Here’s something pretty cool

The next update will introduce an improved way of updating your Movies and TV Shows libraries.

Currently, any updates of the libraries run in the foreground and pretty much block everything else. That’s not a very nice way of doing it, so from version 1.8 everything will be going on the background. That way, you can do whatever you want while the libraries are updating and you can even browse your collections as they’re updating and look at the details of already added movies and shows. You could also take a look at trailers of upcoming movies or check out what’s hot on the most popular video sites.

You’ll find two screenshots of what it looks like in this post - the above one is for tablets and the below one is on phones.

What’s to come in version 1.8

I think I’ve told you guys several times that the next update is going to be the biggest update yet, and that it’ll take some time to get it done. Anyway, I thought I’d give you an idea of what’s to come - or at least what I’ve got planned. Some of the things might be implemented differently or not at all, but these are the things I’d like to add in the next version:

Version 1.8:

  • DLNA / UPnP support
  • IMDb support (but TMDb will still have advantages like backdrops, cover browser and actor info)
  • Improved overview of TV show episodes / seasons
  • Improved search
  • Improved TV show manual identification
  • Improved update process
  • Localized data for TV shows
  • More various settings
  • Network support (Samba / CIFS)
  • Some translations (and ability to use English as default)
  • Support for 7-inch tablets (added in 1.7.6.1)
  • TV show favourites
  • Watch list
  • (Improved code structure - not really a feature, but makes it easier for me!)

Again - just a friendly reminder that the above mentioned upcoming features / changes are planned but might be subject to change. It might not end up exactly as planned. Just keep it in mind…

What users say

Excellent App! This is a great looking and very functional movies and tv organising app. Thank you for the good support and regular new features and updates. — Kenneth

Exactly what I was looking for and a bit more..... All the video players I've tried on my Lenovo K1 Ideapad just give you an ugly list with a screenshots of the video files. This separates movies and TV shows, adds cover art and uses IMDb for reviews and backdrops. When you hit play just select your favorite video player as default and you're set. — SaDiin

Awesome app! Loving this app on my tab, beautiful & fast UI. Great support from dev! — Johanna

Really good. Makes my crap thumbnails look like gold. — Matthew

great Been waiting for an app like this for managing media on my tablet since I got it — Matt

OUTSTANDING APP!!!!!!! This app really ROCKS! I love everything about it and can't wait to see what's coming. The developer helped me out via email when I was having setup issues and had my problem fixed in no time. Best Customer Service Award goes out to Michell. — Laurence

Fantastic! A fantastic and great looking app. Works really well, and with the upcoming changes in 1.8 with DLNA support will undoubtedly become even better. Works great on the Transformer Prime running ICS. — Spiros

Five stars for constant updates....this app has come a long way — Darish

Should be 10 out of 5! This app defines what an app should be on Honeycomb, it is the kind of thing that makes having a tablet awesome! Also, the developer was fantastic in helping me resolve a problem, he responded within minutes (seconds?) of me sending him an email. Buy this app and tell your friends to do the same, you won't regret it! — amruthwo

This app is stupendous and is a must have for any movie/tv buffs or people who store content locally. Good work! — Daniel

Essential for Entertainment. Love this app so much! — Ram

Best App For Managing Movies and TV Shows. The interface is intuitive and fast. Adding movie/show information is automatic and relatively accurate. The developer is quick to respond to emails and eager to ensure customers needs are met. Well worth the price! Great app and a great dev. — James

Great. A great app with a motivated developer and very frequent updates. Superb interface — Thibaut

Beautiful looking and highly functional! Great looking app, automatically found and stored all my show info, downloaded posters and summaries. I contacted the developer and got a very quick and helpful response. — Michael

Great app. By far my favorite app on my ASUS Transformer! Love the info on each movie when you touch the movie poster. Gives options to watch trailer on YouTube, read reviews and play movie. Works great on my HDTV!! — Lou

I love this app. Had it about a month now and wouldnt live without it. Great job! — Mr Bear

How movies should look! I was disappointed with the android native movie application. Where is the cover-art? The movie/tv information? This app is what the android movie application should have been and more. It linked everything in my movie library with no issues. The app looks great too! Awesome! Great Work! — DavidGuy

Awesome!! I have a media PC running XBMC and was looking for a similiar setup for my tablet when I found this. As far as I'm concerned this is one of the best apps I have. Works great and looks fantastic. Theres not another video library that even comes close. — Wosto

Great layout and features. Really nice way to collect and organize your movies and tv-shows. Like the UI a lot. — Ermias

Amazing App. Great app!! I thought I would get just another normal poorly programmed app this one is awesome! I highly recommend it! — Marc

One of the prime Honeyomb apps. It's an amazing feat that a lone developer can do better work than most dev teams. I've followed this guy since his beta on XDA, and look at him and his app now. Perfectly showcases Android's ability to provide indie devs to show their talent by offering powerful tools and near-complete freedom to generate an incredible app such as this. Excellent support, fast and accurate movie/TV listing, beautiful interface, support for multiple codecs. Highly recommended. — JJ

This app has come a long way in a short amount of time. Its matured into an XBMC style interface to showcase my movies/TV shows beautifully and easily. Great app! — Patrick

Amazing!!! Looks great on my Transformer Prime!!! — Shawn

a must buy. an awesome app. the dev is also very responsive — Joseph

The best at what it does. Haven't yet found an app similar to this, for me it's the best one at what it does. Of course there are still things that could be added, but the application is being worked upon heavily and the developer listens and responds to questions or requests very quickly, so I'm sure it'll get even better. Definitely five stars from me :) — Natan Žabkar

Best video app ever. This app really shows how great android is. TV shows support works even better than movies. Such an amazing developer — Tom

Perfect AAA — Roaster

Best paid app I purchased I had the free version for 15 minutes before I upgraded. Updates are often and good. — festmaster

Fantastic. A truly awesome app for showcasing movies. Who wants to use a file browser, when your mp4 videos can be represented by large, beautiful photos with integrated information? Plus, frequent updates. Keep up the great work. — Gregor

Excellent App. This app is great for portable movie watching! Worth every penny once you name your files correctly. I highly recommend this app, but for playing the videos use MX player! Keep up the great work on developing this app! — Demetrius
