I have a doubt if will reproduce the full blu ray and 4k full menu function WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM? All the latest Android-based TV boxes that I have seen in friends have the same problem, the full menu playback function has problems, It doesn't work perfectly as it does on the OPPO UDP 205, 205, when I read the specifications for example of the latest Dune they say "full menu playback in development", I'm not saying that they don't work but the menus always cause problems, so it would be interesting to know if These will have the same problem, I repeat all the ones I have seen based on Android have problems with the full menu playback function, In my case I am not at all interested in any "smart" function, since the TV boxes began to do "everything" the problems began, for example I have my DUNE HD MAX, it is more than 10 years old, and all the Blu ray even the latest ones work perfectly with the full menu function, why? Simple, it doesn't use Android and is focused on being able to play the movies as perfectly as possible with its menus

I'm annoyed at what's happened to Zappiti, don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic machine and plays everything I throw at it in the best resolution, unfortunately now they have gone bust and with the closure of the Zappiti cloud unless I want to subscribe to the new R-revolution video app, which I don't really want to do, I find myself looking at another player similar to the Reference which is the UHD5000. Do you know with Zidoo are their video servers connected to a cloud like Zappiti was?

@taqyon Год назад

Great video! I ordered mine last night. Quesiotns: How is the response when you quickly skip forward and back? Is it as quick as a disk player? I found with Plex it's painfully slow and unstable. Also, can you recommend a hardware player that can run plex AND supports local media? I have a appletv player and the plex is fine, but it has to stream over my network and a uncompressed 4k file can simply not move quickly enough over my lan.

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

Its pretty responsive! There’s no disc drive so its pretty instant. Do you have preview thumbnails on PLEX?

@@hatoraidcowboy I do, yes and plex looks good on appletv, but it's very slow in skipping around in the timeline. It also does not show my chapters.

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

Unfortunately I dont think you’re gonna find a media player that does both for PLEX and local content. 4K media players like Zidoo & Zappiti are meant for playing back local media and that’s it. I believe there is some way to side load apps like PLEX & Kodi, but I hear its a convoluted process and they dont work nearly as good as PLEX clients on other devices

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

You can access all your content on the Zidoo, on your local network over wifi, or via ethernet. Your media needs to be on a computer or NAS also connected to the same network. You would just map your drives on the Zidoo. You can also hook up a hard drive directly to the Zidoo as well.

Hi, thanks for review! Great. There was only mention of ISO and MKV files but does this player play a clean rip of 4k bluray disc lossless audio, no compression, no alteration and via the DISC folder setup that you get from ripping BD? I dont want to rip blurays and then create MKV or ISO. I have noticed some players play files and the information indicates that you have all audio support like atmos, dolby vision and the size is correct, but the player (Nvidia shield pro for example) doesnt send through the sound correctly via eARC LG OLED CX to Marantz reciever. I still feel Im struggeling to find a player that handles it ALL, NO CONVERSION NEEDED, NO COMPROMISES and NO MUSTS before playing, just play it raw. Is there one? :) thanks for reply

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

@adamjj85 Год назад

@Aaron H @Hatoraid Cowboy Cinema Would you say the Zidoo is worth it over just using something like the Shield that does Plex and streaming apps all in one?

@SealedOrPorted Год назад

Zidoo allows side loading apps. It is noteworthy that the Z9X has 2G Ram. Running other services/apps can steal ram from Zidoo services causing playback issues. Doubling ram to 4G would be the thing to do if Zidoo really wanted to support side apps along with Zidoo native apps. FYI even though side apps are allowed, they are not supported. The user does all the support. Only Zidoo apps HT4/MP7 etc. are truly supported. Consider this a local media streaming box.

Great video, new subscriber here 👍 Do you have this Zidoo Z9X connected to a HDFury 4K Vertex2 ? Some on AVS Forum say this combination is great.

Thank you for the support! I have my Z9X connected to an HD Fury 4K Diva and it works great.

I have 4k movies with 7.1 sound in qnap. Can I stream from qnap to zidoo? and which zidoo is the best for something like that?

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

Yup! As long as your files are accessible over the network, you can access them on Zidoo. I only have the Z9X but they all function the same way. You already have a NAS so you could probably just get away with the Z9X.

How is your computer connected ? Mine, with all my movies on external hard drive is linked with Plex through cpl to the tv. Everything working except I tried mad max, and transcoding made lags and freezes...dolby vision, mkv, hdr10, dolby Atmos true hd 7.1 rips, except if watching in sdr but ugly... Don't know if this could be the perfect solution...

DV FEL test maybe ? 1619 not support DV FEL as opposed mediatek on reavon and sony

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

Hello! I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand your question?

@JPace19 Год назад

I think he’s referring to the 3 features in the full DV profile? BP, rPU, EL, FEL. Fel is Full Enhancement Layer. I think he wants you to test the chipset (chip is Realtek 1619) in the Zidoo to see if you can get the Full Enhancement Layer on profile 7 Dolby Vision. I don’t think this device can decode dual video streams simultaneously which is required for FEL. This is what a high end Oppo disc player does or most DV disc players. Not sure how much better it is than streaming DV , profile 5, or low latency DV, or vs10 or even madVR.

@JPace19 Год назад

Anywho, great videos MR Hatoraid. Z9X Zidoo is the best player imo. Looking forward to more of your videos on the Zidoo, HDFury, and LLDV. Great work

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

J P much appreciated brother. And I agree with you I like Zidoo over Zappiti. Both great products but the GUI on the Zidoo is much better and I think there’s more customization.

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

Ahhh ok. I’ll have to look into that. I might see if I can get someone from Zidoo on the channel for an interview and explanation on some features.

Terms like "Android 9.0" scares me when we are currently on Android 13 right now. The phrase "Android 9.0" makes me feel like I'm using ancient technology. I won't buy a Digital media Player with "android" in the title. But all the ones that don't have "Android" in the title, usually have USB 2.0 port.....and USB 2.0 is 23 year old technology. I'm just trying to find a digital media player, that doesn't have "android" operating system and uses USB 3.0 instead of USB 2.0......but I swear, there are literally NO digital media players like that. And the ones that are, are rated terribly on Amazon. Are there any non android digital media players that support USB 3.0 that don't have terrible reviews??? If you can point me in the right direction toward one, I'd gladly use your link to help your channel out as well.

@hatoraidcowboy Год назад

Unfortunately there is no “perfect” media player. Zappiti and Zidoo are probably the best out there right now, but they both have some minor flaws. If I come across any other players worth reviewing I’ll definitely let you know! Thanks for the support!

@@hatoraidcowboy J'ai eu le Zidoo UHD3000 en parallèle du Dune HD Max Vision 4K. J'ai rendu le Zidoo car moins stable que le Dune. Il n'y a pas que Zappiti et Zidoo, il y a aussi Dune, + stable et + fluide que Zidoo et Zappiti.
