Please check "Receive the beta version" on the upgrade interface to upgrade online

 

Great, we're going to test this Weekend.....in fact out of 50 changes, there are 23 that particularly interest me, including especially the
No. 50 = optimized system stability!!!!
To be continued.....

 

Blimey that must be the longest list I've ever seen for a Zidoo update! Impressive.

 

I just checked and I can't download it from my player.. is it because I have the G version?

 

Same here, but non G version.

 

Great stuff @mirror !!!

 

Enable Receive the beta version

 

Disney UHD bluray TrueHD Atmos drop outs fixed. Played Cars for about three minutes and none of the audio glitches present

 

Paramount full blurays still stick after playing Paramount intro logo. Tested on Vanilla Sky UHD

 

No 2.35 display function on the list

 

Yep, did that.. maybe the Z3000 G version is not there yet.

 

39. Added a shortcut setting for selecting a screensaver

I installed Fotoo app at last using Aptoide app but another issue. I bought the app so it can be used as a system screensaver. However as I don't have play store it does not recognise it as a paid app and prompts to upgrade to premium. When I click 'Upgrade' nothing happens as no play store. Sigh!

 

For a next update, a shortcut that would allow you to assign the lighting adjustment of the front panel display, to one of the colored buttons on the remote control, would be really welcome !

 

Update finally worked.

 

That's some change log.

 

So you were on 1.1.38_G and you have now auto updated to 1.1.42_G?

 

I just tried to upgrade to the G version of the beta (42) using the download link above. However, it says I am unable to upgrade because the G version listed on the forum is at a lower level (38). I currently have installed the Beta for 1.42 non G version. How do I get the G version of 1.41 so I can change to the G version.

 

Need to wait for the 1.1.42 - 1.1.42_G diff package to be made available. Hopefully it will be there soon.

 

How so, given that the site no longer lists versions of the software? McBluna used to list all these versions, but this is no longer available. On the forum I only see the original 1.38 package.

 

@mirror has indicated a corresponding G version would always be available.
