A projector owner here, how is the HDR. TO SDR./tone mapping qaulity with these players any good?
isn't there an adjustment setting in the player to compensate for that? in saying that my projector is a jvc dla-x7900.....looks i'm stuck with the HTPC/Madvr. solution for HDR TO SDR. for now.Hi, the HDR to SDR for 4k files downgrade gives a really dark image on my Optoma HD80 projector. Native 1080p files are fine.
yes that was visible, but i was just looking for more details , as the above user has got projector, and wanted to hear from him if he treid those setting with any success on a projector, please if u could report back your finding about HDR. TO SDR bt2020. thanks.Is my post above not visible? Not being funny but it doesn't show up in my "your content" tab which I have reported as a Forum bug.
Yes, there are adjustments for the HDR conversion in the Zidoo - I've not had a play with them yet but I will later and report back......
im sure that the zidoo has (HDR to SDR Rec.2020 mode) it's there in the setting options if u look for it, so what it do's exactly in this mode, is that it convert HDR TO SDR, but keeps the color space (rec2020) untouchedSDR is REC709, not BT2020 AFAIK so the Zidoo needs to do colour-space conversion.
I'll check later when I get a chance (tied up sorting out bath waste pluming ATM)!
I find the same.Hi, the HDR to SDR for 4k files downgrade gives a really dark image on my Optoma HD80 projector. Native 1080p files are fine.
I’ve been reading various threads and reviews but it just ends up a right muddle.
I currently have a Oppo 205 and rip 4K movies to bdmv folders on a Nas box, these play perfectly as though I’d put the disc in the player, menus / forced subs / HDR etc.
likewise up to 1080 my htpc with Jriver plays back folder rips flawlessly but stumbles on 4K. Between the two I can cover most cases but I would like a media player to do the same (if possible) in a second location on the network, is this possible?
I don’t need DV ( screens don’t handle it) and only need forced subs.
which media box out of the Dunes/Zidoo or Zappiti gives the best folder playback?
or am I better off buying a nuc that can run 4K folders via Jriver?
Hopefully someone can give me the straight answers I need please.
Thanks.

OMG! Not you too.
I did the same.
It can apply to Windows as well, it's just something I forgot about. No big deal, the source scanning is very quick and the matches are very accurate with only a few incorrect matches for each of my shares.I always just reboot box a few times then unplug from the Mains
then power back on .
Never have had any issues .
Thanks for that, trying to get straight information from the net sometimes is a very frustrating task.Simple straight answer is that none of these android boxes will be as good as the Oppo for BDMV folder playback. But if you have to choose one then Dune is the best of the three for folder playback. These days I mostly use just use my Cambridge Audio player which like the Oppo is efficient as a Blu-ray player, albeit without picture wall.
As far as I am aware Jriver creates its own menu structure and does not support Java BDMV folders, so the experience would not be the same.

I think most of us always turn off CEC features as they are always problematic. For those of us with Harmony remotes (which also can be a PITA) CEC is a thing of the past.No mention of a fix for the CEC problem
Don't know why this box (Z9X) has the issue, my old X9s never had any CEC problems and none of my kit has changed since then.....
