moVee 8 desktop application

#1

Post by deery5000 » Wed Aug 21, 2013 2:41 pm

Hi all,

Ive developed a little desktop application and i would like some feedback from experienced media center users.

Currently the application only allows you to browse movie metadata but im working on the management of movies in relation of meta data and how this can be utilised with additional applications such as media center

Its a Windows 8 styled application which intergrates with TMDB to fetch its material.

Heres the URL
https://sourceforge.net/projects/movee8/?source=navbar

Im not a industry sodtware developer alothough i have a degree in software engineering
Love working with movies and i hope you enjoy

thanks for looking

Wow, looks really nice. Does it work with a remote control, or just mouse/touch?

Im in the process of developing the remote commands so the window remote can be used to navigate and play the movies in the collection

I just got the key codes to make it work.

Im glad you like the look, worked hard on the design.

Please download and give it a go, id be happy to hear your criticisms and feature ideas.

Its the first application ive developed and and im keen to hear reviews :)

cheers for the post

I think it looks great. I don't have Win8 or else I'd give it a shot (maybe when 8.1 is out I will). I see it is written in VB, I do a lot of VB coding for work.

This isn't a "Modern UI"/Metro app, it's a desktop app that uses a Metro "look and feel" (much as Windows Media Center has been doing for 7 or 8 years now).

I haven't tried it, but I don't see any indication that it wouldn't work on Windows 7.

Hi guys,

Foxwood is correct, this is a Windows desktop application styled towards the metro theme. The application is supported from XP onwards.
The only difference you will see in the UI between OSs is the scrollbar.

Have a go please, id love to here some feedback.

Im currently working on modifying the info yourself, therefore it will be available without an internet connection :)
