Hi guys! Need some help. Netflix suddenly not working with my Zidoo X9s. It says the app is not compatible with the device. Did not touch anything, did not even update. We have been watching Netflix for my son’s kids shows. Thanks

is there a way na hindi mag auto sync yung music files online for titles and cover art? sa akin mali mali kasi yung lumalabas na artist and title minsan and hindi naka arrange yung songs from 1st track to last track naka jumble

(hi mga sir, meron ba app for android to control the z9s for playing music with the display off? ok na yung included na remote?) - ok na used the built in control app to connect my phone

since it's a google OS -- install VLC, SPMC, Kodi, etc... thru Google Playstore

why don't you want to use it's built-in player?  A-rated naman daw performance niya... Home Theater 2.0 ba tawag sa apps niya?

Recently upgraded my media player to the Zidoo Z9S.

Quick question, how do you delete a movie from an external hard drive using the GUI? Salamat.

Open the HDD in the zidoo z9s sir. right click niyo lang yung bilog sa may "OK" ng remote sa folder ng movie na gusto niyo idelete. lalabas sa right side ng screen mga options whether you like to copy, delete, or paste a file. salamat po.

Guys need some help here. Hirap ma back read na so I'll ask nalang. I just open my X9s (got this last year) today connected the original HDMI that came w/ the box to the receiver (oldie DTS-MA 7.1 lang) then only the FRONT HEIGHTS & REAR SURROUNDS are sounding, change the HDMI to a thicker one (dont know the series) only the CENTER CHANNEL & FRONTS are working. I just used the APP that came w/ it Titanium TV.

Any chance that all 7 speakers & sub will work? or do I need to get a better HDMI? I tried also to to set the Audio settings to RAW, AUTO, PCM but to no avail.

Hello Zidoo owners. Is there a way to defragment an external HDD from Zidoo?

Sa old Mede8er ko kasi meron function na FIX NTFS PARTITION.
