When watching a simple mkv 1080i episode from different series after a while I see frame drops (or low frame rates resulting in stuttering, like that buffer is empty) for a couple of seconds and after that it runs OK. 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?

Yes that is also exactly what I'm seeing. The stutter takes approximately 5 secs. It happens 1-3 times per episode of several TV series. Pressing the play/mute button also helps. But I had this issue also in 1.2.6. I'm using ZDMC with the external player enabled. Streaming from a Synology NAS, wired.

Legend of Tarzan - 4k HDR with Atmos - every 2-3 sec the sound interrups... Very annoying :-( Same for other 4k HDR movies with HD Audio
One more bug - the display setting is set bacl to 720p after shuted down the device - sometimes also while just being switched on...

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.

Can we create a different thread talking about bad Android device and leave this thread for Zidoo X8/X9S support?
Thanks!

Hello,
According to some members of my discussion board, the bluetooth mouse does not work with the X8/X9S,
The mouse and zidoo are paired but no pointer appears on screen.
have nice day

If I choose like player "DVD player" the movie start. With zidoo player no way to start the movie.

I only ask because if you are submitting it as a bug they need the correct information.
One more bug - the display setting is set bacl to 720p after shuted down the device - sometimes also while just being switched on...
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.
