It would be fun to have a random film selector - obviously it would have to cater for films already seen, and not play a film in a film series out of order

Synology has just released a DSM (7.0) blocking root access to packages.
https://www.synology.com/.../supported_third_party...
Mono and Zappiti Server are affected by the issue, knowing that Mono is not developed by Zappiti and is needed to run Zappiti Server.
Anyone upgrading to DSM 7.0 will no longer be able to use Zappiti Server on Synology.

Hello,
With the help of your service tech Chris, I can use my Zappiti with a keyboard. Here is an improvement consideration.

How about giving the Zappiti the ability to respond to voice commands? Such as asking the player to locate a particular movie or song. The Zappiti maybe used with the Amazon Alexa or Google Home. I have an extensive move library. This, like the keyboard, would be perfect. Thank you.

I would appreciate the option to use or not use the various graphics and banners that show up by default on movie posters. As an example. All of my media files are MKV, but Zappiti by default displays the MKV banner on all my posters. Useless, distracting info that should be be the user’s choice to use. There is an option to not use the audio icon, why can’t this be extended to all graphic add-ons?

One of the functions I loved on Plex was the ability to point the system to a pre-roll file or folder. This would run those clips before starting the movie. We had our own little personalise intro play before movies started. Would love to see this implemented in Zappiti Video.

Allow users to create custom reports to export their database details. All database field values should be able to be selectable and user can choose what they need.

Also, have a flag in the database to indicate if a movie or TV series has a soundtrack associated or not so we can troubleshoot to add if missing. The only way right now is to sift through 1000s of titles to look for the music icon on the box art.

would really like it if the zappiti one plays all internal drives I can't play 10 hard drives from samsung my question can you solve that with an update my thanks will be great and not only me but also other enthusiasts. gr leo .

Create a user preference setting that would allow you to turn off the Tips screen(s) shown at Media Center Startup.

Add dates to the website knowledgebase articles. This way customers are not trying to follow outdated instructions. Such as installing Zappiti server on a Synology NAS running DSM 7 versus one running DSM 6.

It currently takes 6 clicks (plus multiple screens) to get the the "select a collection" screen.

This is particularly onerous when you have company and just want to switch to a different collection.

May be add a "discovery" feature to identify which of the files could be updated with higher quality (image, audio), and launch the download

Be able to filter to see only Dolby Atmos of DTS object based movies

Some user prefer their own Language, for audio or subtitle. It would be nice to be able to filter the presented movies with one or two attributes (example : Audio : French).

New player with RTD1619DR hexa-core 64-bits will be appreciated

The map "Best Movies" contains ALL my films? It would be nice if this map would contain really the best movies based on IMDB (let's say >8 pts) or maybe somewhere a list sorted for the IMDB points.

Sony Blue Ray devices have 24p True Cinema that gives a smooth, clean, clear image ,no jumps, no shakes.
