[Identification] Titles in IMDB with some types are not findable
Some titles which exist in IMDB are not able to be found when identifying with Zappiti video, even when supplying the IMDB number. For example
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1024966/?ref_=tt_ch
The title can be found externally with the search
url="search/title?title="+IDLnetURL.URLEncode(query)+"&titletype=feature,tvmovie,documentary,short"
so I suspect it is because Zappiti is not including "short" in the search.
A full list of IMDB title types can be seen here:
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/
I suggest that the Zappiti player either have the ability to select item types, or that every defined title type be included in one of the two types of Zappiti search (MOVIE or TV SHOW) - so that there are no unusable IMDB title numbers.

Agreed, I have a DVD Box collection called Blue Earth Collector's Edition V & X. TMDB & IMDB don't have them, but if you input the individual DVDs in the collection, the can be found in IMDB:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2036462/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1
I tried adding TT2036462 to be found w/o luck. Also, in the settings creen, changing identification of Movies to IMDB doesn't change the logo to the right - it's almost like it's stuck. -

Completely agree! I am a new user and in the manual it says entering the IMDB number will find the movie 100% of the time and that is NOT the case at all. I have at least 10 out of 200 titles that are in the IMDB data base and not found by Zappiti. Very frustrating.
