v1.2.40, v1.2.40_G Beta version for Z9X 8K/Z30 PRO/Z3000 PRO/UHD8000

Just out of curiosity, what audio/sub tracks does scenario 1 & 2 have? (number and type).

 

Also what profile? Are they both the same profile? how long are the files? Is time a factor? Is DV really a factor?

I can play Profile 5 and or Profile 7 DV files back to back and get no stutter whatsoever, so back to back playback isn't a factor. At least in my setup.

You see where I'm going with this.

 

....and this makes absolutely no sense to me.

The 2nd episode has quite the same data. Same codecs, encoders, settings, etc.

I think there is nothing special about the data.

But why the hell is that happening @ my config? Again: Could the screensaver causes this issue? I am not sure whether I paused the video for a closet ride. Otherwise It must have to do with the pause function....other reasons who have to do with the user (me) do not come into my mind.

And to answer a question: it ONLY happens with DV /// SDR and HDR10(+) is absolutely fine no matter how many films I watch or how many times I pause etc.

 

Try disabling screen saver during pause - it's known to cause problems and hasn't been fixed yet:

If you have VIDEO STUTTER please check THESE SETTINGS (updated) | Zidoo forum

 

I too had no watch history showing but I’ve just set up the weather app and now it’s showing watch history even if I play something for a minute or two great stuff

 

Ah, ok, I definitely missed that bug. Maybe it's the ticket to heaven though I do not like static pics on my OLED...(burn baby burn)
Anyway I'll give you feedback if your hint will have solved my issue.

 

The TV should have a function that allows you to temporarily turn off the screen without turning off the TV completely. This way, excess electricity is not consumed during a pause and the OLEDs do not burn out. I immediately turned off the screensaver on the Zidoo 8K media box, since I am very annoyed by the unsynchronized exit from a pause

 

You can leave screensaver on and only disable it for Video Pause.

 

Bluray Disks

 

Yeah, that doesn't really help.

 

Yes, Mark, it is a nice addition to the settings. But I do not have an OLED, so there is no urgent need for a screensaver. Having a Zidoo Z9X, I downloaded hundreds of pictures of animals and birds, they changed as a screensaver one after another and my child liked it. But this is not a feature that we cannot do without

 

Well, so far and for my usage, no issues whatsoever on my z30. Quite happy.

And now a bit of off topic (oh God, not again)

Dolby Vision 2 Announced: Next-Gen HDR With AI

https://cecritic.com/news/news/dolb...dGRjcAMj-n3LbGNrCaP6PGV6Gu5rZ-VuqLGappuGB1312

 

I use all the fanart from my movies for the screensaver which is quite nice to have on the TV while I'm working so I leave the screen saver on (after 10 minutes) but just have it turned off for Video Pause.

 

It'll be HDR20 next.

What a load of marketing hogwash!!! And I'm being polite because I'm on the forum

 

Steven Wilson - The harmony codex

Acording to Media info:
-TrueHD 48Khz lossless
-DTS XLL aka dts Master Audio
-PCM stereo 96

Video is
ID: 4113 (0x1011),
AVC 1920*1080 24.000 fps

 

So why is that a problem? If it's just a Bluray with a Meridian lossless track it'll just play as any other BluRay surely?

 

Thanks Mark
hadn't noticed that feature in the settings menu before
Have extended the end period out to 5 minutes, that should be enough
Still seems odd that the scrolling behaviour has changed with the recent FW update, but all good

 

The media-info you shared has NO Dolby Vision. It's an HDR10+ content

 

Only marketing bulls**t!!! Only curious about the "Authentic Motion" feature... all the rest is just useless trash!!

 

I wish new update have tv show inside one file because some episodes make confusion so zidoo bring the wrong poster a movie poster second IMAX playback support is nedded .
