Hmm.. so there are no dropouts with regular Kodi? and is this at 1080p resolution. I don't think the dropouts have anything to do with the movie. It is the combination of 4K, color space (YCbCr 4:4:4) and deep color mode (10/12 bits) that causes the dropouts.

The dropout is happening with their External Player
Let me see if I can replicate ... I don't have 'Ghostbusters' 2D. Anything else causing dropouts? I have everything at 'Auto' (resolution, color space and deep color).

I have only tried Ghostbusters. @OlivierQC has mentioned that it happens with Independence Day: Resurgence and Star Trek Beyond Star Wars The Force Awakens. I will also check Ghostbusters 3D in 2D mode.

PS: thanks for asking @mirror88 to add me to the beta test group.
If using latest closed beta, 3D ISO's played in 2D mode output at 60 or whatever your ZDMC rez is at (vs. 23.976). I only have 3D versions of Independence Day: Resurgence and Star Trek Beyond.

Will check that. Haven't quite tested the beta version yet. Doing a NAS upgrade: replacing the HDDs with 6TB ones.
About beta firmware,pls post in beta group forum
We are working hard with audio drop issue on external player,A team of more than 10 people, Realtek engineers and ZIDOO engineers working together in the ZIDOO Office just for this issue.
Also solving the audio SYNC issue on zdmc dvdplayer.
BTW:Solved some bluetooth 3.0 mouse can not work issue today.

Also i could have a poster library only for my movies on my WDTV can i do it on the Zidoo ? ive seen the home theatre app but when i scan it gets covers for everything including music etc and most of the film covers are for different films, if it cannot do these simple things then santa will be getting it back
You can program one of the two buttons at the bottom as a 'Stop'...

And, yes, you can have posters for your movies and TV shows using ZDMC (Kodi fork) to scrape them.

Programming the stop button is something I have used, but it would be a lot better if you could program them as chapter skip buttons.
Having the movie pause (when you press the enter button in native player) is annoying, I have never seen a media player behave like this.

So if you turn external player off in ZDMC it doesn't happen?
No need to install kodi then.
