Removed a couple of misleading posts (including my own
).
Hibymusic does not work for raw (44.1, 192Khz etc) passthrough. It runs but output is at 48Khz.
After some testing this morning, I think the best music player app for a media box is Poweramp. It looks good on a big screen, has a great interface, navigable using remote, and has no problem scanning to library a saved SMB share on Zidoo boxes. It also only supports 48Khz PCM output on Zidoo though.
Until recently the music side of these boxes was very much a sideshow to video. Hence Zidoo have an excellent and highly developed video browser but a less developed one for music. This is beginning to change, the recent music player 5.0 fixed most of the issues on the music playback side and made some improvement to the music interface. These improvements will continue, Zidoo now realise how important music is for new customers attracted to the HD-Audio side of their products.
