Zidoo Z10 Pro can´t find all movies

Hello all,
have unfortunately found nothing in the search, so here is my question:
I have the Zidoo Z10 Pro, I am very satisfied, only he does not find many of my movies, although they are all spelled correctly. I can change the posters manually, that's not the problem, but many movies he does not find at all.
My example: 136/178 films scanned, 42 films are missing. 30 of them I can edit manually, the remaining 12 are not findable.
Does anyone have a tip for me? The movies in the explorer are all there.
Thanks a lot

 

Can you give a few examples of file names that do not scrape?

 

Hello RSQuattro, welcome to the forum.
Zidoo Home Theater uses themoviedb for scrapping. Please check if a manual search gives you a match.

 

here the examples:
John Wick Kapitel 3
Der Hobbit Eine unerwartete Reise
Der Herr der Ringe Die Gefaehrten
Der Hobbit Smaugs Einoede
Der Herr der Ringe Die Zwei Tuerme
Der Herr der Ringe Die Rueckkehr des Koenigs
Rambo 5 Last Blood
3 Engel fuer Charlie
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Star Wars Episode III Die Rache der Sith
etc.

I changed the language from German to English but success

 

Manual it gives a match, but for example John Wick Kapitel 3 is not found as a movie at all

 

It's weird because I got matches

 

I'll recheck with auto scrapper

 

For now I can just confirm that's something not working as expected. I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

 

I might be wrong here, but I think the TMDB API uses translation rather than the official German titles for movies.

This wouldn't account for titles such as "John Wick Kapitel 3" which is a direct translation, but it might for something like "3 Engel fuer Charlie" where a direct translation would be "Charlie's Engel"

 

The TMDB API uses language attribute

This is the request from the scrapper
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search...+hobbit+eine+unerwartete+reise&language=de-DE

From the result the scrapper should find the movie but it doesn't

 

It all depends on the filename -> themoviedb title matching

Der Hobbit - Eine unerwartete Reise (2012)
John Wick Kapitel 3 (2019)
Rambo - Last Blood (2019)

 

3 Engel für Charlie (2000)
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019)
Star Wars Episode III - Die Rache der Sith (2005)

 

Auto Scrapper is not working.
But the main problem is that he can't find about 20 movies at all. These are also not found in the overview or unscanned

 

My recommandation is to skip the internal Home Theater scrapper and to use tinyMediaManager.
To give you an idea how tinyMediaManager and Home Theater works together

This is my starting poing

Run tinyMediaManager. After first start it will guide you throught setup.
select all and right mouse






First movie is not clearly


select first movie and right mouse



press Search






make sure in the Home Theater settings to check
NFO Parse to Precedence (Preferentially parse NFO files) and Use local images first




rescan the source

 

I guess I've missed your point. These 20 doesn't show up at all. For any reason Home Theater skips them. It might be the file type, file curruption or ...

 

Ok thanks for the help. I will try and let you know!

 

I've clean up my posts and replaced all screenshots by an English version to make it easier for others to follow

 

Hello,

since the last 3 fw, the scan has improved, if the titles of your movies are named as on the tmdb and tvdb website there is no problem with ht4
whether in English or French on my side.

for information: TVDB will soon pay and they will abandon their current API in March 2021. After that, it's either the companies that pay for a license, or it will be the user and it will be the same for TMDB, I'm curious to know what will zidoo do?

see you

 

tinyMediaManager is in negotiation with TVDB for license fee. I'm not aware of any plans the TMDB API will not be available for free.

 

for now, but it will come...
