v1.2.22, v1.2.22_G Beta version for Z9X 8K/Z30 PRO/Z3000 PRO/UHD8000 (UPDATE)

**UPDATE**

v1.2.22 has been released as a quick fix to an issue with Emby introduced in v1.2.20 but it is only available to those who use Emby.

It also fixes an issue in Jellyfin, but I think that's related to the Emby fix.

If you want to force download of v1.2.22, first open Emby from "Networks" in Media Center and then check updates. You can do this even if you don't use Emby.

Thanks for this - much appreciated

 

Thanks for the new firmware.

 

Thanks a lot mark and thanks the dev team.

 

Early testing, so far so good.

 

update not showing up. Ive checked beta box etc.

 

@Markswift2003
Still no fix for DTS and Dolby to Pcm conversion in DVD file? I could also open the DVD file menus, but that doesn't happen.

 

Updates are rolled out by MAC address so it can take a while.

 

I have never had any problems with my Zidoo Z9x 8k. Only this one with the conversion of Dts and Dolby audio to PCM. This only happened after an update. And an improvement in the Blu-ray and DVD menus would be welcome, it would be perfect. Thank you @Markswift2003

 

Unmounting the internal HDD still does not stop it. The disk disappears from the file manager, but continues to spin

 

Pardon if this is addressed elsewhere, Does it take days?

 

This time the download came immediately! I just installed the firmware and I haven't done any tests yet. But I saw that separate synchronization for Dolby and DTS was added in the audio menu! Interesting!

 

Not usually - I'd expect you to get it today.

 

Unfortunately there is no fix for abnormal down sampling PCM 2.0/96khz to 48 khz in videos.
This is very sad...

 

Will test this tomorrow but the changelog looks like it might resolve every outstanding issue I experience! Super excited and my wife will be even happier lol
- dts offset
- dv stutter
- music auto pausing
- mobile character input (not an issue, but a big win)

 

Not yet, but it's on my list.

I have a 96KHz sample to send to the devs, but I don't have a 192KHz sample (video) - if anyone has one it would be useful.

 

Thanks a lot for the update... but still wait the roll out in my area, as usual

 

still no dvd menu if dune can do it so can zidoo

 

Well, after about 4 hours of playing various files in 1080p, the picture and sound are great, the internal player has become very responsive without any bugs.
I guess the addition of the "HTTP ACCELARATOR (BETA)" works perfectly, so that's a BIG plus...
I'll test UHD DV files tonight in a projection, we'll see what happens next!!!
I have the feeling that this VERSION is born well this time!!

 

DVD menu works here.
