New firmware v2.1.40 beta version for ZIDOO X20 released

The option is listed in the first post as 'Optimize HDR display (available MaxFALL and MaxCLL output)', but I don´t see it in any menu or info screen.

Thanks in advance.

 

These are not options but HDR variables which the player should now react to implicitly. No idea how to test this exactly, but some HDR pictures used to come out very dark which may have been caused by not reading/using these variables.

 

This is my configuration:

Quick Settings\Other\About\Advanced Settings\HDMI Rx Functions set "HDMI Rx version" to <2.0>
Quick Settings\Other\About\Advanced Settings\Developer Options set "Ignore EDID" to <On>
Quick Settings\Playback\Automatic Frame Rate set "Frame Rate Mode" to <Only Frame Rate>
Quick Settings\Display\HDMI Mode set to <3840x2160p 23Hz>
Quick Settings\Display\Color Settings set "Deep Color Mode" to <Auto>
Quick Settings\Display\Color Settings set "Color Space Mode" to <Auto>
Quick Settings\Display\Color Settings set "HDMI Range Mode" to <16-235>
Quick Settings\Display\HDMI Output\Main Vice-port Separation Mode
Quick Settings\Display\HDR set to <AUTO>
Quick Settings\Audio set "HDMI Audio" to <RAW>

 

Any news about the next firmware?

 

I am still having issues adding backdrop images for titles missing on the latest firmware, see this post for more details on my problems. Is anyone else having the same issue with the 2.1.40 firmware?

 

I don´t have any problem changing backdrop images, my files are stored in two WD RED 8TB for the internal HDD bays.

 

I don't have any problems with back drop images, i have a Qnap 4 bay nas, filled with 4tb wd reds, you can alter the location where the images are stored in the settings, have you tried that ?

 

Which setting do you currently have for image storage?

I have the default setting and i have tried to add backdrop images stored both on my Synology NAS & a USB stick. None of them works,
Very odd..

 

i have mine on the default setting, on my Qnap NAS i had to give the X20 full read and write. have you tried inserting a disk in to the x20 with films on it, then add that as a source and run the scan to see if the images come down to it

 

Just an info... the latest STABLE firmware is the 2.1.40 or 1.2.28? I've updated my X20 to the 2.1.40 via USB because via OTA not was present the update. The result... so many crashes (black window, need to turn off with the button, etc.)!
That you for help me!

 

for me 2.1.40 beta is pretty stable. im not using any extras like gapps or root

 

Last stable version is 2.1.30, but in my setup 2.1.40 doesn´t have those crashes.

You can flash the unit and install 2.1.30 via USB, obviously at your own risk.

 

I also have no problems. re load firmware. reprogram remote

 

Are you sure? Where can I find this release? On the Zidoo website I see only the 2.1.40 or 1.2.28....

 

I would try reloading 2.1.40 again first. also make sure you have the x20 version.

 

Ok, I'll try!

 

And do a factory reset after installing the firmware, this is very important.

 

Has anyone got an idea when the new firmware will be released ?

 

...same question fro me!

I Guess only the Zidoo folks can answer.

Considering that the 2.2.56b was released weeks ago for the other RTD1296 Players, I wonder why this is not rolled out for the x20.

 

Perhaps they are using the z10 etc as a test bed first
