    Anyone's faced a serious lagging or delay in remote functionality? Is it the remote or the OS causing slower response?

    issue with z20pro : Dolby Truehd and DTS master HD dropping constantly in the middle of the movie and its shuttering to dolby atmos and pcm and getting to the original audio source ,

    this issue after new update , not rectified . i have tested many files .

    after update two major issues : 1 . Transfer speed reduced to 40MBPS
    2 . Audio shuttering in between movie .

    I think I resale the zidoo because the bugs is not correction. Every movie I play I have the lag of the video. STOP ! Thank you for the no consideration Go r_volution pro 8k

    Nope.

    Both: Weak IR remote batteries... and the responsiveness of the OS depends on the current screen refresh rate... Smaller refresh = weaker responsiveness.
    At least these are my observations.

    But some say that bluetooth remote is fixing that.

    I sold a Z20 Pro to friend and have no complaint from him. With this update. Plug n play

    Interesting observation I have had of late…My z2000 was always in a pretty confined space without good airflow. I changed this about 2 weeks ago and have watched a whole bunch of movies. Content was a mix of video and audio codecs, not a single issue with the choppy playback.

    Maybe a coincidence, but food for thought. Since allowing the unit to breath more, no problems.

    Agree! But in my case, its a remote button that is not working properly, and I have to press it really hard in order to function. A few buttons that I see mostly have started failing and have to be pressed really hard. This has never been the case with my LG TV remote or even set-top box remote. So I dismantled the remote and cleaned it using PCB cleaner solution, and it worked, but again, after a month or so, it started behaving the same.

    I am glad that I am not the only one who has this problem.

    I hate the poor remote hardware quality of Z9X Pro. Zidoo needs to make a bit more robust buttons. Some of the buttons that ha been used regularly needs to pres harder in order to operate.

    Error report:
    Recently there was flickering in two Dolby Vision-based films (Strange Darling/In a violent nature). Switching from TV-led to player-led DV didn't bring any improvement. Only deactivating DV on TV and playback via HDR10 was then error-free.

    Probably RPU interaction - there are some DV movies where the RPU compensates for unstable encoding in the enhancement layer so when you play back without the enhancement layer, the RPU is compensating for something that isn't there and so you see flickering.

    The new AML players overcome this by removing enhancement layer remapping elements in the RPU on the fly.

    Thank you very much for your explanation. Is the flicker problem related to the DV 7 FEL issue/incompatibility?

    Not sure what you mean by FEL issue?

    According to the Coreelec Forum (source: https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/best-device-for-coreelec-in-2024/52405), only certain chipsets such as S905X4-J and S922X-J support DV 7 Full Enhancement Layer (FEL) playback. Therefore, I wondered if the flickering could be a visible effect of the incompatibility/not full support of the RTD 1619BPD chipset with DVD7 FEL.
    What do you think?

    Well, yes of course - these SOCs don't support FEL (they don't have a second HEVC decoder) and no claims have ever been made that they do (except Dune who tried to blag people with some dodgy wording).

    So yes, that's exactly what I said above - some (very few) titles are mastered badly with a (for want of a better description) flickering in the enhancement layer. I've only ever seen this in two titles, the notorious Dolby encode of Saving Private Ryan and from memory, the original Halloween. One of the many reasons Dolby Vision is such an arse.

    As I said, since this is compensated for by adjustments in the RPU, if you just take the RPU on its own, this generates a flicker in the base layer.

    On the new players this is fixed with an on the fly adjustment to the RPU which removes such remapping and effectively generates a Profile 8 RPU.

    I have a Z9X Pro using 1.0.9,5 software. I use a couple of external rotating drives connected to the SATA interface (one at a time, of course). In my collection, I have only a few hundred .avi files. It turns out that the device won't play any of them, stating simply, "Can't play video". I re-encoded a dozen or two into .mkv, but to my surprise I have the same result. Those files (both .avi and .mkv versions), play fine on a Windows device (using players such as VLC, Plex and Kodi), so the problem is not inherently the movie files themselves.

    I suspect there is a simple solution that I am not aware of because I am a new user.

    Thanks for your time.


    RFT!!!

    AVI and MKV are just containers, it depends on the codec as to whether these files are playable. I suspect from what you've said that they're divx files (or packed bitstream files).

    A MediaInfo report will tell you.
