i have audio dropout with this movie :

Nom/name : Star Wars 7 + Bonus_Bluray VFF CoolCpu
Taille/size : 73.21 GB
With output resolution set to 4K, it always had A/V dropouts when deep color option was enabled. Is this just audio dropout or both audio & video?

If it is with 1080p60, then it is something new and specific to the title. I will check the title sometime next week. I think deep color (and YCbCr 4:2:2) makes a difference only with 4K. I haven't noticed dropouts at 1080p.

i made a video (ID4 2016) with zidoo x8 first and q10 pro second portion of the video

ID4 2016 iso 2d


Ghostbuster 2016 iso 2d


but i do not have the issue with MKV remux.

1. Settings - Developer options - Stay awake - OFF
2. Setting - Display - Daydream - ON - the upper right corner of the three points - When to daydream - While charging
3. Setting - Display - Daydream - select the desired screensaver
4. Setting - When to daydream - choose the time after which screen saver turns on
If Setting - Display - Daydream - OFF, after a specified time tv-box will go into standby mode

Thanks spawn_lmg

May I copy it on my thread ?

Looks like Zidoo is getting ready to post a beta testers only f/w v1.2.8_Beta2 in the Best Test Group section of their forum. This is a welcome move.

Hoping @wesk05 signs up, @movie78, @OlivierQC and anyone else who wants to help test if some of the recently reported buggy behaviors have been addressed.

I have faith in you and the other testers Smile. I just don't have enough time to "beta test" and report the findings in a timely manner.

Going back to @OlivierQC's problem with audio dropouts, I almost threw my box out the window yesterday night. I was testing Ghostbusters 2016. I got the dropout exactly at the same timepoint as OlivierQC. The audio dropouts seemed to be random. It wasn't just dropouts for me, I also noticed that there was audio crackling. If this is happening with passthrough audio, I am not sure what is going on. This is actually the first time that I have tested 2D ISO on the X9S.


RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - OlivierQC - 2016-12-19

thanks wesk05, i'm not alone

I had no answer from zidoo about this issue,

and as I said above, himedia Q10 pro does not have this issue with iso 2D


i created a new thread on zidoo forum :

http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/audio-dropout-dts-hd.3726/


see you

I can also confirm the 720p issues someone already reported I believe... takes a while for playback to start (like box is frozen), then after stopping playback, screen goes blank (had to un-plug, re-plug box).

Already solved it Smile

Hello, new owner of x8 here. I successfully updated to 1.2.7 yesterday. I have to check that everything is working, at least all my needs. I will post next days.

Dear mirror88, since you have the possibility to test Denon AVR, please check cec function with it.
In my setup (denon x3100 and Panasonic VT50) cec doesn't work correctly. When I start up x9s, tv does not turn on and does not change input to correct input.
It works with Ps4 and Sony blu Ray player.
In zidoo hdmi cec menu I've activate all options. The last one is set to "cec".
The only one not activated is "auto power on from tv". If I activate this last one option, once I turn on TV, also zidoo turns on by itself.
Thank you for support

Hi there. I have a Yamaha RX-A3050... but, I haven't experienced dropouts or other audio issues w/1.2.7. But, I've only had time to watch about two movies a week. I have CEC disabled (if that makes a difference), and my AVR is connected to a 1080p PJ (not 4K).
