This should be an easy enhancement: When you pop up the details to see how much time is remaining, how about showing the actual clock time for when the movie will end. This should be a piece of cake since the Strato knows what time of the day it is, it can also do the math and display when it will be over.

This screenshot was taken at 9:42pm and it shows that we've got 44:19 to go. I would like to see something like: "0:48:51 | -0:44:19 | 10:26pm" right above the blue bar.

Apple TV does this. It's a great feature, IMO. One worth adding to the K UI.
 
Interesting idea. Didn't know that was an option on Apple TV. For K, would definitely want that to be an option though that could be enabled and not standard. I prefer the current clean interface.
 
Never thought of that, but now i really want this as well!
 
This should be a baked-in option on the UI, where it can be toggled on and off via the menu.
 
So how do ideas like this make it onto the roadmap? I'm guessing the KScape folks are watching here for ideas - anyone care to comment? I am curious about the process and what influence the forum might have with Product Management folks.
 
Great question.
While there are a couple of folks on here from K, don’t think I’m they are combing the forum for ideas.
Any thoughts @MikeKobb ?
 
We do keep an eye on these threads. It is always a balancing act. You can see from the comment above from @David23 that it's a feature that some people would want, and others would dislike and want to turn off.

With that being said, last night I was running a lengthy job on my 3D printer, and the display told me what time of the evening it would be finished. It was certainly welcome information.
