@irave - I don't think there's anything that can do everything in one box and also be the best quality. Zidoo cannot play bluray discs directly. You can use computer software to rip blurays into an .ISO file or some sort of movie file, then store it on the Zidoo for playback, but this is a complicated and time consuming hassle. It's just much better to have an actual bluray player for playing physical disks. Then use your media player for streaming and everything else (unless you also have a satellite receiver).
The Plex media server is available as Android software on google play, so you can load this onto the Zidoo as well if you want. There is literally a ton of different apps available on googleplay. Zidoo runs on Android OS, so anything Android is compatible.
@lalitk - I have the Amazon FireCube. Actually, it is not too bad for audio and video quality. Audio quality is not the best, however. I have done a side-by-side comparison between stock Firecube and a Tivo unit with a Teradak linear power supply - for streaming Netflix. The Tivo with linear power supply just beat the crap out of FireTV for Netflix streaming in both audio and video quality. FireTV audio was bright/thin and a bit harsh in comparison. This is feeding both audio and video through HDMI to a receiver. There's no substitute for linear power supply and good digital circuits. They say AppleTV has somewhat better audio than Amazon FireTV. You can always upgrade to a linear power supply for your AppleTV.
Zidoo, Zappiti and Dune all make high end media player units. Their top of the line models all have linear power supplies. If you don't need analog audio outputs, it seems the Zapiiti Pro 4K only has digital outputs (HDMI, coax, toslink). You guys can always buy one of the lower models and then add a Teradak or SBooster linear power supply for a big improvement, but it's much easier to have the linear power supply built into the same unit, lol.
