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.
Out of interest which specific online reviews ?

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've also the problem that if I turn off and on the player, it loose settings. Like display dimmer for example

Did you mux the Atmos audio from the blu ray yourself? both the HDR version and the normal 4K version of this on usenet only have DTS-HD? I only ask because if you are submitting it as a bug they need the correct information.
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.
