    And here is the result by forcing DVLL mode instead Auto mode

    [​IMG]

    P4_LG_Dolby_Trailer_4K_Demo = Dolby vision/DD
    P5_Dolby_Amaze = Dolby Vision/Atmos
    P7_FEL_GIJoe_The_Rise_of_Cobra = Dolby vision/DTS-HD
    P7_MEL_GIJoe_The_Rise_of_Cobra = Dolby vision
    P81_GlassBlowing2_3840x2160@59_94fps_15200kbps = Dolby vision/Atmos
    [/QUOTE]
    Hi, please may I ask you what is your setup for FEL Dolby Vision? I like MEL in Dolby Vision. Thank you very much for the advice.

    Hi, you have missed the point, he is only getting HDR10 base layer converted to Low Latency Dolby Vision, he isn’t actually getting FEL Dolby Vision.

    Hello,

    As DaMacFunkin says, it is with the VS10 Engine but according to markswift2003, the results are very good, and for me too but this is only my opinion.

    See you

    Brilliant, thank You. I have been looking for something like this - not usual that you place a .zip file on a USB stick is it, rather than an .img file?

    But I'm on it now for tomorrow now

    Hello rozel,

    The zip or rar file is used for updating the device

    The .IMG is used to flash the box and this is my next tutorial.

    See you

    Here is the procedure to make a flashing of your Zidoo Z9X, it is easy and fast.

    useful if you need to go back to a previous FW


    ----------------------

    NOTE :

    About the .IMG file, choose the one for the Z9X and not for the Z9S or X9S, this has already happened to people.

    ----------------------


    Download links below


    With Google framework version: https://mega.nz/file/Hc9hAZ6J#WryxHI0BgCbfPoZJWjZgIz2pFsbBAtbV0ARG6pTTsC0

    Without Google framework version : https://mega.nz/file/XY1FlThL#mEQuIubWNxNKjW7Lt9RIUFvDBI6yTP-pcEh1wAG9l44

    ----------------------

    You need a USB key formatted in Fat32.


    [​IMG]

    Rename the .IMG file to "install" and copy it to the usb key which is formatted in FAT32

    [​IMG]

    ----------------------


    You have a USB key in FAT32 and the file renamed to 'install.img', as well as a paperclip, we can start.

    [​IMG]

    Turn OFF the device with the switch on the back, place the USB stick on one of the USB3 ports and insert a toothpick or paperclip into the reset hole by pressing lightly (you will feel a click), and turn ON the device.

    [​IMG]

    The Zidoo boot, HELLO appears on the VFD and Zidoo on the TV, you can remove the toothpick or the paper clip.

    [​IMG]

    HELLO will stay a few seconds on the VFD and Zidoo on the TV as well.

    [​IMG]

    The flashing procedure will begin, the box reboot once finished and you have a brand new box, of course it will be necessary re-configure your box.

    Hi, I have a question about updates. If there are new updates, why do I have to do this manually? I dont understand that.
    Why online update reports "up to date" if there is a new verison?
    thanks

    Beta's need to be installed manually and Final's are made available via real OTA updates.

    For those who wish to access the hard drive connected to their Z9X from their PC and that your Win10 network settings are properly configured.

    Pour ceux qui souhaitent accéder au disque dur connecté à leur Z9X depuis leur PC et à condition que vos paramètres réseau dans Win10 soient corrects.


    [​IMG]


    Activate ''Samba Server'' in the Zidoo network options

    Dans les options réseaux du Zidoo, activez ''Samba Server''


    [​IMG]


    Right click and choose ''Refresh'' in the Network page of win10.

    Dans la page réseau de WIN10 Faites un clic droit et actualiser


    [​IMG]

    The Zidoo device (ZD_SAMBA) will appear

    [​IMG]



    if your Zidoo device does not appear, check in Windows Features that the SMB 1 client is activated and ZD_SAMBA should appear

    Si votre appareil Zidoo n'apparaît pas, vérifiez dans les options de Win10 que le client SMB1 est activé....et ZD_SAMBA devrait apparaitre.

    [​IMG]


    Double-click on it, the internal memory (storage) of the Zidoo is available.

    Hi,

    I am using v6.0.45G.

    I did some new tests with the new FW and the files work fine on the Z9X

    in summary, I have the same results as with 6.0.35G

    See you

    Good question,

    You should create a thread for this, people on this forum with Panasonic TVs may have the same problem and you will get an answer to your question
