Love the video
Thank you!
Interesting! :)
To use my iPad to control the Zidoo which App should I download and install from App Store? The “Zidoo Controller” or the “Zidoo Controller HD”?
Does anybody know if i can manually change an individual TV Episodes "Background Image" on the poster wall. ?
Note im running a Zidoo Z2000 Pro media player
Some selected TV background images created by Zidoo are either blurry or an extreme close up of an actor. Everthing else works flawlessly so far with the Zidoo Z2000 Pro (im loving it).
How to identify one episode of a serie if that episode exists on IMDb but not on TMDB? I have that issue with “El Chapo” Season 1 Episode 8 and 9.
Sometimes you have to play around with the naming when you search. I’ve had this issue numerous times and most times I just had to type in the “correct” naming for the Zidoo to find it. Its a bit more time consuming.
@@hatoraidcowboy The strange here is the fact that it finds al episodes for all seasonscexcept this two that are the ones that are reconized by the IMDB but not by the TMDB. I wrote all of them the same way.
@manuelplb Yup. Same thing happened to me. Its weird. I’ve also had where the episode # and name on the box set is different from what imdb says. That happened to me with Seinfeld series. Like it aired that way and imdb is right, but the boxset has a different episode order so it throws everything off
What are your zidoo video settings, I find my video is very dark, although my LG C1 has been calibrated. I am using a zidoo 1000z pro.
Just the standard settings. I havent had to change anything on the zidoo, everything looks fine for me.
To control a Zidoo Z2000 Pro with my IPad which App should I download and install from the App Store? The “Zidoo Controller” or “Zidoo Controller HD”?
You can use either one. One has some Chinese language throughout but is still useable, the other is in complete English but has a slightly different orientation. My suggestion would be to download both and see which one you like. They are both really good.
Does Zidoo allow for the creation of custom poster artwork? For example, I have many concert videos that had no commercial release (and hence no artwork in any database). I have created my own JPEG cover art. But can I add to Zidoo like I was able to with my Zappiti?
I think you can upload your own media, but I have not tried this myself
Yes, that is possible. Did it myself the same way for concert footage.
Is it possible to change the Poster for individual Collections? Good Video. Well explained. Thanks
You’re welcome! And yes I have changed posters for Collections
@@hatoraidcowboy What is the procedure for changing a poster for a Collection? Thanks.
@johnggraves It’s the same as changing a solo poster.
@@hatoraidcowboy Didn't work. With a single movie or tv show, the scraper offers a match and/or options. When I try to change a poster for a Collection, I'm not given that option.
@johnggraves Ok I’ll look and get back to you.
As I keep upgrading my movie collection, I may end up with a 4k, Blu-ray, and maybe even a dvd copy of the same movie. Is there an easy way to delete the dvd & bluray versions of the same movie? ... I.E., it will actualy remove the movie from both the Zidoo and hard drive? The Zappiti was able to perform this function easily.
Personally I like that Zidoo gives you the option to have multiple versions with custom labels under one movie poster. I don't think Zappitti does this. It just gives you the option to have multiple posters with custom labels. As far as deleting files, I have prohibited either from deleting files, so not sure.
@@Macroproxy yes, you do have the option to remove from poster wall as well as delete the file.
@@paulmardis1512 What I meant is I have manually removed those permissions in the NAS to prevent the kids from deleting my library.
Can you please how this is done? @@paulmardis1512
What are your thoughts on Zidoo beta firmware? I see they had v1.0.58 beta and now v1.0.65, but mainline has not been updated since July at v1.0.52 which is what I am running
I need to look and see what version I am on
Does Zidoo offer some kind of IR extender? Mine is at the back of the theater and sometimes using the remote is a challenge.
I dont think Zidoo has a self branded extender but you can probably find a universal one on amazon
@@hatoraidcowboy I don’t see the typical IR jack on the device
@dbbfishing2528 Which one do you have?
I know my z2000 remote is IR and bluetooth, but out of the box the BT is not paired. After I did that once, works great without line of site using BT
@@jastorino maybe the Z20 pro doesn’t come with a Bluetooth remote. I’m not seeing any way to connect it
I have the Zidoo Z9X Pro and try as hard as l can with settings but l can't get this player to do DTS HD MA from my Bluray rips does it support DTS HD MA my AV Receiver just says DTS HD all the time my last player Mede8er sent DTS HD MA to my AV Receivers display
Weird I’ve never had any issues with DTS HD MA or DTS:X
@@hatoraidcowboy
I get Dolby True HD fine but for some reason I can only get DTS HD to show on my AV Receivers display not DTS HD MA for some reason, got to be some setting that I have not tried but strange how I get Dolby True HD you would think I would not get that either, if my settings were wrong.
I have tried both Zidoo HDMi Audio settings to Raw or Automatic both with same results just DTS HD
@@hatoraidcowboy
Hi I just found out the Zidoo player is playing DTS-HD MA files ok, its Marantz, with the new cinema line AV Receivers they have shortened it to just DTS-HD, taken the MA off, bit strange of the company Marantz doing this
How big external HDD can I connect to my Zidoo Z2000 Pro through the USB 3.0 port? 16 TB or 18 TB?
Probably 16
@@hatoraidcowboy Thanks for the reply
@manuelplb Yessir
Will this work with the older ones?
No this is only on the new models
Can you set a static IP on the zidoo?
I did that on my router.
@@hatoraidcowboy thanks, I have starlink and Eero, so I am not able to do this with DHCP, Starlink does not offer fixed IP
Yes you can, in the Network setting, just disable DHCP Option and input your IP address manually and click save.
@@paulmardis1512 thanks, on the Zidoo or the router?

Hey bro, I have a question. I am finishing up my room. I had to redo my shelf that my projector is on so that it is more level. When I plugged my HDMI in I was longer getting a video source but I was still getting audio. Do you have an idea of what the issue could be? I am running a 50ft Ruipro c8k fiber Gen 3 cable. Last week it was working, this week after fixing my shelf and plugging it back up it isn't working. I tried the cable that I have connected to my cube as well still no signal. I put my Cube on my projector shelf with that cable and connected it straight to the projector. Still no video signal. Do you know what it could be? Thanks for your help.
If you’re using the same hdmi cable during troubleshooting then it might be the cable. I actually just had this happen this week with one of my hdmi’s I’ve had for years. The video cut out on me while I was using my blu ray player, but I was still getting audio. I would try another hdmi
@@hatoraidcowboy cool, I ordered another one. I'll also try another cable as well. If the new cable doesn't work then would the issue be the projector? Also what cables are you using?
@percybedford6266 It COULD be a bad hdmi port on the projector. You have the LS12000 now tho right? I doubt it would be the projector but it could be. Is there anything between the projector and your receiver? HDFury?
@@hatoraidcowboy I haven't hooked up the HD Fury yet. Was going to do it yesterday. I just had the HDMI in the output of the processor, and my Cube and blu ray player in the inputs of the processor. I wanted to get everything aligned first and then hook up the HD Fury. I am thinking it may be the cable. If this new cable works then we will know for sure. Yes I have the LS12000, so I am thinking the port on it still should be good.
@percybedford6266 Yea its probably the hdmi cable.
can i using Zidoo UHD 5000
Do you have the latest model?
