Nice!!
Yes, correct. ZDMC that I am using is based on 18.9. I am using it daily.
Yes, I have Kodi 19.1 loaded, it doesn’t activate Zidoo native player.
@MarkSwift already said many times, Zidoo is not going to port Kodi 19. So sad.
@Mirror also avoiding the topic (when I tagged him to my post). Ha ha ha.
I can still hold out hope… ha ha ha.
I have been trying to hack it to work…(playercorefactory.xml)…with no success.
Debug log shows that Kodi cannot activate the player (Gallery3D):

I suspect I need to hack it rooted. But I don’t have a lot of time to poke around inside Z9X software internals.
Looks like we have similar opinions about HT4. Others may find HT4 acceptable.
To me, HT4 CMI. I abandoned it within an hour of using after getting the Z9X. Painful. But I must say, successive iterations of HT4 has shown improvement. For me, HT4 has not reached the functionality where I can abandon Kodi.
On the other hand, I have tried JellyFin app on Z9X, it is actually quite good, and it actually can activate the native Zidoo player!!!, but the keyboard/remote functionality is an issue.
Good luck! I am still on 6.3.22G.
Zidoo didn’t release 6.3.30G for OTA update, so I’ll wait it out for the next OTA update.
IIRC, Netflix has blocked Z9X box.
I am still in the 1080p HD era, so not much I can comment about 4K…
Have some thoughts about minor reno, then upgrade my plasma to 4K OLED – maybe next year.
