A little bit of a puzzle and am wondering either how to do it, or even if its possible.

I would like to remove all animation tv series (i.e. The Simpsons, South Park etc) from the "TV" Category and put it in a new category on its own called "Animation". I have created a category called "Animation" and added the shows that I want into that category. But for the life of me, I do not know how to remove shows from the "TV" category.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks]]> 6 Sat, 29 Aug 2026 01:51:13 +0000 http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/home-theatre-5-update-tmdb-fix-v4-3-52-realtek-1619dr-models.100383/ http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/home-theatre-5-update-tmdb-fix-v4-3-52-realtek-1619dr-models.100383/ invalid@example.com (Markswift2003) Markswift2003

I am just curious if the Zidoo Z9X applies any sort of device-side dithering, in order to smooth gradients. Apparently some of the newer coreelec devices do this (not 100%, need to do some more research.) I am fairly certain that the AppleTV does this as well. But regardless, just curious if you are aware of the Zidoo doing this.

For some background, on PC, you can apply driver-side...
