[Announce] Butaca: bringing all your movie-related information to your Harmattan device
 

(Cross posted from MeeGo Forum)

DESCRIPTION

Butaca is an application which allows accessing a lot of movie-related information. It uses The Movie Database as a backend, and lets you:

• Browse movie genres
• Search for movies and people
• Shows title, rating, release date, overview and cast for movies
• Shows name, birthplace, date of birth, biography and filmography for people
• Allows keeping content as favorite (both movies and people)
• Allows sharing content using the system share interface
• Search movie showtimes now from within the application!
• Check what's on cinemas near you now from within the application as well!

I have contacted the people responsible for What's After the Credits and they have been kind enough to provide me with an API. I will add support for that, so soon you will be able to check for extras after and during the credits :)

SCREENSHOTS

The following screenshots show the welcome view with a favorite, movies under the comedy genre, the search view and the detailed person view. You can visit Butaca's set at my Flickr gallery to see the rest of the screen shots. A complete screencast is also available: MeeGo / Harmattan applications: Butaca 0.3.5 screencast

Do you have plans to port it to Maemo 5?

Re: [Announce] Butaca: bringing all your movie-related information to your Harmattan device
 

Can you integrate the points it received? Looks nice

While it's not a priority at the moment, I'd like to check and see how difficult it would be.

Thanks :). If you mean the movie rating, you can see it in this screenshot. I don't support rating the movie at the moment -I plan to do it-, but the current value is shown, with the number of votes between parenthesis.

Re: [Announce] Butaca: bringing all your movie-related information to your Harmattan device
 

I have butaca installed on my n900 maemo5 and operating normally portrait and landscape meego keyboard.etc

Re: [Announce] Butaca: bringing all your movie-related information to your Harmattan device
 

i have it too, but it doesn't have all the features, does it?

Re: [Announce] Butaca: bringing all your movie-related information to your Harmattan device
 

Just installed it too and trying it!
Thank you !

And I guess it has every feature as described in the first option...but I'll check further.

Re: [Announce] Butaca: bringing all your movie-related information to your Harmattan device
 

not everything, but, in fact, can be used. I mean, you do not even need much to get to these options that can be used normally as the Harmattan device, with this community and people from community
Thanks maemo
