Wow, that looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it out!!
That’s pretty damn nice looking. Thanks for hooking us up.
Once such solutions as Moovida is very much required , we need to test it more and see what new features can be added , anyone how its a definite must try 🙂
installed it, moovida is more of an eye candy than actually of some use… feel like uninstalling
Someone should make one of these that doesn’t automatically go full screen. I love the movie database feature, but can’t stand the proprietary interface. If VLC had a plug-in that allowed for a movie / tv show database that would be perfect.
Ben, you may want to try Xbmc (http://xbmc.org/).
I installed it, tried it, can’t seem to close it, no exit button. Had to force it closed. It didn’t find anything on either of my harddrives after pointing to folders. I uninstalled it.
Hey thanks for the great article i thought it was very well written an enjoy the in depth analysis or our software.
Great to see the positive responses
An remember if you have any thought questions or queries feel free to contact us at http://WWW.MOOVIDA.COM

Good looking but not much more, did not last much on my system. Did not like it.
It appears to me that this media player does not player DVD or DVD ISO file!
What kind of media player does not play DVD?
If you like you can use the command line option -u for “unfullscreen” -f to force full screen.
Hello,
I’m looking for a video player plugin for browser (IE,FF, …) that notifies javascript engine with time events so that xe can do something during the execution of the movie displayed …
Somebody knows something like that ? (applet, flash, … ?)
thanks a lot,
Phil
XBMC is another prog that has all of this functionality, available for Linux/Windows/MacOS
Has anyone discovered how to close this app cleanly?
I installe it on windows machine. but it stay full screen all the time.. isn’t there any small window option?
Johnny Walker:
Not really what I meant, but I worded it poorly.
XBMC has its own interface as well. There should be something like this that just uses the natural interface of your GUI. No skins.
I realize the media centers want full screen, but for a dude like me who watches media on his day-to-day machine, the fullscreen skinned interface is overkill.
great,cant wait
I installed this on windows xp, I have a one for all remote with ir connnection, works perfect for going into folders etc, but I cannot move back?? is there a way i can configure a button on my remote to do this? seems like it would be easy.
I think I like boxee better…
