Triggered by questions like "Using EMDB on my big screen TV I can't read the plot outline" and "can you add a keyboard shortcut for this and that as we use EMDB to play my media files on our TV in the living room" I decided to create a new feature: TV Mode. It shows a full screen graphical overview of your movies with boxart, backdrop and media properties. You can browse your movies and TV Shows including seasons and episodes. It's designed to show on big full HD wide screens but all resolutions are supported. It's designed to be controlled by keyboard (or even better a infrared USB receiver mapping remote control buttons to keystrokes).

New in EMDB 4.00 (Mar 13, 2021)

  • Scrapers: You can now configure EMDB to use IMDb or TheMovieDb as main data source.
  • Both have advantages and disadvantages.
  • TheMovieDb has localized plot outlines, artwork and trailers and holds more (obscure) movies and better cast photos, even for non-American actors / actresses.
  • IMDb combines movies and TV Series in searches, has more data for movies, more genres, IMDb top 250 and lists more certifications for different countries.
