Technical data

Please wait until data scraping process is completed. Beneath each media file will be displayed a
synthetic feedback of data scraping status as follows: [Identification], [Scraping], then
[Scraped].When all files have been scraped, the window will disappear and an indicator box on top of
screen will display downloading data status.
Tip: if data uploading process is too long, please restart your computer (don’t startup any software
but Zapitti only). This process requires most of available RAM
(depending on number of files to be
scrapped) and an old computer may be out of memory or its CPU limit can be reached during this
process.
While it is still possible to browse Zapitti even during data uploading process, we recommend you to
avoid clicking on buttons in Zapitti’s top toolbar.
Tip: To display task progress status, please click on moving (turning) cogwheel icon as it is
displayed besides data downloading status indicator. Then all tasks will be displayed in a
synthetic table with an uploading status indicator dedicated to each task.
Once all tasks have been completed (status progress completed displayed by removal of task status
indicator in Zappiti upper bar) then data and Movies, TV shows and Music cover arts can be edited. If
any of the media doesn’t match to selection, it can be matched by the user.
Scan of movies/TV shows/music by the user
If your files names are fitting, Zappiti will generally automatically track any fitting data. It can occur
Zappiti fails to perform this process, due to “remakes” (several movie versions released at different
time), then the software will pop-up a window for the user to select himself the fitting version. Just
click on convenient movie, TV shows or Music version (a release date information would be helpful
for this) to be sure it matches. In order to improve automatic indexation process, you can add release
date or music title to movie or to TV shows episode, either typed at the end of file name or between
brackets. E.g. “Name of movie (1988)”.
If file name does not match any file stored in Zappiti database, you can edit name (i.e. a sequence of
words) to be searched with no change to file name necessary on Windows. To do so, select unknown
file from the list and change it inside field below window for any Movies, TV shows or Music files you
are tracking. For Instance, if data fitting to a file named “My movie 2.mkv” cannot be found, this
means Zappiti cannot read the identifying data because there are errors in movie name typing. At
