Looks very nice, I do have a question for you. I see that you have a folder called Blu-Ray/HD movies and New Releases. How are you getting the movies into these folders? Are you creating additional directories on your HDD's with these names or are you adding extra icons under Categories in the detail screen?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

You cannot get any better than the Intel Pro PCI-e NIC. I have 6 of them on different PC's and they are rock solid and super fast.

Attach the drives to a very cheap PC with a very good NIC and you should have no problems via network. I have 46+ drives attached to mine and all are online and I don't get a single stutter on any of them.

Same here 40+ on 1 PC, but it would be a nice extra feature if one want to expand easily.

what you need to do is install the latest version of zappiti. the latest version give you the option to replace the 5 icons with custom icons.

a bit misleading,dune wont play hd-dvd,just like the icon.
if you right click on a movie cover and edit you see this


then press the little icon above the catagories you can add genres.



zappiti adds genres itself, not always rightly

But how are you adding the Blu-Ray/HD and New Releases folders? I understand that you are creating different genres that contain Blu-Ray/HD and New Releases icons, and using these icons, you are adding these to the different movies that you have. But how are you creating the folders (the first picture on your first post) to put these movies into?

You may want a second NIC if your current NIC is a cheap/buggy/slow version like Realtek (Sorry, I hate them).

im a little bit lost,the movies are scanned by zappiti and the metadata is downloaded when you scrape,zappiti then puts the movie in each genre (not always right one),you can make new icons and replace the old zappiti ones,
then add any movie to any genre you like,for instance" new releases","kung-fu","20th century fox" etc
will you add a quote when posting as i post a lot here!
