** HT3 is in beta - for a look see here: http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/home-theatre-update.75899/page-20#post-125328 ** Ok, I've been told I can talk about this one, so I hope that means I can post a link... Home Theatre v2.9.28 (11th April 2020) https://mega.nz/file/BSpzkSZT#MfaslXlBklTQvERK7XV_hdA6u30sEvm2kmrimc6SAcU The trailers now have a button to start and they play picture in picture which is much more user friendly than previously: Obviously still very much a beta, so any feedback regarding the trailers would I'm sure be gratefully received, particularly in the following cases: 1. Trailers do not start - spinning wheel remains on screen 2. Movies with multiple trailers where one works, but another does not 3. Trailers that crash HT2 and cause it to restart 4. Any other issues regarding Trailers Mark
So far if you go on the movie trailer starts playing auto in background if left alone and also if you click movie trailer both trailers work . if you go on to another movie and trailer dont auto start then ! Then clicking movie trailer icon trailer just spins round and round . so basically if movie poster has a trailer that auto starts ( mine is set to auto start in settings ) then clicking icon trailer it will work . No auto start trailer then trailer icon just spins round and round for me . so as such it works but depends on the Movies you have if that makes sense .
I'm finding that most movies don't start trailer 1, and a few have trailers 2 and or 3 working. I also find that trailers that work one day cease working the next, almost as if my IP has been logged and banned... If you have Blade Runner, Pan's Labyrinth, Easy Rider or The Incredible Hulk can you see if they crash HT2?
Blade runner auto starts trailer ! Then clicking on trailer icon whirls ........then crashes and goes back to movie poster wall .
Blade runner 2049 works on auto start , trailer 1 works plus trailer 2 works Go back to blade runner 1982 auto trailer works but clicking icon trailer again it crashes .
As you know if the trailer auto starts good chance all the trailers will work . Its hit or miss on the movies or diff movie posters you choose in your collection ? Note : using firmware 2.3.17 Model Z10 but dont think that makes a diff as seemed the same using previous firmware and the last update H.T.v2 2.8.0 ?
Plus noticed when on Movie poster wall nice touch of the actual movie name ( left hand side upper corner ) shows up after a delay matching same art work as movie poster . well never noticed it before it is new i take it ?
A bit hit a miss but a huge improvement. Most seem to work OK but quite a few have the following issues. Note: I have auto start off and on firmware 2.3.10. 1) Some will just fail and crash back to HT2 - e.g Aliens 2) Some just have an spinning wheel. I have to hit back button to get to Ht2 - e.g the TV series Intelligence 3) If has multiple trailers and the first is a spinning wheel - hitting the next key to second trailer generally works e.g 'A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon' 4) Doesn't work at all for any TV shows. Is to be fixed? If not should remove option for TV.
None of the trailers is playing. Maybe I have to restart the Z10. I'll try to do that just to check. But the title showing on the upper left side and the pop up window for the trailer is a really nice touch. Let's hope Zidoo fix the issues reported.
As always any software / firmware added req a reboot and at times a power off / mains plug pulled out for a few seconds It helps re set things .........
Additional New is that when you re match movie poster In poster search new mini thumbnails posters are shown in left hand side when choosing poster match inf etc . another nice touch for ease .
Strangely enough, all the movies (which seems to be most of them) that won't play trailers on the Z9S will play in the X9S... and they play smoother on the X9S too... Very odd...
