RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - wesk05 - 2017-01-02
True, it becomes apparent only when you compare MKV and ISO. I first noticed it with Hugo when I was going back and forth with ISO and MKV to figure out the black bar issue.
RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - Skank - 2017-01-02
Tried 1.2.8 beta 5 too
Huge issues with dts-hd tracks, unwatchable!
Still same old bugs, nothing fixed!
Cracks in audio in main menu zdmc while scrolling, harmfull for speakers!
Watched movie "the bfg" with dts-hd track, as soon as movie starts, audio problems until thr end of the movie!
Get this asap right! Rating of. This player should go to B for the moment cause these are Main stuff that should work! Will report in beta forum

I have x8 with 1.2.6 and external player subtitle is not seen after a time, If reset android works again but after a time it does not work anymore, it is a issue 1.2.6?

I agree this is basic stuff that should have been working on release very dissapointed.
RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - Binnetie - 2017-01-02
Whats the best way to play en full 3D bluray or full 2D bluray?
I have a 50GB 3D bluray iso from the Gravity with menu. If i try to play it from ZDMC i can play only the 2D movie. When i play it from Media Center, i only plays the main movie in 3D but in both situation i don't see a menu.

The ZDMC or Kodi doesn't support BD Menu unless you use VidOn XBMC, but doesn't work well..
Too much bugs

Look at eGreat A5 if you want BD menus... fairly good player, w/full menus, but no 23.976 (24.000 only). Also no 3D flipeyes as yet.

(2017-01-02, 04:27)hdmkv Wrote: You guys are right... re-ripped a couple of 3D discs via MakeMKV and 3D isn't as good as ISO counterparts. But, not noticeable right away... it was an early scene in 'Sammy Adventures' that was more revealing. Playback is definitely smoother than before when 3D MVC was working w/earlier f/w's, so looks like Zidoo has some optimizing work to improve render quality.
We found that the files maked by makemkv are not standard MVC
But there are no problem with the files maked by mkvmerge.

We've made some real progress. The cause of this problem is more complicated, maybe have a result in a week

But there are no problem with the files maked by mkvmerge.
RE: Zidoo X9S & X8 (4K / HDR / 3D / HD Audio): Review & User Impressions - wesk05 - 2017-01-03
I will second that. It doesn't seem to be an issue with Intel h/w or the Pi2.
I find that if you increase the "delta offset" to 3 or 4, 3D depth seems to match that from ISO.
@mirror88: how do you make a MVC MKV with mkvmerge? I wasn't even aware that mkvmerge supported MVC. As far I know, makemkv is truly lossless, it doesn't touch the video track.
