zidoo Z9X 8K- 8K HDR Media Player, Android 11 OS, Amlogic S928X-K Processor 6G+64G, VPU Video Engine&VS10 Image Engine,4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, BDMV/ISO,for Video & Audio Playback

It's great for playing local content such as ripped movies and music. I have been using Plex on a different box, but this has it's own built in media player that directly accesses your media on a nas or even hard drive attached to it directly. Works great and handles HDR 10 videos and TrueHD Atmos audio tracks.

This is the perfect solution for my home movie collection which sits on a 50TB NAS. Unlike my Amazon Fire cube or Roku while using Plex, the Zidoo grants me full Dolby Vision and full DTS sound tracts. As a standalone unit, it categorizes the movies just as good as Plex. I've plugged it into my HA (Home Assistant) automation setup as well as getting it working perfectly with my Harmony Elite remote. This is a great unit and I’m glad I found it. Now, I still run Plex for the "normal" TV setups around my house that still have Rokus and I dont need the full features of the Zidoo. The Zidoo is for use in my Home theater with a 7.1.4 atmos setup.

Worked great made a difference on my sound system..

It freezes constantly. Ima try to hook it to ethernet and see how it goes. I updated the firmware. Its annoying i have to get up and switch off and on.

Best product regarding speed, compatibility with different kind of media . There are some limitations on digital audio output mostly optical out .

I wanted a box that played files off my NAS. That’s all. This is exactly what I needed. Easy to connect and auto scans folder you point it to for movies and files to play. I started renaming a bunch to fit what it’s looking for and it started getting posters and movie info. Really easy to be a player for backups of physical media. I also work in movie post production and wanted an easy way at to play back projects I worked on. This is also great for that. I can make really high bitrate files and it plays them back with ease. Anything that modern like h264 or h265 content is awesome. I have it set to pass audio through hdmi and that has worked perfectly. It’s an easy way to test atmos projects how they will be streamed.

Perfect. The reviews people leave for these devices about streaming Netflix, yeah that's not what this is. If you have a serious networked media collection on your home server this is what you need. I have a 9.4.4 system and three other zidoos throughout the house and these handle anything you throw at them. All my 4k rips are full bit rate, dolby atmos competely uncompressed files. No problems whatsoever. Highly recommend if that's what you're looking for.

Before the Zidoo, I have an Apple TV for my dedicated home theater. I worked really well at them time until I got into ripping physical media using MakeMKV. I then discovered that the Apple TV doesn’t support TrueHD Dolby Atmos pass through so I was not getting the highest quality audio that my discs had. I could have gotten a Blu-ray player or a kaleidoscape but with my AV rack being 2 rooms away changing discs would be too inconvenient and the kaleidoscape is way outside of my budget. In comes the Zidoo player! It is the perfect solution for me. Convenient and affordable! I just rip my 4K UHD discs to my NAS, connect the NAS to the Zidoo player and thats it! Pure Dolby Vision, ATMOS, HDR 10+ and you entire library at your finger tips. My only complaint is remote app. Since my AV rack is too far for the included IR remote to work and the app could be improved. But nothing a software update can’t fix. I did buy the v12 Bluetooth remote and everything has been great!

Es un excelente equipo para poder ver tus peliculas 4k UHD que ripeaste como remux. Yo buscaba un equipo que tuviera el passtrough de dolby atmos y dts:x sin perdida y este equipo lo tiene. No presenta lags al estar viendo las peliculas, todo va fluido.

Mega Player, nicht mit dem Vorgänger zu vergleichen! Der ist sein Geld wert.

Been using this for almost 3 weeks now, and I would say that I’m satisfied with it’s performance. The Tidal app has a bug but other than that this player is a beast!

Great media player, just what I was looking for. Plays all type of video and audio files as well as allows to view local photos in best quality on tv from the attached disk. Only ywo drawbacks - no voice input in youtube and does not show full subtitle/audio details if there are multiple options for same language.

Good delivery
