Scrap data (movie or TV show not fitting)
Whenever it occurs a media file has not been linked to the fitting movie, the scan (scrap) can be
operated once more by the user. To perform this, just click on covert art of a movie stored on Zappiti
Media Center interface. Movie data (synopsis) will be displayed; then click on “Scrap data” button in
the toolbar.
A window will then display original movie name in the text field
along with a list of movies that will
be displayed below file name.
Then you just have to select the convenient movie in this list.
If the required movie is none of those listed, search process can be enhanced through modifying
/enlarging (size of) text field then clicking on “TMBD” button at the border of this field.
While this method can be useful for example described here over, as the name “Bodyguard” can be
related to lots of movies, we deeply recommend modifying a given file name before starting first
scan. E.g. when file name is “bodyguard.mkv » and corresponds to the year 1948 w/ no copyright
movie, 2011 Bodyguard is more likely to be selected by default through automatic scrap. So we
recommend renaming movie e.g. “bodyguard (1948).mkv” or else before scan process is performed.
This method also allows easier research of movies in the event of a hard drive crash or Zappiti Media
Center database crash.
