Network access
The Poster Player bridge needs to reach the Zidoo player on the local network. The customer setup should keep the Zidoo on a stable IP or reserved DHCP address.

Zidoo setup
Zidoo is one of the strongest home cinema sources for Poster Player because it is a dedicated local media player with accessible playback information.

What to know
Now Playing data
When Zidoo is playing supported local content, Poster Player can use available state such as title, progress, duration and source identity.

Poster Player can combine available source information with metadata services such as TMDb to create a cleaner poster display.
Practical note
Exact behaviour depends on the Zidoo model, firmware, local library naming and the final bridge configuration.
