Hello there, i've been programming few days ago, a program that will maybe change the way we watch movies in streaming?
Well, i just had this idea long time ago, but started working on it when a friend wanted me to do so, and he helped me a little bit by telling suggesting me things and others.
I used some request based API's (such as imdbapi & omdbapi) to search movies and to ge all information about them. So can you guys tell me what you think about this, and what are you suggesting me to add?
This is not going to be open-source.
And here are some early pictures:
Welcome menu, where you get all the news about movies and all these things.

The Search tab, it's still very wip, but it's working.

So as you can see, it's buggy and has a lot of work to do, i used threads for searching movies (downloading XML and reading them).
The whole thingy is made in C# using a Windows 8 UI Framework called MetroFramework or something.
You do realize that [url=http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/]iMovie is already the name of a fairly well-known thing[/url], right?
why not open source?
@Robmaister12, thanks for the information, i didn't knew taht x|
I'll change it asap.
@supersnail, i think that i will add some fees on it like the movies 50 min limits or something like that. So that's why it's not open source for the moment, but as i said, i still think, if i will not do that, i'll make it open source.

Lol, trying to limit a C# app.
You're a funny guy.

I don't see what's wrong with that.

C# can be decompiled very easily.

The woes of a "CLI" language.
Obfuscation is possible and can be effective, regular binaries can be disassembled very easily with a tool like IDA, nothing is perfect.
Are you saying you want to establish your own video on demand service, or where are your streams gonna come from?

You realize it's illegal to profit from other peoples copyrighted work, right?

I was wondering too where the content was going to come from. If the users have it anyway that's fine but there are already plenty of tools that do this.
Otherwise you'd either have to negotiate with a streaming provider or buy expensive streaming licenses.
As i said, i'm not sure if i'm going to add fees on it. And by what you guys come to say, i won't add. For the streaming system, i'll make my own that will be searching for a movie on purvid ou mixturecloud and others.

That's still very shady, you can get into trouble just by providing the links in some countries, even more so if you write a program whose main purpose is making watching pirated films more convenient.

So if all it does is search for and stream movies from a website, why not just use the website?

There are few things worse than most video hosting sites' user experiences :v:

Not to mention charging for it.

First off, it's probably illegal to direct people to illegal content. An application dedicated to doing only that is a big no-no.
Second, [I]charging[/I] for it is an even bigger no-no. This application sounds good on paper but it's not a good idea if you want to stay in the legitimate zone. I wouldn't suggest discussing your progress on it much, some might look down upon it and some might not.
Oh well, i won't do the streaming thingy xD I'll just put trailers, i'll just make the app show new films as well as search movies and that's it. Like, if you are bored, and wanted to watch film, no need to go to google and search, you will get into the app dicretly.

Make sure you get the license for the trailer source right. If you embed YouTube videos in a web browser control you should be safe, as that respects the settings on the video. It's likely there's still some special requirement for embedding the player in software other than a website though.

I don't think it would be that bad, you can call into JavaScript to some extent and it should be mostly seamless if the size matches the embedded content.
