For some reason, HT seems to have stopped scanning some sources, for example I have deleted some files in the last days, but they remain here in the list. Previously when I started it, I could see it doing a refresh, it showed a scanning message at the bottom of the screen, and removed automatically posters for deleted files etc... It just doesn't do it anymore and I've not found a way to force it to rescan.

Freezes for 1-2 seconds then continues playing perfectly fine, happening at least once and sometimes twice per movie. Timing is random — not at the same point in a given file on rewatch, and not tied to any particular scene complexity (happens in both high and low bitrate moments).

What I’ve ruled out:

• Not file-specific — happens across every movie, not just certain files

• Drive health — verified 100% good via DriveDx (SMART data clean)

• Not a spin-down...

I recently upgraded my setup to a lovely UHD800 and moved my Z20 PRO 4K to the den, hoping to watch movies from it. However, it just doesn’t work.

I added it to the SAMBA server and updated sources so it sees the poster wall, but freezes when you try to watch anything. I have 1gig Wi-Fi in a small place the that’s not the issue.

Any advice would be appreciated.]]> Mon, 03 Aug 2026 10:03:57 +0000 http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/file-naming-and-structure-to-optimize-home-theater.103729/ http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/file-naming-and-structure-to-optimize-home-theater.103729/ invalid@example.com (LePiotr) LePiotr https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/125988-silo).

Essentially things are the same as before, but there are a couple of settings that have changed, for example there is no "HDMI Range" control now as this is taken care of automatically.

Also the VS10 options have changed at the behest of Dolby.

I have been trying to solve this issue for a long time without success, so I would like to know if anyone else has experienced the same problem.

My setup :

• Firmware: 1.0.95
• Home Theater: 4.3.52 (HT5)
• LG OLED G4
• Internet connection is working correctly.

The issue :

The "Auto play original soundtrack on Poster Wall" option is enabled, but no movie plays its original soundtrack anymore.
