Cool Movie Browser - User's guide

At startup the application is browsing the configured folders for movies (in case you added or deleted some) in order to display an actualized list.

There are 3 areas that compose the application:
- top toolbar
- movie list
- bottom toolbar.

1. Top Toolbar

The top toolbar contains the main action buttons and the search control.

The action buttons are:
- Refresh, for launching the movie discovery task
- Search, to search for the movies that contain the typed text in their names.
- All, after a search action to display the all movies list
- Settings, to launch the settings dialog.
- Info, to display the version of the application
- Home, to go to the home web page for more information.



2. Movie List

Displays the movies in 2 modes:

- detailed mode: image + movie name + folder location in a list layout.

- matrix mode: image in a matrix layout to quickly identify your movie in case of big list.

On this list we can execute some actions, allowed by the popup menu, which is displayed by right-clicking on a movie.

So, we can perform the following actions:
- play the selected movie
- rename the selected movie
- change the image for the movie, by choosing another one from your computer
- delete image, so we can then "Refresh" and try to discover another one  (usually this an action that follows the rename movie one).
- delete movie from your hard-drive (careful with it, 'cause we cannot undo it).


3. Bottom Toolbar

The bottom toolbar was explained in the section related with the "Playlists - part 1"


4. Sport Live TV screen

This  screen contains a simple list of links for the live games, and at the bottom we have provided a web player, where the web page is loaded and the stream player is displayed.

There is simple toolbar with 3 buttons (4 for trial):
- 1. stop the selected game
- 2. display the "Other" sports page
- 3. show home page Cool Movie Browser.
- 4. button "buy now" available for trial version, is opening the store page of the application.

The list of shows is for the current day, and usually is quite dynamic, so if you use the tool for long time, then from time to time is recommended to refresh the list by clicking on the "Refresh" button.

5. Online Live TV

This screen contains, like the one from the point 4, a simple list of links for the "online TV"s, and at the bottom there is a web browser, which will be used to load the live stream, from Internet, for the selected show.

The toolbar and the usage are exactly the same like explained previously at the point 4.



Note: In trial version the web page is periodically reseted to the home page at every 2 minutes.
