ZDMC for Zidoo

Help Needed to enhance the movie borwser in ZDMC 21 for persons with impaired vision

invalid@example.com (DVD Collector) — Thu, 07 May 2026 15:01:39 +0000

I need help to create an add-on or new skin for ZDMC 21.0 to chance the movie browser from icon based to list based with large fonts. Is anyone interested in helping me with this task for appropriate compensation ($$)? I am new to Kodi and know nothing about its internals nor Python programming. I am running it on a Z9X 8K and am very happy with its performance other than the visuals in the movie browser and a few other UI items.

ZDMC V21.0 Kodi Backup Add-On Problem

invalid@example.com (DVD Collector) — Fri, 01 May 2026 15:29:03 +0000

ZDMC V21.0 is working fine on my Z9X 8K device and I am able to read, write and delete files and folders on attached USB HDD and memory stick devices. However when I run the Kodi Backup add-on V1.7.3 and attempt to define an output folder for the backup file it consistently declares an error with the message "Make sure the selected folder is writable and that the new folder name is valid". I have tried several devices and folder names to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

Kodi 21.2 / Z9X Pro - Working external player config

invalid@example.com (cjur) — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 21:14:49 +0000

This works. Longpress and use the "Play using..." context menu action or setup rules in the following config:

playercorefactory.xml:

Code:


  
    
      com.android.gallery3d
      -a com.android.gallery3d.app.MovieActivity
      -d "{1}"
      --activity-clear-task
      --activity-clear-top...

Now you can use zidoo internal player

First install player switch addon

Then open addon and select local custom playercorefactory from files

just delete .txt at the end of file before select

Creating this thread to hopefully show the devs that the community is interested in an updated release of ZDMC based on Kodi 21.0 "Omega".

Omega has some cool new features, including video versions (Theatrical Cut, Director's Cut, etc.), that I'm sure ZDMC users would want to take advantage of.

ZDMC 20.X

invalid@example.com (Reelyator) — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 15:53:29 +0000

Please do not ask me why this has neven been communicated by Zidoo (...at least not to my knowledge here in the english speaking part of this forum), there seem to be some newer versions of ZDMC than the ZDMC 19.4 refferd to in the Support / Driver and Software Download Section of zidoo.tv.

If you take the download link (for ZDMC 19.4):
apidl.zidoo.tv/app/zdmc-19.4_rtk.apk

provided on:
https://www.zidoo.tv/Support/release_apk.html

....and replace the "19.4" with a "20.2" there...

Audio delay option missing...(??)

invalid@example.com (tom.58) — Sat, 04 Jan 2025 17:06:31 +0000

Hi there,

I think I remember that also in ZDMC there was an option to set an audio delay in the settings of the player. Cannot find it anymore...

Was there a change in the settings ?

Where can I find it now ?? It' very important 'cause some systems produce a delay....

Thanks in advance

VC-1 and MPEG2 Files aren't playing correctly

invalid@example.com (x0sxai) — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 07:31:31 +0000

Hello all,
I'm trying to play some files in zdmc that are vc-1 and mpeg2 but the video plays faster than the audio and buffers. In home theater 4.0 it doesn't happen and plays fine. Does anyone know of a way to fix this with kodi itself? I have zidoo z9x and I know it's capable of playing these but when played in kodi without external player it doesn't play well.

I'm also on zdmc 18.9 because there's an add-on only available on that version I use. If anyone knows of any tips of fixes to...

Hi all,

i'm running ZDMC 20.2 on the Z9X Pro. v1.0.75_G

Videos are located on my Windows 11 PC / SMB and ZDMC can access them.

If i press "Play" on a video detail view, ZDMC does not disappear. The audio is playing but there is no video playing. Do i have to press a special button on the remote?

If i change settings "Player" - "Videos" - "Play video with external player" to "On", nothing happens. No audio, no video. Just a small black text window appears "playing video" or...

Replace splash.png in ZDMC 19.4

invalid@example.com (Reelyator) — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 13:25:22 +0000

The Original splash screen of ZDMC looks pretty boring......not to mention the incorrect spelling;-)

Therefore i was looking for the splash.png to replace it with a custom picture but could not find it in the media folder of the ZDMC installation on my Zidoo UHD3000.

Has anybody here found the location of the splash.png?
