Cant transfer files bigger than 4.2GB from Mac OS to Zidoo Z20 Pro internal drive

Hello,

Im having a few problems with my new Z20 Po. The learning curve seems so steap.

One problem:
I cant transfer files from Apple Mac OS to Zidoo Z20 Pro internal drive bigger than 4.2GB. Ive installed a disk into the internal drive drive slot. Ive formatted the drive, trying both disk formats, but I always have a problem transfering files to the drive from my Apple Mac that are larger than 4.2GB. The transfer just stops and gives an error. Theres nothing wrong with the files. I can play the file from another source, left on my mac shared folder. I want to reduce network useage and want to play from the internal drive of the Z20 PRO.

Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

 

is drive formatted to ntfs ?
isnt around 4 gigs the limit for files in fat 32 format ?

 

I had the drive formated as FAT32 - yes, correct, there is a 4GB file limit
Its now formatted as NTFS, but there is another problem: I can connect to the drive & copy files there, but it is acting like a drop box share. I dont see the contents of the drive. from my mac it is empty, but viewing the hd on the zidoo i see all the files.

 

far as i know ,that issue of not seeing data transferred over ,from the pc end is an issue on earlier f/w ,ie .52 ,and has been fixed in the later releases

have you updated to .75 f/w yet ,if not a lot of issues will be fixed

D/l the zip file for your device type in the .75 firmware thread at top of this forum section

you can place the zip on to a usb stick and plug that in to the zidoo then go to About ,on Home screen and update ,pointing to the .75 f/w
or place it in to a folder you can see from the zidoo to your PC

 

Don't unzip the file btw just put the zip file as is on a USB stick and Zidoo takes care of it

 

GREAT !!
