  1. Thanks my friend!
    I didn’t know there was this possibility, much easier to rematch videos.
    Thanks for the tutorial!
    I emphasize that I always follow your website, thank you very much for your time

  2. Hi McBluna
    Thank you for your fantastic work for our Zidoo babies.

    I don’t understand why on my web based poster wall when I modify a poster or a fanart, this modification is not taken into account on the files.

    Files are located on a SAMBA share. 2 HDs in the UHD8000 and 6 more on USB station.

    Thanks in advance if you have ideas
