    Report here changes compared with FW 2.3.3 and items not solved despite being claimed to be.
    Focus is on items in the expanded changelist.


    It is mandatory again to re-install GappsInstaller-rtk-7.1_v1.2.4.apk manually after this update.

    http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?thr...bsolutely-mandatory-to-be-re-installed.50600/
    That re-install may in fact not always go smooth. Mine went smooth this time.
    You need to uninstall first and next reinstall it. In some cases also a Factory Reset is needed and worst case even an Emergency Flash with a ROM-image is needed followed with a successive upgrade. The good news for everybody who tried is that it solved the instabilities.

    Not doing so you will run into several problems including some instabilities:
    - The display keeps showing "Hello"
    - Eject is not available anymore. Simply does not pop-up anymore going left. In fact it may come after a very long time.
    - Sound coming out 2CH only
    - Freezes during Video playback and USB3 interruptions
    - MCH ISO-SACD still produces very distorted sound also for the 2CH track.
    - Etc......

    Without doing so instabilities including freezes are to be expected. Always to be mentioned if you re-installed it when reporting a problem with this (or any other recent) FW Beta update.

    File manager
    - Volume Labels up to 20 positions now show up moving to the left panel (scrolling) and on the top line. Still not 32 positions which is NTFS maximum but now at least useful in practice knowing the current limitation.

    Music Player (In need to get a lot more Setup choices)
    - Several new improvements confirmed. With still a way to go but clearly moving. The sound quality is OK.
    - Full Screen now can be enabled/disabled in setup.
    Comments: Please just call it Screen Saver or Karaoke Menu then we know what to expect from it.
    - Several problems with sound for DTS-CD's making Music Player unstable remain (Reset by a boot). It could be triggered by using Background?
    The player may scroll through the titles and start playing a random track.
    Sound may disappear for DTS-CD. FLAC MCH may start playing in 2CH
    Some DTS types are not played at all.

    Local Player
    - I am still getting the wrong file name displayed playing DVD folders. Does NOT happen with DVD ISO's or any BD formats.
    - The DVD Menu often has a wrong display for the option icons (choices) like overlays which get displaced.
    - The new Zoom Feature: Aspect Ratio ==> Zoom ==> 2.35 Cropping or 2.35 Stretching. Now is implemented fully correctly (Stretching & Cropping not being swapped anymore). In fact I use Stretching for DVD's with double black bars myself now (those having a 16:9 picture in a 4:3 frame).
    Up to FW 2.2.96.
    - Kino Lorber BD's with just Single Audio and single Subtitles subtitles the native Video Player won't find the single subtitle included on the BD's using direct play.
    https://www.klstudioclassics.com/
    This problem is not a BD related problem. When using the BD Menu (Play with Blu-Ray menu) the subtitles are found and will be played normally. The option on the actual BD Menu is then subtitles ON/OFF.
    - On Demand subtitle searches are finding many very strange hits with no obvious relation with the movie title.


    Mobile APP (need to update mobile app v.1.5.3)
    That update indeed needs to be done (did it manually)
    https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/release_apk.html
    As more often the Zidoo release information on the site is incorrect and still indicates an old version, but it actually isn't.

    Again a real improvement which makes it once more the best thus far inclusive stability.
    I feel Google APP's related issues must be solved first before making a general release OTA available.

    Three big problems, these were occasional earlier now it's on all restarts.

    1. Front panel shows Hellu! nothing else
    2. on every restart audio is pcm 2.0 only ( regardless of setting)
    3. on every restart it's forced to sdr to hdr
    ( regardless of setting)

    Update: All three issues went away. All working as expected.

    Good afternoon! It would be desirable to learn, and corrected loss of a sound at connection on the optical cable.

    Хотелось узнать, а починили пропадание звука при подключении оптическим кабелем?

    The same was reported by pcristi with FW 2.3.3 and is not specific for this FW 2.3.7 update.
    You are using Gappsinstaller? Never had that using it myself. There are various known problems with Google APP's getting partially installed or even corrupted (uninstall them first and reinstall next). Worst case one needs to do a Factory Reset too. We can only hope Zidoo solves these quickly as this is nasty.

    Google APPs probably updated something.

    Good to know it works again. Please share your experiences.

    5. Optimize track identification for SACD and CUE albums

    Curious how this is working now. Up to now the Track identification of SACD Iso´s was a complete failure. I am still waiting for ANY Type of instruction how a SACD Iso Database must be structured to allow a detection of the albums.... I have been asking for this since AGES with ZERO Response from Zidoo:-(

    @Siju Thomas
    Factory reset solve for me VFD display show HELLU then working again.

    Why does it take too long to download such a small file?

    Hi,
    This option was already available and worked in version 2.3.3.

    If the file name of the two versions of the same movie contain keywords such as 1080, 4K, HDR ..., automatically change the A, B ... tags to one of these keywords. But only for new movies added, or you had to rematched the movie again to be assigned a label automatically.

    The problem is that it still appears as A, B, ... in the mobile app. Although a label is manually set, it is only visible on television.

    I think what happens is Zidoo team get a swellhead, they offer FW which does not fix certain problems and mirror is not able to start a message without saying hello and I think they take us for cash cow.

    no hello from you, no excuses ... i think your employees are treated better ... well I hope it is

    Nice Monkey and others talk about problems and you don't even answer them on this thread

    we have been informing you, we have been helping you, for several years and we have been doing it with pleasure, so a minimum of respect would be appreciated.

    see you

    With this firmware, the problem of disconnection on USB 3.0 ports remains unresolved. It is time for this problem to be corrected. Greetings.

    You did not mention if you re-installed Gapps or not. Instabilities including USB3 problems are likely to occur without doing so.
