    **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.

    *************

    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

    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! :)

    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.

    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!! :rolleyes:
