Well this is beginning to become an annoying problem, using all of your settings anything that I play results in the TV screen going black (not standby as I first thought) after approximately 40 minutes, the film will still be playing as the sound continues, and if I press the source button (or some others) on the TV's remote the picture comes back fine.Just for trouble shooting if nothing to do with your tv ?
switch off cec on Zidoo etc
& Hdcp Off on Zidoo

I have also noticed that even with CEC turned off and with the box in standby it is interfering with my Apple TV's CEC settings and stopping it's remote controlling the TV volume. If I unplug the Z9X the Apple TV remote works fine again.
And yet another thing is that after changing the Dolby Vision Compatible Mode to Priority standard DV (TV Led) it does not always save it and sometime reverts back to LLDV (Player Led).
I may try another factory reset later, but am hoping somebody on here has the answers as I am stumped.
I will add that I am using this with an LG55E6, a Pioneer AVR-X2400H alongside my ATV4K & Vero 4K which are all connected to the receiver and set to passthrough to the TV. I have had no problems with this setup for a very long time and have tried several HDMI cables that all work perfectly with the other boxes...Thanks for any help.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Lindy and am not using the supplied cable, I am using other certified 4K cables that all work flawlessly with my other devices including playing very large DV & HDR10 files through Infuse Pro on the ATV 4K, the Vero 4K is also flawless with HDR & 3D...Looks like a may have got a lemon of the classifieds on here. I will do a reset and see what happens.Poss workarounds
Lindy HDMI CEC Adapter
Strips CEC from the HDMI signal.
Useful to eliminate problems with CEC/ARC. Female to Male.
are you using supplied zidoo hdmi cable ?
change to certified Quality 4K premium one
failing all that looks like your Zidoo settings are not right or matched to your screen
or your edid is req to see whats going on and best set up options .
I have now received this and it works a treat so far, now more pointing the controller over my head to get it to work, the zidoo is behind my listening position.View attachment 1635511Now Available to Order !

Yes as I said earlier, I have everything working perfectly and love the picture & sound quality with 3D, HD & 4K with or without HDR/DV...I was watching a film last night (LOTR 4K DV mkv) and after roughly 40 minutes the tv screen went black, the same thing happens with any film in any format after around 40 minutes, apart from that it is perfect if you ignore the minor niggle I mentioned which the Lindy CEC adaptor will probably solve.I doubt a lemon ?
Do you actually get a picture at all on any settings ?
connect Zidoo to another display .

It sounds like something else is either going into standby or turning on and confusing the HDMI signal which the CEC on the Zidoo will do because it’s complete crap. I had to get the Lindy for my Z9S otherwise it caused all kinds of carnage with picture, audio and non-responsive controls on other things.Yes as I said earlier, I have everything working perfectly and love the picture & sound quality with 3D, HD & 4K with or without HDR/DV...I was watching a film last night (LOTR 4K DV mkv) and after roughly 40 minutes the tv screen went black, the same thing happens with any film in any format after around 40 minutes, apart from that it is perfect if you ignore the minor niggle I mentioned which the Lindy CEC adaptor will probably solve.

The Z1000 Pro though seems to work absolutely fine without it but I’ve not fully tested it yet to confirm that and if it has issues I’ll know it’s because of that!
Yes I am going to try all of that today, although I have already done most of it. I have also tried it with CEC off on all devices and HDCP is set to off on the Z9X, all of your recommended settings have also been set. I do have another 4K DV TV so will also try it on that as well, lucky that I am retired and have so much free time on my hands
I have purchased a Lindy from the Lindy store on Amazon who can deliver it tomorrow
Hopefully that will solve it for me, Amazon are delivering one to me tomorrow so I will report back the resultsIt sounds like something else is either going into standby or turning on and confusing the HDMI signal which the CEC on the Zidoo will do because it’s complete crap.

I agree, the only time it has ever worked perfectly for me is when just the ATV 4K is connected to my receiver, it would turn everything on and off and control the receiver's volume perfectly, as soon as something else is added things go wrong, which is why I still use my old Harmony 900 with CEC turned off.The cec ( indy adapter) may be the route cause of all his issues ?
best to buy and then report back first .
Be the best thing or he will be pulling his hair out all day
Never use cec as we say work of the devil .
Even with it off Android is known to have issues with CEC where it doesn’t actually turn off so whilst it seems like just a Zidoo issue I think it’s actually a global one that sometimes crops up and sometimes doesn’t so the easiest thing is just to disable it on the HDMI pin itself.Yes I am going to try all of that today, although I have already done most of it.

Thanks, hopefully the Lindy CEC thingy will solve it for me...I think I will pass on trying anything else today and wait for the adaptor, I would be gutted if I wasted a day and then that turned up and solved itEven with it off Android is known to have issues with CEC where it doesn’t actually turn off so whilst it seems like just a Zidoo issue I think it’s actually a global one that sometimes crops up and sometimes doesn’t so the easiest thing is just to disable it on the HDMI pin itself.
I don’t even understand how CEC can make the remote on other devices not work at all but it does!
I’ve also seen when HDCP doesn’t match up the picture itself freezes (happened when I first got my Z1000 and I thought it was dead, was actually just because I’d setup the Lumagen for HDCP 2.2 on a 1080p TV) but you can still hear it’s working in the background or black screens with audio because the receiver can still decode the audio but the screen can’t read the picture.
Honestly HDMI is very temperamental sometimes and doesn’t really give any feedback on what’s upset it when it goes wonky.

Yes I have purchased through the Lindy storeMake sure you pick the adaptor direct from Lindy on Amazon. It's only a little extra. There was some dodgy copies being sold on there which still had all the pins connected.
