Beta version v6.4.06 for Z9X/Z10 Pro/Z1000 Pro/UHD3000/NEO S/NEO X release

A bit troublesome but it preserves your scanned data what's the target!!

 

Yes, Zidoo team went into extend of building synchronize tool in case you move the drive but they won’t support active movie database while the drive is disconnected

 

No, returning to the desktop (crashes) is not due to the number of pictures, players, or other things. This is a problem with installing a new firmware. Somehow the updates are not installed correctly, so in the future we have crashes to the desktop.
I spent a lot of time to understand this. Previously, I deleted, as it seemed to me, interfering applications and photos. But this does not completely solve the problem.
If there are any crashes, then only reinstalling the firmware will help. Install the firmware until the complete disappearance of any sorties. Otherwise, when the firmware is installed "crooked", there will be crashes to the desktop.
I had HT4 and Uapp crashes. Now, after several reinstallations and a return to 3.90. there are no flights.

 

It's not even slightly troublesome - took me seconds to do that test - it works exactly as required.

 

Problems with screensaver...

This is critical for OLED panels, I hope it will be fixed with the new beta firmware.

 

OLED TV's should have their own (much smarter) screensaver which also should work with images received via HDMI.

OLED led aging and peak output are the spearpoints for development at the moment as they told me during ISE2022 in Barcelona.

 

Thanks, put the original pictures screen saver (ZDaydream), 4 o 5 pictures, and no more crash and work ok.

 

When screensaver kicks in subtitles of the movie are still visible......I think that bug was there before I do not exactly know from which version on.

 

Anyone else having the issue that posters always are reloading very slow?
I did setup like suggested with custom folder on the zidoo and also to prefer local poster artwork.
Still it always takes ages to load the poster images when scrolling.

Anyone have an idea what to do?

I have over 1000 MKV's, maybe this is the reason?

 

I confirm having this behaviour too.


Thank you Markswift2003 for your tutorial !
It doesn't look complicated at all indeed but it's not where I was expecting it to be.

 

Idem.

 

Reported this a couple of weeks ago, did not get a response yet.

"Thank you for the new version (Z10 Pro - Z10-Pro_P_v6.4.06_G_202205211612_ota-package).
After updating and then re scanning my music collection in Music Player, I can't scroll and view album thumbnails in the browser when browsing albums, I only see placeholders. Most if not all of the album covers will eventually appear if I stop scrolling and wait, sometimes up to a minute or more until all the placeholders are populated. So it looks like the scanning was improved (as I expected from the update), but the presentation is now broken and useless (at least for my needs).
Music collection is residing on a local powered USB 3.1 drive. mostly high res FLACs, WAVs and DSFs. On the disk the tracks are in album folders divided into A to Z folders on the top level sorted by artist (artist name first in folder name). Folder.jpg is typically present in each album folder and also most FLACS contain embedded album art. 2731 albums, 32581 tracks, 1730 artists.
Scanning method is using local data and filtering out only the filetypes I need, I tried various other scan and display methods, same results.
Help appreciated."

 

Hi,

yesterday I had a problem with the player.
Display is set as follows: 3840*2160@23,976
FrameRateSwitch: only Framerate

Then I wanted to watch a film that was originally on the BluRay (MKV) at 25fps. The picture stuttered, the beamer showed me 24fps as the input frame rate. The player showed 25fps.

The problem only disappeared after I set the frame rate to 3840*2160@25fps in the settings.

Is this a known problem?

 

I let the Zidoo choose it not my TV.........or the Beamer (they follow the Zidoo auto setting then which he derives from the source material).

 

So do I.
I meant DisplaySettings@Zidoo, as it's mentioned here:

 

cant you put the display mode on the Zidoo to auto (so no fixed res and frame rate) ? this may help

 

This will probably be the framerate being specified incorrectly in the MKV file - open in MediaInfo and look at "Frame Rate" vs "Original Frame Rate" and also look in the header for "Default Duration" which for 25fps should be 40000000ns (nanoseconds).

 

My TV screen saver won't kick in when using a device attached via HDMI. I have installed the Fotoo app which works when at the Zidoo GUI. If I pause a video Daydream kicks in with movie art I copied onto the Zidoo folder.

 

Another method would be to use the server name instead of the IP address. So instead of something like

smb://192.168.0.121/Films

use

smb://my_nas_name/Films

Then if IP changes all we be good.

 

something that cannot be done with NFS as far as I am aware. Static DHCP cures that in router table though.
