This media player works great with movies recorded in .iso. Also was able to install Tivimate app that works great! Love this media player.

At the end of last year, I set up a NAS to stream movies so I wouldn't have to mess with finding the right disk. I was originally using jellyfin to manage the streaming, but I had a lot of issues (sound playing in the wrong language, subtitles not working). So I gave up on that and bought the zidoo instead. Setup was a breeze and I don't have any of the issues I was having with jellyfin. It does have trouble sometimes with figuring out the movie metadata; I've had a number of movies where either it showed as the wrong movie or it didn't find anything at all. Fortunately, it's easy to log in to the device from my desktop and search for the correct metadata. I think part of the issue is that many of the movie filenames have underscores rather than spaces and the software doesn't seem to work without spaces. Using it, my main complaint is the remote; everything is very dark and it's difficult to find the button I want, especially when I'm using my projector and have the lights down low. I end up turning on lights just so I can find the button I want. I've also had a few occasions where I got stuck in a field on the settings screen and couldn't get out. If the remote and settings were just a little easier to use, this would be a five star device. Overall? It's kind of expensive for a device that's just replacing a free app, but for my use case it works better than anything else I tried, and it's not too expensive compared to the cost of the NAS and the movies themselves. I wish the remote was better (I'm probably going to end up looking for a universal remote that can work with it) but other than that I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

Using Google Play can work but turn of the play protect and you'll get to use whatever app you've side loaded. Great Box. This is my fourth Zidoo. Have one in every room. All interconnected to a main HDD. Could use a bit better file manager and the app ones you have to buy isn't a good option (Please Zidoo work on a better file manager). I don't like that option of having to buy a better file manager. The remote could use a little work too. Sometimes it is glitchy. The back light doesn't work well at all. But, having said all that, I have the amazon stick the Nvidia and others. I would buy this again. I also wish that when android upgrades higher (Now Android 11) that the apps stay up with all the changes. Seems to always make my apps that worked great not so much. And takes some work on my side and begging the app providers to work on updates to their apps. But again, I like it.

Where do I start? It's total garbage, starting with the remote. It's a dark charcoal gray, and the symbols on the buttons are like maybe 1/100th of a shade lighter, you can't make them out even if you shine a flashlight on it. I have a 4K tv, but it would only play movies in 1080p, it takes forever to scan all your movies, while Plex and Jellyfin take like a minute, tops. Videos constantly stutter and drop audio, you have to pause and re-start to stop it, but it only fixed it for less than a minute before it would start again. I reset to factory specs and had to go through the whole scanning thing all over again, but it still did everything I mentioned above, only the stuttering got worse. Oh, and way too many movies were assigned the wrong posters and synopses. For example there was one called "The Gardens of Paradise" with a weird graphic, I had no idea what it was, and I had to play the beginning of the movie (which took forever because of the stuttering and freezing) to discover it was the movie "Lucy", then you have to jump through hoops to find and load the correct poster and movie description. Unbelievable. The shame is, for the brief moment that it worked as it should, the picture and audio quality were subperb. I complained to Amazon and they immediately sent me a new one, but I'm not even going to open the box. I want my $266 back.

As a video player, it seems pretty good. I didn't exhaustively test it for this and never ran into the video stuttering that some people have complained of. I compare it to my now-orphaned Zappiti Neo at 3x the price and it has a couple of features the Zappiti lacks, such as true fast forward/rewind and next/previous chapter. The "video wall" user interface is... nice. Not great, but that's only because I'm spoiled by the superior and far more flexible Zappiti (now R_volution) "video wall" UI. Given the size of my video collection, I really need the better Zappiti UI. I primarily bought it as a music player though as my Zappiti cannot play DSD64 audio files without inserting short, silent gaps between them. For live albums and concert albums, that drives me nuts. The Zidoo can play all audio files it supports in a true, "gapless" manner. However, despite claiming to do so properly, the player simply cannot handle multi-channel DSD64 files (or multi-channel SACD ISO files for that matter) without frequent "stuttering". According to the Zidoo forum, this is a known issue despite them being able to do this on older hardware with older software. One step forward, two steps back. I'll be monitoring the Zidoo forum to see if this ever actually gets fixed and will probably buy another one if it does. I just won't bother using it for a video player.

The most brilliant feature of the Zidoo is its VS-10 Dolby Vision engine. This is capable of outputting DV to any HDR device, even ones that don't support DV. I recently purchased a Samsung OLED TV. It's a beautiful device, but has one glaring shortcoming - Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision HDR. I was going to return the TV, but then i discovered this Zidoo. The picture quality this player provides brings my TV to a whole new level of brilliance. There are some major limitations with this device. It is not certified by the major players, so streaming services only provide low bitrate streams - DVD quality at best. Likewise, you can't hook up a Bluray player and play retail discs. There are licensing issues that prevent any of this from working. What you can do is fill a hard drive with 1:1 rips of UHD or Bluray discs, and play those back through the Zidoo Dolby Engine. With this usecase, you'll get an incredible picture that you could only get with more expensive and limited devices like the HDFury Vertex. You need two devices to maximize the capabilities of today's TV's - one for streaming, and one for local playback. For local playback, Zidoo is in a field by itself. It's that good.

Excelente producto, reproduce toda colección de películas desde 720p, hasta 4k incluso isos o mks de más de 70gb, también permite reproducir las pistas de sonido desde dts, ac3, etc., hasta sonido atmos en el reciber, una gran compra.

I had one before and it was awesome, this new one is really nice however does not support 120hz at 4k, only 60. However must movies are 60hz except for the very fast action movies and sports that use 120hz.

Es un reproductor excelente de Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, no soy muy bueno en cuestiones de Redes pero puedo ver todos los archivos de video que tengo desde mi LapTop por medio de Ethernet y también desde una Sandisk con todas mis películas conectadas directamente al zidoo por USB-C, en mi opinión le faltaría una actualización en la manera que se observa la página principal, el Home Theater 5.0, tiene algunos detalles como no reproducir los trailes desde internet, pero creo que están trabajando en ello. Sumamente recomendable, lo conecté a mi AVR Onkyo sin problemas.

Amazing device if you store your MKV file locally - does everything I want and plays all my MKVs smoothly with frame matching.
