Zidoo Z3000 Pro 8K | BEST PLAYER for Home Media Server in 2024?

[@DjEloy]

Great to see that Zidoo keeps making new versions of the Z pro players and improving with each iteration. I’m still very happy with my Z1000 Pro. It does all i need and never fails.

[@lezc3733]

You guys gave the Dune a glowing review, but in my experience its user interface and metadata scraping is absolutely dire compared with my Zidoo and it has already lost access to Netflix.

[@dragonmandragonman]

I have that same player sitting under my TV right now and it doesn't rock on a flat surface, yours must be a one-off. I got it for the ISO playback, but I will say that it's hit and miss on if it's going to play the iso...some play flawlessly, some don't load. These are iso on a local drive inserted into the bay. Iso plays fine in VLC. I'm going to stick with just ripping them to mkv, I know they will play everytime that way, and I prefer local trailers anyways.

[@SealedOrPorted]

Initially, the hype was high on ISO playback. Disappointing the reality does not match the hype.

[@JohnSmith-qi6co]

I know you know this but for others, please test your iso by burning a physical disc and then play that disc on the cheapest, junkiest player you can find. Using a crap player is a good test. The $1000 player in the back seat of your Lexus SUV might decode anyting, including bad discs. Best test is a $30 Walmart player meant for original discs.

Not at all worth it. The Ugoos AM6B+ with CoreELEC installed is a much better player. It's pretty much the only way to get native Dolby Vision Profile 7 playback from ripped 4K bluray discs. The Ugoos AM6B+ is also much cheaper than the Zidoo

[@meridiusuk8567]

This is correct. Also has 3D support. There is no other media box that can touch this. If you want full HDR ripped support

[@kevinoconnor6570]

Is there an updated device? This one looks to have been released in 2021.

[@InsaiyanTech]

is there any updated devices of the one your talking about by anychance

[@rickgear2579]

@@kevinoconnor6570 Nope. The AM6b+ is the only model that can play DV7.

[@rickgear2579]

@@InsaiyanTech Nope. The AM6b+ is the only model that can play DV7. I researched it for a long while.

Is there audio manual synch on this one ?

haha glad someone caught it! Thanks for watching as always Matt!

Hello, did you test the A.I. enhancer?

[@carlos150189]

No me gusto como deja la imagen

[@ProudPapaKY]

So for someone like me who has no idea how to do this. Would all I need to make a 4k media library is this player, 16tb storage, a flashed pioneer drive, laptop and makemkv? What else will I need?

[@carlos150189]

Dinero jeje . Si tienes ya las películas en buena calidad audio y vídeo ya estaría ya q usarías la bahía como almacenamiento. Te tocaría tocar ajustes y depende también el televisor q tengas

[@kkmattox]

Is this better than the R_volution PlayerOne 8K?

[@TwoGuyzTech]

Hi, unfortunately we haven't had a chance to check out the R_volution but it looks like they use the same chipset, so they should have similar video and audio quality. I would guess the differences will be the software processing and the UI. Hope this helps!

[@kkmattox]

@@TwoGuyzTech thanks for the reply back! You guys make great videos

[@carlos150189]

I currently have the eversolo A8 and my intention is to buy the UHD3000 pro. Do you see the possibility of bridging my eversolo to the zidoo and thus using the DAC and the eversolo stream apps and bridging with zidoo and avoiding buying the UHD8000 Do you know if it can be done? or should I buy the uhd8000. And does anyone know if I can put a hard drive larger than 16TB? Has anyone tried trying to put in a 20TB one? or 22tb? thank you

[@mattgibson6144]

Stopped the video at the mention of 3D being unsupported. A player that isn't fully functional when it's only job is to play media, is not worth spending a dollar on.

[@elysiumcore]

who is still watching 3D movies in 2024 - they failed

[@Airwolf2030]

Max hdd capacity support of 16TB, Seems like a hardware and/or software limitation, Dune HD Solo 8K supports 3D and has a max hdd capacity support of 20TB

[@mattgibson6144]

@@elysiumcore Moronic statement that has nothing to do with the facts. If you only watch or listen to content made in the current year it says nothing about anything but you. You have the right to do you, but thinking everyone else must think the same is a very MAGA point of view.

I gotta get one

Good to hear from you Brad, hope you've been well!! thanks for watching!

[@jimers-h1o]

can this device work with Kodi and Playback Dolby Vision within Kodi?

[@carlos150189]

Si funciona ambas cosas

[@mfkhometheater7742]

I was hoping you would say these or the Dune would be better at identifying movies, at least better than Plex. Plex gets a lot of them wrong and it can be almost impossible to force it to accept the corrected data to fix it. Hopefully these will at least be easier to fix. Thanks, mfk

[@KASmonkeys]

no 3D no way! lol

[@fun-ghi]

"BEST PLAYER for Home Media Server in 2024?" Why not the UHD 8000? 2 drive bays vs. 1 🙂

[@carlos150189]

Creo yo porque no compensa pagar casi el doble por un dac , una bahía y 1 fuente más… si eres un audifolo (tampoco lo recomiendo…pero son las personas que podrían sacar partido) para cine este

[@neo6289]

reviews are pretty bad tbh

All IN ONE PLAYER
