👍👍👍 Yat low 😁

Zidoo x9s (realtek 1295 chipset) can do full bluray menus as well. I have both Q10 pro and Zidoo. It already has auto frame rate and resolution sync as part of the android settings option. It also has extra hdmi input for pvr function. No internal hard disk bay though, which is found only in the higher model.

Even Zidoo DVD menus are also full navigation whereas Q10 pro can't do it ( still on 2.0.8 fw). For my old DVD concert collection menus and bonus features are important.

It is weaker in android functions though, with only android 6.

Unfortunately for now, as far as full Blu-ray ISOs are concerned, my collections are mostly 3D blurays iso (about 100). A few have problems with full menus of course, just like Q10 pro. But they have no problem playing with lite menus.

For 4k I am still not collecting yet due to storage size. For now I only have a handful of 4k mkvs and only one 4k ISO (Fantastic Beasts....).

The 4k menu (photo taken with my phone camera) is shown below. The zidoo home screen camera pic is next to it (1080p)

As for Zidoo auto frame rate and resolution , I can't say for sure if it's correctly implemented. It looks smooth to me, but then it could be my TV motion feature.

They are still developing their FW though and just released another update. If you have the money you are welcome to buy and try. The x9s is slightly cheaper than the q10pro. I suggest also to update to their latest FW before testing.

My Samsung TV shows it as 2160p 24p (top right of screen) as in pic, but when the movie plays, this appears briefly on the screen :-

2160p/23.976hz

Talking about Eagles DVD, I transferred some of the my old DVD concerts to my thumb drive to do some testing on the Zidoo Home Theatre 2.0 poster etc.

It automatically scanned from the internet and got the following covers and info very accurately , although they are very old titles. For now the DVDs are mistakenly tagged as BD though lol 😄

I already got the HD DVD eagles farewell tour concert, so the Hell Freezes Over DVD is relegated 😊

Poster wall with Large icons and Medium icons .

Ok, sorry this is my last Zidoo post in Himedia thread 🙏

Allready came across that, but looking to download a better and more permanent copy☺️

As AVFAN said, try movie bar in your app if you have it. If it scans the wrong info you can use the menu options to add/rescan manually or hide unwanted files from view.

Must be connected to internet for search. Specify which source (specific hard disk/USB drive etc. or all) to scan. Must contain recognised media files extensions. Try not to include unknown media files in your storage which you know won't have any posters or info available on the internet.

But I must say the moviebar app not very accurate or elegant, and I don't use it. It couldn't find any posters or info on my Terminator 3 (x265) mkv . Did a manual search and the best it could do was match it with Xbox T3 game cover 😄

Lol, these multiple docking bays were already available for use with media players around 9-10years ago when I first bought my AC Ryan media player.☺️

What 3d tv are you using? Have you used other 3d media player before on this tv?

Also try a better quality HDMI csble.

Strange, I have the 835x and even when using the 5 year old Himedia 910A (Realtek 1186) I can still play recent 3D ISO.

Try press the 3d button on the TV remote, switch between 2d and 3d, see what happens.

Also try some other ISO files, maybe the ones you have not properly copied.

Have you tried 3D half SBS file ? What about 2d mkv etc . Any blank screen ?

But your initial post you said you tried direct HDMI connection to TV but also no image.

If like that probably your H8 also won't have problem if you connect direct.

In the first place is this the first time you are testing 3D on this Pioneer AVR?

If you connect HDMI direct to TV and sound via Optical to Pioneer, then you have to set the Media Player sound setting to spdif raw.

On your Q5 Pro (I assume it's the same interface as Q10 pro) ,when your Native player is playing any video (mkv etc.) Press the menu button on the remote. Then select 'play settings' and then 'Default 3D/2D mode'. Select the 2D option. Exit the movie and player.

In future when you play any 3D ISO, It will play it in 2D. But I am not sure you will get an image or not when passthrough your Pioneer.

You didn't read his posts fully I presume. He just said when he connected direct to TV it is working fine.

2d to 3d conversion is just marketing gimmick. Nothing but fake guesswork , don't waste your time.

At least download some 3D half SBS video mkv. Not as good as the full 3d iso, but at least it's converted from real 3d source.

Also half-SBS shouldnt have a problem with your pioneer AVR. Only thing to remember is, if your player or TV does not automatically activate 3D, you wii see a picture with two squashed frames side by side (hence it's name). You must then manually select the 3D SBS option from either your Player or TV (or 3d button on the remote) to activare SBS 3D.

Btw, You should also try to switch off and unplug your pioneer avr from the wall socket for 5-10 mins to clear any corruption in its memory. Maybe if you are lucky it might clear your problem. Updating to latest fw of your avr also worth considering.

Those ahem torrent SBS 3D files will have the name SBS included in the name of the file, you can't miss it. Also the file format commonly will be in MKV etc. and the file size will be small, almost same size as regular MKV. It won't be in ISO format.

The wrapper is to enable Kodi to use the native player to play video files from within Kodi instead of the Kodi own video player.

Yes, I mentioned the problem before. The futeko forum also got people complain. Don't know they will fix or not.
