First of all, I would like to say that this is a brilliant software that I was looking for a long time ago. I'm very happy I found it and I really want to congratulate the developers. I had a similar idea a few years ago about a software like this and you guys implemented it with perfection. The bittorrent stream is excellent and very fast even with 1080p movies.

I have a few ideas that I have in mind:

1-)Torrent Sources
In my opinion, the torrent sources must be crowd supported, in other words, the user should be able to insert a new movie/TV show entry manually and this new source should be updated to the cloud so everyone can see this new "movie/TV Show". In order to avoid miss entries, the new sources should be entered in a "temporary tag" until some amount of users vote it to be really legit ("temporary tag" removed) or not legit (new source removed). When the the torrent source is added, the user must also add the IMDb or themoviedb link, so the software can get the movie metadata and organize automatically.

Actually my idea is even wider, If this is not hard to code, the software should have all Movies/TV shows from IMDb already in its database and when a movie/TV show doesn't have a source torrent then the user could add it using the same scheme described above.

If this is implemented, it will never be outdated.

2-) Subtitles
It would be very nice if it had a more deeper integration with OpenSubtitles like http://mpc-hc.org/ has, so it could automatically search for the subtitles in every language. And like the torrent source, the subtitles should also be crowd supported, when a user chooses a new subtitle source for a specific movie/TV show, right after the end of the movie, a popup should appear asking to rate the subtitle quality. After some amount of users high rating it, it should automatically be added as permanent to the movie.

3-) Bad quality movies.
It is a good idea to tag the poor quality movies like CAM, TS, etc, like they do in http://zona.ru/. So the user can filter the bad quality ones.

4-) Sorting.
Sorting is also one thing that is missing. It would be great to sort in many ways like rating, year, title, newer, etc...

5-) Search.
The search could go beyond the title, like actors, directors, etc. like they do in http://zona.ru/
And it could also have a check box "search title only" (checked by default)

6-) Bugs.
I noticed a few bugs like when you launch a movie the screen is not in full screen and the subtitle encoding in latin languages.

If all these topics are implemented, this will definitely be the BEST software of this genre in the world.

Thank you again for the amazing software

I actually liked your ideas very much. I really hope they get implemented soon in any sort of way. I particularly saw some tv shows that don't have available torrents and I thought I could share them, but I'm not sure if there's a way of doing it right now.

Yeah... I hope the developers take a look at my ideas.
