What does "Realtime Cover" do?

When "Realtime cover" is enabled, the cover images are loaded realtime. This will result in a slower collection browsing, but the covers will be visualized immediately. When it is disabled, browsing your collection will be fast, but the cover art will only be visible after a few milliseconds (depending on iPhone version, ...).

What does "Regenerate Coverflow" do?

Users of Movies 1.x might had issues with the CoverFlow view after upgrading to Movies 2.0. This option regenerates all coverflow-caches. As this is a time-consuming and CPU-heavy process, you should only execute this process when CoverFlow is showing wrong/bad images.

How do I backup my movie collection?
  • Movies: check our tutorial
  • Movies HD: check our tutorial
  • Movielicious: use the File > Export.. to make a backup and File > Import.. to restore from a previously made backup

The backups can be interchanged with each other (i.e. you can make a backup in Movies HD and import it in Movielicious and vice versa).

What are "Data Sources"?

When you add a new movie to your collection, you can add it by (i) typing a title and selecting the title which matches your movie, (ii) scanning a barcode or (iii) by editing all fields manually. When (i) or (ii) are applied, a data source is contacted in order to fetch as many movie details as possible (cover, runtime, actors, ...).

We try to provide as many datasources as possible, but if you want your specific datasource to be added, feel free to contact us to investigate about the possibilities - or provide us with a PHP script which fetches movie details given a title.

What does "Links in Safari" do?

When a weblink is tapped within the movie details (i.e. you tap on the URL field), that link is launched. The link is either launched within a webpage in Movies (in case "Links in Safari" is off) or is given to Mobile Safari (which causes Movies to exit, but gives you a greater browsing experience).

What is "Default Media" and "Default Location"?

As the name implies, these values are used whenever you add a new movie to your collection and when that information cannot be retrieved from the data source.

What are "Ignore Words"?

When your movie list is ordered by title, you might want to have "A Nightmare on Elm Street" be listed just before "Nightwatch" - i.e. you want the starting "A" to be ignored when sorting by title.

The "Ignore Words" section is a list of words (by default: A, An and The) which are ignored when sorting by Title.

What are "View Modes"?

Movies has 2 major view modes: Shelf and List.

  • Shelf mode lists your movies as if they reside on a physical shelf
  • List mode lists your movies in a classical iPhone list. Within list mode, not only the movie title is shown, but you can select the subtitle you want to be displayed (Year, Runtime, Location, Genre, Media, Director, ...)
What does "Sorting" do?

Choosing a different sorting option results in the movie list being ordered in a different way.

When Title is the sorting method, Movies not only lists your collection in alphabetical order, it also shows a quick-list on the right-hand-side which allows to browse even faster through your library.

The other sorting methods are straightforward.

What does the "Theme" option do in [Settings]?

It allows to choose a different theme for the Movie app. Currently, Movies offers 5 themes: Charcoal, Metal, Wood, Classical White and Classical Black.

What does "Show Title" do?

If enabled, it shows the movie title below the movie cover.
