In case it’s the first time you want to install McBluna.net modded Home Theater APK, you’ve to uninstall Zidoo’s Home Theater first. For RTD1296 based Zidoo player, please read the guide “How to uninstall a system application” first.
Copy the downloaded APK to Zidoo’s Download folder or a USB stick. Open Media Center and select the APK to install.
For any reason, the permissions are not set for my modded APKs. Please keep in mind that you’ve to repeat this procedure each time you delete the application data or press the CLEAR button on the Settings/Library page in Home Theater.
I recommend assigning the System Settings to one of the colored buttons on your remote control for quick access.
Go to System ➛ Settings ➛ Apps
That’s quite interessting. The users of the new devices (RTD 1619DR) say in the Zidoo-forum that the online (Youtube) trailers work again. This is not the case on my Z9S. I have already cleared the HT cache and quit HT and restarted the Z9S. It keeps coming “The trailer could not be played”. Tested with 5 different movies. Disappointing.
Hello McBluna
In the changelog for this version it says
“13. New Web interface and system for Poster Wall”
After installing, I still have the same Web Interface as in previous versions of HT.
I have Zidoo X20. Do you think it only works with new firmware? should it – after installing HT.
I also noticed the missing new webinterface and the not working youtube trailers. Are you sure you are offering the right version (.50) here?
The web interface is part of Zidoo Control Center App and not Home Theater. Maybe parts of the trailer playback rely on system libraries.
Hello McBluna
Do you think it is possible to recompile Zidoo Control Center from the latest Zidoo x20 Firmware with new WebGUI files?
I don’t think there’s much to hope for the x20 update.
Hey Zwanzig,
I’ve extracted the poster.zip from zidoo_control_1.9.1.apk and I’ve created a modded version.
Rename folder poster in .zhttpservice to poster_old and extract poster.zip into .zhttpservice
In case everything works, you don’t need to replace Zidoo Control. If not, replace the app with the modded version.
😄 🤗
OK starts after replacing files from poster.zip
The new GUI is definitely better.

Hello,
is it possible to install only the Home Theatre 4.0 app .apk on a Zappiti with Realtek RTD1295?
I also have a Z9X Pro, but would like to continue using the Zappiti One 4K HDR with the Home Theatre 4.0 app.
The Home Theater app depends on system libraries and the video player app so I don’t think it will work on Zappiti.
