    It's not up to Zidoo - the SOC only supports 1 TX & 1 RX HDMI.

    I've also tried the same and had many attempts. The resultant file starts fine but after a few minutes the video starts to stutter. I have an LG CX.

    Genius! The app allows you to update quick setting directly from the app - nice one.

    I think my Z9S may be bricked! Due to issues with VS10 I decided to do an emergency flash and then re install latest beta

    I followed the instructions here

    http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/zidoo-z9x.80006/page-34#post-133129

    It started OK with the flash. However during install it failed with a message saying something like 'install failed please reboot'. As the remote was unresponsive I had no choice but to power off at the back.

    Now when I turn it on with the boxes power button I just get the red standby light.

    If I try the emergency flash again all I get is the front panel shows the message 'UP..' with the red standby light. Nothing happens no matter how long I sit there with a pin in the reset hole!

    I've done this before with the Z9S without issue.

    Is there a way to recover the box?

    This is brilliant!! I was looking for something like this to get remote screen from Zidoo on my PC. It works on my old X9S :)
    Now I can fix posters and trailers on my computer not in front of the TV.

    Great app! I needed to enable USB debugging under Advanced Settings > System > Developer Options in order for adb to connect to Zidoo on my old X9S. Now I have full Zidoo screen including HT 4 and ZDMC right on my PC :)

    Found the keys for remote screen using "scrcpy". Table at the end https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

    Home = Alt + h
    Menu = Alt + m
    Back = Esc or Alt + b
    App_Switch = Alt + s

    HDMI can be split. I would have bought a more expensive Zidoo model if it had HDMI audio

    You can access HT via the browser, from PC or Smartphone, over the IP address of the box and port 9528 (for example 192.168.0.20:9528), with remote control function and much more.

    Hi, I know you are forcing 60fps second on your CX to get DV playback but the locking up after about 10 mins I think is part of the bigger LG bug with DV.
    From what I have seen on a debug log the LG is receiving something it doesn’t like or understand, rather than ignore it, it then loops back to the Zidoo.
    The Zidoo starts to get confused, in 23.976 mode it resets the handshake causing the black screens.
    Some people (myself included) report that if you open the info screen and exit during DV playback, the info screen randomly pops up and the only way to stop it is to exit the movie.
    I suspect that in DV 60fps mode that the something is coming back from the LG that Zidoo doesn’t know what to do with, eventually this builds up in the cache and slows down the system.
    This is of course all just layman’s terms, I will try and recreate the 60fps bug at the weekend and see pass the log on.
    My own thoughts is it may be as easy as <if dont understand rx then discard and continue to tx> LOL

    I am with exactly the same problem, if you have an answer to this problem thank you in advance for letting me know ............. otherwise I would have to send it back !!
    Mine also failed and therefore does not light up at all!

    If it can't be recovered by the emergency flash procedure:

    https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/support_guide/guide_target/x0Yfq[ld]QEAzbeq7k9e[ld]3ulg==.html

    Then the only way back is to connect/solder a UART to the motherboard (connecting only TX-RX, RX-TX, Gnd-Gnd)

    https://tinyurl.com/ttlConverter

    and access with a terminal emulator from a PC, for example PuTTY. This allows you to connect to U-Boot and use the internal rescue system. It depends on how much damage has been done to the internal eProm as to how you proceed (see attached PDF).

    When mine originally bricked I had extensive help from another forum member rewriting the boot table but since then I've been able to replicate and bricked my test device on purpose a few times and managed to restore using a recovery image directly from U-Boot using Option 1 on page 13 of the attached PDF.

    If none of the above makes sense, I'm afraid you'll have to return it.

    Thanks again Markswift
