I am looking for an app that let's me view my local video collection in a usable way.
I've been using MXPlayer, which is not bad, but I would like the thumbnails to be larger.
I did try Archos Video Player, which has a great interface and scrapes, allowing you to associate fanart and descriptions and stuff, but what I didn't like was 1) it was scanning my entire hard drive, and I only wanted to select certain folders (it's possible to remove video from library, but I don't want to do this one by one), and to a lesser extent 2) it wasn't easy to correct the fanart/titles (a video I had named "wedding" was linked to a movie by the same name). But at the same time as cataloguing my local movies, I also want to be able to have a nice overview of my home-/cellphone-videos.
Ideally what I'd like:
- Folder support: show/hide, look in folders, etc
- Easy scraping (automatic and manual)
- Viewing progress
- Sorting options (genres, name, etc)
- Parental lock (via PIN or something)
- Nice interface with decent size thumbnails which make good use of the real estate: I don't want to see only 5 movies at a time and have to scroll forever. maybe also seeing a preview like some video apps/sites have, as if they were animated GIFs, especially useful for personal content (cell videos) which maybe doesn't have a meaningful name
- Import/Export settings, or somehow to back them up
Any suggestions?
Plex. Kodi is also good but a bit daunting for some
