You and me both. I would love nothing more than to see some needed improvements in the UI addressed. Fingers crossed.I like the sound of that last sentence!

You were the first person I thought of when I read the announcement. I’m cautiously hopeful.You and me both. I would love nothing more than to see some needed improvements in the UI addressed. Fingers crossed.
I LOVE THE SMELL OF SMOKE SIGNALS PRE-CHRISTMAS...Both software branches have also had quite a bit of under-the-hood work going on to lay the groundwork for forthcoming features, so stay tuned for good things coming.
I will say I have noticed an issue with my M500 connected to a Sony OLED display. After approx 30 days of standby time I will turn on the player and the screen will be pink (missing a color in the signal). The only way to fix is a reboot of the player.8.9.x (on Premiere) were primarily bug-fix releases with no user-visible changes. We did improve support for PCM audio output.
10.13.x (on Strato/Terra/etc) have been similarly primarily related to bug fixes, along with improved support for PCM audio output. We also:

- As previously noted, added more details about the currently playing movie to the Playback Options overlay (accessed by pressing Info during playback)
- Made some improvements in how the rental expiration is shown for rented content
- Fixed an issue that caused the check mark next to the currently playing song in the Songs overlay to not advance as playback moves on to another song on content with Songs
- Made a change so that movies will be automatically stopped if left paused for over an hour. Having players left with paused content was blocking the system from entering an idle state that allows for software updates and certain other data update activity.
The Premiere players do not output bitstream audio when the selected output resolution is SD. For example, if I am watching an SD resolution movie and the video output is 480i, the audio output is PCM 5.1 instead of Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1. If I watch the same SD movie but this time the Premiere player outputting 1080p, the audio is correctly bitstream as Dolby Digital 5.1. Is this the correct behavior?8.9.x (on Premiere) were primarily bug-fix releases with no user-visible changes. We did improve support for PCM audio output.

I can understand that.You were the first person I thought of when I read the announcement. I’m cautiously hopeful.
I think you’ve made your point a few times. ”Insert beating a dead horse gif”….I can understand that.
If these upcoming changes are substantive and demonstrate that Kaleidescape is actually listening to their customers, I will be way more than pleased - and a new super supporter. And am confident that at least one individual I know who feels as I do about the lack of enhancements will finally become a Kaleidescape client.
BUT, being "cautiously optimistic" I just hope it's not the following:

As a OLED TV K customer, I would appreciate this. I would hope this is possible with the current hardware.HDR10+ and Dolby Vision capability would be a Christmas dream come true........
