Thanks a lot!

I am thinking about creating an app with both movies and TV shows included, but it's just a thought for now. Will need to make a separate app first to see how if it's possible and how it works.

Different views are coming :) reviews seem to be a great idea!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DiscipleDOC:
Hey Michell, I love this app...but is there a way that I can manually add a movie? I tried to do another search, and the search removed my movies that I had to manually edit the titles to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hey, thanks! Well, no. You can't add videos manually, as the automated search should find all videos on your device.

If you use the "Update" feature within the app, it'll - by default - only search for new files. If you check the checkbox, it'll wipe the database and do a completely new search for all files.

Hope that helped. Otherwise, please try clearing the data using the OS settings and try reinstalling it.

Cheers :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] DiscipleDOC:
Thanks, I'll try that. Good work on this app. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jwilliamf:
Just to say WOW!!!

Great F$%^&^& Job!!!!

Really, really good!

Thank you!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wollyka:
working great for now :)

I noticed that when i click on a movie to see its details, the background changes to reflect the cover art. However, if i am not connected to the internet , the background doesn't change meaning it is always pulling the image from the net. Can the background images be cached?

Thanks

Edit: Version 1.5 on Prime 1.7 (HC 3.2)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Thanks! :)

Thanks a lot! Well, in theory they could be cached, but it's quite a bit of space it'll take up. Guess I could add it as an opt-in, though. The displayed images are random though, so you'll lose that feature.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AstroTrain:
This program has problems, I can't even get past the setting up library page. It freezes at the last movie when trying to verify . . .

If it can't find the movie meta data then it should ignore it and set up the movies it can scrape but it tries to search forever. I don't even know what movie is causing the issue. What scraper is this thing using? Thumbs down until this is fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Check your filenames, I'll bet you they're not correct. And it DOES skip the movie (or rather create a blank entry with the filename) if no match was found.

The "scraper" is TMDb, just like the big boys XMBC and Boxee are using. It's the exact same thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jwilliamf:
ok, here is a problem I'm having. If my 32gb microsd card is in(that is where my movies are) the app FC, BUT, If i removed the 32gb microsd the app work perfect. If I tried a different sdcard, (8gb with no movies) it work.

I already formated the 32gb many time and once I put the card in, the app FC.

I think there was a bug on grid view and was getting the FC. The update fixed. Thank you!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tirges:
Hi, I really like your initiative.

Being used to XBMC I really missed something like this on my tablet :-)

However, through XBMC I am also used to having my movie names be scraped from the folder name, thus I can leave the filenames as they are originally (this helps with identifying it when looking for subtitles for instance)...

You think you can implement this?

f.i.

\Movies\

Oranges and Sunshine (2010)\

lap-oran.avi

lap-oran.English.srt

Another Movie (2009)

.......

Also it takes quite long to rescan when just having added one movie in a new subfolder of my movies folder on my microSD. It would save quite some time if I could choose just letting the app rescan only my designated \Movies\ folder...

Final note, I don't like having all the movie posters show up in my gallery, can you put a [ .nomedia ] file there, or would it screw up the working of the app?

For the rest, I'm glad I bought it, and I'm looking forward to the Series version

cheers!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hi, thanks a lot!

I might add the folder name identification, but it's a rather large change for now, so it's not a priority.

User-defined source folders are coming.

And yes - I'll be sure to do that in the next release. Sorry about that :)

Cheers and thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ugadroid:
Won't find any of my movies. I've tried moving them from my sdcard to the internal hard drive and still won't find them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hi!

It doesn't matter where your files are, as long as you've set the folder(s) as your file source(s). I'm guessing your files are in .avi format - have you enabled support for that format? There's an option in the app settings to do that. Mizuu Movies won't find those files by default, because the OS isn't capable of playing them without any third party applications.

Cheers,

Michell
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ugadroid:
Thanks. I did that and it still didn't find them but after I uninstalled and reinstalled it found them. :cool: Thanks for your help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Heh, sounds weird, but I'm happy that it worked for you in the end. Hope you'll like it! Cheers! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Anyone have a good spot to get movies from as the google video app does not have the best selection
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
I'm not quite sure what you mean, but this thread is not for discussing how to get movies, so please don't do that. Thanks :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Orkeren:
I'm really glad for the app! And I definitely love the first menu! Movies or TV-shows (especially "Patience, my young padawan.") ;)

When I try to open an .avi file (xvid codec) it says: "Sorry, this video cannot be played." And yes I have Moboplayer and the appropriate codec pack installed. And I can play the movie directly with Moboplayer.

And I've tried several movies:

*Fast.And.Furious.5.Rio.Heist.2011.Custom.DKsubs.NTSC.Xvid-Fejl40

*Hanna.2011.RETAiL.Custom.DKsubs.NTSC.Xvid-Fejl40

*Limitless.UNRATED.2011.Custom.DKsubs.NTSC.Xvid-Fejl40

and more... Though all of them are from the same release pack (Xvid-Fejl40).

And even though my signature states it I will write it here too:

I'm using stock rom 3.2 (HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816)

And is it intentional that after closing a movie started through the widget one ends in the gallery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
I honestly think your problems are caused by Moboplayer not being able to receive the video play broadcast properly or something else. My app is basically sending an intent (a broadcast) to the Android OS saying that it wants to play a video, and Android returns a list of video players. What happens from this point forward, has nothing to do with me, sadly. Moboplayer can be perfectly capable of playing files from itself, because it doesn't send the broadcast, instead it just launches the built-in video player. I don't have any problems using Moboplayer myself though.

Err, not intentional, but that's how it works right now :p I'm thinking about opening the app when pressing a movie from the widget, and then showing that movie's details view. How does that sound?

Cheers,

Michell
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ajamils:
That sounds like a great idea. You can just have a button on the movie screen to play movie.

Scribled on my Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Orkeren:
Well... That sounds quiet probably. So I will try using another media player. Works with MX Video Player :D

And the idea of opening the app from the widget sounds great! :)

Just wanted to give poeple some sweet screen shots from the app ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I've tried the Lite version and loved the app. I want to purchase the paid version.

But on Market I can't find the paid version. When I search for Mizuu I only find Mizuu Movies Lite.

Under that, I see the "Mizuu Movies" in "related" section and I can go through that path to the paid app. But then if I click to buy it, I get "the item you are trying to purchase is not available"

I live in a country where paid apps are not allowed by Google. However, I can find and buy other paid apps using "Market Enabler". Though with Mizuu that's not working.

Why can't I buy Mizuu from the Market ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hey!

Unfortunately, I have no idea. The application should be available in all countries that support paid apps via Market - I have not manually excluded any countries, so I'm guessing it's an error with Market :(

Cheers

Michell
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
You'll probably have to side load it then. Try HERE and download it from the web market.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mrmrmrmr:
that doesn't work for me because when I search it as Mizuu on web market, I only get "mizuu movies lite"

I can only access it with a direct link like:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.miz.mizuu

even with that direct address I can't purchase it. the page doesn't allow.

what else can I try ?

is there an app that can fake Market as if I am not from my original country ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] GeminiRx:
I like the app verry much.

I had no problems buying the app from in the app store.

My locationis The Netherlands.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Orkeren:
you could access the directlink through hidemyass.com or similar web-proxys ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Sorry, I simply don't know what the problem is. Like I said, I'm not excluding anyone and the application is for sale in all the countries with paid apps. :confused:

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it! Be sure to post a review on Market, if you've got a moment :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Is the widget limited to just 20 of the first titles? Why can't it be limitless? If it's a memory issue just after so many titles of flipping unload the old from memory and then load the next titles. Will this work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Yeah, it is. The widget has to load all the images when you create it, and there's no way to just load them they're needed. Bloody annoying actually, but the next version comes with a new widget that has a different approach.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Kewl... Can't wait. Love the app by the way. It's one of my favorites. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] xbs:
Great app!! I love it!! Reminds me of XBMC :) Keep up the good work!

Thank you!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:

You're very welcome :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I was curious if you can work in the option for us to optionally use our own movie covers? Some of my movies have the incorrect covers and this would be very convenient.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] curti.nogg:
I believe it has this option already. I'll edit my post later if I remember how it's done. Check the website FAQ.

Sent from my Captivate
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
All this time I've had it and I didn't know it did that. :eek: Thanks. I read the FAQs and found some other info I was curious about too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] milleirish:
Is there a way to your TV show show up on the widget? Only my movie covers show up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Good to hear, I'll try to make these "hidden" features more available in the future.

Yeah, it's coming :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] milleirish:
You are the man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
OK, now that I'm aware of how to change cover art by selecting the cover art itself, there seems to be no way to import or open a selection box so as to select my own cover art. I know where the cover art images are stored, presently is this the only way to insert our own artwork by replacing one of the files with another that has the same name? If so, strangely none of the four file explorers that I have will give me in the properties what the file dimensions are. Are there certain requirements for file dimensions or size limitations? Thanks. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hey!

You can use custom cover art in Movies, and TV show support will be added soon. The recommended size is 374 x 550 pixels.

There's a guide on it available here:

http://mizuu.tv/?qa_faqs=can-i-use-custom-movie-data

Cheers,

Michell
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Thank you. I would have sworn that I had read everything but I have not seen this red site faqs. Needless to say that it was there in front of me this whole time. I especially like the info on the actors/actresses, that is a nice touch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JLneonhug:
I've added a suggestion on your website for widget scrolling left/right to pan from movies to tv!

Thanks for the app,
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Cool, I'll have a look at it :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
How is the sorting order done? The reason I ask is because I have some movies that are sorted incorrectly. For instance, 'X2 - X-Men United' goes before 'X-Men - The Last Stand' but it's showing it backwards. Is there a way for us to change that or is that on your part. I've searched your FAQ's and found nothing about the sort order. I tried inserting the year into the file name thinking that would make it sort correctly but it didn't. If it's not available to us can you work it into one of your updates please. Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
There's a setting to use either ascending or descending sort. Ascending is the default one.

This is also the reason why "X2: X-Men United" comes before "X-Men: The Last Stand". It's being sorted correctly by the name of the movie. There's no way to sort by movie order.

I'm going to add functionality to edit everything manually in a future update - that'll perhaps help you.

Cheers,

Michell
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Thank you for helping. You provide super fast support of your app. I'm very impressed. Once again, great app! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Thanks a lot, always happy to hear this kind of feedback! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Update to Mizuu Movies today. WOW!! I'm impressed. New widget is bad ass. I like how it auto scrolls and now will be able to display all my titles. The new main layout is impressive too. Now when selecting a certain movie is gives a whole screen layout with even more information right off the bat. This is one of my favorite apps and it just got even better. Thanks Michell. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Great to hear, I'm happy you're enjoying it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wollyka:

Hey everyone :)

Just wanted to post a reference link to my Mizuu Movies application thread, which is found under the Android Apps / Games section: Mizuu Movies - XDA thread

The application has been developed for Honeycomb on the Acer Iconia A500, and should support all Honeycomb tablets. There's a free and a paid version of the application - would really appreciate it if you'd try it out!

FREE VERSION • PAID VERSION​

Thanks a lot! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] patass:
Force closes instantly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The_Tech_Ninja:
Works great for me running 3.2... Its an awesome application works as intended.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Really? That's strange. Can you please submit the error message? It's definitely not supposed to do that.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stevejau:
says it only supports mp4 and 3gp, I have all avi
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Yes, since Android doesn't support .avi files natively, I have not yet made it possible to use those files. But when I do, they will only be playable if you're using a custom video player as your default player.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nivram88:
This looks great! I've been waiting for an app like this, until now I've just been using a file manager app to pull up my movies. I definitely prefer this XBMC-like interface. I'll give the app a whirl when I get off work.

One request though, which would keep my from purchasing. I'd prefer the option to play the videos through an external video player. I know a lot of users already have their preference of video player (Rock player, mobo player, etc), but this could be a great interface to that. Most of my videos are divx or not natively supported by honeycomb, so this app wouldn't work for me as is. This would also let you focus more on the interface/theming and less on the codec support.

Anyway, keep up the good work! I'm sure this app will only improve, looking through your other thread in the developers forum it looks like you're very quick on the updates. I'll reply with more specific criticisms after I try it tonight.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hey, thanks for your comments!

The app already uses your default video player, so if you've set a third party player as your default player, that's what it'll use :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rabarkar:
Great work!

First let me say thanks for this beautifull work, we need these kind of applications.

Well, I have tried the free version in the market, it shows the screen with the boton to scan, as soon as I click it, the application dieds :(

If you need something from me to reproduce the error, please let me know, I will gladly cooperate in this project :)

Running in a Xoom tablet, Honeycomb 3.2
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Thanks a lot! :)

It's rather strange - Xoom seems to be causing a lot of issues. Anyway, I'd love for you to try v. 1.3.0, which I've just finished and is about to upload to Android Market. It brings a lot of fixes and new stuff :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rabarkar:
Waiting to test it!

Just waiting for it to be available, to install it and test it...

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
It should be out now :)

Version 1.3.0 (July 26)

Lots of bug fixes

Improved UI

Added support for lots of file formats

Two new themes

Support for SD card in Asus Eee Pad dock

Option to use filename as movie title if no match is found
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rabarkar:
It is alive!

You are the man!

Now is working, and I have to say, is awesome!

I've playing around a little, all is great, except when in the screen with movie information, when I click in the Identify button, it crashes again :(

Other thing I noticed is that there is one avi file which was detected and the begining, but after activating the support for other file types, it dissapear...

Great work! I will be using it :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Seems I didn't test it properly, as I'm experiencing the same error. I'll get a look at it right now!

Cheers! :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
I've just uploaded a fix - awfully sorry about that! :)

Please refer to v. 1.3.1 :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] nivram88:
I've downloaded 1.3.0, the full version. I start it up and click "lets roll!"... then seemingly nothing happens for 10 seconds, then it says no movies found. I definitely have movies in my /Movies/ folder, playable by rock player. Im on a 3g Xoom 3.1 connected to Verizon 3g.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Hey!

First of all - please update to v.1.3.1 :)

Secondly, is it possible that none of your files are in one of these formats?

".3gp", ".3gpp", ".mp4", ".ts", ".webm"

These are the formats that are supported by Android by default - if you want more formats, you'll have to enable it in the application settings, which isn't available untill you've completed the initial search.

If you can, please try renaming one of your 100+ MB files to one of the above mentioned extensions temporarily. Then search with Mizuu Movies, enter the Settings and check "Include non-supported file types". Once that's done, you can change the extension back to whatever it was before and do an update in Mizuu Movies :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rabarkar:
Fixed!

Fixed! :D

It seems everything is now working in my Xoom :)

Again, thanks for the effort and good work, definetly I will get the donate edition :)

Keep working on it!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jase33:
When I select use enhanced reflections it causes the app to force close. Using paid version 1.3.1.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stevejau:
downloaded new version to test again, no movies found, cannot see/find menu settings to search for other file types.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
Can you please try to recreate the error and send a crash report? It'd help greatly. Thanks!

There's actually nothing wrong with the app, it just doesn't scan for non-supported file types by default. I've added a check box in the upcoming version that'll allow you to specify this on the initial setup :)

EDIT: Added in v. 1.3.3, check it out!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stevejau:
Thanks heaps, still does not find anything, so I was wondering if the app only scans internal and not SD card where I have my movies.

Edit. Sorted it out. Have purchased full version. This has a lot of potential. Keep up the good work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MichellBak:
The newest update, v. 1.3.3, should fix any issues with .mkv, .avi, etc. files not being searched :)

Please try it out!
