![]() However, it seems Anynet+ is a slightly modified version of CEC and posts on Zidoo’s forums suggest they’re working on compatibility. The Zidoo X1 is said to support HDMI CEC and my Samsung TV did pick it up as an Anynet+ device but refused to connect. There’s a really handy feature to be able to set apps to boot on launch, perfect for booting straight into Kodi rather than ZIUI. It’s locked at 720p like the Tronsmart Draco H3, but videos play at their native resolution. This isn’t surprising however, given Zidoo’s impressive efforts on the Zidoo X9. The custom launcher, ZIUI, looks fantastic and animates well. The device was rooted once I updated the firmware. The X1’s preloaded with Android 4.4 and a custom Kodi fork call ZDMC, but more on that later. Boot times are average at around 49 seconds. The device resumes instantly from standby so it’s not a big issue but worth mentioning nevertheless. The Zidoo X1 automatically powers up when plugging it in. There are also 3 customisable shortcut keys whose functions can be set in the UI and the top set of buttons can learn your TV remote’s IR signals. It features a solid set of Android buttons (including a task switcher). Getting out the Ethernet cable is a nightmare thanks to a lack of space and the case’s lip. Thankfully, this isn’t something most people will need to do often. It can get a little cramped behind there. From left to right, we’ve got the composite video port, USB 2.0 port, Ethernet, another USB port, microSD card slot and DC power input. The actual unit is pretty compact, at just 12.6×11.8×3.6cm so you’ll have no problem finding a space for it.Īll the ports are hidden around the back of the unit. Kudos to Zidoo for investing in their design rather than the standard black square/rectangle we so often see. ![]() It reminds me of an insect shell from the future.
