I hate it how Updates mess up all my Scripts. It takes a lot of time and work to keep them updated to the latest version.

I think for the most part that Kaleidescape doesn't spend a lot of time worrying about the whole scripting system. It's used by VERY few customers and therefore it's not a prioirty to making it better/easier or less vulnerable to movie store changes.
It's a shame, and I've always felt that it's somewhat circular logic on their part: it's not easy to use (or even find) and has other issues, so it's not used much, so they then say "let's not bother to improve it because we just checked the data and turns out it's not used much!"

I concur, very odd logic here. I see scripts as a driver for Terra purchases. Buy a Strato V and rent some movies. Decide to get more serious, add a Terra and “unlock” the full Kaleidescape experience with poster wall, scripts, etc. if anything, scripts could be beefed up to really entice people on the up-sell. Custom logos, script GUI, fades, etc.
For myself, since beginning to play with scripts I’ve downloaded movies I otherwise wouldn’t and have purchased movies just to run scripts from fellow owners. Scripts, by their existence, are causing me to use (and want) more storage.
But, as we know I have similar feelings about store listing that appeal to collectors that would also drive Terra sales, and K doesn’t seem too interested there either. It could just be that they’re focused on expanding to wider markets and a smaller group buying big Terra’s wasn’t cutting it. Oh well, as long as they get more money we’re all likely to be happier.
