The two on the top are the height channels. He has a 5.1.2 system. From the looks I think he has this system

5.1.2, the two heights are in-ceiling speakers...

@OlivierQC can you clarify your setup?

Remove the parenthesis from the folder and file name and see whether it plays. I know that it doesn't like "%".

@wesk05 ... i am lost ..... 24-bit output multichannel PCM Huh

HDMI Analyzer - Channel Status Bits. It will show what the max word length of the signal and the sample word length. This is how the sink determines the bit depth.

Analyzing Channel Status Bits See byte 5 0-3 bits

Hi all,

Thank you for your feedback,

It is a 5.1.2 system with front heights and not ceiling speakers, My wife did not want anything on the ceiling.

Image

Performance is not as good as with ceiling speakers but with the BDMV dolby atmos 2014 and others Dolby Atmos Demo as well, the front heights become quite impressive. We can actually ear the birds fly over our heads and go around the room, the receiver Onkyo 656 did a good job.

@hdmkv
skins, your weird font/text issue should be resolved by choosing 'Default' for font instead of 'Arial' in ZDMC settings.

thanks Smile

Got my Zidoo X9s today and followed the setting suggestions of this post.
Sound works perfect and the PQ is awesome (on my tv feels better than the himedia q10pro)

BUT the entire screen goes black like every 60seconds or so, then comes back on after 1-3 seconds

anyone else had this problem and might know whats wrong ?
Put deep colour to off and it should solve your problems.

Sent from my SM-G925F (typie typie)

I have firmware 1.2.6.

When using artwork download gives an error for failure to record in the USB.

Same type of error using solid Explorer.

Can anyone help with this?

The internal browser allows me to write content to USB, but Solid Explorer or Kodi can not (do not have permissions).

I need root??

No one else with this problem?

Hi mirror 88,

This did not work for me.

ZDMC and Solid Explorer have storage permissions, but neither can write to USB HDDs.

It seems they only have read permissions. No write permissions.

¿Another solution?

I have a Panasonic VT50 plasma that cost thousands of pounds and the wireless doesn't work with a USB3 hard drive connected, so it isn't just cheap Chinese boxes.

Panasonic plasmas had huge flaws (remember the Buzzing) but that dont stop them to built the best TV and create a tremendous reputation.

The Tegra X1 and the Shield wasn't created in couple weeks like the chinese manufacturer do, building a aluminium box around the latest Chipset available...have a look at the Nvidia shield teardown from mlab and have a look at x9s teardown its obvious who´s doing the planning and the development of the product.

If you have a Micro stuttering in Zidoo device X9S its up to the manufacturer open a ticket and request to the chip manufacturer to fix it (in this case its realtek) and most of the time the problem is Fix with other SDK, and Zidoo must start coding again most of the features already implemented, and this process can take months & months of wait.


In the SATV case the bugs process can be faster because they are the chip manufacturer.

Quote:The Tegra X1 processor is built with AI, machine learning and robotics in mind. With excellent GPU performance and low power specs, in can be used in mobile systems for robotics, car systems and drones as well. Tesla is using the Tegra CPU's in their cars from the very beginning, and it's one of the key factors to develop self driving or autonomous vehicles. The X1 is also able to process signals from up to four cameras and a lot other sensors too. see the X1 white paper

In my opinion for 200$ the SATV is the bargain media player of the decade..

....that can't do 4K 10bit at 24hz, yeah brilliant, mine is currently on eBay if you want to buy it.


RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - hausmanis - 2016-11-08

What settings are you using with a 4k 10bit HDR tvset ?
Apparantly i cant use Deep color cause then i loose picture like once every 60secs.

You cant use 4K together with 10bit HDR ??


RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - DaMacFunkin - 2016-11-08

You can ignore the guy who said it
I'm using 3840x2160@60hz, 24hz set to on, bit rate set to auto and colour space set to 4:2:2, works fine, except for the a/v synch probes with Atmos/TrueHD
