New version v6.3.60 for Z9X/Z10 Pro/Z1000 Pro/UHD3000 release[16 Dec OTA pushed]

I tried doing a backup once before. When I selected the backup option it did its thing for a while then said it was done, so I erased everything. Then when I went to restore it I found out that it was gone. So if you could tell me step by step how to do that. I would really appreciate it.

 

I'm not sure why that would happen - backup takes a backup of the SQL database and appropriate settings - and restore does what it says.

I would save the backup to either a USB stick or a network location - maybe create a folder where your movies are called backup and save it in there.

I'm sure this is what you did before, but go to HT/Setting/Library and select your chosen location with the drop down box:



Hit Backup:



You see this:



Then a few seconds later this:



Now go to Restore and navigate to the saved location and select the file:



Hit Restore:





And bam!



Now when HT restarts give it a little time - this is just a restore of the database so it has to trundle off and gather coverart and the first time you open the poster folder it needs to repopulate like a fresh install.

 

Thanks a lot! Now am I doing all this to rebuild a database that isn't corrupt? Or am I just checking to see if that was the issue?

 

Basically just to give you a fallback position.

You could try deleting your collection and redo it but you must call it something new because even though you delete it, database housekeeping isn't very tight and the entries still remain in the tables. Again, this is just a test to see if creating a new collection in a category works.

I suspect the way out of this is to reset HT and rescan but if you do that, once you have the posterwall exactly how you want in terms of posters, collections, categories etc, then go to HT/Settings/Library/Export and export coverart and NFOs.

That way, if anything goes wrong you can rescan with local resources and all your collections etc should come back as they were.

With all the messing about I do I create all sorts of headaches for the database, so I've become very adept at resetting and rescanning with local resources and getting back to where I was... The whole process takes me a just few minutes.

 

Just noticed a bug in Backup/Restore..

If you use local art, although backup and restore works, it only uses online artwork and ignores local art...

 

Please tell me what version of the music player is now? I have it listed as 5.0, is this normal? It seems to be 6 .. it should be. Or I'm wrong?
Thanks.

 

Hi,

I have the VS10 engine on which I was testing and noticed that when I playback hdr10 or DV with the vs10 engine on for all content that the output says.

RGB 8bit

 

Thats the correct behavior. It sends TV led Dolby Vision, which is encapusled in an 8 bit RGB signal. Nothing to worry, you are not loosing any bits

 

It was corrupt. I just made The Same Collection but called it something different and added it to The same Category but called that something different as well, and now it works. Thanks for the help.

 

MP5?!

 

That looks not right. Maybe try a factory reset?

 

What does it say in the top left of the app when you've opened it?

 

I'm sorry, yes, 6.0. Probably just a mistake.

 

Going to APP's selecting MP and pressing Menu will show the actual APK version.

 

Yes! v. 6.9.78
Thanks.

 

Hi..I have downloaded both files for Z9X to USB and connected to Z9X. From Home -> Click on Update Button -> USB Update
Selected the USB drive and download folder. I only see two folders META-INF & System. Doesn't show any files to update. I can see other files from Computer. Copied the same to internal Memory Download folder. Its same, no other files except META-INF & System folders.
How to install this FW from USB?

 

Seems like to extracted the FW. Just leave it as is.

 

What do you mean? Do I click on something to get it install?

 

Download the .zip, do not extract it and just put in on your thumb drive.

 

Ahh..Got it. Thank you.
