moVee 8 desktop application
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?

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).3rob3 wrote:I don't have Win8 or else I'd give it a shot
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
