Z1000 Review

So I've been playing with the new z1000 for the past 2 days. I don't use the music section or any other features for now.
I will try 4:4:4 , 10 bit and HDR modes shortly as I need "better" hdmi cable due to the length ~33ft.
Using latest firmware.

Positive:

- OS is quick and simple
- Video quality is excellent across the board. Some small glitches here and there but it could be the files.
- Audio quality is on par with other players
- Boots up quickly
- Decodes Atmos, DTS-X soundtracks fine.
- It detected everything on my network on the first attempt and drive mapping worked perfect

Negative:

- No KODI support
- Green light on the LAN port does not turn on.. (defect) ?
- Poster wall is limited in views. List + poster would be a good option instead of just poster or File Manager Mode. With over 100 titles, posters become a pain to cycle through.
-No filter option in File Manager. ex.. can't filter out images or nfo from the view.

Will update in a few days with new findings

Cheers!

 

Z1000 not a KODI player. pls playing local video file via Native player.

 

Hi, here is 2 video samples. Even if I use the built in player it shutters frequently..

Downloaded these, but play just fine using the native Zidoo Video player. No stuttering at all (Z9S with SATA attached HDD).

 

hello,

The videos are not smooth at times (example with the aerial view of the cathedral), but the problem is also present with the ATV4K and infuse pro.

I do not think the problem comes from the zidoo.

see you

 

Watching them on my A10 or PC does not show this behavior. I'll take a video from the animals clip today and post it so you can see.
