v1.1.70 Beta version for Z9X 8K/Z30 PRO/Z3000 PRO/UHD8000

I have this happen now and then also.

 

I usually pay extra for that...

 

he likes rum and whiskey....it might confince him

 

when no use screensaver all its ok, no blackscreen after resume, no stuttering...with screensaver activated when pause movies all issues up ...

 

LOL.. yep.. been going on for me since day one.. its bit better now.. but lots of Frame stutter, usually have to stop the video, then resume and works ok again, or then screen goes black few times with the
dolby vision logo popping in and out.

 

I've never got DV logo popping in-out, it maybe your display issues. Have you tried with another one?

 

It also happens to me from day one, in some DV movies.

 

Can someone please test this custom poster image to see if it's working in HT? too many .png files show as blank in my collection and they work fine on my PC and also worked fine on the last 2 Zidoo boxes.

 

No.. its not display issue.. its the same issue others noticed here.. If I turn off screen saver.. it goes away, but thanks for the input.

@Markswift2003 Per our PM conversation, I did some more testing on 16x9 movies. The 2 I tested, A Mighty Wind and Four Christmases both had letterboxing on the tops and bottoms. My PJ is set to my 16x9 lens memory and if I switch to my AppleTV (and don't touch the PJ, just change inputs on the processor) both movies play fine and fill the correct space on the screen. Aspect ratio is set to "Compression (GUI) and "Native" on the individual file. Attached 2 pics of both films.

Even stranger, if I play Christmas with the Cranks (2.4), with the projector on the 2.4 lens memory setting, it has letterboxing on the top and bottom. And the GUI is cutoff after you stop playback. I have pics of the GUI before, playback w/ letterboxing and then after stopping playback and the GUI is cutoff. If I reboot the Player, it reverts to the normal GUI being displayed. I experienced the same issue with 15 Minutes. Letterboxing on the top and bottom of the movie and the GUI is off once playback is stopped.

The issue seems to only affect SDR/1080p content. I played 13 Hours 4K (2.4) and it displayed fine. I played Jurassic Park 4K (1.85) and it displayed fine. I disabled The VS10 engine to convert SDR to DV just to see if that made a difference and it did not. Right now HDR Output is set to "Auto" so everything is playing natively. Once more, every movie that displayed improperly on the Zidoo played perfectly on the ATV, same lens setting on the PJ. Just changing inputs on the processor.

Something is clearly wrong. Not sure if there was a recent update that adjusted scaling or something, but its driving me nuts right now that I cannot properly use my new player. Help me! lol

 

The things that are not working so far every time I play the Dolby Vision movie it just keeps on stuttering. The aspect ratio is always wrong and when you skip forward, it stutters and legs. This used to be Zidoo's best feature they used to have the quickest forward and backward of any device. It was as quick as watching a movie on your computer and scrolling forward to backwards but now it just lags. I don't know what the problem is if it's maybe a new hardware but they should be fixing these issues ASAP. Almost forgot that Dolby vision colors are way off.

 

Has to be an issue with your
File
Settings
HDMI cable
Or lan if using smb

Im playing DV movies almost every day since i got my Z30 8k ,and theres only 1 issue ive seen so far ...occassionally a movie will get to around the 45 min mark ,then Video will pause ,while audio continues on
DV colours are nicer than previous models
I use the slide forward or back on timeline a lot ,and it works same as all previous models

Maybe provide your full setup details ie like my sig and also whether your playing the files over lan via smb or direct via usb

 

I'm running the file from my Synology to the player I also have Nvidia shield and an Apple TV no problems with those units no stuttering no lag the problem with forwards and backwards was for the first day when I bought the Unit and the zidoo does not change to the correct aspect ratio. I have also tried the latest beta version with that version they have fixed some of the color issues with Dolby vision but the other issues remain.

 

forward and back ...are you using the left /right on the central OK thing ,or the fwd/rev buttons,above it .From what ive seen posted on these threads ,the SOC from the new chip maker ,doesnt support REV function at all

Try using a usb external hdd direct to the box ,just to test the issues direct , ie bypassing any network or synology issues
Ie ppl in posts above have said they have to set the smb specificlly to cover smb 1 2 3 (i think they said ) . if it was set to smb3 only ,they were having stutter issues

but again easy to check whether box issue or lan out issue ,but running the files direct on usb

the aspect ratio sounds like its just a setting since its working fine for everyone else ...ie not an issue ppl have been stating ,unless its to do specificly with ratios on projectors

 

So I tried putting in a hard drive same issue it stutters I also checked the settings for the aspect ratio and it is set to normal 16:9 I have also had problems with playing VC-1 files. These are the issues right now and I don't know why, but sometimes when I start up the unit, the TV cannot find the device. I have to restart the unit a couple of times for it to work again. And I am using an OLED screen not a projector.

 

After installing V1.1.70 on zidoo z3000 pro there is a black screen sometimes in a few minutes with Dolby vision. My settings are the same as with the old V 1.1.38, so the problem is only from the firmware. Is there a solution to the question?

 

One thing it can be is tvLED I put it on tvLED Auto and it fix the colors but maybe that is the reason why it's stuttering I will try as soon as I come home and report back.

 

It was Tv Led auto, after that I tried TV Led passthrough Auto - it was the same black screen for 3-4 seconds.
