    As far I remember Mcbluna updated firmware 1.0.75b days after he posted it. I recommend you to update it from either source.

    I've finally got round to giving DoVi baker a go, this program basically Re-encodes the FEL layer into a HDR10 compatible base layer and then injects the RPU to make a profile 8.1 MKV it *should* give the intended Picture experience. I've done 3 movies now and if you have the computer specs it is well worth it, SPR came out really good and once a title is done it is done. To add to this I owned the original Oppo 203 and a clone and was always slightly underwhelmed by it's DV colour performance, I think Vincent did some videos specifically about this - But that argument is now put to bed, currently happy with Zidoo representation of these movies.

    Hi

    1st time poster, long time reader. I have a Z2600 on this latest firmware. It is connected to a Marantz 7015 AVR which is connected to a LG G3 OLED.

    All my media is on an internal 16TB Ironwolf Pro HDD. All are 4K MKV rips made using MakeMKV and contain the video file, the English soundtrack (Atmos, DTS-HD - whatever is most “advanced”) and any English subtitles.

    The problem I have is that any movie I play works fine…for a while, then it kicks out to the movie poster. If I hit play again it doesn’t continue where I left off, it starts again from the beginning. In the 2months I’ve had this player I haven’t got to the end of a movie once.

    For info I have the player set up using the settings provided by another thread on this forum somewhere
    “Recommended Settings and other useful stuff for RTD 1619BPD Players”

    Does anyone else have this problem or a solution I could try?

    Thanks in advance for any help provided

    Hello
    Tell me please

    there is zidoo z2000 and benq w5700
    outputting content using vs10 hdr to sdr (vs10 SDr Reс709)

    but it is noticeable that on HDR10 films there are few details in the shadows and, as a result, the brightness is lower
    on SDR and DV everything is fine

    is this a firmware bug?
    why is all HDR less bright?

    HDMI range is limited everywhere

    Dobrý den, (TardisJockey) mám Zidoo UHD 5000 a mám podobný problém, film se zastaví na cca 30 sekund. a pak to pokračuje, problém je s vloženým HDD v zidoo. Zkuste tedy připojit HDD přes USB nebo hrát po síti přes sambu.

    Most people don't have any issues playing MKV files on a Zidoo. I can only guess its a source file issue. You say it plays fine for 'awhile'. How long is 'awhile'. Is it always the same amount of time? Does it fail in the same location each time?

    is it an issue regarding format style of hdd? ie fat32 limits to 4 gig

    It can vary by file. As an example, one I tried yesterday lasted about 30mins before kicking out, another today lasted just over an hour. Then after restarting the file & scrubbing back to where it failed, it kicked out again after another 10mins. Later that day I started the same movie again from scratch and it kicked out at just under an hour but when I started it again (and scrubbed to where it failed again) it played all the way through to the end. It seems random on each file I try.

    I don’t think so, it isn’t formatted in fat32 and has files on it from 40 to 90 GB.

    can you try a file over smb from say your pc just to eliminate an issue with the internal HDD or associated internal pathway/parts or from an external hdd in the usb3 port

    i have exactly the same problem (also have a SDR-Display). with SDR and DV material everything plays fine and bright, but with HDR(10) everything is way too dark..

    @Markswift2003 is there a solution for this?

    I tried playing the same file from my NAS and the same thing happened.

    Then I stumbled across a post on MakeMKV forum, who had the same issue and was using the same ripping set up as me (almost). Ripping using an Apple Silicon Mac directly onto an attached SSD, not onto the Mac’s internal SSD. They then tried ripping to the Mac’s SSD directly, and after transferring to the Zidoo they played fine. I tried this myself today, only one film (the one that I had been testing the last 2 days), re-ripped to my Mac’s SSD then transferred to the Zidoo. It worked!! Played from beginning to end no problem.

    Not saying this is a definitive solution as only one re-rip done, but it’s further than I have gotten before. I will try a couple more, I’m cautiously optimistic, even if it does mean I need to re-rip all my 4K’s again

    Hi,
    I drew conclusions too quickly, since I switched to version .075, I had my first bug yesterday on the UHD remux of Dune: Part One in Dolby Vision and Dolby THD.
    HDD inside the player.
    At a little over 1 hour into the film, it started to clunk, and I had to pause and then play for it to stop.
    I don't know if this is consistent with some of your problems...
    PS: Deepl Trad sorry
