Movie Time Remaining OSD

Well-known member
Is there a way to either get pausing the movie or some other command to show movie progress/time remaining on the screen? I know I can see it via the app, but the TV is more convenient in some instances.
 
Yup, on Premiere you have to select "Now Playing" on the K Remote (or whatever control system you're using , assuming your programmer added that option. I can't remember if it's in the control modules K created for other control systems.) You'll see the current Chapter, how many Chapters remain, along with time remaining. The info is in the "Status" section that appears when you select Now Playing.

This is on Strato only, just in case anybody is looking for it on the older products.
Is there any plans to match the Premiere ‘during playback’ interface with Strato? I am using Co-Star switched setups. It would make Co-Star even more seamless. I wouldn’t call this a priority need but a nice to have feature.
 
No current plans to do so. I wish there were because I'm also a Co-Star user, but there were technical reasons why it wasn't a straightforward port of the feature to the older players.
 
Also, just to follow up on my own post and Jim's:

On Strato, when you push Info on the remote, you'll see the Status display open, and that includes the current time in the movie and the time remaining, like this: 0:24:15 | -1:50:00

On all other players, if you push Info, the Status overlay comes up, but it does not have all of the same information in it. It does not have the current time in the movie, however it does have the time remaining, like this: "1 hour 50 minutes left"
 
I like the Strato version better, easier to mark a location!

Jim
 
Sure. Just smash the "Info" button.

Thanks guys. For anyone using a Logitech Harmony, like me, logitech labels the remote command as "StatusAndSettings". Between the two of you I was able to piece it together, so appreciate the help!
 
Control4 Chowmain driver used to show this on the remote controls and it was really nice, but now it now longer works. URC's new Kaleidescape module is really slick and shows the movie details/actors, etc, as well as time remaining
