For the life of me I can’t figure out why one out of my two shared NFS file folders that holds my movie files becomes “unreachable” when I go to watch a movie. Each is housed on a different synogy NAS, both of which have every possible hybernation setting etc off, so no idea why this happens. Once I go into the settings and re add the folder, the movies appear!

I am looking for the best configuration to get the best of my current gear and so far I am struggling.
I don't have a home cinema amplifier, my setup is primarly used for hi-fi music and only have a stereo analog amplifier (equiped with a built-in dac) for optic and coax input. I only use the analog part, as I connect all my sources (Radio / SACD player / DMP-A8 / Zidoo UHD5000 / UHD blu-ray player) using RCA connectors.

I rarely listen to movies on this amplifier while playing...

Anyone know if it is the same as the Z9X 8k?

The projector has HD resolution and HDMI 1.4 input (no HDR obviously). I play SDR, HDR10 and DV content and would like HDR to be converted to SDR (and down-scaled to 1080P).
For HDR->SDR conversion, I tried to set HDR to Auto but looks like it expands 16-235 to 0-255 for HDR10 content, so it's no go. I now enabled VS10 for all content, but the PQ doesn't look great and looks like lack of saturation, however...

In terms of picture quality is it worth to upgrade from Z10pro to Z9x or 8k? Most interesting for me is DV quality/processing.

I am not using 3d. System speed navigation and playback is sufficient for me. I'm focusing only on picture quality and brightness.

I came here to explain my problem after having tested a lot of things.

Configuration : Z1000PRO with latest official (non G) firmware. Files are accessed by zidoo using SMB protocol (server being a windows computer dedictaed to that only task).

Problem : stuttering appears when a sustained bitrate of 90 100Mbps/s is required. Can be replicated always at the same spots on the same videos, but behave better if i switch off the zidoo for 1 minute and start it fresh. Videos are 4k UHD...
