I have several movies on a drive hooked into my Android TV box and Im looking for an app similar to "Movie Browser HD" without needing the internet to update the movie titles and information. I have all the movie information saved on the movie file itself including artwork and description. This was done with Media Monkey. Since the Android version of Media Monkey is pretty much junk. I need to find a program with a layout like "Movie Browser HD" that reads the existing track tags saved on the movie.
I have tried several other movie cataloging programs however, when it comes to TV episodes they display each episode as if it were a movie.
Any help would be great!

I recently purchased both a Xoom Tablet and the Xperia Play phone. With the phone I received the Media Go media management software which I am really loving as a replacement to iTunes. One thing I have always really liked about iTunes was the way it stored and sorted video files, being able to separate them into Movies, TV Shows, Video Clips and then sort shows down into Series and Season as well. With Media Go I am able to do this as well and I can easily sync the video files onto my Xoom Tablet right from Media Go.
My question is, are there any video player/management apps for Xoom which would carry this organization over as well? Something that would separate Movies from TV Shows and then let me select a given TV Show and see Season and Episode numbers as well or have subfolders for each season?
Does anyone know whether having video flagged as a music video has different functionality on the windows phone than regular video files? Obviously it is nice that you can choose to see just music videos in the Zune music . But here are a few things that would be useful...
Having music videos play when the screen is off
Having a playlist of music videos
Having the video start from the beginning every time, rather then where it left off
Also, does anyone know of a utility on the Windows platform to change the "music video" flag?
I don't believe WP7 treats "music videos" any different from normal videos. If you want just the music (play in the background, make playlists, etc.), then using music video files (which are huge, plus require a lot more RAM and battery to decode) is silly. There are tools that can extract the audio tracks from a video file, allowing you to save them just as audio files, if or some reason you don't have the audio file already. It's been years sisnce I used any such tools though; a web search will help you more now than I can with finding them. As for the "music video" identifier, it's probably just a metadata tag on the file. Windows Explorer should be able to edit it just fine; right-click the file, go to Properties, then Details, and remove the tag.
I am looking for an app that can play both photos and videos in the same playlist from a presentation standpoint so I can hook my tablet up next to a TV and have it stream both to the TV.
Right now the Gallery can do photos and MX Player can do Videos, but I need something that can do both in the same play list. Anyone have any ideas?

So you're basically looking for a media server? I use Twonky. Check out the description, but it should match what you are looking for.
I have only once used the app to stream (via WiFi) a movie from my tablet to a TV and it worked fine. I also have Twonky running on my NAS as a permanent media server to serve all my devices that are connected to my home network.
I will look into it, but not looking to have this need to be over a server.
I am looking for something to simply play a slide show that can go from photos, to video, to photos, etc and have all the files on my tablet and not stored remotely.

I think I confused you. Twonky is just that, it runs on your tablet so the TV (or any compatible media play device) can play/display the files you allow it to access. Twonky will turn your tablet into a media server.
I was only explaining that I have used it only once on my tablet. This was to watch a video that I had on my tablet on a TV via WiFi. So I was not using a HDMI cable to hook my tablet to the TV, which is something different. In addition I tried to explain that I use Twonky for the exact same purpose at home, just not on the tablet, but on a NAS.
I see apps for Twonky Mobile, Beam, Video, etc on there. Which one should I use to display these on my tablet in a playlist/slideshow. I will be attached via HDMI.
It doesnt seem to allow me to put both a video and a photo into the same play list... is that correct?
I think what the OP is looking for is a single application that can play both audio and video content within.
Try QuickPic, its a gallery application similar to the stock Gallery, but can play video as well (says standard video on the page).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
If you want to create a 'playlist' of sorts, you could create a folder and put your files (pictures, video) inside of it. It should come up as a folder in QuickPic. I'm not sure about the ordering however, you'll have to play with that. Possibly alphabetical, or date modified.
Take a look at BubbleUpnp.
It's a dlna app, and the paid version lets you set up your device as a renderer or a library. Set your phone as the server/library, set your TV as the renderer, et voila...
I've tried loads of options, and this is by far the most comprehensive.
You even have the option to subscribe to a cellular based protocol...
Hello,
Let me present my first app. There are 2 versions Free and Pro.
Description:
MovieFlow will scan your NAS, media hard drive and generate a good looking movie library.
Movie informations (actors, synopsis, poster ...) will be downloaded and saved so that you can view your movie library without being connected.
With sorting by genres, release date sorting, select in a few seconds your tonight movie.
You can follow the now showing and the coming soon movies on the main screen.
You can play directly the trailer or your movie in streaming.
THE application that every cinemaniac need to have to help them with the hundred movies dispatched on several hard drive.
Download available on the market : play.google.com/store/search?q=movieflow
or on my web site www . movieflow.net
Dont' hesitate to give me your opinion.
Looks good, checking out now. :good:

Hi,
Just got my S7 Edge in the post today
and coming from/abandoning IOS
i feel a little out in the blue
I have been using the Infuse Media app for ios for a long long time
and for me it feels like that app got everything.
"https://firecore.com/infuse"
what's important for me that i'm looking for is the following
- Play media from NAS/network storage.
- Subtitle support (online and saved subtitles locally).
- Download files/videos from network storage/NAS.
- Chromecast support (maybe AirPlay too)
- Swipe fastforwarding option.
dose anyone know any media app that is identical to the Infuse one i've been using with these functions?
it would be of great help for a new android/samsung user.
Kodi seems to be the most popular alternative for infuse. I haven't used it myself but worth giving it a shot.
Kodi or Plex will give you full media player capability. I just use File Manager HD to browse my NAS, and view thru MX player, which allows substtitles to be downloadsled. When playing thru a NAS, the filename received by MXplayer isnsome weird coded thing, so MX can't automatically locate subtitles, I just enter the name manually and it gets me the subs I need.
You should try the MX Player app. According to me this is the best video player for Android.
I have also migrated from ios recently and kodi is what you are looking for.It's the best on Android.
