This is driving me crazy! Just about every time I play a film (I'm using ZDMC 17.3 and the external player) I get the message that ZDMC has stopped. I'm on firmware 1.4.12. I have all of my media stored on various servers and for cross platform purposes they are all accessed via SMB shares. The films will normally play through okay but then, obviously, when the film ends I'm left at the home screen and have to launch ZDMC again. However, if I do that then the next film I play will have playback problems (audio playing loud scratchy noises) and I end up having to reboot the X8. There are other issues too one of which I'll mention: I have ZDMC set to auto launch when the X8 boots. This works fine unless the X8 has been shut down via a CEC command i.e. when I turn my PJ off it also turns off the AVR and the Zidoo. If that happens then ZDMC doesn't auto launch. It's pretty much at the state now that I have to reboot the box every time I want to watch something new! Not good. Is anybody else having these problems? Any suggestions anybody? Cheers JMP
Hi We can not duplicate the first issue. Can you provider more information: 1. How did you upgrade to 1.4.12? upgrade by ota or flash by USB image? from which version? 2. How did you install ZDMC. on the previous version or just installed on 1.4.12? For the second issue. We are trying to fix it now.
Hi Dylan 1. I upgraded ota from 1.2.12 2. I had to uninstall ZDMC 16.1 before I could install 17.3 so it was in effect a clean install. If I access the exact same files via a upnp shared library on another (Libreelec) Kodi machine then ZDMC doesn't stop. It only seems to happen if it is using it's own local database.
Same problems here. My answers: 1. I upgraded from 1.4.6 via USB image flash 2. I uninstalled ZDMC 17.1 before installing 17.3 Every time I play a video I get “ZDMC has stopped working” no matter what I do. Kodi internal play doesn’t crash but it has no sound (using pass through).
Hi jmp1963 & X8fan: I try to reproduce the issue, but I can't. Could you please catch the log to me. We have a tool to catch log of system. find below link to get and use it. https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/guide_step/guide_target/Z+3XS+3[ld]ZnVKKmVViAFMcQ==.html Then send to log file to me (dl@zidoo.tv). Thanks
Good day! I have Zidoo x8 Updated from version 1.4.6 to version 1.4.12 using a usb flash. After the updates began to appear: Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped When this message occurs for different processes. Helped a little to clear the memory, delete multiple application frequency of such reports has decreased significantly.
Hi Dylan. I sent you a log a few days ago and wondered if you had made any progress. I have since uninstalled ZDMC 17.3 and re-installed several times but still encounter the same problem. I also installed the build from forum member cobric in the x9 forum but exactly the same thing happens (except the error message is that Kodi has stopped). I cleaned all data and did a fresh install each time. Thanks JMP
I've never had this problem before in all previous versions of ZDMC and firmwares, but this is definitely the worst problem so far. I also can't use internal player because it doesn't have sound. So please Zidoo team, fix this ASAP! I'm willing to be on alpha firmware if it means I can finally play something again!
Does anybody have a link to download ZDMC 17.1 so I can give it a try? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I might then be able to determine whether it is ZDMC/Kodi that is causing the problem or the new firmware. Thanks in advance. JMP

Same issue on my side. X9s Fw 1.4.12 Zdmc 17.1/17.3 Device rooted, due to the need mapping to a nfs share, having the path available for kodi and external zidoo player Issue occurs not every time I start a movie, but poorly very often. Can I provide/perform supportive tasks or info?
Just to confirm that the issue still occurs with ZDMC 17.1 (as noted by Phantomgnom above). Is anybody having the same problem with ZDMC 16.1? If so it would point to the new firmware causing the issue. Can anybody get hold of ZDMC 16.1 to test this or do I need to do a complete hard reset on my box to get it back?
Same here,USB installed. Please check KODI version of ZDMC. Also, Kodi 17.4 known for quitting with no error, espcially with IPTV.
So I've gone back to ZDMC 16.1 but still on 1.4.12 firmware. It behaves pretty well and seems to launch the Zidoo external player every time without crashing although when the Zidoo player is launched it takes no notice of the default audio track flag and just plays the first one. On 16.1 I can even use the ZDMC internal player for most things except 3D. Unfortunately I'm now back with all the problems that 16.1 had namely: The Movie Database scraper doesn't work (so having to use a modified UMS), scraping is really slow, no passthrough of HD or Multi-Channel Flac, etc, etc. I tried using the internal ZDMC player on 17.1 and 17.3 but it doesn't get 23.796 frame rate right and rounds it up to a full 24. At least 16.1 gets that right! So it would appear that it is ZDMC Krypton that is causing the crashing problems as it launches the external player - Any chance you can have another go at fixing it for us Dylan? Cheers JMP
