I agree, but more feedback from Tech Support would be welcome. Currently, I have to bump some of my threads to be taken into account. A more attentive team with users would be great. And this is not a language issue, because their english is understandable; but an attitude issue.
From my blu ray home theater: Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Anynet+ is a convenient fonction that offers linked operations with other Samsung products that have the Anynet+ feature and let you control those products with one Samsung TV remote. To operate this function, you must connect this product to an Anynet+ Samsung TV using an HDMI cable. I think it is clear, so goes with Bravia sync and any other so call CEC implementation. If your device do not have CEC (like Vizio TV) but one of those forget about support...
That's understandable, you could also say that popularity of Kodi partly came from the fact that it could play everything, on many hardwares... Answer I ultimately got from Kodi is that they develop Kodi for themselves and don't want to bother with realtek not following android standard (I may have pissed them off to be honest). They could also just integrate the code and not support it after all (seems more complex than that though, if there are side effects...). For realtek it's probably great for what I know, but it's probably far easier in terms of maintenance when you use the same chipset as all (most) other boxes, like the thousands of amlogic Something else, I had some annoying issue with samba/SSH slow as hell after some hours of uptime, and it seems it's gone with 1.4.8. Thanks Zidoo
Probably, you do not hear me. The developers have already achieved success on/off through the CEC but later broke "on/wakeup" function for several TV models.
With this update I got Colours broken. On my LG Oled colors became darker, I don't see now shades of dark it's all dark. It's present with any content HD or HDR. I tried different settings of YbrCbr and auto. Tried a hard reset. It looks as if the signal is going in full RGB 4.4.4 no matter what settings are set. It can be fixed if I change brightness setting on Zidoo but that's not a right way out.
DolbyVision, I can onfirm, similar situation at me, LG OLED and darker images, less dark using RGB 4.4.4 forced.
Hello all, I would like to report a problem with subtitles encoding with f/w 1.4.8. It has to do with the encoding setting for the greek subtitles. When you want to change the encoding to Windows 1253 on the fly it does not work and the subtitles display as garbage. With the previous fw 1.4.6. the subtitles where parsed on the fly and converted to Windows 1253 with no problem. Can you please investigate, thanks!
This is for be a dealbraker in the meantime (don't use the X9S anymore - the ZDMC implementaion is very poor from Zidoo (crashed almost every time when after playing a 720p video, sucks with live TV (and just stereo for audio). When Zidoo (or its supplier) would be fully compliant to the Android API standards as Kodi is using them I might would revert my opinion.
crash are not related to android API, only passtrough is, your crashes are related to something else, i'm using the box every day and i never have crashes,
Gotta love that quality of "being Homer Simpson" on all levels... 1. I told them about three times, that looking up a TVs EDID and then deciding which signal (full or limited) to send, was a bad idea. They didnt listen. The result is this. 2. I told them about three times, that defaulting to YCbCr FULL is a bad idea, because NO ONE uses it in practice, even though it might be possible according to the standard, starting from a certain HDMI version/revision. They didnt listen. 3. Because you can count on NO millenial to ever read a manual these days (the LGs dont even come with one anymore... - because cost), and reddit culture being famous for making the stupidest answer the most prevelant, people now are now sharing tips again, that make things worse instead of solving issues. -- As the user: Dont touch brightness. Your TV (LG OLED but also other) has a setting called "black level". Switch that and hope, that it solves your issue. Switching to limited instead of auto is a possibility as well, that does the same "switch" on the X9S side instead of the TV side. As Zidoo: Default to YCbCr 4:2:2 limited, ALWAYS. If the Zidoo is set to Auto and the TV supports full signal range, default to YCbCr 4:2:2 limited as well. No one expects YCbCr to deliver a full range signal. TVs dont autoswitch, and you are making the image worse for many of your customers, just by pushing out a YCbCr 0-255 signal as a default. ALSO - make sure that you dont clip any of the 16-235 color levels in ZDMC and in the GUI, when YCbCr limited is put out - because currently you might do (wesk05 has provided you with a table of output color levels in different signal modes already). This is a bug, fix it. ALSO - look into the black level missmatches in your own player (in ZDMC), the kodi player (in ZDMC), and MATCH them with the blacklevel of the GUI. Its not normal, that a player outputs three different blacklevels, depending on the app you are using, and the videomode that the auto setting set. ALSO - do it. Again, this is something that will make me not recommend Zidoo Players to anyone, because I know, that people wont try to fix this, by finding "the correct setting".
@n_p: Did you see these new pictures for the upcoming firmware? Notice that @mirror has implemented 2 new luminance levels: Limited (16-235) and Full (0-255). Does this fix solve your color issue or not? Thanks
