Movie premieres in the movie guide are awesome! It is something I've been wanting for a while now, but could not find any source (I can't even find any website that has this ability).
I'd love it even better if you could limit the movies listed to only those that are airing on channels that are within a particular user-created "Favorite Lineup". This would allow you to see premieres of movies on just the premium networks (HBO, Showtime, etc.) and ignore movies that are on commercial networks which are edited for time or content.
I know this is probably not possible in WMC (unless there is some hidden feature that was never fully implemented) but I can dream...

I installed this first thing this morning, about two hours ago, and proceeded to run it. Everything seems fine but I have not had the time to verify the logos yet as I had to catch a train to work.
I did, however, look at the Categories Search on the left pane of the guide and it is fantastic. While I understand what you are doing with the title "_Premiere_" in the Movies Category I think it looks "unnatural" compared to the rest of the guide. It is possible to go immediately to "Premiere" with one simple button push of the numeral 7 on a WMC remote because it acts just like the "old days" of texting and actually sends the letter "p" which would take you directly to "Premiere". If you choose to leave it as is I won't complain and my only intent is to provide positive criticism.
Again, thank you for your hard work on this project. I think I'll send you some more "ice cream" money..

Yeah. We thought we were only getting better data but now were getting better manipulation of the better data!Embiggens wrote:Wow, this is so far above and beyond what I expected from a guide replacement! U R COOL.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better. Nice work.

I'm with you. Consider it changed to just "Premiere" on the next release. My intent was to make it stand out, but all it really did was make it look out of place...not a very polished look.Sammy2 wrote:While I understand what you are doing with the title "_Premiere_" in the Movies Category I think it looks "unnatural" compared to the rest of the guide.
The underscores have been axed.
