    IMPORTANT: HOW TO LIST GEAR HERE

    This area is the only area of the forum where you can list NON-Kaleidescape gear for sale.

    IMPORTANT: TWO marketplace areas now

    As a result of the increase listings for non-Kaleidescape gear for sale (which really was never the intent of this board), I've opened up a second Marketplace forum for other-branded gear. ONLY postings for Kaleidescape-branded equipment and accessories will be permitted in the original...

    Any graphic artists want to help with new forum art?

    Every few years I have to update that picture in the upper-right hand corner of our forum page, because it's just looking antiquated with new hardware that's been released. Anyone have graphics skills they can apply to refreshing that thing with a new version? I really need it to be the same...

    IMPORTANT: THIS SUBFORUM SLATED FOR REMOVAL

    Unless someone has a serious objection, I plan to remove this "Kaleidescape Music System" section from the forum, as Kaleidescape long ago stopped supporting regular music imports and playback, and there hasn't been a new post here for many years. Please note that there's a new forum area for...

    m500 no longer reading DVDs

    I have two M500 players in a grandfathered system. Each happens to be paired in co-star setup to a strato, though i doubt that's relevant.

    Cool!! Kaleidescape's "Second Screen" app on a Mac!

    Maybe this was obvious to everyone, but wasn't to me... I just successfully installed the "Second Screen" iPad app on a Mac, and it works. You must have one of the new Apple-silicon macs (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max processors). Many, but not all, iPad & iOS apps can be installed on Apple-silicon macs...

    new movie - odd pricing!

    Can anyone guess as to the pricing strategy here? The purchase price is lower than the rental. huh? (it's a brand new movie, so the price isn't reflecting any disc-to-digital discount)

    Crazy $20 Rental price?

    This movie seems to be offered only as a rental and at the crazy price of $20. I'm hoping that's a mistake that they'll fix? https://www.kaleidescape.com/movie-store/movie/barb-and-star-go-to-vista-del-mar-2021

    Occasional missing Rotten Tomatoes scores?

    Curious why some movies say there's no rotten tomatoes score for a title, even when there definitely is. e.g. David Byrne's American Utopia says Not Rated by Rotten Tomatoes, when in fact it has a full 127 critics rating and an impressive RT score of 98%. David Byrne's American Utopia (2020)...

    We get an email that our purchase went through, but it would be super useful to get an alert that the download is complete and movie is ready to watch! Can be by email, or by in-app Notification in the Kaleidescape app?
