Wish List for Next Firmware

In addition to fixing the bugs listed above we would like the following added

(The CH302 should also be brought into line)

Remaining countdown time (disk/track/song whatever) either on screen or LCD or both - not there

Settable Screen Saver time (With option of disabling it) - not there

Auto standby after pre-determined idleness (Again with option of disabling it) - not there

Adjustable Volume Control using Up/Down arrows while video is playing for Instance - not there

ID3 filename support for MP3 - think so

Picture centering function using arrow keys.- not there

Audio Channel Test - not there

Layer Change Test - not there

Some Players give a menu similar to the 10.01 MP3 player for MPG or JPG's just stored in the root of a CD
so a similar menu would be nice - not there in PDL0105E-030220

A method of reprogramming Splash screen independantly of actual firmware program version - not there

Possibly a way of altering brightness/contrast/saturation/hue/colour whatever to our personal tastes - not there

A method of changing brightness of flourescent display - not there

Firmware upgrade procedure should give some sort of progress indication
either on the display or on the Flourescent Display
i.e. a number counting upwards/downwards
or an upgrade complete message perhaps or both.- not fixed but does say clearing EEprom and sits indefinately now at updating message in PDL0105E-030220

Again thanks to all those that have contributed to this list.
