MyPreMovie.com has launched!

Congratulations! Looks pretty good. Is there a way to stop the slideshow or trailers early and jump right to the end?

Can't seem to register. Every time I try, I get this:

Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.


Tried many different passwords (some 7, some 8, some 12. some with 1 number, some with 2, some with up to 4) and I always get that message.

Good start I am going to try it out. And I noticed your in AL as well.

Same problem with password (using an 8 char + 1 numeric password), but won't let me register.

I don't see a coming soon picture.

It might help if there were some general instructions somewhere on the site. I know you had a thread here somewhere, but I never got the chance to really read it. I'm guessing that after downloading, you need to take files that are already on your computer (stills or trailers) and import them into it? Step by step instructions somewhere might be a help to people, as well as maybe having an example that they can view

I am assuming this is for a HTPC. It uses XPMCE or Vista. Is there a way to use this and stream it to an Xbox360 using it's extender capability? If I can I will definitely use this!

I am not sure if you prefer comments to be made in this thread or on the My PreMovie site. However, here are my findings so far:

Cannot close without Task Manager when in operation. This was possible before.

Feature Presentation is still in. Would like to use my own.

Under closing, the choices don't seem to work. The first choice does not fade but returns to desktop and then shows the external player. In V3 the transition was seamless. Neither the desktop nor external player screen was seen. Sometimes received unhandled exception.

On start up, the volume is off in player. Have to manually set each time. How can I set this to remain on?

"Volume control is being researched, too. Which section did you have volume problems with?"

Under Trailers using player's controls, the trailer plays but no sound as the volume control on the control starts at its lowest point. When raised the sound comes in ok.

Without the player's control ticked, the trailer plays with no sound but the volume cannot then be raised.

I also noticed that there are white fluttering lines between trailers.

Indicated previously:

Horizontal Lines.

How about the issue - after the feature presentation screen (which I believe you will adjust), my external player (WinDVD) screen is seen. Is it possible for this not to be seen, making the change seamless?

Thanks for your response.

I do launch WinDVD in full screen mode but from trailers the desktop is seen, then the player, then the smaller screen, then full screen (all WinDVD),then movie.

Have not tried the tickets as I have been working on the above. Will try shortly and provide feedback. However it would be nice to have a choice.

Under Slideshow and Trailers (Folder Selection) can you add to allow a selected number of slides and trailers? As it is, if you have say 20 items, it will play all 20. The idea is to provide the choice of playing any number less than that in the folder.

Thanks for your response. Look forward to the next release. When you do get the opportunity, could you put the "seamless" issue on your to do list?

SuperTal, this is awesome! My old PMM is running kind of flaky!
Thanks for making this!
I sent you a donation.

One Question...for pre-movie manager I've programmed girder with a command to escape the slideshow and start the trailers (I believe it's just an escape key pressed during the slideshow)...is there any kind of similar function in mypremovie?
I can't always set it up to loop slideshow until a time, because I usually don't start the movie at a certain time.

What's up? How is the computer? Hope My PreMovie is not dead.

I eval'ed it and it would be difficult for me to use.

Resons:

1) Attempting to use the option to specifiy a slide directory in which to look for files does not work of that directory contains a space in the name.

2) Trying to use the individual file option will NOT preserve ordering for group-selecting files. It instead default to alphabetical. My slide are named with a first letter of "Q" or "A" for Question and Answer, respectively. The only way to get the program to use a specific file order is to add them one at a time. With over 400 slides, that was not an option.

3) The trailer preview (in .wmv format) did not scale to full screen despite the box being checked.


It looks like a nice program, and I'd like to find something to replace my surrent picture playlist in Media Player. Perhaps as this program develops further I'll look again. I can certainly consider renaming the slides if need be...

I'd be able to use it, if it had the "esc" key to exit slideshow feature..if you add that I'll definitely use it!!

I can't get a preview of the movie ticket I made to work. It is just a blank space there.

Hi, Lathan, I asked Tal for the same feature, otherwise I cannot use it.
It'd be a really great replacement for PMM if it could end with an ESC or jump to end

Hey....Yeah SuperTal...It works fine now. Thanks! That is pretty cool. My daughters 5th Birthday is next week. I may use this! :-)

Have a great 2008. Looking forward to the next release.
