Very bad server as downloads aborted a lot. Check if it is really complete and do that MD5 check next. After some 20 or more attempts it downloaded finally for me and next installed as it should. There are incompatibilities in setup it seems. - Got LPCM 2 channel Audio output with HDMI on RAW Changed to AUTO then it worked, back to RAW and that worked again as it should too - Settings for "Android Setup" remained totally EMPTY After a reboot these were back again to normal. - Setting for Auto-Frame Rate needed to be cycled too, to get it working. It is mandatory to re-install GappsInstaller-rtk-7.1_v1.2.4.apk http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?thr...bsolutely-mandatory-to-be-re-installed.50600/ That re-install may in fact not always go smooth. Needed manual power cycling it myself as it remained stuck. Somebody even reported bigger problems with it. Not doing so you will run into several problems including some instabilities: - Eject is not available anymore. Simply does not pop-up anymore going left. In fact it may come after a very long time. - MCH ISO-SACD still produces very distorted sound also for the 2CH track. - Etc...... Despite I warned for this myself, I once again forgot to do so myself. Multiple problems reported here are actually caused by not re-installing it as required. This above all with the Music Player 5.0 APP. System: - USB3 problem may have been solved. Experiences reported on German forum are positive. Subtitles download - Hey I am really getting all the languages tagged Really love this: Dutch Subtitles on demand! Music Player (In urgent need to get some Setup choices after last updates) - Several improvements confirmed. With still a way to go but clearly moving. The sound quality is OK. - The integrated Folder browsing feature now is functional for me. No need to go to Media Center anymore. - Sound for DTS-CD's and other HD formats may disappear for unknown conditions. A boot will bring it back again. - An Audio CD inserted on an attached CD-ROM will be found and played according (=DAE). Did not try a CD with CD-Text yet. Nice, I might even be tempted to connect a CD-ROM drive to my player. Understood Zidoo wrong apparently as DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) works also on my Z9S using this FW. Probably real ripping (=converting to WAV/PCM) is included for X20 Pro and UHD2000 as an unique feature? Local Player - I am still getting the wrong file name displayed playing a folder with DVD's. Very confusing. Maybe other formats too? - The new Zoom Feature: Aspect Ratio ==> Zoom ==> 2.35 Cropping or 2.35 Stretching. This for those guys and dolls wanting to get rid of black bars. Curious detail in fact the 2 choices are swapped (Cropping setting does stretching and the Stretching setting does cropping) I personally would have them added directly as 2 extra choices under Aspect Ratio. ZOOM suggests amplifying a picture with the option to select the area (panning) being amplified. Nevertheless it is a nice feature working as advertised and appreciated by many. Personally don't like deforming the picture (stretching) or cutting parts (cropping) of the original image and take those black bars for granted. Mobile APP (need to update mobile app v.1.5.3) That update indeed needs to be done (did it manually) https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/release_apk.html As more often the Zidoo release information is incorrect and still indicates an old version, but isn't. Zidoo Controller (Music Player) can now be used well to control Music Player 5.0 with the TV turned off and without the need of switching to other APP's. Bottomline it is a very good update and recommended for installation by me. The best FW thus far for sure.
ZIDOO_Z9S beta v2.3.3 http://apidl.zidoo.tv/Z9S/v2.3.3/ZIDOO_Z9S_N_v2.3.3_201912132125_ota-package.zip md5: 2E5BE84FB560E9AAC3B3AB64ACB8F62E
No mention of major issues like seamless branching problems. I suspect they have given up on that as they seem unable to fix.
It is actually promised to be included into the next update! USB3 may have been solved (using SATA myself)?
VFD display not working for me, "HELLO" change to "HELLU" inside of showing clock. A strange workaround is to edit build.prop ro.build.fingerprint to like is on v.2.2.96 then VFD display working again, too lazy to search what they rely change it.
Strange mine just says Hello at boot and next the correct time. I think this was reported before and related to installing Google Play or not? Maybe a factory reset or clean install? Saw a couple of movies and did some listening to music. Overall a positive experience definitely an improved FW again. Did not come across a Kino Lorber movie to see if handling those ISO's is solved? The Volume Label length problem in Movie Center is still there for sure.
Nope. Could be a matter of days, weeks, months? But my guess is not that long seen they started mentioning it specifically. It's more than 2 years ago when I first started asking for it. So it does not really matter. By the way we need Seamless Branching also for Music Player. We normally refer to it then as Gapless Playback but technically seen the same programming/buffering challenge: Jumping from file to file unnoticed!
Some things just appear to me to work better when installed. Don't ask me the why. My (increasing) experiences will be added to my first post above.
After updating to this firmware, I can no longer scroll to the top of my folders where it says "all". You use to could go there and be able to sort the folder by video, music or image files. Is anyone else having this issue. I checked my X9S and I am still able to do it there.
@vman Media Center 3.5.4 confirm top section All/Video/Music/Picture/APK disappeared(removed?). Workaround replace zidoo_file.apk via adb shell with Media Center 3.4.8.
I am getting an error message that the file is corrupt when I try to install it. Can you check the file and reup. Thanks for your help!
vman Can't install old version as normal user application. Need be replace zidoo_file.apk via adb shell or if box is rooted can copy/paste with any root file explorer.
