As a long-time Zidoo owner with a movie catalog of about 2,000 titles, I decided to write a Windows app that interfaces directly with the Zidoo via API to help me manage my files and Zidoo data. The Zidoo is awesome but there are issues that I wanted to address with this new Z-Keeper.exe application. It turned out to be a substantial application - fun to use, fast, and it has found and helped me fix quite a few problems in my library that I wasn't even aware I...

I’m working on a home cinema display app and wanted to ask Zidoo users for some feedback.

The idea is to use a separate screen outside the cinema room, near the entrance, as a proper “Now Showing” / movie poster display.

The system is already mostly working, and I’m now polishing the last details.

For Zidoo, the idea is to detect what is currently playing and show the movie poster, title, artwork and progress on the separate screen. When nothing is playing, the screen can...

It would be best if streaming was supported natively by using a http:// reference in

For example:...

I already have a DMP-A8 and a T8, and now waiting patiently for a T10, can you add the ability to group multiple devices so they will play the same playlist or tracks in sync with each other for whole house music?

Thanks in advance for getting this done.

Also, this could exponentially increase your market share.

I recently installed the app on my Android TV and love that I can display the current playing track and album art on my big screen.

I would like to request the ability to swap the displayed album art with the track information periodically as a screen-saver.

This could be beneficial when playing albums that display the same artwork throughout playback to prevent burn-in on OLED screens etc.

Thank you.

I'm looking to install the CoreElec OS on the Z30, but I stuck on the device tree file. I can't seem to find it anywhere and without it CoreElec will not know how to run on the Z30's hardware. It would look something like:

s5_s928x_Name_XXX

I'm hoping someone has it or could point me in the right direction.

That said, I'd like to comment on what I think could be an improvement to Home Theater.

Currently, Home Theater's settings allow two options:

- Play the soundtrack
- Play the trailer of the movie

But not both.

I have 1 feature request. There are so many Now Playing screens with Album Art available on Eversolo but most of them are very busy with a lot of tiny text and tinybuttons.

Would it be possible to have a Now Playing screen option with just
1. Full square album art on side (no Spotify/Tidal logo on top) from top to bottom but in square shape
2. LARGE Song title and below it Artist name

That's all I want, since I view the Play streamer from 6-7 feet away and all the little...

When using Zidoo, you’ll often come across an actor you enjoy or recognise. You know you’ve seen them in other movies, but you can’t quite remember which ones. Naturally, you want to explore more of their work—but doing so means leaving Zidoo and searching elsewhere.

So what do you do?

What if you could view an actor’s full movie list directly from Zidoo, not only the titles already in your library, but also the movies they’ve appeared in that you...

This is great and quite a neat feature. However, it'd be even more useful if we could have a menu option to change the person's photo by picking one from the existing gallery, similar to how we can choose a poster and backdrop for a movie. Particularly in cases where a person doesn't have any photos on TMDB...
