Very Good
I'v been searching for a program like this for some time; one which will work off my NAS; this one seems to be the best yet.
United StatesPrint Catalog
I would give you a 5 star if I could PRINT the catalog. You want/need a hard copy sometimes.
United StatesSome disappointing problems in this app
Tried the Pro 14 day trial. Adding your own CDs is a real problem. Scanning doesn’t work well in FaceTime camera. Matching discs to titles is spotty for documentaries and multi-disc shows. Hard to add your own discs with their own barcode if it doesn’t match IMDB. Should be an override so you can still keep track of your own discs. I will not be buying the Pro version if it’s this buggy. Here should be a way to override or link to Amazon or another source or data.
United StatesThe Best program for Mac platform, hands down.
impressive
United StatesThe Best Movie Management Solution Anywhere
Everything in this app is exactly as it should be. Each element is as functionally intuitive as it is beautiful. Streamlined but powerful. Why can't all software be like this? Only regret is I didn't find it sooner. Thank you to the developer(s).
United StatesMovie files
I would give it 5 stars if you allowed the move file could be copied to a USB drive. That way the movie could be played on a any TV. As we travel a lot I like to be able to take a couple of movies with me.
United StatesFantastic app, needs a few key features (updated)
Amazing app, subscribed to pro. Thanks for excellent work developing it. Please, please, please add the following features: ⚛ Refresh all locations with a single click -- queue them up, scan them one by one, whatever the app needs to do. I have 9 locations, 12000 files, and it is a pain to press refresh, wait 15 minutes or so, press refresh on the next drive, and over and over again -- every day! ⚛ Scheduled auto-refresh of library locations ⚛ Please move the database to iCloud so that we can have two or more instances of the app running across different computers. I understand this doesn't work well for local library locations, but it would work for anyone who shares their libraries and accesses them via /Volumes/xxxx ⚛ Ability to add queries as custom genres and then to be able to put them in the genre list on the sidebar (eg. query: "genre contains: romance genre contains: comedy", save as cusom genre: romantic comedy, add to sidebar as a genre" ⚛ Please move the export templates out of the export-config plist so I can modify them. Perhaps an option to allow overrides in the advanced menu. Just an option to point to a folder and to override the config plist if there is our own one in there. Don't need to document it, just free it from its .app folder prison please! :-D ⚛ TMDB ratings are very low quality. Many of us have the 100,000 per day api keys for OMDB and would appreciate being able to put our key into Movie Explorer and have the app replace ratings with more comprehensive ones from IMDB as provided through an OMDB link. Have code to make the link if that helps! ⚛ "Show In Finder" in as many context menus as is appropriate please! ⚛ Ability to show and hide various fields that I don't care about in the side panels, like'specifications' or 'crew' or 'history'. ⚛ Ability to change font size in the side panel. Right now it's either small or small. ⚛ Right click on a movie poster should show a quick star rating option "★★★★★" -- switching between tabs in the side panels to find the rating one is time consuming. ⚛ Hidden movies - Right click on a movie to keep it in the database but hide it from the main view, especially the default non-query list like "all movies". I like a big movie collection - I personally don't like horror, but want to keep it in case someone else wants to watch one. In that rare event they can browse them in a 'hidden' list or perhaps in a genre list with the option to show or hide hidden movies. ⚛ I run the app on a 2012 mac mini. The app is very fast and smooth when all it is doing is scrolling through movies, but when refreshing locations it slows to a crawl. Perhaps the app could detect that and adjust the refresh rate accordingly. got lots more ideas! robert
