ZIDOO 8K Media player coming soon.

If you want to use custom icons for the widgets in the new UI you'll have to change or create new ones that are 600 x 360 pixels.

Unlike the old widgets, there is no focus icon behind so fully transparent PNGs can now be used.

 

My last Media player was a Z1000 pro and I recently change to the R-Volution 8K due to the AML processor , I am really liking the animated \trailer backgrounds on the movie synopsis but hate the fact you have to go into the search function to look a Actors bio's
Now Zidoo have decided to change to the AML processor I have purchased Z9X 8K (waiting on shipping ) I know way back that Zidoo did animated backgrounds is this still a thing? and anything like the R-Volution?? just like the way Zidoo implement the list of actors in the movie synopsis.

 

No, Zidoo have never done animated backgrounds.

 

Sorry but that is half wrong.
Aptv convert dolby true hd atmos or dts from movies in pcm yes in infuse or emby plex etc.
But when it comes to apple music, apple tv netflix or any streaming app dolby atmos is in bitstream

 

Bloody Apple.

No issue and I have no compaints - exactly as I said above, it's a hobbyist device - not something I'd put in my cinema for serious use.

 

No . But soon.

Sorry, we sent you the wrong tracking Number. This was from your order in June 2023.

The new products will arrive in around 1 Week.
You will get a device from the first Batch

 

Absolutely no! I suggest you check better and you will find out it is all converted to PCM. The only "real" bitstream the ATV does is if you leave to Dolby Digital, but then, you won't have any Atmos, nor DD+. Once you enable PCM/Dolby Atmos support, then it converts (you'll always see it as Dolby Atmos, but it's a Dolby MAT, so it's converted to PCM and then re-incapsulated with object meta-data).

It you don't trust me, I suggest you read several posts on the Apple discussion threads. Here a couple of examples:

Week and a half, two weeks and the early birds will get their mits on them...

I'm looking forward to it very much.

 

I'm wondering if this new uhd 8000 can decode DTS-HD,Dolby TrueHD to PCM 5.1 or only pass-through.like the uhd 5000 that I own
thanks for the replys

 

Isn't the USP of the R volution the ( Dune OS ) plugin part that is included in the listprice?

 

Am I right in thinking that the Chinese even include the V12 Bluetooth Remote with the Z9X 8K?

 

Perhaps I think I should have said animated fan art ??

 

No, never done animated fan art either.

 

Yes it's called R-video which is free if you purchase the R-volution player but they have created a version that can be installed on other players for a monthly/ annual cost and some say it has a lot in common with the dune

 

All Zidoo models do passthrough for DD and DTS MCH variants never conversion to PCM MCH. Asked many times before.

Decoding needs licenses for these. The same reason most TV's won't decode DTS. Only disc players with 8 channel analog outputs included typically do decoding. I know only a few exceptions to this.

 

Woohoo!


UPDATE 29-JUL NEW ORDERS ARE FOR FOR BATCH#2 WITH AN ESTIMATED DESPATCH DATE OF 13-AUG.

Excellent!

 

Will the 8K media players be upgraded to ATV12 (Android 12 for TV) like Dune is doing https://dune-hd.com/firmware/atv12.html
https://developer.android.com/tv/release/12

Or even surprise us with ATV14 (Android 14 for TV)
https://developer.android.com/tv/release/14

 

And where does it say on the Dune that 8K models get an Android TV12? It is only about streaming Mediaplayer Homatics and Premier

 

You're confusing Android with Android TV. Dune has released a first Android TV 12 FW only for their Netflix-certified Streaming Media Player (like the Homatics Box and Premier) and NOT for the Android ones (like the Solo 8K or the Pro One 8K...and "similar" to the new Zidoos 8K).
