Thanks! I'm aware of the apk, however I want to avoid root my device Last time I did that I has issues, and installing new firmware resets everything
Never rooted my playes although I would like the new poster wall update - Knowing my luck it would screw up when I root it - I think Zizoo have forgotten about us or they have dropped support for the 1296 players - last update was months ago
I agree... it would be nice to see a concerted effort from Zidoo to keep the HT app up to date for older Z9s and X9s boxes. And, I too did not want to go through the procedure to "root" my Z9s in order to update the HT4 app. Although, my Z9s had flawless online HT4 trailer playback and my recently acquired Z9x has choppy and unusable trailer playback function. So, maybe in some instances it is best not have the latest version!
I installed the latest HT version for RTD1296 from here http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/ht-v4-1-79-fanart-tv-artwork-api-fix.92999/#post-169641 – I thought if Zidoo has pushed this fix out it would work without rooting the box first – its installed on all 3 of my Z9S players seems to be fine
Yes, I have found in the past that I could install an updated HT4 apk even though it may not have been released specifically for my prior Z9s (one time only) but then the next time that there was an updated HT4 apk, I could not load it... it would always show an error on install.... unless I suspect my device was rooted. I had to stay on that HT4 version until I got another one bundled in the actual new Z9s firmware. BTW, how has your Home Theater trailers been working prior to the newest version? And how about now? Thanks...
Will have a look at the trailers - I can remember that they did work ok on the Z9S but not tested since I updated the HT but will have a test tonight and let you know
Trailers don't work correctly on the Z9S with HT 79 - also on the Z1000pro they take a while to load - they did work great on the Z9S before I updated - Something I don't really use to watch trailers through the Zidoo the quality isn't that great
Ok, thanks for checking... yes it has been acknowledged by multiple people that something happened with the online trailer feature during one of the recent updates. It renders it useless. Starts with a very lengthy buffering and then can only play for a few seconds before stalling out and buffering again. Strange that the problem hasn't been acknowledged and fixed by now.
Since i'm not sure we will get new versions anymore, I installed Zidoo Home Theater v4.2.17 – McBluna.net https://www.mcbluna.net/wp/zidoo/zidoo-home-theater-v4-2-17-mcbluna-net/
Hi McBluna.net, Every time I open HT I get the message "we have detected that you have used the poster wall before....." I thought it is one time question only, but it is not.... How can I avoid this? I use your modified apk: 4.2.17 Thanks!
Hi McBluna.net, First I want to thank you for pointing me to the permission section, indeed in was not define correctly on my player. I'm curious about version 4.2.25, Why does Zidoo never provide changelogs? How do you know when there is a new version of HomeTheater? isn't it part of firmware release? Thanks!
