ZIDOO Z9X

might be worth checking the clock on the zidoo. i had some networking issue w my sony tv which was fixed by setting the clock correctly (sync to network time).

 

Thanks for the tip, the Zidoo has been synched to network time since the beginning. I checked to make sure. It would of been nice if that was the problem though.

 

@SolarGlider: Why does it say "Netwerk 100Mb..." in the upper right of your picture?

 

I've seen that this measurement is adaptive since it shows how much data is being transmitted. When I don't stream to the Zidoo for like 5 min it can show as low as 10 KB. But since the stream is around 100M it doesn't go higher than that. I've done some more measurements with my smartphone on the same wireless access point where the Zidoo is connected. Since I exchanged the WiFi router for an Ethernet-only version it is accurate. It showed speeds of nearly 200M. As I said, I tested the Dune on the same network cable that the Zidoo uses and it streams UHD high bitrate content without a hitch.

 

Not being very familiar with Windows 10, it looked to me as a "status" value (so maybe something could be wrong with your gigabit network).

Thanks for clarification.

 

Got me curious about network transfer, did some tests, sharing the results for reference.

Network setup: Zidoo Z9X === GB switch === HomeGW with GB switch === PC (Win10)
Test setup: 2x 1GB MKV files on PC RAM disk, transfer to/from Zidoo Samba share.

Results:
a. PC RAM disk (read) copy to Zidoo (write): 50MB/s average (varies between 40MB/s to 65MB/s)
b. Zidoo (read) copy to PC RAM disk (write): 75MB/s average (varies between 70MB/s to 105MB/s)
c. Zidoo (read) copy to PC SSD disk (write): 75MB/s average (varies between 70MB/s to 105MB/s)

Looks like transfer out of the Zidoo box can get close to the network Gigabit bandwidth limit (105MB/s peak), however transfer into the Zidoo box is much slower. Maybe the Zidoo storage write throughput is lower compared to read throughput? Kind of similar to flash drives where read throughput is way faster than write throughput.

Just thought I'd share my test observations...

 

what if you do a speedtest.net in the zidoo browser, or download the speedtest app? Since i have a few zidoo's here, including the latest z9, and zero speed issues on the LAN part.

 

Just saying I've just edited my post on page 70 of this thread to say that my files were on a 4-disc HDD RAID setup within my PC not on an SSD as previously mentioned - my bad. Could explain the slower speed I was getting.

 

interesting, still having issues with a network Samba source versus a network NFS source. Playing a 2160 UHD mkv over Samba gives stutters, same file from same source over NFS, no problem. Source is a ( fast ) synology, latest version.

 

hello,
please help me
I recently bought a zidoo z9x and I have problems with this media player.
1)after I turn off the media player on the remote control stops but after 5 10 seconds the player automatically turn on.then it stays off if I stop the back button.
2)when i watch a 4k hdr movie imagine decreases freez imagine.
3)when i turn on the media player often freezes the screen with the zidoo image and i have to reset it
Best reguards

 

1) make sure you have the latest firmware then turn off cec.
2 & 3) try a different cable, if still the same read Mark swift settings guide, you may have some incompatibilities with the current output of the audio and your TV.

 

Merry Christmas everyone! Heres to a Covid free New Year1

 

Is there any way (or plans) to make the names of audio tracks visible?

 

What is the possibility of the box starting and going straight to HT 4.0?
Any definition that allows?

 

I can get my Z9X to auto launch ZDMC after boot up by using the app auto-start feature. I suppose you can try the same for HT4.

 

Auto Launch function has been there for years ......
press and hold H.T.4 icon and select auto launch on start up .

 

I´m a noob.
Tks a lot

 

Hi, i've tried to do this but didn't figure out how, when I old the HT Icon on the mais screen it will opena a pop up with various apps, and the HT as a check simbol on it, but when I turn the Z9X on I always get the main menu and not the HT app, what am I doing wrong?

 

Go in to the main app screen and locate it there then do the process etc .

 

In home, open APPS and go to Home Theater 4.0 icon, long-press OK button on the remote. Select Launch on startup and press OK on the remote.
