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

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.

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.

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.

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 This way customers are not trying to follow outdated instructions.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.

Please consider eliminating the "Zappiti is the best" and "Did you know you can add a soundtrack?" messages when using the software.

...at least when switching collections. Particularly when there is company and you just want to switch to a different collection, the full page ads/tips on a 10' wide screen are jarring to the host and guests.

Good morning.

I bought the Zappiti One SE 4K HDR few weeks ago, and I am really satisfied about this product.
However, there is a recurrent problem : for each video or audio file I launch (from Zappiti Video, Music or Explorer apps), the video is instantly displayed at the screen, but the audio track takes 3/4 seconds to be sent to the amplifier (Onkyo TX-SR605), without a delay between the video and the audio once these 4 secs have passed.

Is there a setting I have to change, or is this a software problem ?

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

The remote is a big bulky, the response is slow at times, you have to press things twice. also maybe something better in design. Also it operates a lot of other things by mistake like for example SVS subs and other items that have remotes, so it's better to change this. so the remote doesn't change the volume/setting of other electronics.

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

Since we can crop the menu for 2:35 format, why not make the "wall of movies" fit a 2:35 screen? This is annoying!

When a movie is "seen" you change the Tick from Red to Green. When I have a movie collection (e.g. Star Wars) - if I have all the movies in that collection (all 9) then set the G icon from Red to Green - so I know I am not missing a movie in that collection.

I have an issue with 4K HDR playback with Atmos track and 10 bit color depth. The Audio track skips every 10-15 sec. it plays smooth in 8 bit. What is the issue? I have plenty of bandwidth to support this via wired cat 5… why is it skipping?
