I just received my x8.
My setup is a Panasonic plasma TV and an onkyo receiver via spdif.
Everything I tested seems to work fine except these.
1. Audio always goes to the TV and the receiver at the same time (There's no way to disable hdmi audio). SPDIF Passthrough for DTS doesn't work in external player. HD Audio is not downscaled to only the core part and then bitstreamed to my receiver. This means I only get stereo sound for everything except Dolby Digital 5.1.
2. ATSC live tv 1080i doesn't work with TVHeadend in zdmc. (I think the deinterlacer is using too much CPU instead of using the Hardware)
If somebody knows how to fix those issues or if there are fixes incoming, I would gladly take those. If not, I think I will return the box to amazon in 2 weeks and buy a kaby lake cpu instead.

Not sure what to say, not dismissing your SMB issues, but I'm not having any problems between my X9S and Synology 1812+ w/a router and gigabit switch in between.

I did further testing with NFS and my WDMyCloud.
-Mounting as NFS in ZDMC and accessing the NAS SUCCEEDS. I can play all my movies without any issues
-Mounting as NFS in VLC and accessing the NAS SUCCEEDS. I can access all my movies and files.
-Going through Media Center->NFS->IP of my NAS->Accessing top folded named "Public"->Trying to access any folder inside "Public" (I have 3) FAILS and x9s reboots
-Going through Apps->File Explorer->NFS->IP of my NAS->Accessing top folded named "Public"->Trying to access any folder inside "Public" (I have 3) FAILS and x9s reboots
When I try to access the NAS with SAMBA in Media Center or File Explorer, it works and doesn't restart. Not sure what else to try but there's something wrong here.

Hello,
When i turn off the X8, the box restarts after a certain period of time
In fact the box is always ON, fortunately it does not heat.
hdmkv had the same problem with the X9S

Found an is with HDR playback, the Zidoo X8 is suffering the same HDR bug on the Xiaomi Mi Box, once the start playing HDR content and HDR signal is activated the HDR signal doesn't turn off if you stop playing,the only fix I found is to switch the input on my TV to turn the HDR signal off.
Also when playing 3D content it will be nice if playback starts instead browsing through the SIMPLE MENU and selecting PLAY 3D, this an issue because some complete ISO contains a lot of PLAYLIST example: Gods of Egypt 3D and not everyone rip their BD main movie only.
