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.

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 ?

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!

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?

For us projector folks, I think it would be awesome if the Zappiti could do dynamic auto tone mapping. Yes you can buy a $5000+ projector that has that feature. For those that can't afford something like that, if the Zappiti could do auto tone mapping like the Panasonic UB820 and UB9000 can would be great!

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

I would need the API function to directly call a speciffic file/movie like a "Quick Start Button" to make demos in a Cinema. Best by path, Movie Name or ID

The most advanced player ever built, cannot work with alternate music players such as Foobar 2000,AIMP and VLC except in stereo mode for the audio files encoded in multichannel version such as wav McH, Flac 5.1 ... but it play everything gapless, no pauses, no stopping, ... everything works fine, except Zappiti is not decoding the multichannels, even if the player is set to passthrough ...stereo only for audiofiles whatsoever, and 5.1 for videofiles (VLC only).

Have the ability to change the layout of the screen within a saga or groups like in the case of 007 movies if you want, where you have to currently scroll through lots of movies to get to the one you want. If it can be changed to a 2 or 3 line display that would help in the case where there are lots of movies within the group.

The ability to edit your collections using only an external keyboard so you don't have to press anything on the remote. Dedicated external keyboard keys for the "Menu" and "checkmark" remote buttons. This will reduce the use of the remote and prolong it's functionality. will avoid too much wear and tear. PLEASE! I'm a proud pro 4K owner and very happy with it.

Most movies are not full screen, but have a black bar above and below the picture. Zappiti always has the subtitles displayed on the picture portion of the screen even when the upper and low black bars are present. We can move the subtitles up but not down. We need the option to move the subtitles down and take advantage of this dark area to position the subtitle text there. In other words, the offset option in the subtitle’s settings should have the ability to go negative.
