How is the quality ? Is playback smooth ?
I have stutters on my Philips Android TV, both on 1080/60 and 720/60. If I use 720 (don't know fps, guessing 30 or 25) it is OK.
Thanx

I have a question regarding setting up network shares to work with Zidoo and Raspberry Pi. Perhaps someone run into this case.
I have a hard drive connected to my Raspberry Pi running Kodi LibreElec. The drive is shared on the home network. Share is not restricted in any way (no password). I can see the share browse and access all files with my Windows computers and another Raspberry Pi.
I can't access the share on Zidoo. ZDMC gives me error "Connection Timeout" when I try to access server RaspberryPi and not even shares. The same if I enter IP address of Rasbperry Pi. Media browser from Zidoo finds RaspberryPi and it will display first level of directories and shares on the device. When I try to enter any of the shares / directories even public like pictures etc. I get pup up window asking for username / password. I didn't set up username password and anonymous check box brings back username / password window.
Zidoo works fine with all other shares on my network from WD "MyBookLive" and "WDMyCloud" NAS. All of them have passwords set up.
I didn't bother with passwords on Raspberry Pi since it is not on most of the time and I only start it on occasion as needed.
What is Zidoo looking for? Is this related to some SMB server version set up on Raspberry Pi? Or perhaps SMB client on Zidoo needs username / password to access network shares?

I found the issue with Zidoo not reading Raspberry Pi attached drive (share). I'm going to write it here if anybody else runs into it.
What did it for my was changing on Raspberry Pi > System > LibreELEC > Services > Minimum supported protocol to "SMB1". Default was SMB2.
Now I can browse and scan media located on hard drive USB attached to Raspberry Pi and play media directly off it. Very convenient. I keep some older movies this way. The drive is powered down all the time. Movies are in Kodi database. I only power it up if I'm trying to see something again or show it to somebody else.

Its more likely you have override picture settings in OPPO
as it doesn't make sense you are comparing via feeding ZIDOO into OPPO HDMI IN, the results are slightly better because of more correct brightness and contrast adjustments.
To make them 100% comparable, you should calibrate your display for OPPO source and calibrate your source for ZIDOO source, then do a comparison by playing content from OPPO and from ZIDOO separately, not via feeding ZIDOO into OPPO HDMI IN.
Video Chain: SONY VPL-VW760ES/VPL-VW885ES > Lumagen Radiance Pro 4444 > OPPO UDP-203/ZIDOO X9S > Elite Screen 16:9 135" 1.1 Gain MaxWhite
Audio: Sony BDMV 9200 5.1 System
