    Update It's been a while since I posted. I got busy during the summer with projects around the house, smart blinds, a BBQ temp controller and currently a "Season pass" application for the MediaMall Playlater software. The kaleidescape project is not dead, however it has changed a bit. Instead...

    Hey Everyone, I have a few things done and updated a new video for my clone. Currently working on a very lightweight embedded OS to run the application and that's consuming the most of my time. Still working on TV show integration. That's my next goal to get done. Since last time: *Better...

    Does anyone happen to know what font Kaleidescape uses? I figure I will ask before I just blindly start trying to match it. Thanks, Andrew

    New Update I will be posting a new video soon with progress. Included in this update are: - Multiple IR remotes. I have 2 IR remotes, one for main control and a child remote that when you push any button switches to covers view with only child appropriate movies. - New TV show view. There is...

    Thanks for the compliment Josh. And I have thought about improving upon the UI for TV Shows as I don't like the fact that every season has it's own cover. It seems dumb to me from a UI perspective. If I'm looking for a specific episode I don't want to keep going back and finding more season and...

    Fixed Scroll Hello guys, I finally got around to recording a new video. It's kind of like 1 step forward and 4 steps back right now so bare with me. I completely re-wrote the animation library allowing for ultra smooth and fast scrolling. I can now just hold an arrow key and scroll quickly...

    Another question for you guys. How does importing a TV Show work. Let's say I have the first season of the TV show 24. Let's say it's 6 disks. If I were to take the first disk and put it into the Kaleidescape player and import the disk what happens on the UI? When I go to select an episode, does...

    Hey another question for you guys. If you put a DVD into the drive that is not yet imported into your library, what happens if I'm in the covers view? I have seen a video where Kaleidescape recognizes the disk and pops up all the metadata with options to play the movie. Is there also an import...

    I have finished with my new animations library and I'm much happier with this one than my last one. It allows me to hold the button to keep scrolling instead of having to click each time for movie. It also allows me to change directions in the middle of scrolling one way. If I turned the app on...

    I don't think there will be a complete release of the project anytime soon. But I have debated building a tutorial series to create your own. Then everyone can have the knowledge to adapt it to whatever they want and add their own features. -Andrew

    I knew you were going to say that haha. That makes the algorithm a bit harder but I believe I have it figured out. I'll be updating soon when I finish it. Thanks for you help John! -Andrew

    I have a question for all you Kaleidescape owners. Let's say I had approximately 500 movies on the Kaleidescape system. If I only scrolled to the left or right and not up or down and I didn't stop to let the movies shuffle, would I eventually see all the movies? Or would I only see some until I...

    Update Hey everyone, Back at work on the project after quite a bit of time off. It took 3 hours or so just to look through all the souce code and get familiar with everything I was doing :). I have listed out a few things I would like to tackle. 1. New scrolling. I don't like the way the...

    Sorry I haven't made a post in a while. The clone is starting to get a lot more reliable. I use it as my media server now, recording crashes and such so I can fix them. It's currently on the back-burner as I have started to build a very simple, diy smart home. All of my free time focus has been...
