Yesterday it happened 2 times while watching a 40 minutes episode.

I stream the series using a synologie nas which I have a couple of questions years now without problems.

I reported a similar issue here. I also uploaded a sample video in that post. Is your problem with ZDMC or only with zidoo player?

One more bug - the display setting is set bacl to 720p after shuted down the device - sometimes also while just being switched on...

Did you mux the Atmos audio from the blu ray yourself? both the HDR version and the normal 4K version of this on usenet only have DTS-HD? I only ask because if you are submitting it as a bug they need the correct information.
The simple fix for this, and it has been posted many times is to change output to 4:2:2 instead of Auto or 4:4:4.
I have to agree mine has started up in 720p a few times since 1.27, i think they tried to fix a bug in 1.26 where the box would not sync with the TV on start up and leaving people having to reset.

I have owned a popcorn hour A210 for years been a great product, despite the firmware not been updated in over a year because it's discontinued.Even movies with atmos plays back except a few and obviously does not do 3D. I have a oppo 93 with an external hard drive for the 3D movies and gives me full blu ray menus just like the popcorn hour.

So i thought i would treat myself and buy the best unit currently available according to the online reviews.
Well after days of hassle i'm ready to send back, i have posted on the zidoo forums but no solutions at the moment.
Current firmware installed 1.2.7.

1. within kodi i can sort of playback movies not using the external player, but when i use the explorer and set up a network share smb: e.t.c i can navigate the folders but then it will loose connection i have to reboot the player, which will happen again, an unknown error occurs.

2. within kodi i set use the external player, i get a pop up External player active click ok when playback has ended, i see small controls on a bar pause,stop etc. When i click ok nothing happens.

I have reset the box cleared apps tried everything with no solutions.

My equipment is a panasonic vt55 and a denon x2200 and a synology NAS.
not 4K which considering the problems i am having just as well.

Sorry if the above is in the wrong section please move if necessary but i am very frustrated.

Do you use the Ethernet or the wifi?
Do you mounted the antennas?
Do you use ZDMC setting to external player or use kodi + wrapper?
Could you make a log file to us?
We will check this issue,Thanks.

One had TrueHD, the other DTS-HD. I was streaming from a WD My Cloud using Samba and also from Windows Shares (also Samba) on my PC. Both occurred using Media Center (f/w 1.2.7).

Also, can someone tell me about the leds in the network? My Mede8er's leds are left (as you see from behind) Green and right is amber (flashing). In Zidoo, I see left (orange) and from a brief search, amber indicates 100mbps. Can anyone from Zidoo let is know what network leds in x9s mean?
