Thanks Mirror

it will be a small update available in the next days or with the FW 1.2.8 ?

Maybe a beta version:)


No problem beta testeur are ready Wink

We have been tested for a long times about A/V on version v1.2.7,Because we've changed the audio part(for DTS-HD HRA sync issue).But who knows, there always be unexpected things happen
But don't worry, Because TrueHD/Atmos before it was no problem, we'll find the reason.

I know what im going to ask you id probably a far from your bed show but here it goes anyone.
I truly love zidoo, the only thing left for me is support for an addon, i know you are going to say ask the addon programmer but i think i should ask you too.

The program addon is called cinemavisin. It creates a truly cinemaexperience. I just love it.
However since zdmc uses an external player.. The addon doesnt work., it does when not using external player.
If you could lookinto this and test with a sequence for 2d and 3d , i ll praise you and your team into heaven lol

@mirror88?
Do you try to disable the external player option in ZDMC?

1. I'm not having this issue w/X9S. My settings hold.
2. Think Zidoo and Intel PQ are about equal, but it's subjective.
3. Agree, this box isn't really ideal for video add-ons. For skins, make sure you choose 'Default' for font instead of 'Arial'.
4. You could be right, but I use external player 90% of the time (as it's the real draw w/Zidoo anyway).

@mirror88, for now, what's the best/cleanest way to revert to 1.2.6? I use TrueHD/ATMOS a lot, so will wait for next f/w w/fix hopefully. Thanks.

Most those functionality i mention was works Himedia Q10 Pro, if the external player is the best player,then they need to have the external set as default on ZDMC or any kodi version w/ wrapper.
A lot Kodi members uses Kodi differently and as for now the device is not very usable for me base on my criteria, android hardware are suppose to be plug and play not like tweaking on Windows.

@hdmv, do you still prefer this player to any other? Is there a better player out there in your opinion, given that none of the real bugs with this have been fixed with 1.27?
I have CEC completely disabled. Still like X9S, but last f/w didn't have audio dropouts. 1.2.7 does w/TrueHD and ATMOS. Tried new HDMI cable, but didn't help. @mirror88, you can try any of the TrueHD and ATMOS samples in the a/v test files wiki here.
Thanks.will solve it soon
We tested all of the ATMOS/TrueHD samples two hours,but cant found any problem.What's wrong?

RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - ras96 - 2016-11-25

Hello Mirror,

In version 1.2.6 was Dolby Atmos and TrueHD and very unsynchronized.
In version 1.2.7 there was a significant improvement. All 2D movies fine. But when I release 3D ISO file with Dolby Atmos I have to set the delay +130 milisec. Besides sound sporadically. So I need to take a break and let go again.
Tested 3D movies: The Legend of Tarzan 3D iso, Warcraft 3D iso, Ninja Turtles 3D iso, Alice Through the Looking Glass 3D iso.
This is a major problem which could well be solved.
Another problem is that when I set the language in the main menu on the Slovak and when I rebooted the box and the language is English again.
Sorry my english.

HDMI OUTPUT: 2160P 60HZ
AVR: Pioneer VSX - 1131
Audio: HDMI RAW

Have nice day.

hello,

Does the external player manage formatted hard drives on OSF format ?

thanks


RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - Caramba69 - 2016-11-25

I have tried everything. But I can't get the new firmware working with standard Kodi and the wrapper anymore.

Does anyone has a solution?
