Support automaticly frame switch

The quad core Cortex A53 CPU combined with the new Mali T820 MP3 GPU (up to 4 sharder cores, 40% improvement from Mali-T622) will offer enough processing power for 4KP60 and H.265/VP9.
Gigabit Ethernet, SATA and USB 3.0 are all useful when playing files with higher bitrates (H.265/4k2k are to be even more popular in 2016).
While there’s no mention about HD audio on the current specs sheet, we do saw that Widevine, Playready, Verimatrix will be supported.
Realtek RTD1295 will find it’s why not only on TV boxes but also on OpenWRT routers and next generation NAS devices.
That makes sense, as NAS devices evolved as well to become full-fledget media centers and might benefit from Realtek 1295A’s video encoding and decoding power.
Don’t be surprised if you will see Western Digital, Buffalo or Qnap NAS devices powered by Realtek RTD1295 one year from now.

A bit late in the day, but has anyone managed to install TWRP on the Zidoo X9S

Mukhranski said:

No.

Not yet

I managed to get a custom kernel compiled and OpenSUSE running on my Zidoo x8, which uses the same chipset as the x9s. It's based on the Banana Pi W2 kernel:
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-W2-bsp
There's still tons of issues with it...but thinking they're mostly related to the device tree (the Banana Pi's differs quite a bit from the one included with the Zidoo firmware.)
And just a note, I'm a complete n00b when it comes to kernel development/debugging, so it may take a while to track down. Once I figure out how to get the kernel and initrd correctly flashed without using serial, I'll post images and the updated kernel source. It'll be slow going though...doing most of this during my very limited free time.
If anyone is able to help out on the kernel/dts side, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Update Zoomtak T8V Amlogic S905
Looking Good
So after having a good fiddle with the Zoomtak T8V Amlogic s905.
It's a good worker showing no signs of fuss or bother no matter what I throw at it.
Let's have a look at what's going on in the inside of this Media Player please note the extra cooling that is not there,
This unit had no heatsink Nothing and runs very well CPU is warm to Hot to touch but does not appear to suffer, some magic trickery, or good software unsure still testing.
The Scores above (for what they are worth) point to a a CPU that is clocked enough to do a job without melting or causing grief.
The Price as you will find is way up there, not 100% if its fully justified,
In saying that paying for what you get performance wise may seem true.
As flash As the LCD may look only the time Shows
Not a Huge deal and most would not go this far and pull it down,
Nice to see brass push in threaded nuts none of this Self tapper screws into plastic posts
Remote with many functions, I normally I use the Logitech K400

More on the Zoomtak TV8
The Zoomtak T8V is using a Fancy Mbox interface that looks Good and a little different
The Remote fairly easy to use from some distance so that is also a bonus.
Start up easy, asks for Language then screen adjust with remote for size, Internet settings and done
Few Snaps of what's running in the Zoomtak T8V Media player.
Interesting me about the Zoomtak TV8 was the lack of a Heat sink. Note the temperature of the box was pretty (top centre of images) Mild except with the Stress Test and then it was in the 70c and that's ok sorta.
Some Media players I have seen go over 100c plus and idle is in the 50c plus, so there is something a little different and using the IR Thermometer ( 10~15c cooler) are also low so this is one cool device.
I often think how accurate the software temperature indication is, Normally if its HOT its Hot this software maybe over exaggerated a little I feel..
Excellent Media Player and performing very well.
