New firmware v1.2.4 for ZIDOO X9S release

Haha. Well. Buggy comes from IT slang.. "Something that has bugs. Errors. Problems. ", buggy code. Buggy specific program. Buggy mkv

 

Yes but problematic would had been more apropriate.....

 

HmHmmm.... is strange... video test demo in link no playing with MEDIA CENTER Zidoo for me. Possible video is 10bit ?? with ZDMC KODI no tested...

 

issue with this release:
in movie theater, on nas when mapping more than one folder only the last can be played, if folder are on different volumes it is impossible to play movie
in kodi all works fine

only me?

 

pleaqse an external tool to manage manually the cover, internal tool is awful

 

Is firmware 1.2.4 best for update from 1.2.3 or wait for next release firmware ?

 

wait for next...

 

i explain movie theater issue:

NAS with two phisical volume
volume1 - one folder A
volume2 - two folder B and C

i add A, movies are played
i add B, movie in B are played, movie in A impossible to play
i add C, movie in C are played, movie in B wrong play like SbS 3d, movie in A impossible to play

i try adding folder in different order but the result is the same:
only last folder added works other not

with previous firmware there wasn't this issue



i explain cover issue

i change title in tool or on movie somethimes it works sometimes worngs and not recognized
no way to set right

 

I will wait for next release Firmware.

There is a bug in the Standby Mode:
Occurs only with a SATA attached HDD, the external SATA HDD is being powered-off which may cause the box to hang in the shut-down procedure.
Happens most of the times only occasionally it succeeds (probably a timing issue and may vary from HDD to HDD) . Obviously it needs a manual power cycle to get it back up.

The Full power-OFF mode does not have this problem, but has a long time to boot with a SATA HDD attached (up to 1 min). Without it takes roughly 30 sec.

 

Hello,
I have same problem like Nice Monkey. HDD is mounted via SATA and has not been visible after standby.

More issues:
* SAMBA hostname is not visible in local network (can join only via IP adress)
* SAMBA directory listing is very slow
* Missing SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) support

Thanks,
(v1.2.4)

 

Any prompt when the movie can't play happened?
We are testing this , but haven't recur it by far.

You secondly problem,
The theater fetch the posters and other information from IMDB and DOUBAN,
If your movie's name or Bluray folder's name match the name in IMDB, the information should be fetched.
Rarely, A poster IMDB put on is too large to fetch under a limited time. Then the process delayed and quit.

 

Hi guys, I need your help.
Finally got today my x9s. The f/w installed is v1.2.3.
Before starting anything I thought I'd flash it to v1.2.4
so I downloaded the ZIDOO_X9S_OTA_v1.2.4.zip file but I can't find any install.img file.
Where can I find this file?
...and after I flash the device - is there anything else I need to do with the ZIDOO_X9S_OTA_v1.2.4.zip file?

Thanks for your help !

 

There is a serious problem with the new support for DVD Menus:
- Introduced with FW 1.2.4 Menu support. Before all DVD's played the mainmovie
- About half of the DVD's (with Menu's that is) will remain stuck at the Menu. The item selection is shown by a highlight but it can't be moved or selected. In other words the cursor moves don't work and neither the OK button to get at least the movie started.

Effective the DVD support degraded with this release. Can provide examples, but the problem is common on many examples I tried from old to recent.
Also missing are the options (like with BD) to select chapters and titles. Here these capabilities might have been a good workaround. Moving between Chapters (using the up down buttons on the remote) is always essential also with a correctly working Menu Support.

 

Just move the total ZIP to an USB drive, insert it and select UPDATE Local on the main menu.
If you play DVD's you may like the current FW more.

 

Thank you.
Upgraded the device to 1.2.4.
First impression - build quality is great... quite impressed. Will start testing it properly over the next few days.
So far I tried to play a few 4k files located on a HDD (connected through USB 3.0), all seem to play great, both through ZDMC and the Media Center.
However, one MKV file (the Hateful Eight, 4K, x.264 30.3Mb/s @ 24.000fps, 8bit) didn't play well through ZDMC (not smooth...and stuttering) but played perfectly through the media center. I didn't change any of the default video settings.

 

Both use different players. Media center uses the Zidoo stock player and ZDMC uses the standard KODI player with only slight modifications to match HW specifics for audio passthrough etc.

 

Hello zidoo
