updated screens


Hi folks time for an update. I have some more screens available... so lets jump in
first off I've updated the thumbs display.
the update function has been adapted to grab the rating, and that rating now appears as the number of stars under the name, and the name now has the green glow effect to it. Everything flies from left to right and right to left. you'll see in the youtube video.


There is a new icon now, these turning gears icon appears if you have added new movies to your movie directory. Thats right, all you do is dump the movie into your directory on your computer and thats it.
when it appears you click on the icon and the following update actions
occur.



when you click on that icon a list appears with the title you added to your movie folder. They appear because they dont have thumbnails or information contained in your xml library. you need to update them.





this is what updating looks like. Once the update is complete this menu disappears as well as the gears icon. The movie should now appear in you titles complete with thumbnail, genre, description and rating.


one of the last updates is the change genre section. lets change the genre of bolt,  to update click on the genre itself while looking at the DVD cover as seen below.


You should now see a drop list of the genres appear next to the genre. This genre list is dynamically generated by all of the distinct genres in your movie directory. You then scroll down and select the genre the system will update the genre and then prompt you below that the Item Updated.



so folks release time is almost upon us. The only bug I have left is the stars need to appear in the dvd cover section as well.



Some things to note. I found that when I loaded all the titles I had the system did act a bit jumpy but if I just used genres and the A to Z listing things went smooth as silk. Heres a rough video of the whole thing in action...enjoy


opps video is a bit too small on the blog, you might want to view it full screen or view it on youtube.
