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.

Add a feature to automatically play Blu-Ray BDMV and ISO menu in one of the available menu languages on the disk. Example: I configured my Samsung 4K UHD player to always play disk menu in French if this language is available. When I insert a 4K disk in the Samsung player, the French menu is played. However, BDMV folders or ISO file of the exact same disk always play the English menu in my Zappiti Mini 4K HDR even if my player interface language is configured in French.

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.

I am also a Plex user that have many extra/bonus files that conform to Plex's naming convention. E.g., Teaser-trailer.mkv and The Making Of-featurette.mkv. I now have over 2,000 such files that failed identification in Zappiti. I am suggesting that Zappiti should add configurable keywords filter to exclude files with name that matched one of the keywords from being added to the identification process. Example of keywords (for my user case) are "trailer," "featurette," "deleted," and "behindthescenes." A file name matching pattern for exclusion will also work. E.g., *-trailer.mkv, *-featurette.mkv, etc.

Please allow .nfo files, so that we can create our own custom series/episode lists, that can be then scanned to the library instead of having to scrape them via tmdb. A bonus then would be that one is allowed to choose to use the "local files" or the scraper provided.

thank you

Now that tvdb is removed, please add it again as a paying extra.

Can't you also add the IMDb to the film covers so that you can immediately see what rating the film has.

Also add the film title in the text under the cover and if you move the remote control over it, it will then pass in the ticker.

It would also be desirable to have more choices of backgrounds.

Take a look at Zidoo, they have great futures there.

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

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

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 .

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.

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