Unless I am misunderstanding how it works, using the scene setting tool is way too tedious of an approach for a concert disk with 10 or 15 different songs. Plus, it’s so much more elegant when Kaleidescape does it where you get the options for playing the main concert or disc, selecting individual tracks, or selecting extras.

Dolby Vision. The picture (color and contrast) is far superior to HDR10 in my opinion (when watching on an OLED television).
Yes!
Was going through all my purchased movies last night, I had totally forgotten about some of them, so the ability to see all my movies on the wall, downloaded and not downloaded, maybe have the non downloaded ones greyed out so I know it is not downloaded. If you select one that is not downloaded it could give the option to download it. It would be nice to see them all while looking for something to watch.

Even though we are generally picking out a movie before we even fire up the theater, I 100% back this request. Would be very useful.

I have asked for this (plus include those that I have cataloged) for a long time. I have zero expectation that this will ever occur!

There's also the issue of, for example, multiple Batman series(es) and Spider-Men. If you want to separate Tobey, Andrew, or Tom - you gotta start getting creative with how you rename the movie titles. And then you throw Miles into the mix and it's chaos.
Mike, on recent titles, placement has seemed ideal. Having the ability to adjust size, brightness and color (so many dark movies these days!) would still be nice.

This one should be relatively easy: an option in the settings menu to auto pause when watching a scene. So many times when I'm demoing my theater to someone and showing off a variety of scenes, and I need to hit pause before the scene begins so my projector and audio processor both have a chance to get ready.
Personally, I would like to see some improvements in all playback startup (scenes, features, etc) to account for displays and/or audio gear that have to do some kind of re-sync.
In the meantime, though, if you're showing people a series of scenes, you might consider using the Second Screen app to control things. That way, one scene ends, the video pauses, and you can start another scene from the app without returning to the onscreen display, which is usually the transition that causes things to change the most in terms of video format and so on.
or a script?
It may not be an ideal solution, but you could create your own "pause" by creating a script with "Show a blank screen" as the first step and configure it to remain for a set number of seconds (i.e., the time it takes the AV gear to sync) or have it wait and do nothing until you hit the PLAY button.
Just a thought,
Andy
On second thought, that may not achieve what you want since everything will sync up for that blank screen, and then potentially sync again if the content you're playing is a different resolution/sound mode. Maybe worth some playing around with, but it may not work. Sorry 
Now that I think of it, I think it would be good to have a setting where you can always have it auto-pause whenever you play anything. I still have to hit pause before starting a movie if I want to see it completely from the beginning. Oftentimes I don't really need to do that since it's just a bunch of studio logos, but every once in a while a movie will just start in directly, and then I have to rewind. It probably shouldn't default to a blank screen since it might be hard to know when the movie is ready to show, so instead it might be good to have a screen that says "Ready to play" or something.

I've often thought this would be a good idea.
Ideally, a setting that we could adjust on the player that would insert a predefined pause time that each user could set to match their display, and then automatically begin playback.
Another option, less seamless, would be to automatically enter Intermission mode with the movie artwork onscreen, and then when our displays sync, we can simply press play to start the movie.
