The Strato M is DCI 2K which is 2048x1080 vs standard HD resolution of 1920x1080.

From Kaleidescape: "The list of “qualified” drive models are drives that were specifically tested by Kaleidescape’s Engineering team and are known to work. Other drive models may work . . ." I'm using an ASUS drive I bought in 2015 and haven't had any issues. DVD's, Blu-rays, and UHD Blu-ray...

I don't understand your statement. You don't think a protocol should be developed first so that all products can follow the protocol? What would be the alternative? HDMI 2.1 was released in 2017 so it is already 7 years old.

You can use various methods to convert playlists to other streaming services. I transferred all my Amazon Music playlists to Apple Music with no issues. We use Apple Music for several reasons: We have the family plan and 6 people can share the account, but each can have their own playlists...
