When new Firmware

i do enjoy the zidoo products
having had several other brands of mediaplayers ,theyre miles ahead compared to most
and having the Z9S (retired to bedroom 4k duties now) ,i know the total lack of comminication from Zidoo

BUT
theyre not , say even close to a stable well made product like the WDTV live range
Those things were built rock solid and had almost zero issues ...still got 3 of them atm and weirdly enuff i fired one up and could load Plex on to it and play all my 1080- x265 tv series just fine

 

Trouble is on Any new product out today they play back and have to support ten times more spec : than say years ago .......dvd spec playback with just vanilla 5.1 Audio etc

years ago 1080p 5.1 DD / dts etc that was it

now Dvd , 1080p . 4K , Dolby Vision Vs10 , HDR10 + , Atmos . And on and on

wait next year when 8K playback comes and another Visual additive Dolby Vision HQ
One big headache to resolve and release a firmware for everything to work together .

While we debate oh look new firmware out

 

Nobody asks to set deadlines, it is a list of recognized bugs where it says:
already fixed
is being worked
planned

This minimizes the number of unnecessary / duplicate threads and posts and increases the satisfaction of Zidoo customers.

 

You can’t mux the THD+ac3 track into MKV, ac3 (core) gets discarded....
THD+ac3 is how the stream is in the original M2TS.

 

Guys, do you write about anything in every thread? Sorry, I do not understand that, you won't find anything if it's scattered everywhere.
There is a thread for THD problem: Dolby Vision & Dolby Atmos MKV bug - please acknowledge. | Page 8 | Zidoo forum
This one is called: When new Firmware
No offense

 

I fully agree - I've suggested this before. There should be sub-forums for various matters that continue to be raised

I was expecting "Oh yes we do!" whereas the reality is probably "Oh no you don't!" - thought I'd bring in some Christmas joviality

 

@Bill-Z9X @rozel
no problem, I deleted absolutely all my posts from the Z9x, so the forum will seem clearer to you.
Sorry to bother you.
Merry Christmas

 

He's behind you ! (But I doubt whether many people on this forum understand the intricacies of pantomime ?)

Lol - love it! - they're missing out then aren't they?!

 

Absolutely!

Have a look in the forum to see which topics are identical? Everything is already spread over 7 pages and a lot of it is still on foreign topics.
When you're looking for something you don't know where to look.
There is no admin here to fix it, everything depends on the user of the portal.

You overreacted a bit, I'm sorry.

 

4K bedroom material you say?! Wow!
Wanna trade for some "3D action" that will be all around ya?

 

Hopefully in the next firmware they will at last fix the annoying bug where 1080p blurays play at the native GUI resolution and not 1080p. This one been around for a few releases now.

 

I hope so!

 

hi blenky,

I don't understand, your full hd bluray is not playing in 1080p

 

If your set the Z9X GUI to 3840 x 2160 and play a full bluray it will play in 3840 x 2160 and not 1080p. This is a bug that has been present in the last three firmwares. If you play the movie direct, bypassing the menu, it is OK and so are all other 1080p files.

 

It's been on my bug report since 7th September...

 

thank you for the information,

But what is the point of forcing the resolution to 2160p ?

The '' AUTO '' mode does this automatically and correctly doesn't it ?

 

No, not for full rips.

Auto will set a gui resolution of 3840x2160 (EDID allowing) and you have exactly the same problem with HD BluRay..

You can set the GUI to 1080 but then you have the reverse problem with UHD BluRay.

 

Hello Markwift2003,

It means that Direct Output Mode do not work properly with ISO fullHD ? (since the 3 last FW)
