OK.Maybe you could give me some advice Smile Thank you very much

So this is just for auto switching of HALF 3D files as detecting Full 3D uses more sophisticated methods (not filename)?

eg it contains "3D" and "HSBS" or "HOU" or "HTAB" or "H.SBS" or "H.OU" or "H.TAB"

If switch default display frame rate different from 60Hz, 30/60 switch frame rate dont work.

I think that Zidoo should research how to detect properly 3D files and their types (side by side, top/bottom...) without using filename tags. The video information app bundled in X9S is awesome, a la MediaInfo style, with a wealth of detail. So there must be a way to inspect file structure to apply the correct vision mode.

Just my 2 cents.

When viewing the .m2ts files (Blu-ray) with native player, the size of the image horizontally smaller than the screen, see small vertical black bars on the left and right of the image. BDRIP .mkv shows in full screen. XDMC shows .m2ts files (Blu-ray) in full screen.

@mirror88, is it possible to add rewind, skip back, fast forward, and skip forward functions to the customizable red and green remote buttons? This is for ZDMC and internal player and native/external player. We could then teach our Harmony remotes those functions instead of having to use the OSD controls.

I have an Ortek USB IR, and that with the harmony is working great for this box. Still a little depressed that 3D MVC MKVs don't play right at all.

Do you really need an external IR receiver to use a Harmony remote? Zidoo X9 is in the Harmony database. Does that one not work? I would hate to not have a Harmony remote be able to power on the unit. One of my main issues with using a PC is that you cannot power on from the remote.

Good news,today solved the MVC MKV microstutters

In fact, The red and green remote buttons they are always the same key values.We just give it a different function.There are too much functions for the two buttons.Sad

there is a key file with map key like this?

Code:
.....      
        <key value="0x2fd0ff00" name="KEY_STOP"       />      <!-- -->
.....

to read Remote matrix:
2fd0 --> key code of address from matrix
ff00 --> supplier

Just curious, what was the cause, and what fix worked?

Re: the remote and rewind/forward & skip back/forward, what I meant is add to list of functions you already have that are assignable to the red & green buttons. I've been assigning several commands that way (two at a time), then teaching those to my Harmony remote. Or, as @looun suggested, if you publish a key map, he may be able to create a tool as he did for HiMedia.

I have it set up as a Zidoo X9 for the Harmony, but all of the commands you want to use when watching something don't exist (like play, stop, fast forward, rewind, etc).


RE: Zidoo X9S (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - hdmkv - 2016-10-14

'Stop' you can assign to the red or green button, then teach your Harmony that. 'Play/pause' does work for me using original X9 commands in Harmony's database.
