Technical data

this step, write down a keyword in research field then click “Scrap”; Zappiti will download the fitting
movie. If movie still doesn’t match to requirements, another way to proceed is explained further in
this operating manual, named “Scraping data” (process only available for movies for now).
At the top of the interface is displayed the amount of completed tasks
along with the total number of tasks to be processed.
Movie not found
Check the spell of movie name, and its convenience. To be checked too if spaces or hyphens are
fitting or missing.
If the process still cannot match and the required movie cannot be found, there is still an issue left.
Check on TMDb website: ( http://www.themoviedb.org/ ). Write down fitting movie name on website
search engine then click on matching movie. Copy from movie datasheet the movie title and drop it
in Zappiti scraping window.
Whenever a movie still cannot be found even through TMDB website, maybe movie (or title) is only
available in English or is no more available. When movie datasheet is only available in English, you
might fill out movie datasheet in French language. This can be achieved through logging on TMDB
website. You can either modify existing datasheets or translate them into French or create them
from scratch, if no data are available in any language. You can add missing data such as release
date or cover arts or “Fan arts”. We strongly recommend you to proceed this way, which may be
helpful for other members of Zappiti community. Please note that editing a new file may require 24
hours to be made available through Zappiti Media Center.
Duplicates
If some cover arts appear in duplicates, this may be due to duplicates in movie titles, most of all in
case of sequels. For instance, “Kill bull 4” will be read and processed as “Kill bull 1”, because
original movie title isn’t the right one. If you type convenient title “Kill bull: Vol.IV” then the right
movie will be displayed and mismatch avoided with a movie issued from “Kill bull” famous saga.
Software like DropBox Pro might create virtual double files (masked files) identified by identical
original title with extra _ character typed in front of file name. Hence Zappiti will be deceived and
consider this file is a media file and so, it will create cover arts duplicates. Whenever this occurs,
modify Windows settings to unmask “masked files”; then locate and delete these files. Warning;
during the double files deleting, problems process may occur on the software used to create these
files. Please carefully read operating manual of software before deleting double files.
TV Show not found
Check the spell of TV Show name, and its convenience; to be checked too if spaces or hyphens are
fitting or missing. If release date is entered, it has to be entered between brackets.
If the process still cannot match and one given TV show cannot be found, there is another issue.
