Show Ratings on Device in UIs

[TrackZ]

Looking through my downloaded content on my Strato, I'm not seeing the Rotten Tomatoes nor the Common Sense Media ratings on the content summary screen. I really like how these are shown throughout other areas of K interfaces, and would like them on-screen for downloaded content.

Would also be nice if the audio codecs were listed in that summary screen too.

Thanks for the suggestion. We are looking at adding those scores to the details displayed for movies downloaded to your system, so that they'll display the same way they appear when you're browsing the movie store.

The addition of the audio codecs is perhaps less likely, because it's not something that most users look at once they've bought a movie. You can always start the movie playing and then check the Audio tab of the Playback Options view. Obviously that's several extra steps, though.

I think there is a use case for quickly checking audio codecs to verify if you have the latest audio version in cases where there is a later upgrade to the audio. Of course, some type of automated notification would be even better.

Before playback, I always like to know the video and audio I expect to experience. I then verify I'm getting the right results by checking the info data on my projector and preamp. In today's AV world with so many connections, formats, and settings, I like the peace of mind of verifying what I'm watching and hearing is what I'm supposed to.

TrackZ, your use case is actually really amenable to the existing UI. Since you have to have the media playing to check that your preamp is correctly decoding the audio, it's just two quick button presses (Info, right arrow) to get to the Audio tab and display what the player is outputting.
