I'm waiting on the application to be available across the other players I already own a zidoo and dune. I hope they are successful with their rebrand in the hardware business though.
Hi Hatoraid Cowboy thanks for the video I’ve got a neo and waiting for the app heard it’s $50 yearly or 5$-6 monthly. Got a question for you since you have the new player are you able to customize your your top banner of your cover for your movies like on the old app in to have a 4K UHD Dolby Vison as a banner and was curious if that’s feature is available on the new app?
I have the zapitti and now the Zidoo, I noticed that the Zidoo sometimes fails to see my server info causing me to log back into the server and re scan.
@@SUPERDELLTV thanks, I have the Synology 1515+. Been working loading movies and getting it connected. I may need to upgrade to the newer Synology version
What I find terrible is that Zappiti DIDN'T bite the dust... They just closed the doors on responsiblity for their existing products and launched a new line.. Kind of like a person declairing bankrupcy, changing your name and trying to start a new life@@hatoraidcowboy
Good Video thanks. Does it still play the music to the folder, you didn't indicate that. Funny, the interface looks a lot like Ziddo interface. Hopefully that wont be an issue in the future.
Good video. The most glaring thing that stands out about this player is it being a rebranded Zappiti Neo. Not faulting that, but for whatever the subscription for the new OS being offered soon to those of us being Zappiti owners will be, it still is going to be a fraction of what this new player costs. And it will as functional, fast, and pleasing as you and other reviewers find it on this player. It will upgrade Zappiti and Dune players immediately, and later Zidoo models. More over, we whom subcribe will be entitled to install an use the new app on all players we own.
Yes it is but not for free : 6 € per month or 50 € for one year for Zappiti owner (models supported) : Zappiti Mini 4K HDR Zappiti One 4K HDR Zappiti One SE 4K HDR Zappiti Duo 4K HDR Zappiti Pro 4K HDR Zappiti Pro 4K HDR Audiocom Zappiti Neo Zappiti Reference Zappiti Signature
Definitely interested in comparison with Zidoo software and info on installing the Player One UI software on a Z9X Pro. Read the UI sub will be 50/yr. Curious whether metadata and title art will also be downloaded on to Z9X pro hard drive, making it snappy like the Player One. Both have 32GB internal storage per online specs.
Hello Mr. Cowboy. I have a Zappiti NAS. I just got a R_volution Playerone. My NAS has 8 12TB HDDs. Regarding the HDD slot on the Playerone, what size can I put in it? 12? 14???? Thank you for your time and consideration regarding my question.
Thank you and Yes! I was just using it with my Elite. It uses the exact same codes as the Zappiti Neo and the Zidoo players. I had to disconnect power to my Zidoo because it was sending the same codes.
My biggest concern is how it handles different versions of the same movie. Like LOTR extended vs theatrical, and in that case, multiple ISOs for disc 1 and disc 2. Zidoo has that covered well and gives you one poster, and you select which ISO you want with labels created in the file name. Hopefully this isn't going to just pop up duplicate posters with no way to know which is which. Have the answer?
It would be nice if it could just boot to the poster wall and eliminate the menu options that aren't relevant 95% of the time. Same complaint here for Zidoo.
Not yet. I’ll have to do a deep dive on it after I put it through its paces. Obviously I wont be able to cover every minute thing in the review video but I’ll try to cover the main points. Everything else I’ll try to address in the comments
@hatoraidcowboy Understandable. I saw it showed multiples of Gemini Man on yours, and Youthman's video also showed multiples. That concerns me as I've already ordered one of these and will hate that. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks this early. A couple movies I have MKVs and also ISO, so it might just show two where Zidoo makes that very clean. Same if you have 4K and 1080 Bluray separate copies. It's rare, but sometimes there are reasons to have both.
@janthonywj Yea on Gemini one was an iso and one was mkv rip. I agree the Zidoo does a better job at grouping and giving you the option to select between the different rips. The player one may also have the option but idk. May have to dig around in the settings
You’d have to be a mug to buy this given that they charged $2k plus for Zappiti players and shut down the company without even telling customers. New company, same cowboys.
Nice video So currently I use a nvidia shield with external drive. I network drop movies from my pc to it I use Emby to share all my movies etc Is this a worthy upgrade ? I like how it plays iso files Can I also add my Iptv apps and. No video shows online how to network drop movies to the internal drive bays. This new company looks very good offer a lot of products I am Tempted but I would need to replace the shield as ran out of hdmi ports on my Samsung lol
Great to see Movie poster art becoming snappier with faster load times, i do hope the new app & interface for the older Zappiti will also make it snappier with quicker load times, meaning hopefully its software related & not hardware. Fingers crossed 🤞 Offline mode will hopefully be improved significantly with new App update. Time will tell i guess. Cheers for the upload 👍 🍻
Nice overview. I don’t own either the Zapitti or R_Volution but I am an interested fan of both (have been using Nvidia Shield happily for years). One thing I didn’t notice with the R_Volution that the Zapitti had is a frames-per-second indicator once the movie is selected. Perhaps that’s an option that needs to be selected on the R_Volution?
I own the Zappiti Neo and now a Zidoo. The Zidoo is the better player. This player is just a revised version of the Zappiti and the software we should have gotten in the first place. Bonus the Zidoo cost less.
"Looked outdated" this looks exactly the same except colors and icons used. Wow! what an update. The skins with Zappiti were additional purchases. I assume the same here. Interface looks slow. Zidoo is snappier and I have over 3000 titles with mine. And for all you Zappiti owners that paid the premium for the player now get the privilege of paying a subscription fee to continue using your product. Yea! Zappiti Neo owner here and I got the Zido with all this mess going on. The Zidoo is the better player.
HELP HELP HELP!!!! U mentioned that u put a SATA drive in the drive bay on the player. I put my sata drive in the bay that has movies on it. I did exactly what u did on your video. I have my movies in a subfolder titled movies, but the name of my drive doesn’t pop up. The drive works, I connected it with a usb cable w a sabrient external drive tray. Any ideas. Would love some help w this. Thank you
Just really need the UI to get a bit better on these for the price. Looks much snappier than Zappiti but still needs some software work. Just kinda wish all of these players would try just a BIT harder to look closer to the Kscape UI. Infuse on Apple TV gets the closest and it's what I use for current playback but no Dolby Vision or Atmos sucks for when my system gets a little better.
The software has been changed a bit... It looks a little basic, but I will bet that this will have a software update in the near future to make things look a little more tidy and modern.
IMO That is a big problem when you have products like Zidoo that are competing and charging 1/3rd the price. I was hoping this would be a superior product for the superior price. It has to offer something.
I have a Zapitti 4K HDR. The company goes bust, and then all of a sudden it would appear the same mob want you to subscribe to a service you once had! The new software's absolutely shite on a Zappiti as despite using the PC app to organise my library I find that I have to click on EVERY title to get the artwork. And this is only the main screen artwork. If you want the artwork that goes with the banner you have to click on every title, and then click again. Truly awful, and a total rip off. Think I'll stick with Zappiti Explorer to choose a film to watch.
Isn't this made by Zappiti? I'm out a thousand bucks because Zappiti closed it's doors but I have read that this new revolution player is made by the same Zappiti people. Can anybody confirm?
Who’s buying the new Player One from R_Volution? Are you waiting for the Zappiti app?
I need a price and location for purchase 😊
I'm waiting on the application to be available across the other players I already own a zidoo and dune. I hope they are successful with their rebrand in the hardware business though.
@pein3480 Which Zidoo you got? Same I’d love to see how the app will be implemented on my Zidoo players.
@hatoraidcowboy I have the Zidoo Z9X Pro I had some issues which I outlined in some content but overall it's a cool device.

That is scary! That is a re-branded Zappiti! From the remote, antena's, metal hard drive door & layout both front and back, they are EXACTLY the same!

No problem. And thank you!
is the RVideo app already available for zappiti owners to use?

Hello, between R_VOLUTION PLAYER ONE and the zidoo z2600, which one is better? Which of the two has better sound and image?
Overall they are pretty much the same…I think the Zidoo is better overall and is snappier. Audio & video is about equal
Agree @@hatoraidcowboy
Man, that look on your face during the intro says it all. lol 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
Very good review. I invite you to explore the advanced options such as the special top movie covers located in the Edit Panel of R_video.
is there a slot for m.2 drive ?
I dont think so
Wondering if the final picture and sound quality is better than a comparable Zidoo UHD5000?
They look pretty much the same. Can’t really tell a difference.
@@hatoraidcowboy Thanks.
@Leo-tf7gu Of course
How to rip 4K disks and store them directly on the internal (16 TB) hard disk? Can you use your blu ray player and connect it to the E-volition?
No. This would violate the same laws that got them in trouble with Zappiti.
@@hatoraidcowboythen what is the solution/option?
You gotta use a computer with a disc drive
Do you have problems with the movie tags in the player? My HDR movies labeled as SDR movies. How did you rename your files?
Let me check it out and get back to you
WHATS THE CAPASITY OF THE EXTERNAL HD VIA USB CONNECTION?
Not sure, I’ll try to find out.
20 TB hard drive is the max capacity.
For External? Dang. That’s more than the internal. If that’s true it’ll require power so it’ll be another power cable you’ll have to plug up.
internal 3.5'' SATA hard drives up to 16 TB (18 and 20 TB are supported only on Zappiti Explorer).
@@David25522 thanks
Would it show the aspect ratio? nice to know before starting a movie to set aspect on JVC Projector.
I dont think it shows aspect ratio
Hi thanks for the speedy reply, my Zappiti Reference dose and also you could add manualy.
I’ll have to check
Any idea if these new players are good at Blu-ray iso menu playback?
Yup they’ll do that
