I have been using the Zidoo Z9X 8K for some weeks now. It is really good. The picture quality is astounding. A Full HD blu-ray Rip in SDR looks better than the same movie on 4k-HDR streaming!

The only annoying thing is that those antennas don't come off! who uses wifi for a video device that is not mobile!??

6/* Another cool feature is that you can change the size and placement of blu-ray (PGS) subtitles. I have never seen that before and I didn't even know it was possible.

5/* That dolby VS-10 engine is remarkably good at converting non-HDR content to HDR well mastered blu-rays look almost like 4k-HDR when played by the Zidoo.

4/* and then there is the video quality. It has all the video setting options you could ever need. And a few that you will probably never need. It has Dolby VS-10 engine so it can convert Dolby Vision content for TVs that don't have dolby vision and the other way around really well. I watched Dune part 1 yesterday and it looked better than it does on AppleTV, Shield, or my cheap-ish Panasonic 4k player.

3/* It can play complete blu-ray, dvd, and 4k blu-ray rips (iso files) correctly with menus, animation, seamless branching, and everything. The tools for managing the collection are easy to use. And if you adhere to its file naming conventions you get some really cool options. The interface is nice, works well, and is not overly flashy.

2/* The problem is that the only streaming box that has audio passthrough of both dolby atmos and DTS-X is Nvidia ShieldTV and it is quite old and not very stable to use with modern content. So instead of having one box that does all but not well. I'll one box that does streaming well (appletv) and another box that does local media well. And it does local media very well!

It connects to all the major media servers (emby, Plex, Jellyfin, etc) with its native player and it has its own poster wall media app that works quite well.

I upgraded my #HomeCinema setup with a Zidoo Z9X 8k mediaplayer. It is a nice piece of tech that does one thing really well. It plays media files (movies,tv-shows) that the user have on a mediaserver, NAS og just plugged in to the side of the box. It runs android but that is a technicality, because there is no acces the the google play store. You can install a firmware upgrade that enables play store but you won't use it much anyway because, aside from youtube, none of the major video streaming services support it. 1/*

The #RaspberryPi wasn't enough to 'scratch my itch' for #SBC/#MiniPC #homelab -bing. Now, I'm tempted to do something with this old #Android TV Box my dad bought that has been left abandoned for many years now cos it's pretty garbage (as a TV box).

It's the #Zidoo X6 Pro, and looking up its specs, it seems to have the #Rockchip #RK3368 CPU which AFAIK, is pretty decent. It has also has a gigabit ethernet port (shocking), 2x USB 2.0 ports, and a Micro SD card slot (besides some other ports like HDMI, etc.).

Anyone knows/has a guide on how I can get #Linux on this thing - assuming it doesn't require me to do any hardware tinkering like soldering, etc.?

I dream of expanding my #homeCinema with a #zidoo z9x 8k.
Have I understood correctly, that it comes without google play store support, but that you can upgrade it to get acces to google play store apps?
Do these apps then work correctly with dolby atmos HDR and everything?
