Zidoo source guide
Zidoo Now Playing display for home cinema rooms
Poster Player can work with Zidoo through the local bridge to create a dedicated home cinema Now Playing display with movie artwork, playback progress and available metadata.
How the local bridge helps
The lightweight bridge runs inside the local network and reads available playback state from the source. Poster Player then presents that data on a browser-based display.
A screen beside the player
A Zidoo Now Playing display can sit outside the room, beside the seating area, near the equipment rack or on a portrait wall screen.
When Zidoo is idle
When no active playback is detected, Poster Player can switch to Coming Soon mode and rotate movie artwork, posters and backdrops from available content sources.
