    New User and very dissapointed so many problems do not no where to start first.

    Start with the above when in kodi movies will play back but when i switch to the external player i get the above message everytime. Cleared data factory reset but will not dissapear or movie not start. This unit will probably be sent back so many issues lets see if we can sort the above problem first. Thanks in advance.

    So have you clicked ok when the play has ended?
    It is what i tend to do.
    Don't go back to the home screen whilst something is playing.

    I think gadgetman mean that when hu coose external player, the external player don't start, ad appears directly "click ok when playback has ended" popup.
    This is happened some times also to me, but currently external (Zidoo) player starts, shos a message that is not apble to play the file, exits and the same popup appears.
    If I remeber correctly, I'm not the only one...

    gadgetman, the question is: have you tried to play the same file with Media Center (of Zidoo Explorer, I suppose) ?

    On the other hand, mirror, the issue I reported happens only using ZDMC and external player (Zidoo player), but the exact same file is played with no problems by Zidoo Player if selected by Zidoo explorer.
    Very strange, isn't it?

    I see yes will play if i remove the play with external player button in kodi, i'm getting confused with all this.

    gadgetman, my question was: are you able to play the same file accessing it with Zidoo Filemanager? NOT with ZDMC/kodi.
    AFAIK, Zidoo Filemanager uses Zidoo Player to play video files. ZDMC normally uses internal ZDMC/KODI player (named DVDPlayer) to play files, and if you instead choose "external player" (or set it as default player), it used Zidoo Player, the same as Zidoo Filemanager.
    mirror, am I wrong?

    in file manager/explorer i click play will work yes. I thought using the external player in kodi delivers the best quality and atmos so i need to use that.

    OK gadgetman, yours seems the same happening to me. The player is the same in both cases, is the standard one in Media Center/Filemanager/Explorer (too name chages!!!) and as external in ZDMC.
    I don't understand why it happens. Unluckily X9S ZDMC don't handle "playercorefactory.xml" as official Kodi or SPMC or X6 pro ZDMC do, as already reported by me.

    I'm free to help Zidoo developers debugging this issue. Let me know how.
