Great Job Scott, You nailed this video. It is good to see the effort you put in to review and evaluate this product to a point were you are noticing bugs that development needs to look into and resolve. I noticed on my new Zappiti Neo how slow the UI is compared to the Zidoo Z10-Pro as well as Plex. I still have my plex server running because it services the rest of the house and friends that want to watch a movie remotely. Right now I am fixing metadata identification issues on some movies and trying to get a keyboard/mouse to work with this unit. As far as PQ/SQ and the picture wall the Zidoo does not come close so I returned it. Keep up the good work. PM
It is not some movies, that the info menu is different. It is with all movies if you try to play them in full BD Menu mode. It is exactly the same behaviour on Dune HD player.
Hi I appreciate you sharing things about the Zappiti and I have been working on my Zappiti one 4k and I'm having a hard time figuring out the Zappiti Share to get it in other parts in your home? Can someone demonstrate a video on this?
Excellent video, thank you. What about the files and storage of the MKV Movies to include Dolby Vision? Do you need special folder or another format of the movie? Which folder organization do you use on the local hard drives? Thanks!!
Hey Scott, have you thought about how to backup your Zappiti drive info just in case the drive in the zappiti dies? I am thinking about getting a separate drive or NAS to backup/copy all movies to as a cold storage. Your Thoughts
I'm curious....you mentioned that you used to use Plex prior to switching to Zappiti....what were your factors? I'm considering the same since the Plex dev's basically ignore feature suggestions that Plex actually needs or users have requested for literally YEARS. Only thing that I don't prefer with Zappiti is how it handles TV show episodes. Would be alot easier to scroll through episodes and see synopsis rather that drill down into an episode.
Reason I moved from Plex to Zappiti: 1) Wanted access to full BD menus, 2) Needed ability to shift subtitles up to the picture, 3) GUI in 2:35.1 mode is a big plus for me as I have a CinemaScope projection screen, 4) On board storage eliminates the need for a reliable home network. I also liked the idea of the server being in the Cloud, but Zappiti was too slow for that for now. FYI - You can scroll through the episodes of a season on the Zappiti.
Curious if you've tried to use the offline mode to see if the meta data is saved locally to the device. From what I read on the website it seemed like that was a solution, but I was wondering if some features may not be available when offline. If I purchase the Zappiti I would like to be able to take the device offline when we travel to visit family who don't have access to home internet.
@@stevehumphries4687 Sounds good, I was never satisfied with the quality of transcoded VC-1 content, but otherwise it would noticeably stutter. Might be a reason to get a Zappiti Neo. :D
I just noticed when i tried to play back Avatar 3d iso file and select Yes to play with menu and I got an error stating blue ray firmware updated needed to play this disk. The file would not paly and there was blue ray error code 001 on the bottom of the screen. Is that was what you were trying to point out? Thanks PM

Thankyou for taking the time to make this.
This is surprisingly slower then a Zidoo Z9X and about the same speed as the previous generation Zappiti.
Thanks for this video. On my Zappiti Audiocom, ABC buttons are for region changing on standard Blu-rays.

Good to know. Thanks. As I've mentioned, I don't have any previous experience with these media players and I have watched much content on this yet.
Hi have more than 2100 movies plus 311 series. All dvd bluray uhd and mkv with dolby vision support. Work all fine
Does the file explorer section have a shuffle/auto play feature for the movies?

Appreciate the video. Do you mind me asking what projector you’re using? Thanks

Your Thoughts
thx for the video. Around 16:08 you said you were updating the TMDb for a show. How do you do that exactly?
Create an account and make edits. It's a community based database.,
@@KCWolfPck thx. I had no clue.
Why using .iso instead of .mkv ?

@@KCWolfPck can you demonstrate how to share your content from the Zappiti share to other devices in your home

While offline mode is certainly an option, there are many features you are missing when in offline mode.
How in the world do we get one of these in the US?
Are there still playback stuttering issues for media encoded in VC-1? (Still not fixed for the previous Zappiti generation ... )
Supposed to now play fine without stuttering.

No. The Avatar 3D Blu-ray played just fine for me. I didn't get an error.
Does the reference send out hdr metadata?
what hdds are you using
