wow - do you have no beta-testers to prevent such an amount of bugs in the beginning?

 

Right now, all people have X9S are.... tester.
Where is the download link? I'm free now.

 

why is 3d benchmark so low on this device? GFX gives me 113 frames.my shield makes 1600...

 

Yes !
Good question !
I even measured, that the Shield is 200g heavier than the Zidoo device !
Why ???

 

lol.let's put it another way...shield is in top of the list.x9s in the bottom.laggy as shit when playing YouTube videos,antutu 3d test nearly moves around.and same price as shield.so maybe someone with bigger IQ than shoenumber can tell my why all benchmark test gives so low score for realtek 1245.

 

Hi everyone,

one of the most used features for me is Youtube, I really hope it gets fixes soon!!!!
Got device today, playing around all the evening.

 

updated firmware.
youtube still glitchy. first minute it was playing ok. then glitches appeared back

 

Same here.i have 15 mb wired connection but Max from the app is around 1 mb.

 

Well, there feels to be a bug somewhere. My 3years old tv box with 1ghz single core cpu was running youtube smooth. Never ever issues with youtube.
Somethings smells to be over engineered, hopefully it is not marshmallow issue and zidoo team will get it solved.

 

@lars42
Hm, I don't think that anybody "with bigger IQ than shoenumber" is interested to answer your obviously irrelevant question.... think about it...
If you have a problem with YouTube, just describe your problem.... benchmarks will tell you nothing...

 

Anyone help with this? Just got my X9S trying to update the firmware but it fails everytime. I end up at this screen when it reboots? Can reboot back to system but the update fails.

Have tried putting the update on usb stick too and installing from there. Same error.

See attached pic for screen

 

well I don't agree with you about benchmark but that's OKi guess we get updates that fixes laggy apps like YouTube.have no lag on this app on zidoo x5.

 

lars42, what do you really mean when you say "laggy" ?
Have a look here: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/lag
But here more meanings: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lag
I'm not teaching! I'm trying to understand exactly what happens to you using Youtube app.

However, today I've flashed succesfully latest 1.2.3 FW, and done a "factory reset".
On X9S Youtube is not factory preinstalled, and to try a different interface (theoretically best suited for IR remote control instead then touch) I'd installed latest "Android TV" version, downloaded from APKMirror.
Well, except for some buffering here and there, runs fine and smooth.
Hope this will be useful for you.

 

pacoRabanne.thanks for the apk idea.that version runs smooth.whàt I mean with laggy?stuttering,stopping.not running smooth.

 

thanks PacoRabanne....
but a lot of people prefer the usual android youtube app , which works flawlessly in almost every android box , except for zidoo (x9s and x6 pro).... and after the 1.2.3 update , it runs smooth but only for a few seconds.
not to mention , the stutters on zdmc when playing 1080p mkv files from external harddrives.
in fairness, the video playback using the zidoo player is truly awesome (despite suffering VERY minor stutters after every 10 seconds or so).
i also noticed an hdmi color regression that i mentioned on a different thread.
i believe the zidoo x9s is better than the infamous himedia q10 pro (when it comes to their perspective default players). some tweaks and fixes are desperately needed.
thanks again

 

now I play some 4 K YouTube on both shield and x9s.same app version.no VP9 on x9s.

 

for me is Youtube laggy too

 

Performed the update. Before the update, the Miracast function didn't work with my Samsung Galaxy phones. After the update, still the same. Of course, I see it wasn't included in the updates so I wasn't expecting it to be addressed. Miracast works perfectly fine with my other Android boxes so it isn't the phones. Any plans to start looking at potential problems here?

The phones see the X9s and start to connect but time out because the X9s isn't picking up the request.

 

Hi:
Please check the PM.
