    Thank you for your answer, but I believe that with me, it is a little different, I have a completely black screen and nothing responds or a gray screen from light at the bottom to darker at the top and there only way of To stop is to press the 'stop' key and wait about 25s to find my interface ........

    Thanks for your help,
    I put your settings and unfortunately nothing more !!
    My HDMI line being quite complex, I therefore connected the Z9X directly to the TV and the same gray screen and nothing happened ............ I suspected it a little since for several Months I spend in HDMi this way and everything was working fine !!
    Do you see anything else!

    try a different HDMI cable directly between the Z9X and TV. you could even try with a older HDMI 1.4 cable and see if your grey/black screens continue or not..

    reason for this suggestion, i had some intermittent issues with the HDMI cable supplied with Z9X. it caused my samsung plasma TV to keep flashing black frequently, and finally hang the TV (cannot off TV by remote, had to cut power). i swapped it with a known good old HDMI 1.4 cable, and it is all good for a week already.

    With the Z9X connected ONLY TO THE TV can you download the EDID and post it:

    <Quick Settings/Other/About/Advanced Settings/System/Realtek Developer Options/Save EDID on USB Stick>

    Thanks for your help,
    I tried two or three different cables and no more success .......... moreover for 2 months it worked very well with the same cable on the same installation!
    Besides on this installation I also have a HIMEDIA Q5 and a DUNE REALBOX 4K which works perfectly ........

    Your English is better than my French!!

    The EDID file is the one called something like "edid0000.bin"

    Rename it to "edid0000.txt" and attach to your post.

    Nothing wrong with that EDID at all - it's a standard Samsung 600MHz EDID so the TV should be happy with any output from the Zidoo.

    Does this black screen happen on the GUI / Home Screen or is it just when you play a file?

    Ok .......... not only when I read a file, everything else works!

    Where are the files played from - USB or Network?

    FUTEKO asked me to send one to 'service@zidoo.tv', which I did!
    There should be a next firmware I think I would test and if it still didn't work I would get a refund for the device and frankly it would annoy me a lot because I love this player !!
    Thank you for your feedback and help ........

    I've had no issues like this at all and I'm testing on a Samsung TV with a similar EDID to yours, so we should be able to fix this.

    Try copying one of the files that does not play onto a USB drive and see if you can play that through Media Center.

    Thank you for your optimism !!!
    Well the problem is the reader which as soon as it is on for more than 5/10 minutes, the screen becomes black or gray when reading !!!
    I did the test on a USB key, I put a serial episode there and therefore turn on the reader which had not worked for 1 or 2 hours, so cold .......... au At first he reads to me what is on the USB key, I continue with a series on a NAS he reads it, I continue with a film he reads it and to the next film a new black / gray screen ........ .i'm trying to read the USB key again, like the black / gray screen .......... the reader had been running for 5/8 minutes ........... ???
