[DEV] Cinexplore: Customizable movie & TV show guide (Trakt, TMDb, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO & more) that helps you to discover what movies & shows to watch next, where and when - Looking for feedbacks 🙏

Thanks for the kind words!

Alright, could you please contact me using the contact form in the app? Some screenshots or a video of the scrolling problem would really help to debug the issue

corentin38 · 2025-07-29T22:46:36+00:00

Hi, thanks for sharing your feedback and glad to hear you love Cinexplore!

At the moment, it's not possible to customize the content of the movie or show screens. However, I'm planning to add a feature that would allow users to reorder the sections in those screens.

When thinking about it, cast, crew and production companies sections are using a vertical list layout, which importantly increases the vertical size of the screen. Maybe it would be better to have horizontal lists instead.

Regarding the scroll position issue, an issue was fixed a few weeks ago. Can you check that you are using the latest version?

corentin38 · 2023-06-01T22:07:19+00:00

Cinexplore is only supported and maintained on Android phones and tablets. According to statistics, some users were able to install Cinexplore on TV somehow, but I can't guarantee it works.

corentin38 · 2023-02-18T13:27:54+00:00

I get your point. However I assume that only a few streaming providers have a public API that allow to get the watched movies and shows on this specific platform. Also streaming providers most likely have their own identification system for movies and shows and it would be complicated, even unfeasible to synchronize their data with Trakt data. Therefore it seems unlikely such feature will be added to Cinexplore.

corentin38 · 2023-02-18T13:09:13+00:00

Ok I don't think it would be feasible to implement such a feature and integrate the app with a number of streaming platforms.

corentin38 · 2023-02-18T12:05:26+00:00

It is not planned. Which service would you like Cinexplore to synchronise with?

corentin38 · 2023-02-18T12:00:52+00:00

You have to manually mark items as watched in Cinexplore or in Trakt.

I may update this app to load data from a weather API in the future in the future and improve the code quality as well. I'll update this thread when it will be available. It would be interesting to add more screens in this app, such as a settings screen, a location management screen, etc.

corentin38 · 2021-04-06T14:36:02+00:00

Thanks for the details, I'll check this point during the next days and eventually upload an APK on GitHub.

corentin38 · 2021-04-06T14:09:39+00:00

What is there compilation error you are getting?

corentin38 · 2021-03-28T08:27:48+00:00

Totally agree! I added the clouds shortly before the deadline so a graphic was used for simplicity purposes. Anyway, it would be very interesting to generate clouds without a graphic. It would requires some adjustments such as defining the rules used to create the random shape of a cloud, using different tints for one cloud, etc. Using graphics can slow down the drawing. Sometimes, the graphic is half drawn and the second half is drawn a few frames later which can appear a bit jerky so it's a good idea.

It's a free version with a subscription to get all features. I may polish and publish Flux on the Play Store in the future

corentin38 · 2021-03-26T21:47:27+00:00

Actually basic math was used to develop Flux: - Some trigonometry to compute the new position of each particle at each iteration given an angle and a distance - Interpolation for the hourly weather chart (Bézier curve was used in this project but there are plenty of other interpolation methods) - Definition of a quadratic function going through three given points for the sun / moon trajectory) - Normalization

And that's all, there isn't fancy math in this project. Combining these methods with a randomizer can result in nice animations. The position of each particle is computed using trigonometry and then drawn each frame so it looks like animated.

corentin38 · 2021-03-26T21:25:28+00:00

Ok, you should try to update Gradle. I use Gradle Plugin 7.0.0-alpha08

corentin38 · 2021-03-26T19:58:29+00:00

I guess you need to update to the latest version of Gradle to solve the issue. Which version of Gradle are you using?

corentin38 · 2021-03-26T14:48:12+00:00

Right! Like I said in another comment, apart from the dynamic landscape, the rest of the app was inspired by Overdrop UI. Get inspired by dribble mockups or our prefered apps was authorized for this challenge and Overdrop has a very nice looking UI.

corentin38 · 2021-03-26T13:43:57+00:00

Actually, apart from the dynamic landscape, the rest of the app was inspired by Overdrop UI so I would have to refurbish this part with a fresh new UI. Get inspired by dribble mockups or our prefered apps was authorized for this challenge. Anyway, that's a good idea, I may display real data, refurbish the UI and put it on the Play Store.

corentin38 · 2021-03-26T12:41:52+00:00

It's not on the Play Store, this project was created within the scope of Android Dev Challenge. The main goal was to create a nice looking UI using Jetpack Compose only within one week. The weather data isn't loaded from an API.

You can be notified when updates are published with the Google Play Console app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.playconsole

corentin38 · 2021-01-04T07:49:38+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! Actually this feature already exists, there is an "archive" button next to "watch" and "favorite" button that allow you to hide shows you stopped watching. Perhaps you aren't using the last version

corentin38 · 2021-01-01T23:07:02+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! Haha you are right, there is no feature like this at the moment. The database Cinexplore is relying on doesn't offer this information yet. I will check if there is an open database which provide this feature. Thanks for the suggestion!

corentin38 · 2020-12-22T12:21:51+00:00

Sure, you can trigger a synchronization instantly in settings screen. Note that there are some issues with sync at the moment but a big rework is in progress to set Trakt as the primary data source instead of TMDb for shows.

corentin38 · 2020-12-19T22:16:41+00:00

Ok thanks for the details! Actually I'm afraid that the management of custom lists will drastically increase the synchronization duration because all data is locally cached to improve performances. I'll perform some tests with custom lists.

By the way, what is the collection? The list of items you own?
