Hey, just bought the app.

It looks really cool and plays nicely with my Asus eee pad.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)

@All
I'm working on a Lite version of the application, which will be free, but limited in functionality. Think of it as an appetizer for the paid version.

Edit: The lite version is now without any limits, supported by ads.

Hi everyone

Just updated Mizuu Movies to version 1.1.1 - it's a small update, but it'll have a huge impact on the performance of the application, as I've enabled hardware acceleration, so the scrolling will be ultra smooth.

Version 1.1.1

  • Hardware acceleration enabled [no more sluggish scrolling]
  • Theme improvements

And like I said, I'm working on a Lite version of the application, so you can all try it out before buying. I know 15 minutes isn't a lot of time to try an app like this.

Hey everyone - again!

Been working most of the day on Mizuu Movies, and just finished the next update. Sorry about all the updates, but rather fast than slow, right? Here are the details:

Version 1.2.0 (July 24)
  • Added favourites
  • Added sharing
  • UI improvements
  • Improved manual identification

I've also added a LITE VERSION of the application that's totally FREE to install. It's limited to 8 movies that are more or less picked at random, and the user specified themes have been disabled.

Please go ahead and try it out if you've got a Honeycomb tablet - thanks!!

Bring on the updates, this app can only get better. Skipped the lite and went straight to the paid. Just to add, would be great if the widget would allow you to flip through all the available movies but not sure how that would play on the resources

By the looks of the screenshots it looks as though you've put a great deal of work into this, Im impressed, really slick. You deserve praise indeed. Like Metastable if I had a tablet, I would be buying this app.

Just downloaded to my Acer Iconia and it is an amazing looking app. Wonderfully designed interface. I downloaded the trial and have a question. Does the paid version read the files from the sd card (called external sd card on Iconia) or the usb drive that can be attached to it? The internal memory is actually called sd card. Kind of weird.

Thanks - much appreciated! I was actually thinking about doing that, but my main issue is indeed the memory resources. 10 movies take up around 3 MB of memory, which is quite a lot. I'll maybe add it or somehow improve the widget with more customization options. :)

Thanks a lot! None of the versions currently support scanning the external memory, but it's coming! The reason is that there's no official way to get the external directories, and each manufacturer is using their own naming convention (i.e. "Removable/sdcard" and "mnt/external1").

Cheers guys and thanks so much!

Please consider submitting this to the portal :)

Hey guys

Just wanted to let you know that I've released an update, which adds support for external SD cards. Here's the change log:

Version 1.2.5 (July 25)
  • Added support for external SD cards
  • Added a new theme (Wallpaper Theme)
  • Minor bug fixes

If you're using the Lite version, you may not notice the added support though. The application prioritizes the internal memory, so if you've got eight or more movies on the internal memory, you won't be seeing any files from the external SD card.

Also added a new theme in the paid version, which will use your current wallpaper as the application background.

I've just uploaded it, so it may take a few minutes for it to appear on Android Market - please be patient :)

Hope you'll like it!



Some hours later:

I found a few bugs based on the errors I've received in the Android Market Developer Console, and I've fixed two of the three errors. The third... Well, I can't seem to reproduce it no matter how hard I try. It's basically a NullPointerException in my search algorithm and I can't understand why it's happening. I'll continue working on it, but for now I'm sorry if you're affected by this bug.

Version 1.2.6 has been uploaded to fix bugs.

I just bought the app, so far so good. However I have a question, I already have metadata for all my movies in XBMC format, is there a way to import the metadata? I am in Afghanistan on a really crappy sat connection (think slower than dial up) and would prefer to just bring over this data if possible.

Thanks

Hey, thanks a lot!

I'm planning on adding a manual override ({moviename}.nfo in the same folder as the video). Can you please post an example of the format your metadata is stored in?

Thanks


@For those of you experiencing crashes
I'm working on something to fix it. Based on the two reports I've received for the paid version, it appears to be memory issues. I've done a lot to ensure that the application isn't leaking memory, and my version of the application is only taking up 22 MB of the allowed 48 MB heap size with 25 movies in the database, so I'm not too sure what's causing these issues. Could be something you've got running in the background. I will, however, try to improve the memory management. Disabling the special themes and sticking with the "Dark theme" may help, as this one doesn't use a special bitmap background resource.

Ive been looking for something like this for a while now. Glad to see someone finally did it. Thanks for the hard work. I will try it out.

Thanks a lot - please let me know what you think :)

If you're experiencing any bugs, please be patient. I've fixed quite a few in the current development version, although they're quite hard to come by :)

    Hi guys :)

    Version 2.0 of Mizuu has been published to Google Play, and it's the result of almost a year's work with hundreds - if not thousands - of changes, ranging from minor to major ones. Here are some of the highlights:

    • A completely new visual style
    • Added support for network devices using Samba (CIFS/SMB protocol)
    • Added support for Android 4.1+ and leveraged many of the new possibilities
    • Added experimental support for Google TV devices
    • More - and better - widgets
    • Significantly increased the speed and accuracy of movie and TV show updates

    Please see www.mizuu.tv for all the changes. As always, the application can be downloaded on Google Play.

    Next version will be version 1.6.5.3, and will fix a few bugs that I unfortunately introduced in version 1.6.5.2 when trying to fix something else.

    It'll also include a rather slick video player, which is basically a replacement for the default Honeycomb player, that supports subtitles in standard .srt format. It looks really good right now!

    Cheers,
    Michell
