OMG just want I've been looking for all these years

Tongue Yeah I know platanito. I've loved that site ever since I was tipped off about it a few months back. I strongly feel xbmc should use a site like that to fetch artwork or at least as an option. It's nice how all of the artwork is at least 1000px and almost always 1500px tall, and perfect has crops/scans. Enjoy Smile

Damn!! I've been spending the last weekend's nights Effing around with google to get all my music artwork upgraded. This one is great! thanx for the tip. Now I have to start all over again. ;-)

Hy
i'm just looking every screenshot and i'm asking a question. I saw the IMDB note in Big.
I'm sorry but i'm not agrea with imdb. For me the reference is Metacritic.com
For example "Doomsday" in IMDB 6.1/10 and on Metacritic 51/100.
I saw this movie and hum ... 51/100 not more ...
What do you think ?

I think all these score aggregators are shit and that people should form their own opinions, especially when it's their own bloody film collection. Still, they're useful for idle-minded acquisitions people who can at least count to ten and tell the difference between gaudy colours. The only one I vaguely trust is Rotten Tomatoes, and that's because they actually focus on the review text rather than the score.

People like the imdb rating, though, so there it is.


- smcnally75 - 2009-02-16 20:22

I agree...who really cares what a movie in your personal collection was rated. If you like it you like it, if you don't you don't...who cares what others think?

IMHO it is a sacrilege to change Aeon Stark into a version for a system which is not a competitive HD platform.


Oh Please!

The Xbox is about as dead as your browsing skills! Take a look round the forum the biggest percentage of XBMC users are still running Xbox!


Looks awesome djh! Cool


- Arkon11 - 2009-02-17 01:26

I do not the think the xbox is dead by any stretch, but I do think more and more users are migrating to HTPC's that support HD content. I like that Stark is being deveolped with HTPC's in mind, but I'm sure someone will optimize it for the xbox crowd (which I'm apart of myself... though hopefully not for to much longer Big Grin )

Oh and thanks strangedaze39 for the link to the cover art site. It's phenonal and just what I was looking for. It has many covers in better quality than freecovers.net, which is a pay to use service (for the highquality uncompressed covers)

Just a quick and simple suggestion:

I think it would look better if there were stars instead of just a number in the IMDB rating (in the fullscreen poster screenshot of Wanted). You could fill the stars representing the ratting and leave stars outlines for the others.

I know that with a number, it's more precise and all that, but the rating location looks so empty compared to all the other content. Other than that, stars would like nicer than just a number, personal taste though.

What do you think?

I'm not looking for feature requests. Sorry.
