HD audio passthrough works too. I'm a first time Kodi user (coming from a WD TV Live) and it is fun to work with.

There are, however, some issues I have come across in my setup (X6 Pro > Onkyo TX-SR507 > Sony KDL50W829, all connected via HDMI):
- Different audio delays with different video files (ranging from +200ms to + 550ms). Haven't read about this before...?
- Lack of discrete buttons in Kodi (pause, stop, subs, audio, FF, FR, etc.). I'm using the X9 profile in my Logitech Harmony. Couldn't find the X6 yet?
- Two-step power down is not something I want in combination with my Harmony remote switching between activities. Off should be off IMO.
- Succesfully tried the android app XBMC Launcher, but couldn't get into Android after reboot with this app. Had to assign the pre-installed app manager to one of the programmable buttons on the Zidoo remote and with that uninstall the XBMC Launcher app. It then booted normally again. Is there a better/smarter way to get Kodi after boot but still be able to switch to android interface after that?

Maybe someone can give me some advice on these issues? Thanks in advance!

We had updated our kodi to 15.2 and release the source code to github.

Every one could get the code from here:

Hi

Don't you need a new ffmpeg patch also for Kodi or does it work without it?
The old ffmpeg patch doesn't work on the new 2.8.0-Jarvis-alpha3-HEVC ffmpeg.
You have to revert this commit and change back to the old 2.6.4-Isengard ffmpeg to compile correctly.

Install the latest firmware and i don't see any progress.

Still No Audio ( unless you switch the Audio selection in Kodi OSD)
3D playback starts in the middle of the movie
3D playback has green pixelation and microblocks

1.0.22 had better 3D Depth and now with 1.0.23 not so much.
Original firmware of the device 1.0.15 and now we at the 1.0.23,almost 8 revision and still at the same point.

(2015-10-22, 15:48)wrxtasy Wrote: [ -> ]Yes unfortunately the gullible newbies get caught unawares and suckered in with false promises and flashy advertising.

With that in mind I'm actually pretty concerned that a Zidoo developer or Company representative (I think I have that correct) has started this thread with bold claims made in the very thread title that we know are not true. The device is still in the Alpha testing Firmware phase for god sake, and Zidoo are actually using the Kodi logo for their advertising.

I really think this thread should be closed down and someone totally independant like hdmv start a new one with a list of features working and not working, that is updated on the first page ?

We have all seen how pear shaped and angry the VidOn thread ended up getting. I'm only asking this in the interests of Kodi end users and potential purchasers ?

I think this should be a clear reminder to all, avoid these rubbish cheap android boxes with no support.

I would go as far and say zidoo should be blacklisted or banned from here for such outrageous false advertising.

Not completely fixed but some stuff are working.
3D Framepacking is working
Audio is out of sync(unless you do the Audio Stream change)

And now they are working on new Hardware S905 Amologic Device.
