About Movie Explorer

A great piece of software.
I had a PC before and as I was a DBA I started to catalougue all my dvd's and movies in a database.
I also built a webpage (locally) for search and display. A lot of work. :(
Now I have a Mac and found this excellent program which does all this by reading my files and fetching all info almost instantly.
Why did I not change to Mac earlier. Fantastic program an very easy to use.

Thank you

nice but annoying bug

Really nice interface with overview and details. Fast search function.

But, it mistakenly finds wrong titles for movie files.
Don’t know why, if it is the app itself or external movie database.
When that is solved, I will go for the payed pro-version without hesitation.

Developer Response ,

Matching files with movies depends on using the correct file naming conventions. Please read article 'A particular movie or episode is not recognized properly. How can I fix this?' in the Movie Explorer FAQ (https://betamagic.nl/support/movieexplorer/faq.html) to learn more. Otherwise contact support@betamagic.nl
