    So I feel well entertained by our one man show moderator. Blubb blubb. Only the wine is missing.;)

    And...Much more than entertaining will not come as well in this thread. For something but my invested 300 dollars must be good.

    You should try it first. Some fixes may solve other problems as well.

    But is it released or not?
    No DL link available (yet).
    Or it's an "online" OTA?

    How can Zidoo take such Moderators in their team.

    Or you are half Chinese or you need glasses. You missed the point completely!
    We all know that this is a new chip and that it must be figured out from scratch! And yes it takes a long time to fix problems. We all know!
    But that is no excuse to give no information or no updates about how far they are with solving problems. Or if they are working on it etc. etc.

    Like:
    Dear Members,
    We are working hard on the New firmware update?
    It's a new chip so it takes a while?
    We are working at the following problems:...?
    We are reading all of your problems and saving them in a todo list posted here on the forum, but we are to busy te reply all of your messages?

    Thats one way you talk to your members!
    If they give a little feedback here, it would be so much more friendly.

    Why the H*** is this forum for then?
    Unbelievable they let you speak for them!

    i'm not speaking for them, i'm speaking for me. Yes, its a good idea, but i don't think they will do that.

    P.S. A moderator job has nothing to do with, updates, firmware's, soc's, etc.

    There are the Med8er players which do play 3D MVC without any issues and you can buy them off ebay or Gumtree for less than half the price.

    So you are saying that one should NOT pay attention to what the manufacturer advertises as they are all lies?

    And why I didn't return the product when it didn't meet my expectations because 1) some of the features that were working before are now broken in the newer releases and 2) Zidoo refused to acknowledge there is a problem until it was too late.

    See my first response. If you only cared about 3D then the Med8er players are well establised and they do indeed play 3D files without any issues.

    As mentioned before you need to change your mentality regarding "it's cheap so the issues that come with it are acceptable" because that is not the right marketing strategy, it's misleading the consumers.

    I will iterate again, while the Zidoo is NOT a completely useless device I expect the basic funtionality to work as expected as that is what it has been designed to do and marketed accordingly.

    Hello,

    i feel it's now time to express my feeling about x9s today, now that i have been using it for some weeks.

    Love:

    - Keep loving x9s case, menus.
    - I configured zidoo kodi for my SMB media share - wonderfull
    - recorded from hdmi in, perfect

    Not really:

    - BDISO Menu's - Still got bugs (Because no new fw avail yet)
    - My remote control numbers, volume keys are all black! well, i think and want to think that this was a rookie mistake, because... after sundown, its kind of difficult to use it (or you have to remember keys positions)

    I have some feature requests, but i think i may wait for this new incoming fw.

    regards,

    @Jepsa
    yes agreed: The remote supplied is of low quality. Specifically the text/symbols disappearing already after using it for just a couple of months is really bad.
    Happens first for those keys most used. Is there any warranty claim applicable for this?
    Hope to move to an universal RF remote the coming days (Riitek MX3) with back-lit keys myself.

    BD Menu and external subtitles worked as to be expected from a Beta version, but should have been improved in the mean time.

    I can confirm that. Can also add a picture from my remote. the remote is unfortunately cheapest garbage, with me detaches the label of the return key. Use the button but not very often. The remote control does not make the impression that it fits a mediplayer. No stop or forward and backward button. Quality is cheapest plastic and cheap production.

    here a better quality remote for 2.77 USD but does not know whether one can also use for the x9s.

    Link please?

    I see MEDE8R's least expensive product being sold for $225, $100 more than I paid for my x8. Are you saying I should shop around for a used MEDE8R on ebay, which will have no warrantee and could have any number of unknown issues since it's used, and compare this as a value proposition to a brand-new X8 that I get from Amazon, and can actually return if I don't like it? That's ridiculous.

    You can't just downgrade the firmware?

    And see my original post. The X8 is barely more than half the price of the cheapest MEDE8R, and it's also much newer chipset that can does many other things it can't like play HEVC and 4K and full SBS/TAB 3D. Apart from the fact that there's almost a 100% price difference, they don't have anywhere near feature parity (even counting only things that work correctly on the zidoo).

    Why do I need to do anything of the sort? I got a box for $129 that does exactly what I want. It was a great value for what I paid for it and what I expected from it. I hope grinding your axe here gives you some satisfaction, because you aren't going to get anythig else out if it. What do you want to accomplish? Do you want an apology from Zidoo? A promise that they will be better people in the future? Or, are you just bitching?

    If the Zidoo didn't exist, then I guess I would have a MEDE8R and have spent more money on a product that doesn't do as much for me. That doesn't make my life better.
