As I’m on the home theater building journey I started my collection of UHD 4k Blu Ray and looking to getttge Panasonic UDP-820 (eventually) NOW though…hesitating as it seems physical media is disappearing!!! What’s the play here? I don’t mind spending my money…BUT I don’t want to waste it either. 🧐
DUNE-HD. I have the Pro Vision 4K Solo and their Homatics Box R 4K android TV box. I've been happy with both on my primary home theater. I still run Chromecasts w/ Google TV on all of my other TVs. The Dunes had the best compatibility across the board with licensed streaming services and supported local codecs.
Logitech remotes gone, Zappiti gone. What's next? Kscape going under? I own a Logitech remote, but luckily I am far too poor to have bought into the expensive crap.
I see Zidoo has a new Z2600 that is similar to my Zappiti NEO with the same outputs on the back but it is not listed on Amazon. Another thought is I wonder if they (Zappiti) were being sued by KScape producers for copyright issues. I hope Zidoo and Dune are not next to go down in flames. Your Thoughts.
i think they were sued but not by Kscape...I think it was a copyright issue w Studios. this has been going on for a while....looks like they lost all appeals to stay in operation.
I recently downgraded my 2017 Shield and 2019 Shield Pro to 8.2.3 and it is so much faster, like it used to be. I disabled auto-updates and told me to notify me instead of auto-downloading the update. Then I disabled notifications for the system upgrade app. Installed Projectivity Launcher and now I don't see the ads for videos I don't care about.
I don't think we will see another Shield TV. Not enough profit. They've already axed local game streaming on the Shield which was better than anything else out there. Why? No revenue. I hope someone comes out with a way to easily stream locally but also without ruining the apps (Most do with Android) and allow all the sound passthrough if necessary. Even if the software doesn't recognize the sound codec used, then just pass it through. I don't see why this is so hard to do.
Selling affordable hardware/software is impossible without volume and these products serve such a small market.

Zappiti Europe is still working with the Zappiti video app.
Go a buy Kaleidescape? What if you’re not in the USA ?

My shield is the same way. It’s unusable. Shuts down over and over.

Dune hd made the zappiti boxes zappiti only rebranded it
And using another library videoplayer app with a movie database, like kodi or something else would that be a option?
Yo JOE and MR CHANNA D😊😊

Zidoo time
Plex with an Nvidia Shield and call it a day
I own a Dune hd ultra vision 4k and maybe content creators will use these devices.
Horrible audio, someone is either chewing with open mic and its coming through, or something else is wrong.
Stopped watching due to that.
Erin was walking to keep is back from hurting. Too bad for you, you missed out.
