@zidoo Developers - ETA on New UHD2000 firmware? The Pixar freezing/skipping issue is the most prominent from my perspective
I don't in general recommend this FW at all but FW 2.3.17 solved this during my tests. So there is light at the horizon for this problem. You may give it a try and comment. Backed out later to FW 2.3.10 myself.
I tried that firmware on a Z9S the other day, but it freezes in the same places on Monsters Inc 4k UHD ISO or MKV bit perfect rip from either Anydvd, DVDFab, or MakeMKV. Not going to put that on my UHD2000 just yet Thanks
I tried the Toy Story movies and these played smooth as silk. MKV's should never have seamless branching problems, so you are looking at another problem. It is known recent FW's have playback problems with UHD and MKV.
To be clear, as I wrote quickly, the mkv doest freeze, but I do see stutters at the same points... I've seen this in past Zidoo firmwares (Coco was one I can recall)
In fact I do suspect the program used to create those MKV 's does a bad job then by not handling seamless branching stitching correctly.
