HI, I'm tryn to make it working, but maybe i'm missing something... My optical out is not working since i upgraded to 1.4.6 and now 1.4.8. I've configured the passtrhu following the tutorial, tried even from local usb, in kodi or in the native player...but playng an AC3 audio video 5.1nothing changes, no digital output obtained... Anyone has it working with this FW? It is a known issue ? should i try to a previous FW (it was shipped with 1.3.x but i upgraded it without testing the spdf optical out....)?
hmm, I set up the passtrhu following the tutorial: https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/support_guide/guide_target/m3UMhoBShG9KKmVViAFMcQ==.html but if there's some other place to configure the optical out i didn't found it. And thinking about it, the passthru configuation should affect only the signal (pre-processed or raw) but some signal in output should be there anyway...or not? i have no signal out.... do you have some other configuration place to redirect the audio out to the optical exit different from the tutorial?
I never saw this tutorial. My setup is made with android sound parameters and Kodi audio parameters, including passthrought.
if there's no other suggestion i think i have to downgrade to previous FW (the shipped one) and test it before considering and Hw failure tha affects only my X10.... crossing fingers, i don't like to ship it back :-(
Update: After the downgrade to 1.3.0 FW something changed. Now the SPDIF is "waving" , i mean that it works for a bunch of seconds than goes off...than it return....than again....sometimes it goes ok for 20 seconds.... I upgraded again at 1.4.6 (1.4.8 is no more available!) and the problem is still there. Better than in the beginning (now i have some signal out but not stable) but not enought. Any support from Zidoo team? I'll try soon to change the cable (even if it's a quality cable and working fine on the old mediaplayer ) to exclude any failure. Do i have to consider shipping the x10 back? may be a "connector" not correctly manufactured?
Last update. Now everything (almost) works. I changed the optical cable (with a less quality one) and it began working. The strange is that from that moment if i plug in back the previous cable now it works . It seems like it had to be "unlocked" by the second cable (i know it makes no sense...) The only things that is not working is the "pop" sound of the android menu (when u change the selection moving the highlited icon), sometimes it is not audible in the spdif out (obviously in stereo not 5.1) while in the jack rca it is always working perfectly. But this is an issue i can effort . I'd like to test it now with the 1.4.8 FW but i cannot anymore find it OTA or neither somewhere else. ..Do you know where to find it? Using 1.4.6 fw and zdmc 17 sometimes kodi crashes while passing videos to the native player (it plays but not returns to kodi at the end and not marking video as viewed). no more need to ship it back , that's a very good point for me.
1.4.12 came itself via OTA . No more issue in audio output, anywhere. Still some ZDMC crash while passing video to the external player. If you use ZDMC many audio is reproduced loosing the sync whith the video.
