidoo IP>:9528. In case you don't know the IP check Home Theater settings - about page

    The web frontend offers more features. Eg you are able to change disc title and add episode details from imdb
