As far as I know, the Zidoo X9S can only play h264 (AVC) videos encoded in 8bit. From your log it seems that your animation files are 10 bit. The X9S *can* play 10bit files, but they need to be encoded with h265 (HEVC), not h264. Took me some time to figure this out... Hope this helps, Cym.
ohhhhh I see... So finally i will try making video conversions... Any open source free tools recommendations to convert a bunch of files? (not a lot of experience until now) i first try with https://handbrake.fr/ thanksss Cymepa
handbrake is what I also use to convert files. I don't have much experience with handbrake but the interface is easy to understand. Yes, with handbrake you can queue videos to convert a bunch of files one after the other. Cheers, Cym.
all players have problems with anime x264 10bit, it's not a commune standard , and if you see a system play it, it's because it uses raw cpu power for software decoding.
