    The success of zidoo today depends on the constructive suggestions put forward by people like you and mark. What I said the other day doesn't want to cause any controversy. I just want to say that we didn't ignore any opinions.
    Let's stop this meaningless argument. Back to the essence of things

    And as I said in a previous message I am waiting for your next FW to see what you propose to fix various problems

    Hello all,

    My Atmos 2018 demo disc works fine but my other 3 iso's (DTS vol23/vol24 and atmos 2016) don't work or crash HT 4.0 or it works in one out of every two.

    it is not stable and it is like Russian roulette

    [​IMG]



    An another example with my Indiana Jones UHD collection and my Tranformers UHD collection, the BDmenu doesn't work or sometimes yes it's random and really frustrating. (I have other ISO/ISO DV that have the same problem)

    [​IMG]

    -------------------------

    obviously there are other problems and not only the BDmenu one

    --------------------------

    I have nothing against Zidoo, but with Nice Monkey's review about the new Dune HD vision, it seems to me that for my use the Dune HD Vision seems to be a better choice now.

    There is a lack of stability with some features that are not corrected and that spoils the experience.

    Some corrections they announce in their changelog are not...


    I have been waiting and hoping for several months but nothing is happening.

    I think it's time for me to look elsewhere, I'm still hopeful that Zidoo can fix/improve some of the features that they promote on their website.

    I'm not opening a debate and this is only my opinion.

    See you soon

    Good continuation to Mark and all the others

    PS:
    @mirror,
    I asked to have my Beta Tester logo removed several days ago, could you please do so, thank you.

    Hello,

    I hope you are well,

    I have just created a Facebook GROUP to talk and help new users in choosing their multimedia box and in particular zidoo devices of which I have been a big fan for a long time

    [​IMG]

    So do not hesitate to come and participate and become a member if you wish.

    Of course, Zidoo employees are also welcome

    Owners of Dune HD Vision or Shield TV devices are also welcome

    I will be adding content regularly about my Zidoo devices with the new FWs and posterwalls.

    see you soon

    I can just say that I am happy to see the many fixes and quality improvements constantly made to the Zidoo line of media players.
    My own reported problem list is getting shorter and shorter with these updates too.

    Let's keep up the spirit and concentrate on advancing this already excellent player. ;)
    I don't see the need to remove the Beta test group banner seen the amount of time we spend on testing and reporting. Some always will give negative reactions. Who cares!

    I do take my Z9X already along on my longer holiday journeys with a pair of JBL bluetooth speakers (old FW for Stereo L/R pairing). :p

    Hello Nice Monkey,

    on my side and with the installation of the last FW, I have several problems which appeared.

    I followed your advice by doing a reset and/or restarting my box even the problems are still there.

    I also deleted and redid my sources to see if it was coming from me but the problem is still there.

    On my side and I say it without animosity, it is not as positive as for you

    See you soon

    PS:

    It doesn't matter if you remove the beta tester logo or not, but at the same time it's not complicated to do so.
    Why remove it, well because I am not a beta tester simply

    Zidoo is working hard on improvements and are also clearly listening to customers. I have no clue why the Menu processing is not improved?
    It for sure can be done but I am not so sure it can be done (easily) keeping the many typical Zidoo options also available during playback with menus?

    This is the big differentiation point of the competition which handles playback with menus as if it is a disc based player with only matching features of such a player plus the optional features provided by the disc itself (java driven)

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Z9x connected to a synology NAS.

    I am using NFS. its for movies only.

    Positives:

    1) I can add sources from the nas (with no issues after setting up nfs permissions in the synology)
    2) Folders appear to scrape fine. not more than 100 files per folder
    3) I can play files via Media center (from the NAS) with no problems
    4) a subfolder is created in the nas by the zidoo for posters. (i setup the zx9 to use this custom directory)

    Negative:

    not a single poster/background/image displays in HT 4. tried editing an individual film to test, but again nothing displays in ht4 artwork wise..

    the films are listed. just not the images...

    tried intelligent & tmdb scrape to no avail

    Its driving me barmy. :(

    Can anyone offer any help?

    thanks

    Hello,

    Maybe try a reset?

    I had a lot of problems when I switched to 6.3.22 with my Z9X (see my facebook page)

    I gave up because it didn't give me anything positive no matter what I did (reset, recreate my sources, etc...) and yet I only installed the new FW, it's turned off and I'm using the Z1000PRO which didn't have any major problem when I installed the new FW

    See you soon

    Open HomeTheatre settings
    Library \clear data

    additionally you can delete cash file from storage, open media center, in settings set show hidden files on, and than delete .HomeTheatre folder from the root.

    After the latest update (6.3.40), Zidoo Z10 Pro can't download subtitles. Neither in English nor in the 2nd language I have chosen (Greek).

    My ISP has forbidden access to opensubtitles.org.

    Is-there any way to override this restriction?

    In HT 4.0 how do I rename a whole misnamed TV show at once rather than one episode at a time? I removed it from my library but when I get the proper result for the show I can only rename one episode. They all say “ignore” after them. I’d like to rename them all at once to the correct show.

    This may affect the internet speed negatively? Any suggestion on which DNS IP I should use?

    No, use google (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) or those from cloudflare (1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1) for ipv4 or else. Personally I am happy with those from cloudflare
