I have a problem with the 'watched movie' mark/flag. In ZDMC 16.1 the mark/flag was set automatically after i watched a movie or episode. In 17.4 i have to do it manually. Does anybody know how i can fix this? I use the Aeon Nox 5 skin.

Yes missing subtitles here too..
Still not reliable zidoo?

Hello Wesk05,

you said : you have to use YCbCr Limited (or RGB Limited) for color space with the LG OLEDs (and all Sony TVs) and they have added is still not properly implemented

i have a Sony TVs and if I understand the HDMI range setting does not work properly, we can leave the option on auto it does not change anything?

thank in advance

About the new X20 (rtd1296), 

Here are some pictures found on the web :

see you

Been away long time.
You have kodi normal build on zidoo
Then you. Have zdmc which uses own zidoo player
And now you have http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/...589/page-3

Can someone explain what so special on last build?

Also i experience missing subtitle lines with latest build. I saw people here experience the same..

@hdmkv i hope you can help?

Your link takes me to a thread about X1. I'm still using the official Kodi 16.x-based ZDMC (it's working well for me), but there are two other versions on their forum:

• Official ZDMC 17.4. May as well wait for version based off 17.5.1 I'd think.
  
• Unofficial, user-compiled ZDMC 18 Leia (Build 9-10-2017). Looks like issues being reported in that thread, so held off trying out.
  

Hello,


we talk about the problems of zidoo concerning deep color etc ..., but for me it's one of the best image (box android) especially compared to my Egreat devices for example.

-------------------

A small comparison with my Egreat A10 / 11.

Here are my impressions about the PQ of zidoo, this is only my personal opinion and i'm not an expert as Wesk05.

-------------------

Some people say that the image of the Egreat is better, They may be right. but for me, my preference goes to the Zidoo.

-------------------

Sharpness
The sharpness is better on the Zidoo ( out of the box ) but using the sharpness of my TV, we get the same thing on the Egreat,

colorimetry
I have a preference for the Zidoo,  i am not able to have the same thing with the Egreat after several tests

-------------------

Why I prefer the PQ of the Zidoo


With the Egreat
- Sometimes there are areas of the image with a kind of greenish-pixelated color with the Egreat (I had the same problem with the himedia Q10 pro)
We do not see it on my pictures, and this happens on certain scenes when there are dark gradations of colors.

- Another problem for me is the gradient banding with the Egreat ( and himedia Q10 pro ).
I do some pictures and videos, you can not see it correctly on the video ( It can be seen from the 25th seconds on the left of the image) of the Egreat, but it is present when we see it with our own eyes.

On the Zidoo

The 2 problems above does not exist on the Zidoo

Overall I find the PQ of the Zidoo better, and you have an excellent PQ at the first start of the box after unpacking.

If you have a TV that reports EDID quantization range (LG OLEDs, Sony TVs, newer Vizio TVs etc.), you are better off using YCbCr Limited mode on Zidoo. If you leave it on auto, the output from Zidoo will be full range which has expanded levels (0-255). There is nothing wrong with that if you have calibrated your display in full range mode.

Thanks for your answer Wesk05 

i have an xbr65X93C, and i use the setting of Becuwe Nicolas Administrator of HDFever forum


i do not know if the x93c can read edid, but I will follow your advice and choose limited

---------------------

he calibrated his sony X93C and I used his settings even if I know that each tv is different

Calman screenshot shows the stimulus levels in percent. So, I can't definitively say whether 16-235 or 0-255 was used for calibration. However, the CIE chart shows RGB triplet 235, 235, 235. This would suggest that the calibration was done with Limited range. He being a professional calibrator, it is 99.9% likely that a limited range was used for calibration.

The intern and extern srt subtitle experience is also better than the previous firmware, but not fixed completely.
The HTML tags are not visible and are completely removed. So no cursive, Italic or bold.
(It looks like Zidoo team has some difficulties to fix these HTML TAGS problem.)
No problem (for me), better no HTML tags than this in the previous firmwares: Text</i> or </b>
But there are stil some characters or letters visible when watching a movie with internal or external srt subtitles. 
Like: Text/ or TextA or Text>

(Those characters or letters are not present in the subtitle srt file.)
This was also in the previous firmwares.
