Ratings and Reviews
Updated review - Excellent software
Update: I have just had the pleasure of working with the developer to help him track down a bug. Having done this sort of testing with several developers over the years, I have to say that dealing with Ron was an absolute pleasure. He was efficient, very personable, and clearly understood what he was doing. And, yes, he did track down the problem. This is a really good piece of software from a developer who deserves our support.
This is an excellent piece of software for organising your video files of movies and TV shows. The In-App purchase of the TV Shows Add-on is well worth the price.
The application is remarkably accurate, flexible enough to deal with slightly different naming arrangements, and makes it easy to find files that need some work on their names through an excellet Show in Finder feature. It provides access to rich information without swamping the interface with a flood of detail.
The developer is very responsive and suggested a workaround to an issue of how to manage extra featurettes associated with movies. There are always things to be improved such as the aforementioned extras, how to better associate movie length specials with their home TV series other than making up episode numbers, and simultaneous or queued scanning of sources, but none of this detracts from an solid, functional and comprehensive application.
Highly recommended.
No complaints with this one!
Within a few minutes it had scanned a couple of external drives for movies and TV shows and provided a cool catalogue, including information about each movie, of 761 movies and TV shows. This does what it says, and has a really nice interface. Recommended.
review for earlier version 181
The interface is well designed and the software is well thought out it is the best of its type except for one fatal flaw - it does not like some mp4 files and doesnt recognise them if you convert them to either avi or mkv it is fine - however it becomes a real problem if you are importing lots of files - I gave up and just designed a database. Until the mp4 issue properly addressed I can’t recommend this software
Developer Response ,
Please contact support@betamagic.nl before writing a review with a technical problem. The problem you describe can probably easily be fixed by disabling setting 'Read embedded metadata' in the Files section of the Movie Explorer preferences.
