    Hey, I recognize that. That's English! :) Thanks for clarifying, cucnz. So, to be even more clear, after everything is booted up in the correct order (AVR, TV, Zidoo) and setting the zid to VS10 HDR, it creates an EDID, which I can then save somewhere on the Ziddoo, then turn ON Custom EDID and set it to that EDID file (which I will name the cucnz file, hehheheh...)
    Thanks again, fellow Israelite!

    I'm very patient, but even I don't understand how long we can wait to updated firmware.
    As a home cinemas installer, currently I do not recommend Zidoo's 1619BPD based models to my clients. Also it's a shame that the previous DR models are no longer available. At the time of discontinuation they were very stable and worked perfectly.

    So I Have Sold my Z10Pro next will be the Z20Pro this should never have been brought to market . For those who don't like the Dune 8K PRO you never will! I have changed all the set up to what I want And there in No way the Z20 even comes close in performance Everything is faster it's just better . Customers are not Beta testers for you that's your job No new firmware still there working on it?? Will they solve the problems I don't believe they can.

    I can’t fault your thinking but for me speed isn’t really a huge incentive. I just want reliable consistent play. I usually know what I want to watch when I use my player so the user interface, although it is somewhat important, it’s still not the main function of the player.
    For those on the fence I’d probably recommend staying with the prior generation players. Their performance is good and many of the issues have been fixed. Perhaps if Zidoo and others get working on the new players we will see improvement.

    I still have 2 Zappiti 4k HDR duos that I upgraded to R_Video even though they are slow they are still much better than the New Zidoo.I will try other brands in the future if I need to But Zidoo have lost my trust there apathy says everything to me. I am very much in to audio too and all most bought one of there audio units but the support can't be trusted.I think no one will buy a new range without them proving review samples first??? Such a shame old range just so much better and we have paid a lot of money we only won't it to work.

    Well no problem with samba shares,no problems with subtitles on and there are firmware updates like I say no product is a 100% perfect perfect But hell it plays every thing I throw at across 3 NAS units and 90TB of Movies and TV scans in seconds .I I do have full fibre super fast broadband Maybe that why I have no issues Z20Pro could not show folders for months sometimes best no defend the indefensible it's an awfully bad unit and no update since Jan 24

    I don't understand why they don't make publicly available at least the internal version 1.0.80. In my 2 months experience it works much better than 1.0.75. At least in my usage scenarios.

    i had 80 for 2-3 weeks ,then box totally locked up and had to full reset reload 75 b4 i could use it again
    Someone posted they had basicly same thing after a couple weeks with it too
    wouldnt mind trying it again to recheck the MP7 changes they did on 80 now we know Raw/Auto effects mch a lot

    I have no problems with 1.0.80 on Z9X pro during more than 2 months of regular use. I completely forgot about EDID loss problem.
    But I have a good habit of doing a hard reset of devices after firmware update.

    Am I the only guy who hasn't had any major issues ?

    Is it because I'm running a custom launcher, ZDMC and a forced EDID (dumped from my TV)?

    no EDID issues, I got multicahnnel FLAc and Lossless Atmos M4A music playback working via ZDMC, no HDR weirdness. I have a couple of niggles with having to turn the box off at night as leaving it on 24/7 causes instability, and third party apps not supporting auto refresh rate changes.

    Me , except sacd mch and hi res mch flacs ,but theyre still working on those and the random EDID lose issue which seems to happen a lot more since i changed from 23hz ress ,from 24hz ,now im seeing it daily again with 24hz it was once a week

    24/96 Flac and m4a atmos mch work on 75 as long as Raw is on Not Auto which i figures out a few weeks back in testing

    dsf mch files with raw on will have zidoo say they are outputting 6ch ,but the denon 3700h will say 6ch ,but only 2 channels fl fr are carrying audio ( if i am remebering it all correctly lol....its all posted on the mch audio thread in .75

    I have no issues at all at the moment. I did have one issue where sometimes the video would stutter after bringing it out of pause - but I haven't seen that for weeks.

    Everything plays fine. My only complaint, and I know it's something Zidoo will never improve, is full bluray handling.

    Then again do I have a simple set up Zidoo > AV - TV and maintain a fairly small library.

    Simple question. I use an EDID generated by my tv/avr. If I change any settings on my tv, like color saturation, or on my avr, like sub levels or change in frequency, do I need to resave the EDID file and load it?

    how to generate EDID yourself? (Simple question))

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but:
    Turn on tv and avr, after they're fully booted, turn on the zidoo
    Go to settings>display>custom EDID
    Make sure the switch at the top is turned OFF
    Click "Save EDID" and save it to whatever folder on the ziddo you want. Most use storage>DCIM
    Then click "Load EDID". It will now show up in your list of EDID's. Select it.
    Set the switch at the top back on.

    Hello friends I need help.

    I have a zidoo z1000 pro and I am thinking of changing it for a zidoo z20 pro or for a zidoo z2600 with a new chip.

    The z1000 pro has 2 GB of ram and the new models have 4 GB of ram.

    Will I notice improvement and speed in the covers and menus?

    Which of the two models, the z20 pro and the z2600, has better sound and audio for watching movies?

    Thank you

    I wouldn’t. Wait till firmware fixes the bugs. I bought a z9x pro and sold my old z9x. Ended up buying a z9x on eBay. The pro now sets under the older z9x not plugged in.
