ZIDOO 8K FIRMWARE UPDATE 1.3.45 [22-SEP-2026]

Zidoo have released another new firmware for their 8K series of players: UHD8000, Z3000 Pro, Z30 Pro and Z9X 8K. This update contains further bug fixes and one new feature, director and cast cross referencing for NFO scraped libraries.

Version 1.3.45, 22-SEP-2026.

The update is being rolled out OTA (over the air) so 8K players will automatically receive an on-screen notification prompting to update. You will need 'Beta Version' enabled in the update app (all Zidoo firmwares are released as 'beta', they are thoroughly tested and would be called final & stable for other products).
