Software to show what is playing on a tv outside theater

Hello,

I believe there was a piece of software that would allow the display of what is now playing on a monitor as well as show covers from your entire collection. I have searched and I cannot find a reference. Does anybody know what this is or am I losing my mind?

Thx
Bryan
 
SButter and AlienWarlock,

Thank you both for your quick reply. It looks like version MoviePoster_2.3.0.5_Dev_(4-30-2020) is the latest version. I emailed movieposterapp@gmail.com and got a very quick response. They indicated an updated version is in the works (no details). It looks like I will be firing it up to give it a try.

I appreciate your help.

I saw a YouTube video of a home theater walkthrough, where the owner had 2 screens outside of the actual theater displaying random cover art, and it switched to the "Now Playing" cover art when a movie was being projected. They talk about what was used.
I'll try to find said video in my YT history and post it here.
 
It does reference the screen poster but unless I am missing something I couldn't get which software they are downloading to enable this, what operating systems is used and what is it running on? ideally it would be running on some sort of android or other low cost screen option. I did look in the notes on YTbut couldn't see it there either.
 
It's right around the 8 minute mark he mentions the software and K plugin
 
This is the link he mentions. I'm testing the latest dev version now which is what is recommended. The latest stable version is from 4/7/2016 and the latest dev build is from 4/3/2020, so that has me hesitant about it. It was able to connect to the KScape and I am trying to build the library now. It is a $10 "donation" to get a code to make the "Not Registered" disappear off the screen.


I'll post again once I've done more testing.
 
To those folks that reached out to me questioning the "marketing" involved in this thread, thank you for keeping up with such things, but if we're being real here, info like this being shared is unavoidable, insignificant, and a possible benefit to our members. I will not "police" every post by members that are sharing interesting new tech, owners can decide for themselves what value it has in their systems.
