Beta version v6.4(7).42 for Z9X/Z10 Pro/Z1000 Pro/UHD3000/NEO S/NEO X/NEO Alpha release

I've imported a library of around 124,000 songs successfully...

The key with music, (and this is true of any client/server solution), is to tag it accurately first - I use Linn for serious music listening, but whether I'm using Linn Kazoo or a Zidoo, I wouldn't dream of importing an untagged library.

 

Well, like I said, this didn’t happen when the library was smaller.
Before I do anything I make sure all my albums are tagged.

I’ll take the advice from @cucnz and remove a few thousand to go back to see what will happen then.

 

Once again the wheather App does not work anymore. Neither on Z9X nor Z9S.

 

IMO, having a weather app on a device like this is totally unnecessary anyway... information that is presented much better on your own phone.

 

Anyone having issues with Network time? I havent been able to get it to work properly for past week or so on my Z9x on newest FW. Setting manually doesn't work as doesn't keep track when off.

 

No problem here.

Just sharked it and I can see the NTP servers it calls are 2.android.pool.ntp.org and time.google.com, so nothing unusual.

 

I left it unplugged for an hour and picked up the right date/time afterwards. Something must've gotten cached that shouldn't have or something. Thanks for checking on your end

 

Hi all, has anyone else noticed the.. “default subtitle”.. option selection.. “external”.. is missing from firmware v6.4.42 on the Zidoo z9x?

Is it a known issue? if not I would like to report it please.

Appreciate the firmware is in beta. Thank you.

 

Zidoo 10 Pro
Since today weather data is not working.

 

Same thing here, when it was working before,it couldn't update automatically when Zidoo started.I had to open it in the GUI to have it worked.

 

Sorry, but you don't get it either. The audio is downmixed to stereo before being sent out through coaxial. No one is asking coaxial (or optical) to carry lossless surround sound. I know that can't be done. I don't know how else to explain it. I thought people understood what downmixing was when I posted here initially. Coaxial and optical can carry full bitrate 2.0 LPCM, which is all I'm asking coaxial to do.

I fixed the issue by, as Yoram Ariel mentioned, putting the contents of the MKV in a different container. Using tsMuxerGUI I remuxed to TS and now it shows DTS-HD instead of just DTS when playing back the files. It takes literally 30 seconds or so to do this, so it's not a problem at all, although it happening is still mysterious.

 

Hello there. As mentioned, remuxing the MKV to TS did the trick for me. I'm pretty sure that I was able to play DTS-HD and not just the core DTS track from MKV files before the latest beta, but it's way too much work to go back and check if it worked.

 

Your original post/question was clumsily asked (so easily misunderstood).
Several of your subsequent posts (including this one) have been condescending and rude.
I'm surprised anyone offered any help at all.

 

The sound standards are not my thing but I'm curious about it. You are saying that you want Zidoo to downmixed to stereo from DTS-HD but not from core DTS track.

How would you know at the end on stereo amp if you getting if from DTS-HD or from core DTS track? Can you hear the difference or you just want to see the DTS-HD track on Zidoo info screen? I'm assuming that your stereo system taking PCM from coax doesn't really care what was the source before conversion.

 

I'm not sure what you're confused about. Of course I want to downmix from the best possible source.

It works with a TS container and I just watched The Phone (2015, German Blu-ray), so this is quite excellent for now.

Why it stopped working, I have no idea. It seems to have coincided with the latest FW beta. I really like my Z1000 Pro, but it's the most random piece of consumer electronics I've ever owned

 

I think it was quite clear. That I'm downmixing and using coaxial is actually irrelevant to the question; no matter the settings or the output type (HDMI, coaxial, optical), the player refused to see DTS-HD and only wanted to use the core DTS track, while TrueHD kept working as it should. This proves that my issues had nothing to do with the physical outpit used. I posted evidence of this, which seems to have been completely ignored.

I kept explaining what I was doing, while Swift kept hammering on about something that was irrelevant. Yes, that made me a bit frustrated, but asking if he was actually reading my posts, considering the circumstances, is hardly passive aggressive.

My mistake was assuming that you guys here knew what downmixing meant, I guess. As mentioned, the menu on the Zidoo (Z1000 Pro, at least) has it wrong. Playing the core audio track instead of the full lossless track is not downmixing.

 

A Xmas present update coming soon ?

 

Any update on why the weather app is not working AGAIN?

 

Well that issue would be well way down my list of updating or fixing etc
have a weather App for that or which is far far more accurate .

plus my box is used for Movie watching No 1

 

Hello everyone, i have a problem with applications moments after startup youtube, tvp sport or polsat box go, the application shuts down and exits to the main menu Zidoo. Please help for which I thank you.
