    Repeated Guide Updates

    In watching the downloads from the holiday sale, I noticed the movie guide updated itself before each HDR release. They never caused anything to get stuck, it just delayed the downloads a few minutes each time. My understanding was the system pulled updates periodically, and if it got caught...

    Relative slashes

    I like the new slash pricing but have noticed that it only shows the regular price slashed, and not your individual "regular" price, Specifically, if a D2D title is on sale, then it should show the D2D price slashed instead of regular retail

    Costar update timing

    Given how sensitive the system gets when running in Costar mode, it would be helpful if it was mindful of when to do updates. I know in larger installs this could be complicated to schedule, but maybe give the option of a message to the user or dealer if the system hasn't been able to get a few...

    Ability to search the store website

    It would be really nice if we could always have the ability to search the store's web interface. Once the width drops below the point it would be showing then the field goes away. It doesn't relocate, it isn't something you can reach by scrolling back over, it's not hiding in a menu option...

    Second Screen App search limits

    Can @MikeKobb or someone else involved at K (or a user who's done a lot more testing on the issue than I) provide some insight into how the search function works? There are a number of times where I try searching for a title (even the one currently being played) and cannot get it to show as a...

    Requesting a lighter touch

    While I like the ability [for bookmarked content] to play all, there is clearly an automated stop/navigate/play "macro" involved that is a much rougher process than I would prefer (takes more time, resets audio options to player-defaults, audio/video/control dropout, etc.) Could there be some...

    Un-starring a player

    Was checking the list recently and noticed that an M-class player was still in costar mode from the prior owner. Is there a shorter way of popping it out than temporarily pairing and then unpairing it in my system?

    Co-star scaling

    Just to confirm this isn't simply a quirk in my stack, but when a co-starred system is setup to show everything on the Encore-side by setting the resolution to "Use highest available, up to 2160p" it will override the settings on the paired Premiere-side player? Not that the K is necessarily...

    Retaining Metadata

    Picking this as the forum for this topic.... I was getting repeated "difficulty reading movie" errors during playback, so deleted & redownloaded a movie. Chose to do it via the on-screen interface, so it warned that all copies would get nuked, not just the one I knew had issues. What it did...

    Encore Trash

    It would be nice if the Trash collection was available for Encore systems. Recovering movies when accidently deleted is definitely preferable to having to redownload them again (at any speed.)

    Quicker switching

    Maybe I'm just late to the party, but in case not, wanted to let folks know that using the Second Screen app to hop between discs in a multi-volume set dramatically speeds-up the transition. Even if you aren't waiting for the projector to swap back-and-forth from content-to-menu-to-content, the...

    Last viewed data

    I would find it helpful if there was an easy way to check when something was watched. Might come in handy for those that want to adjust the new collection. Parental oversight (maybe add which player it was on.) Big-brother types. Those of us who think they've watched something, aren't 100%...

    TV bundle

    Followed the Just In: TV collection link from the Wes Anderson email and found the group had a bundle button. However, unless I'm missing something, there don't seem to be any terms or additional discounting. Anyone else seeing this?

    List customization

    Inspired by the request for adding audio codecs as a sortable field, it would be nice if we could customize the list view to include/exclude metadata points & rearrange the order as well. While actor/director information is interesting, having the extra on-screen real estate for duration &...

    Costar Purchase Status

    I had cause to turn the premier servers off for a spell, and didn't think of it when I clicked on the reminder email for the last day of the Sizzle Sale. Was a bit surprised to see all the flags (checkmarks in lower-left corner of cover-art) gone when perusing, although the detailed listing did...

    Alien Collection

    Granted I need to get around to watching Prometheus & Covenant, but shouldn't the former be included in this collection?

    Automatic categories for resolution

    When the M-class devices rolled-out, a new automatic collection was created in Premier systems for BD/HD titles. I noticed when putting demo samples together this did not get carried into the Encore lineup. I think it would be rather helpful to have these automatic resolution/quality based...

    Internet bandwidth limits

    ISP bandwidth limits have come up a couple times in the last five years, but just to give others a heads-up: Comcast made a major push on expanding their 1T/month limit effective 1/1/2021. I plan to go back through the monthly bills to double-check if somehow I just missed it, but the first I...

    4k interface

    A cinescope-compatible was designed to fit more columns on screen, which is nice. However, why is the only option for 4k a scaled version of the regular interface? It would be great if we had the option to use a native-resolution version. This would allow for both more columns and more rows...

    Search more columns in list mode

    While in list mode, I would like to be able to type something and search/jump through those other columns, like you can do for title. Particularly, I would like to be able to type a number while sorting by run-time and have it jump to that many hours. The current method of scrolling to find...
