v1.3.05, v1.3.05_G Beta version for Z9X 8K/Z30 PRO/Z3000 PRO/UHD8000

Perhaps it has something to do with CEC? Could you try unplugging the HDMI cable and then switching it off?

Otherwise, perhaps try a factory reset again? The Zidoo AML series strikes me as a bit of a lottery. You never know what you’ll get when you roll the dice. It’s different for everyone.

The final step is to make a warranty claim with the retailer. The media player might actually have a technical fault.

 

I tested foobar 2000 on the device. Afterwards this mess welcomes me.

Had short blackouts again.
The z3000 outputted 29.97 hertz on a 23.29hz movie.
Not sure if a none video app let the z3000 run random framerates. But it ignores all its own settings.

 

I don’t use this app, but so far I’ve only ever used Ohne_G firmware on all my Zidoo players and haven’t had any problems. I’ve downloaded and installed everything I need as APKs.
I think the difference is that with _G, Google Play Store services still run in the background, and I don’t really need those.

I’ll install the app after work and see if it works properly.

 

Thanks in advance!

Which device do you have? Zidoo z9x 8k?

 

All my devices are listed in my signature; I’ll test the app on the Z3000Pro, which is identical in construction to your Z9X apart from a few minor details.

I’d also recommend adding your setup details to your signature; that way, it’ll be easier for other users to give you advice tailored to your hardware

 

Hello everyone!
I've noticed an annoying issue. I don't turn off the set-top box, and after 2-3 days, it starts to lag, videos start without a picture, and small stripes appear on the main screen when navigating between menu items (as if the chip is failing). Restarting the set-top box solves the problem completely, but only for 2-3 days. Is this a firmware issue or a hardware issue? Is there a way to set the set-top box to perform a full wipe once a day or reboot, perhaps at night?

 

I downloaded and installed the app and can switch between right and left, and up and down, using the remote control.

So this has nothing to do with the _G firmware.

 

I really don't understand why it's almost impossible to navigate. I will try to make a video showing the issue.

But are you sure me having a Zidoo z9x 8k instead doesn't make any difference?

 

It worked fine with version 1.40 or 1.42 (the problem I had was due to the V12 remote control)
- Reset the CEC: already done
- Disable the CEC: already done
I'm currently performing another reset; let's see how it goes.

 

@Markswift2003 - any recent thoughts or feedback from the Devs?

 

Oh yes .......

 

OK guys, you heard it here , Mark is once again making a personal pledge that you all will be made whole....

 

As always

Here you go. Nothing seems to happen when pressing up or down.

 

Try switching the remote to mouse mode and see if that gets you anywhere. If it does, you may want to consider hooking up a wireless mouse or mouse/keyboard combo. Something like the Logitech K400.

After the reset, it reboots every time I start it up, but it now, shuts down is ok... Is this machine possessed by the devil???
After investigating, it reboots when I have one or both HDDs connected (it always reboots with both connected); the 2.5-inch HDDs probably didn’t appreciate all these tests....
I concluded that my power supply might be the cause (it’s a 2A power supply I bought for my Z9X 4K).
So I put the original one from the Z9X 8K back in and will see how it goes....If it really is my power supply that’s the problem, I’ll take full responsibility for the criticism I’ve leveled at Zidoo. (Regarding the reboots, not the rest....lol)


At home, if I set the resolution to “Auto” and play a video at 23.976 Hz, my Zidoo displays it at 60 Hz.
.

 

Yes.

I wasn’t in the Menu; I was in the right-hand section with videos and channels, and I could move everything around. Does that work for you?

 

Even when CEC is disabled, devices continue to communicate via pin 13 of the HDMI port. That is why the idea was to unplug the HDMI cable and then test the shutdown/power-off process to rule this out.

According to the specs the Z9X 8K also has a 2A power supply; I don’t think there’s any point in changing it.
But if you've connected two HDDs without their own power supply, that could well be the problem.

There’s a setting for what should happen after a power cut. What have you set it to – restart or standby? Perhaps that has something to do with it?

 

This actually worked. A cursor showed up and I can select whatever I want, thanks!

@Bill-Z9X when not in mouse mode I do not see what is currently selected, so it's very hard/impossible to navigate property. You don't have this issue? I find this strange. Maybe I downloaded the wrong AKP? Maybe the one for Android phones instead of Android TV, would that be possible?
