    Premier only features moving to Encore line?

    Interesting addition to this. We are selling our home and naturally I have the theater playing when we do showings. Encore line doesn't even support a repeat feature for a movie, which in this case would be real useful when we have multiple home showings back to back or an open house. I ended...

    Full Kaleidescape Streaming App for Apple TV

    Haha same here on the Star Wars front. I don't actually mind paying to get a higher quality version. One of the great things with disc to digital and K's digital offers. I haven't seen this on K yet but I've seen some UHD upgrade prices on VUDU as high as $30 for movies I already own in 1080p...

    Full Kaleidescape Streaming App for Apple TV

    I see, that would potentially be cool and perhaps a nice second home option too. Also perhaps could eliminate me needing to use other apps when traveling to access my UV library. Keep the user in the K ecosystem so to speak. Also when I say studio issues I refer to the lack of UV/DMA support...

    Full Kaleidescape Streaming App for Apple TV

    I'm not sure if it would help sell systems. If you can get the experience with a $99 roku then the only benefit is quality. Gets to be a harder sell at the price differential. To me a kscape experience that is around $2000 cost of entry but with the ability for end users to add storage at a...

    How to make Kscape bigger and more mainstream?

    I don't what they offer for UHD as I don't own a movie to test with. They do allow it for 1080p frankly if I could add my own storage for 1080p movies and have to use built in for 4K that would at least be something. Anticipating the rebuttals to that ahead of time that it would be too confusing...

    How to make Kscape bigger and more mainstream?

    I'm not comparing the cost of a K system to the cost of a hard drive, just the cost of adding what I need, which is only more storage, to the cost of what is I'm forced to buy from K today in that scenario. In terms of the comment on Uber, not sure I'd agree. What happens if K disappears...

    Play a particular movie??

    How did you go about getting a list of movie handles. I haven't yet found a super elegant way to do this in real time.

    Full Kaleidescape Streaming App for Apple TV

    I agree as bandwidth keeps creeping up the storage costs for K get harder and harder to swallow for the video/audio quality benefits which are absolutely there and noticeable to those that care. One question I start to wonder is what % of k customers a focused on the highest quality experience...

    How to make Kscape bigger and more mainstream?

    Great points definitely some good ones to think about. On the point of expecting support for third party drives, etc. yes, there should be some level of support but not beyond basic troubleshooting for a drive that is validated against their spec. We are talking hard drives via well established...

    How to make Kscape bigger and more mainstream?

    So a couple thoughts here. By way of disclosure I have a single alto which I love and am looking to expand. Also while I can afford to generally buy what I want I don't spend frivolously (how I've gotten to the point where I can afford to buy what I want). Just looking at kscape and where they...

    Indigo

    I wasn't even thinking about interface building, the device comms set up seems super clunky in Indigo. What I really wanted to was not build any UI at all in Indigo but set it up as a persistent layer that I could just read feedbacks from. iRule sucks mightily at processing text so it would also...

    Alto drive finicky?

    I see it with basically every disc I put in the drive. It's not *that* big of a deal because I don't use it that often but it is annoying when it happens because I have to unplug the player and plug it back into get the disc out.

    Premier only features moving to Encore line?

    Sorry, this should be moved to the feature request thread.

    Premier only features moving to Encore line?

    Things like playlists, scripts, etc. that don't exist today on the alto would be great to see move to the Encore line (which the Alto is now part of). Has anyone heard any news of this? Given the migration path for premier customers to put their servers, etc. into an Encore system it seems it...
