    I have the Z9X Pro and it has always (and all previous models) just scanned new files when added. If you add new file takes a few seconds to notice new file and adds it.

    Uhm, it is either a yes or a no :) Or it starts scraping from zero, or it just add's /index the new files. You should and could see that in the source screen?

    On my z9x it always starts from zero. Thats why it can take ages before you have finished the indexing of the source.

    It varies depending on how many new files are added, but only they are indexed.

    Ok, so the index bar on the source screen does not start from zero like with my z9x?

    No, no. The index bar appears only if you tell it manually to index the HDD. Maybe then it indexes the whole disc anew. But if you let it automatically detect the new files it just adds them.

    Hmm, i'm not convinced :) Since i think this is still the same concept of scraping as it was with the z9x.
    And i use always the same filenaming & .nfo used in the servarr setup. And i did lose a lot of series/folders after a while.
    And something tells me that this part is still the same.

    Hi, I'm afraid you are misunderstanding each other on the meaning of "indexing". Automatic or manual it will always analyze (scrape) all your archive from start. But it will obviously quickly skip all the already indexed titles and just take some extra time to index the new ones. Always has been like this with all my Zidoos ;)

    P.S. I have more than 1500 movies on my NAS and it just takes 1 to 2 minutes to add new titles (depends how many there are)... so, no, it doesn't take ages (maybe slow HDD in your case??!!)... and as I use the automatic adding function, I usually switch on the device and find the new titles already added once I pop into the Home Theater App.

    Indeed, and that is my point. Zidoo did not change that part. And specific that part was the reason for this customer to look elsewhere.
    I only hoped they would rewrite ( from scratch) that part, instead of just the gui/cosmetic part. They didn't.

    Good luck with this model :)

    If you read the P.S. I added a few moments ago to my comment, I really don't see the problem. I'm curious, which device handles scraping differently?

    Well, my tv shows has 3940 files, and 99.9 % correct hitrate. scanning/indexing is 20 seconds. I do not lose tv seasons anymore. Zero waiting time for posters loading.
    And if one is not found, it takes 4 clicks. Same socket.
    Since that whole matching part is a totally different ballgame, and the reason me think is a different OS that is handling that part.
    The Source used here is a synology, and zero speed issues on that part.
    Now, unlike some others here i'm not into the fanboy game. I'm not brand bound so not everything smells likes roses, and i have no need to trashtalk other or this brand.


    But i can assure you, there are other machines out there ( that have ofcourse other issues) that handle this specific part complete different. And imo far more efficient.

    But this is what I was curious of (really, I was not being sarcastic... I just ignore)...I see you own a Dune 8K Pro... is it him? :D

    By the way, I also have a Synology NAS... excellent choice! ;)

    Oh yes, the syno can be a pain when it comes to folder and user permissions, but if one tackles that part, it's a blazing stable workhorse! :)

    i skip the brand part, but my guess is that you are very very very close :)

    The 16 TByte limitation is real with my knowledge as it a SATA Internal/External limit.

    Using USB it will work as the USB/ATA bridge does the sector translation.
    Talking about External power you must be using USB drives only. Please don' t generalise both connection methods.

    Then you don't have V (remake) series. Zidoo flat out doesn't recognize the entire series and it must be identified manually. Every single episode.

    A few movies that Zidoo won't identify:
    Good Morning, Vietnam
    I, Frankenstein
    Monsters, Inc

    There are many more movies and I have under 1600 total.

    Zidoo doesn't like commas etc. :)

    I already mentioned it in a previous post, a more realistic date was around August 15, but I'm not saying this for Zidoo, any product, especially electronic ones, that has to be distributed throughout a large part of the world, they are not going to start training the product until they reach a minimum number of batches that Zidoo considers necessary to start serving the product to the different distributors.

    Qui in Italia il distributore Zidoo mi ha informato che i nuovi modelli saranno disponibili dal 2 agosto. Forse era troppo ottimista

    That wasn't the point. You said you don't have a single show or movie which Zidoo does not match. I gave a few examples of some which will not match. Comma, period or whatever special character might be in the title, does not matter. These few examples will not match in HT4.0 no matter how you name them. Period, pun intended. I have at least 15-20 total that Zidoo refuses to match. Plex and emby match every single movie and show in my collection perfectly. This is a Zidoo scraping issue.
