New beta release for MyMoviesBrowser and SecondRun.tv.
MyMoviesBrowser is an open-source MCML frontend for MyMovies. It looks pretty good, but it was a bit buggy for me and I was no longer using MyMovies, so I didn’t give it a very good look.
Darick C., the developer, just released a new beta that adds the following features/bug fixes:
- Better resume playback and the playing of trailers before a movie.
- Updated how the settings are saved and the configuration utility.
- Added background images to movies and TV series.
- Now storing the TV series in the database, should load faster and allow for filtering.
- Added an application to help manage TV series and retrieve fanart for the background images.
I’d put up screenshots, but MyMovies no longer exists on any of my systems. You can get MyMoviesBrowser here. There is a thread at the MyMovies forum for support/info.
Update:
Almost forgot about the release of SecondRun.tv late last night. I have not tried it yet, but it appears that it does fix full-screen issues for some (there are still problems abound though). It also moves to a new 3-column layout so that more of the screen is used on displaying content. Much MUCH better.
It’s still getting better by the day and definitely worth a close look. Get it here.
