So with the positive buzz surrounding the company, i'm interested in what people would rank as their top "asks" in order to keep their committal to having a K system going forward.

In order, mine would be:

1) integrate disc server with the Strato (just waiting on that fw update :) )
2) more UHD content that comes close to matching what UHD bluray users have available
3) lower prices for digital storage (Terra)
4) bring back the customized intros


Interested to hear from others!
 
Nice suggestions. No disagreements. My addition would be if changes are needed then I ask to keep things as close to the same if possible.
 
Most important for me is the ability to import my existing licenced music library. I feel the current system is very out of date by only allowing cd’s to be imported. When itunes was launch I loaded all of my cd’s onto the computer and put the discs into storage. A few years later after coping the library to a backup drive, I decided to give the discs away as they were no longer needed. So I now have 1000’s of songs in my library from both cd’s and new purchases from itunes store, all licensed and not fraudulent downloads. I feel it is essential for digital music imports to become an option at some point in the future. Currently I am running a separate harddrive with all of my music and it means I have two separate systems in play. Not many people buying CD’s these days and digital music downloaded is now mainstream in the market. I appreciate this isn’t movie related however the music server element of the system is really good and it seems a waste not to use it.

With regards to movies I have an M700 and 1U server and now that I’ve loaded over 200 movies I am finding it hard to search for the film I want, considering I am new to the product so please excuse my lack of knowledge but a search function would be good if its not already there somewhere.

Have you tried using the list view for movies? With a 1000 movies I can easily find a movie I'm looking for using list view.

The number pad on the remote can be used as a text pad.
 
If you gave the discs away, your copies of them are technically now illegal.
