    On Zidoo X9S, I am trying to play 4K UHD movies (30GB). When I check the resolution on my Sony TV XBR75X940D, it says 1080p/24p HD. I checked my setting on TV and it fine. I purchased Zidoo as it said it plays 4K content. May I missing some setting in Zidoo.

    Please help me.

    Thanks for your reply Looun.
    1) I am mostly playing REMUX 2160 movies. which are normally around 30gb-40gb depending on the movies.
    2) I check in Quick Setting. There is no option for 2160@60. Maximum resolution I see is 1080p@60. Is it possible because my Zidoo is connected to HDMI 4K AV receiver (video passthru resolution) and AV receiver to 4K TV via HDMI.

    1) nope , some REMUX are 40gb , but lot of are 50-80gb. You have wrong file.

    2 ) the problem is your AV receiver not x9s, are you sure have HDMI 2.0 AV receiver ?
    HDMI 1.4 AV receiver can support 4k but only at 30hz but without HDR metadata.

    Thanks for your input.

    I will try hooking up Zidoo directly to TV.
    I will also check if my AVR is HDMI 2.0. It is kind of old AVR.

    AVR - Onkyo TX-NR717
    TV - Sony XBR75x940D
    Zidoo X9S

    Thanks Looun. Really appreciate your help.

    Currently my setup is X9S ---> NR717---->TV.

    Problem with Android TVs are that ARC only supports DD 5.1 (No DTS). I have installed KODI on TV and it does not pass thru DTS signal to my AVR.
    I don't know if this is my Sony Android TV limitation or every Android TV.

    Can you please tell me the setup for using splitter?
