Needed or Wanted changes to carry Kaleidescape forward

Authorized Kaleidescape Dealer
I have started this thread because needed and wanted changes are scattered all over this forum and I wanted to concentrate them under this thread.
I just became a dealer with 15k worth of equipment which are in danger of going extinct and I think I have the right to share my thoughts here. 1st off, my thoughts are with all the employees who just lost their jobs. 2nd, I can't figure out why a company in such a caliber failed to notify it's employees and dealers as to what is coming down the pipeline. Anyways, I am high in emotions and this is not the place.
I will dive right in.
Needs:
1. Strato needs to be able to pull content from disc server.
2. Encore line of products should be able to play 3D content.
3. Disc server should play 4K BDs.
Please add as you see fit.
Wants:
1. Adding additional viewing zones should not translate to purchasing full size players such as Alto or Strato.
2. Disc server with builtin Strato or Alto should exist.
3. (This is a big one and I invite more debates) Netflix has been a huge money maker for it's owners and investors alike. Why can't Kaleidescape create something like netflix or vudu to create huge revenue which they could put to use to easily improve their high end product line and appeal to mass market who don't have or simply don't want to purchase hardware based service and couldn't careless about audio or video quality.
Just my 2-cents. Please agree, disagree and debate.
Best,
Shane
 
Why wouldn't Paramount allow Kaleidescape offer their content?
 
My Familiy would like to have the Movies with german Synchronisation 😕

Disk to Digital for every movie in the store. Meaning if you own it on physical and it's also in the store, you should be allowed to go diskless for a fee. A slot in a Disk Vault is worth $15 ($5000/320).
 
Music

I think the addition of Roon and/or Tidal would be great. The space a music collection would consume is minor.

Click to expand...

For $15 a pop we darn well better have the option of releasing non-store titles too. At that price there is a healthy chance the fee would be more than it was originally purchased for.
 
Three asks:

Premier line music capabilities either directly supported in Strato or via integration, but from a unified control plane - interface.
I don't like the choice of two interfaces and I don't like to think about installing a different brand -component taking up valuable space for music; one system to rule them all!

Power/Energy saving mode and the ability to remotely power/on all components (servers and disk arrays).

Paramount Studio titles.

Cheers
 
This is a simple want but I wish there was an 'All Movies' Collection, that automatically included all movies on the system. I actually like the collections views better than the "List" view, since it has the large cover art.
