This player is snappy and does a great job of adding all the metadata to your movies. I’d say it’s more accurate than Plex. This is a way better option than an nvidia shield for playing back everything in Dolby formats. I have it plugged in to my hard drive with all my personal copy 4k and blu ray rips. It does have streaming functionality but I’d rather use my Apple TV for that. This isn’t necessarily a streaming box, it’s a player that plays maximum quality files for the best movie experience if you have the appropriate equipment.

The Zidoo Z9X 8K HDR Media Player is Great. It plays everything without problem. I play everything from my Synology NAS with ease. I have nothing to try the 8K on and probably won't for a long while.

I was able to plug in a USB3.0 SSD containing my 4k Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision bluray backups in MKV format. Trying that never worked without playback problems or DA/DV compromises on my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 or Xbox Series X. Also having the automatic poster art is really cool. This seems to be a one stop shop. And the playback quality is awesome, a step above Shield, XB, or streaming apps. Very happy.

Easily connected to my NAS and able to scrub and update the correct movie poster.

I really wanted to like this device. I have a Zidoo Z9X Pro and was very happy. I figured the 8K was a nice upgrade. The issues started right away. When playing back 4K, Dolby Vision files, the movies would regularly pause then resume. It was so frequent and annoying it made them unwatchable. I've contacted Zidoo customer service looking for some guidance, posted in the Zidoo forum and on Facebook. Unfortunately, no solution ever worked, but some others said they were having similar issues. Ultimately, I claimed a warranty issue. Zidoo said they would refund the device, but I have to pay for shipping back. Don't love that, but at least they're refunding me.

Purchased Zidoo9x in March but had to return unit. Media player could not update movie information from TMBD. No information on Zidoo website on how to fix issue. Zidoo player was great connecting to my movie library on a NAS. Playback was great and sound (Sonos) worked great. However, could not find solution to problem via internet movie sites. Looking at R-volution mini for possible purchase. Amazon did refund my account quickly. Movie library is about 1200 titles. Blu-Ray movies look great. If Zidoo can fix issue I may repurchase the device again.

Note: If you are experiencing posters no longer uploading ... On the Zidoo forum there is update apk file link to dl and install for 9X pro and all other more expensive model, one is coming soon for this model!

Product lasted about 3 weeks. Screen started flashing green and eventually never turned on again.While it did work, I loved it. The os is nice and the video/audio quality is great. Maybe this is an issue with the early run or batch? I’m debating reordering but now I’m worried about the quality.
