Are there any features you think would greatly improve your EVA experience? List your top suggestions, and let's see how many of us would like to see the same things added to the EVA in future software, or hardware, developments.

Here are a couple of mine to start off with: 

1. Make it work with the SlingBox! Wouldn't that be awesome?! 

2. I'd like to see some of the configuration options made more intuitive so that customizing my file browsing experience is easier.

3. A more powerful remote control that I can program to use with the rest of my home theater components, like my TiVo.

Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, quietly fading away...

Hi,

I'm really happy with my EVA 700, but I find it quite uncomfortable to scroll to my huge list of folders for playing music.

1. Could you please provide a navigation functionality for folders, so that the user could find all folders beginning with a letters. For example while navigation into the "My Music" folders I want to navigate to all music folders where the artist begins with 'G'.

2. Could you please improve the availability of the alternative programs of the Windows Media Center of the category 'More programs' within EVA 700.

Best regards

Oliver Lehmann

Hi gang,

My suggestions would be to add...

"quick scan for new media" by folder (as opposed to rescanning all folders with thousands of songs and pictures).

Add  folder views i.e. list, details, thumbnails and additional to this font size changes within the skin.

add reverse scrolling (I'm sure there is a more technical term for it) i.e. push UP at the top of the list to scroll straight to the bottom and vice versa.

a Visualiser for music and internet radio and additional screensavers.

I'll add more when they come to mind.

Much Love

Flaymr

It would be great to go back and make sure that all the movie formats are really supported, and improve the error displays if a feature isnt supported.

I have a large number of mpeg-2, mov and avi files that wont play for some reason, suggestions of older versions, different codecs etc are all over the forum, yet they all play very well through any windows installed software on a pc.

for example it would be nice that if .mov files are supported then all .mov files are indeed supported

1. How about an easier way to play an album. Instead of going to album/folder/browse/down one slot/play, it'd be great to just find the album you want to hear and hit 'play' and have it start playing in order. As it is currently set up, there are simply too many hoops to jump through.
2. Better display of pictures. Looking at photographs taken with my Nikon D100 through the Netgear look like crap. The aspect ratios and rendering are wrong, and nothing I can find will make them better. (Yes, I've tweaked all the supervisor settings to no avail..) I do not have this issue when looking at them through the same cables, the same network, on my PS3.
3. A better screen saver or the ability to change it
4. A better, smoother GUI
5. Is there really any use at all for the 'desktop' access function? I've tried to use it and either the accessibility/use of the mouse needs to be improved, or scrap the idea all together and concentrate efforts elsewhere. (Like the GUI)
6. LOVE the 'visualizer' idea by Flaymr
7. Navigation of the photographs menu needs some improvement. Again, too many hoops to jump through to get the basics. If I want to start a slideshow - just let me find the main folder of the particular collection and hit 'play'. Viola - we're off to the races. Again, take a look at the PS3 and how it displays photos. Much smoother and more intuitive.

What I more would appreciate is the capability to connect EVA with a Upnp server like ORB
If Netgear do this the product will be complete for me: We could have Internet TV access, TV recording + all the ORB plus

Thanks everyone for your great suggestions. I really like the folder views and visualizer ideas. Does anyone else out there have anything else to add?

It would be nice if you could skip-back a song or two on an M4P album (itunes). Also - the iTunes songs all load SLOW.
