Surely it uses an external player, which is not kodi.

No, it is custom Kodi.

No, it's their closed-source rkffplayer with a Kodi wrapper. It's basically the same as an external player, but with the Kodi gui.

I thought zidoo used custum kodi and that they released the code for it. I know others use a external player made to look like kodi.

I could be completely wrong just thought or should i say hoped zidoo was doing things correctly
