    Pm sent.

    Nova player finds the Zidoo internal player, but won't play the file (can't play the file error) - does actually play your end?

    yeah I use IPTV Extreme Pro and I can choose external player and Zidoo player but I use the built in one as it loads faster.

    Yes, you can chose "Video Player" which is the Zidoo player (DVDPlayer) or "Nova Video Player" and although Nova Player works without DV or passthrough audio as you'd expect, "Video Player" works as expected.

    I wish that they enabled it also in other apps specially Kodi. And optimized Zidoo Player for streaming like adding buffer size setting or something for better streaming experience...

    @andy22
    Does the ZDMCActivity wrapper create the videocorefactory.xml file? same function as xbmcwrapper?

    Thanks

    I don't really understand this kind of stuff but i find xbmcwrapper in Play Store. Is it worth to purchase? Since AFR doesn't work in Kodi, I want to use Zidoo Player when streaming in Kodi. Does it work?

    Unfortunately it needs root to work with Z9X and others. Without root it’s buggy and very slow, not worth it.

    I appreciate your input.

    Have you rooted your player using Magisk and did it make a difference?

    On the X20: i have used the XBMC Wrapper with Kodi for several years after rooting the device with OneKeyRoot. This worked perfectly fine for me
    On the UDH3000 i found no way to root the device, neither with OneKeyRoot nor with Magist and therefore could never try this with Kodi and the XBMC Wrapper. Been useing ZDMC 19.4 since then.

    No, because there is a chance of bricking and even some experienced users failed to get Magisk to work. As alread been said, unfortunately there is no native root solution available like with Onekeyroot on the X9S I had.

    I stick to ZDMC 19, it’s not the end of the world for me. In the end I only use it as graphical interface. But of course I hope for ZDMC 20 because I am not happy with HT 4.0. Kodi/ZDMC is fool proof and just works. The only downside is it’s speed on the device and I heard 20 performs better.

    Agreed.

    From everything I have read it comes down to 2 options:

    1) Zidoo takes 30 minutes to create Kodi 20.1

    2) Wait until an enthusiast buys a Zidoo box and uses Kodi with the knowledge and will to create an APK file with the newest version of Kodi. Obviously this person would have to be comfortable rooting the player and unpacking ZDMC 19.4 to see what needs to be done.

    It would be great, if the Zidoo folks could provide an updated version of OneKeyRoot that allows rooting of RTD1619DR Players.

    Last year I buy my Z9X and software updates almost every week...but now... :(
    I think updating ZDMC to v20.1 takes only less than an hour? :(

    Unfortunately, project seems to be ‘dead’…

    (..and I am NOT totally sure if the company ‘Zidoo’ is also alive..)

    Only look how many time @mirror or any stuff have post anything here in this forum or even better how often the are present…

    So we must admit that it’s time to see somewhere else..

    Not gonna lie... I expected more from this company. There's like zero respsponse from the company on this forum regarding major issues (smb streaming) and now there's no zidoo player for kodi 20+
