Hi,
First of all the X9s works great! You guys do a great job.

I have some suggestions/improvements for the menu in the native player:

- In the result screen of the" subtitle download" page it would be great if there was a column with the language from the found subtitle files. Also if i have selected a preferred subtitle language I would like to see the search result where my preferred language is at the top of the list.

- For subtitles it would be nice if I could choose a different font.

- Also for the download service would it be possible if I could choose a different subtitle search engine? For instance opensubtitles.org has an API (https://trac.opensubtitles.org/projects/opensubtitles/wiki/XMLRPC)

- When I have to choose the 3D type of my video I get this kind of options: LR-3D-LR-SUB, LR-3D-CENTER-SUB etc. Can you make this more readable so less technical people can understand? Something like: "Side-by-side side-by-side subtitles", "Side-by-side, centered subtitles" and "Top-to-bottom..." etc.

And then, as I mentioned before. There are some bugs in the subtitle engine.
- when there is an embedded subtitle and a external subtitle file both will be shown at the same time by default. When I select: no subtitles and then select a preferred subtitle it works OK again.
- and the problem mentioned a view posts up.

Thanks for listening Wink

Hi!

Zidoo X9S has an application similar to HiControl V200 Himedia Q10 PRO to screen mirroring?


I like HiControl V200!!

Exactly what i wanted to know, no 4K 10bit hevc 24hz support...
Jeez what is it with android?
wesk05, are 4k 10bit 24hz files able to output at 12bit 24hz (4:2:2)?
Thank You.

I've had this happen twice so far, but can't reproduce it. This may make it harder to pin down cause. If you quit out of ZDMC, or better yet, reboot, and restart the movie, it plays fine. But, hopefully Zidoo team can look into this.


RE: Zidoo X9S (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - Skank - 2016-10-24

Glad 2 more people saw the same.
Its a big deal to me.
It shouldnt happen.
Please mirror look into this

You and hdmkv, it was with a 3d movie too? Or non 3d too?

Thank You.
NO. It is 12-bit YCbCr 4:4:4. In fact, it doesn't look like 4:2:2 works at all. From my testing it looks like when you enable deep color mode, the output is 1080p 12-bit YCbCr 4:4:4, 2160p60 12-bit YCbCr 4:2:0, and 12-bit YCbCr 4:4:4 for 2160p 25/30Hz.

In some cases it seems to be merely changing the color depth (CD) fields, but the output signal remains in 8-bit. I am nearing the conclusion that deep color mode implementation is flaky in this firmware (1.2.4).
