apk (32 bit) directly from the play store if you have to and run both in parallel. Why can't I uninstall their player from the app menu (presumably)?Īndroid has user installed apps and system apps, system apps cant be uninstalled by the user, unless you are root and delete the. Their player software probably is optimiced for the SOC, so can get a little better performance out of the X9S, and it allows them to implement their auto framerate switching (the may have fixed it for Kodis internal player in ZDMC 17, or not - I'm not sure), which is a good thing. in front of the zdmc in its name), so you need a fileexplorer that can show you hidden files (most of them have it as an option)) - I don't know how the app is called they use for playback - but you'll find it in there (and thereby learn, how to setup other external players with ZDMC/Kodi (MXPlayer is always a good alternative to have). You can look up what player (apk) they use in the playercore.xml file ( ) in ZDMC (the file is situated in /sdcard/Android//.zdmc/userdata/ - the. ) and switches the playback software to another player (apk) for most of it file formats. ZDMC is a Kodi clone/fork that takes the Kodi frontend (menu, navigation, plugin plattform, databases. How does ZDMC work, and what does it use to playback files. So please, dont be so stupid, and look at whats causing Kodi to stop and buffer instead of trying the "I've hit it with a hammer, and uninstalled." method. And the funny thing is, that it took them hours to set up Kodi with only a remote. Also they had no idea how to prune Kodis databases, or delete those cache files - because they grew up on smartphones where "have you tried uninstalling" is the prefered tip they would circulate on reddit. I can't stress this enough, because we went through a "phase" we generally dont talk about, where I saw hundreds and I mean literally hundreds of "smartphone users" recommending to each other to increase Kodi cache size, FOR NO REASON (even I run with default cache settings), ruining their Fire TV Stick Kodi setup in the process, because that thing has very limited storage, and once it only hase about 600MB left, it gets unstable. That is - while a video is playing in KODI not in ZDMC (explaination soon to follow). All of it.įor people that don't have a keyboard to attach, simply editing Kodis keyboard.xml adding those linesĪllows you to bring up said information overlay by pressing the menu button on your remote, while a video is playing in Kodi. So by looking at just that, it potentially prevents you from doing all the troubleshooting on the Android Box (X9S), in the dark. So what I'd expect in this case is the cache running out at some point (even though its set to 300MB), due to the NAS/smb server, or the harddrives going to sleep, for example. It has changed in newer Kodi versions, and I dont know off the top of my head, if all the information is present in a v17 build, but if you go back to Isengard, its all there. Kodi will provide you with an information overlay, that shows you: I can't tell you how much better the "scene" was back in Xbox v1 XBMC days.įirst - streaming trouble shooting with Kodi.ĭo yourself a favor and press the o button (Keyboard) on a video, when playing a video file. Hah, people trying to troubleshoot issues in an environment, that never learned Kodi, but uses it all the time. Otherwise I’m very pleased with the player, it replaced my old popcorn A-200. What else can I do to eliminate this movie stopping (caching problem). I tried to pressed a pause so that a player could ‘buffer’ or cache a movie data, but there is no ‘caching’ even if I left on pause for a few minutes. When there is difference between two bars then there is no stopping, but when the difference is minimal the stopping is noticeable. I noticed on some movies that time status bar has another bar that is lighter colour and it is advanced from the movie time bar (I hope I have written in a way that is understandable). I have a Gbit network so the LAN could not be a problem. I have a cache set (advance setting) on ZDMC (buffermode-1, readbufferfactor-4 and cachemembuffersize-300M), but still getting short stopping. When watching movies from a NAS over network I occasionally get short stopping of the movies. I own a X9S android box and original ZDMC player (version 16). Could someone help me to set up the ZDMC player correctly.
