Movie description in Theater View
« on: December 18, 2006, 10:40:37 pm »

I was playing around with MyMovies Database program and really like the way each movie has a descriptive summary you can read. This has been requested earlier, but I also would like to see something similar in Media Center. This would be helpful when friends are trying to make a decision as to which movie to watch.

I'd REALLY like to see this, as part of all the other improvements to Theater View I'd like.  Something that could automatically query IMDB and/or TV.com for information based on the [Name] and [Artist] tags from within Theater View (and display the info in a 10-foot compatible way).

Right now I use the new Send to --> External --> Web site functionality to look stuff up in IMDB and TV.com, but that is hard to read on the TV and only works in Standard View.

Right on Glynor! I also thought of asking for this type of information retrieval but didn't want to push the issue. ;D
