Apparently it does work if they have their own power. So 16tb is only for internal Sata. So I will take the chance and order this one once it's available. I have 8x 20tb external hard drives 😂
Wasn't this a limit on older models with 32bit Android? Anyway, even 20 TB may not be enough for many people, so netwotk sharing is probably the best choice for years to come...@@SteveMuller1976
Hello my friend. I doubt between (Zidoo Z9X 8K ) and (dune hd pro 8k plus). I don't need an internal hard drive. I'm going to stream via nas. what would you recommend? For me, picture and sound are the most important. greetings from the Netherlands
Hi Great Video. I'm not tech savvy and I have a couple questions for you. I suppose the SATA cable that comes with the Z9X works with either a 2.5 or 3.5-inch HDD's. And does the SATA cable that comes with the Z9X supply power to the external Sata 2.5 or 3.5 HDD. One more final question, can you recommend a powered adapter to transfer files from my PC via USB 3 to SATA HDD.
Has anyone found the fix for lip sync issues with Dolby TrueHD on this player? There is a temporary work around but you'd have to do this every time you played a Dolby TrueHD movie.
question.....i have a pc hosting my Hard Drives full of 4k and 1080p movie rips. How is this product better than using my Nvidia Shield TV Pro with Plex to watch the files on my home theater ?
@@tomconnell7154 its kinda the same except these devices only goal is the use it for your setup, much better optimized and everything is mostly plug and play where in your setup you got to set up plex and more things, posters etc. But if you know what you are doing then it wont make a difference for you.
Unfortunately, a very poor superficial review of a device with so many functions. Poster Wall unfortunately not shown at all. And damn it, take your hands out of the picture! !
I had a question about Dolby Vision. Does this media player supports DV profile 7? This is the DV standard that comes with most UHD releases. I know the Nvidia Shield supports it. For example Apple TV supports only profile 5, 8 and 8.1. So if you play your own content on Apple TV that has dv profile 7 it will fallback to hdr10. For that reason I use my Shield. But the question is if this device can do the same
Because this is a licenced product with Dolby Labs certification, it will only read 12 bit FEL Dolby Vision as 10 bit MEL (base video layer + dynamic metadata). You need a hacked Ugoos player (there are only specific Ugoos models that are hackable) for 12 bit Dolby Vision file playback.
Just at the starting line of exploring a NAS setup. Had someone suggest I get one of these players to use with it rather than Plex or Emby. But in your video you mention we'd need Plex (or other) to play my local library. Can you explain for a dummy?
No Plex needed. Simply point the Zidoo to your shared folder on the NAS and it will scrape and add your movies to its Home Theater 5 app. There are several videos showing how to set up a Zidoo with a NAS on YT.
@@ZinoNetic I had the Dune HD Premier 4K Pro and it was constantly micro-stuttering in movies higher than 70-80 Mbps. Both from Plex and also from internal storage with a SSD. I saw this Zidoo z9x 8k and then I watched this video ruclips.net/video/6rLLOUZu2Hk/видео.html from you. Is the Zidoo z9x 8k micro-stutter free in high bitrate movies or do we need to get the R_volution Playerone 8k ?

Do you perhaps know if I can attach my 20tb external hard drive via USB 3.0 or does it have a 16tb max?
You should be able to.
In the specs it says 16tb

whats the speed for crolling poster walls?

Does it play from bluray directory structue?
And what about playing hevc files?
Supposedly, it has improved Blu-ray directory playback compared to previous models. However, the proof is seeing it for yourself.
