![]() ![]() Some people like HT, I don't and I will explain why. Well, I'm still using ZDMC 17.6.1 (so Krypton), because it works perfectly for me, and I see no point in upgrading to ZDMC 18.4, The huge benefit of ZDMC in general is, that the native external Zidoo player is used when playing video, so it's the same "base" like the Media Center or HT (I would not use the standard Kodi player for anything because not optimized for the Zidoo hardware and no HD audio), but with a nice customizable look. Leia runs flawlessly on my FireTV 4K (2nd gen) upstairs on my 48" set, but it doesn't do TrueHD, Atmos, etc. Zidoo has frozen temporarily (I had that problem with all versions of Krypton once in awhile), but it continues so it's still the better choice. I can resume, but it's a PITA with that happening. TINYMEDIAMANAGER HANGS ON UI UPDATECan the HT 2.x version work with 2.1.28 or does that require newer? Is there a link for the latest version or does that update with the firmware? I don't really get why there's a software update button in the preference pane when it never finds anything.Īlso will KODI 18.x Leia work at all with 2.1.28 firmware or does that require one of the newer (buggier) firmwares? I still use Krypton on the Zidoo because with Leia on my Shield it randomly "stops" 40+ minutes in like I actually hit the stop button. I normally actually play off the built-in player. What about ZDMC? What's the best version to use now that there's a "Leia" build? Was the Krypton one more stable? Did either work better with 23.976 fps sync?Ĭurrently, I tend not to use ZDMC except as an alternative database (easier to look up information, count totals, etc. I had audio dropouts once in awhile for a second with 2.1.22. TINYMEDIAMANAGER HANGS ON UI INSTALLIt's odd since Leia is more stable on my FireTV, but the Shield randomly stops and my current Zidoo firmware crashes if I try to install it so I was hoping to try with a newer firmware, but not if it's going to make 3D playback or some other thing behave worse. I've read KODI "Leia" versions will now run, but how well? Krypton works fine here on my current firmware (heck I forget which version it's even using offhand, but it's about a year old) and given I have problems with my Nvidia Shield randomly "stopping playback" for no apparent reason with Leia and its firmware, I need at least one of my boxes to run KODI halfway well and right now that's the Zidoo X9S since it at least doesn't randomly stop (I have seen it freeze for a second a couple of times, though but Krypton did that on the Shield too sometimes). Well that and ZDMC doesn't run as smooth as the native player. ![]() It was working fine here except for the occasional audio stutter with 3D playback for unknown reasons (seems random and happens maybe once every three films and I run them off a local NTFS hard drive). I don't want to make things worse for no obvious benefits ("optimize this and optimize that" means nothing to me. So, nothing really fixed from the previous broken list and therefore nothing to see? I read horror stories about 2.1.30 so I've not upgraded. ![]()
