Hello, I have written my own app to power off Zidoo Z9S from computer. I have coded it for my own use. To make it work I need Zidoo Z9s to be rooted. How can I root Zidoo Z9S? Is there any official solution for it? I saw that there is only support for X9S. Can you help me how to root Z9S without any issues? Regards Marcin
I don`t know what exactly you mean. My own Android app works perfectly. I can power off my Zidoo Z9S from my own C# application, but I can also do it via url. I use it in the following way: 1) I am rendering my edited video from video cameras in Vegas Pro 17 software. 2) My C# app is listenining to the video file which is just rendering 3) When the rendering is finished, I can convert the rendered video, extract audio/video from it, split it to the parts, replace the audio track in the rendered video without reencoding in my C# application 4) When 3) is finished, I can upload these files/file into YouTube 5) When 4) is finished, I can upload these files into Zidoo Z9S via Samba drive 6) When 5) is finished I can power off Zidoo Z9S from my C# application and my own Android application 7) When 5) and 6) is finished, I can email the statistics about just rendering and converting/splitting into parts videos and then power off my computer Everything works after one click I don`t have any problems with network interface conncetion. The only thing I had to do is root Zidoo Z9S. I got the email from Zidoo service today with root apk for Zidoo Z9S.
It used to be that if "deep sleep" was <on>, on power down or standby, the NIC was powered off too so you have no way of powering by TCP/IP. I got around it by using RS232 which stays awake... but if "deep sleep" was set <off>, not only did RS232 not work to power on from standby, but also a powerOn via TCP/IP would actually switch the box into full power off, again killing the NIC. I guess this has been fixed... I might look at IP control again...
Zidoo Z9S shutdown call is not going over TCP/IP as it is for example in Wake On Lan call. I use my web domain which pass the traffic between my C# application and my Android app. The traffic can be managed by URL. My shutdown call is launching by my Android app. The code I used in my Android app to shutdown Zidoo Z9S is: try { Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime() .exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", "reboot -p" }); proc.waitFor(); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } After launching this code, shutdown is starting and then Zidoo Z9S LCD display is dark. It doesn`t display current time. I don`t know if this is deep sleep/power down/standby/power off in Zidoo Z9S.
Good call! - it never occurred to me to use <reboot -p> - so yes, I wonder how much of the box is still up - obviously the NIC, otherwise you'd not be able to switch it back on again which is the issue I originally came up against.. From memory, standby kept the display on and also HDMI active, although it produced black video so looked like it was off...
