Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Bar Displays: • Now Showing fills ultra-wide marquee bar panels edge to edge, including 1920×360 and 1920×540 panels fed a 1080p signal. • Bar Displays are a perfect addition over a Theater door and support all Now Showing features including Live Progress. • Choose an Automatic, Standard, or Bar layout and the panel height. • Bars cycle banner artwork between thin rails, with a side panel for title, year, rating, and overview, and a one-row Poster Strip for Kaleidescape and Plex. • Artwork sorts itself into posters and banners, the TMDb picker lists backdrops, and bar settings are saved with each Scene. Also New: • Save As for Scenes — Reworking a saved scene no longer risks overwriting it. Save As always asks for a name, leaves the scene you opened untouched, and warns before replacing an existing one. Duplicate now lives in the Scenes panel. • The Library — Scenes, Timers, and Playlists live together in one panel. Scenes sync over iCloud: save, rename, export, import, and switch between them from a document-style title menu. • Timers — Countdown timers with preset or custom durations, or set to a clock time, show a glass countdown pill over a dimmed poster, can override the bar text while running, and send a command to your media device when they start and finish. • Playlists — Schedule Scenes and Timers with Default, One-Time, Recurring, and On-Demand triggers, resolved by priority. Timers and Playlists can be sent to other Now Showing displays on your network. • Digital Rain Frame Style — A Matrix-style animated frame for the top and bottom bars, with five modes that follow your chosen Frame color. • Elapsed-Time Progress — Players that report only elapsed time, like the Oppo UB-820, now show progress. Fixes: • A restarted display picks up play state right away, and a stale Pause no longer holds space on the progress bar. • Plex reports play state reliably, re-checks a stale server, finds servers through your Plex account, and can prompt you to sign in. Kaleidescape and Plex now appear in the sequence menus. • Editing an image's artwork no longer adds a duplicate. • A controller cloned by restoring another device's backup is detected, so both appear separately in your home. • Saved Send and Copy targets that are offline now appear dimmed in the picker.

About
Live Movie Poster display for Home Theaters. Turn any TV into a stunning cinema marquee with animated Live Posters, trailers, and automatic artwork from your media player. Ideal for a Mac connected to a wall-mounted Samsung Frame TV, an Apple TV, or a wall-mounted iPad. Remotely control the display from your iPhone. Portrait mounting is recommended — Now Showing automatically rotates into portrait mode even when not supported by your devices. All platforms included with any purchase. Direct network integration is provided for 6 media players: Apple TV, Kaleidescape, Panasonic UHD players, Kodi, Zidoo, and Oppo UHD players. No control system needed. Features vary by player including automatic artwork display based on playing content, and playback progress. Alternatively, if Roomie Remote X (separate app and subscription) is also deployed, deep room-aware integration is activated for over 20 supported media players. Take your Home Theater to the next level with Now Showing! FEATURES • Live Posters. Movie posters come alive with subtle, cinematic animation — the signature Now Showing experience. • Curated Poster Collections. Idle cycling draws from hand-picked collections for consistently high-quality, family-appropriate artwork. • Kaleidescape & Plex Library Cycling. Point Now Showing at your Kaleidescape system or Plex server and cycle your library's high-resolution covers. • 4-Up Poster Wall. Optional layout shows four covers at once, refreshing on a stagger for a classic poster-wall feel. • Multi-Display Poster Sync. Coordinated cycling across all displays with staggered offsets so each screen shows different content. • Poster Anchor. 5 anchor points and 3 scale modes give 15 layout combinations, as a global default or per poster. • Bar Displays. Fill an ultra-wide marquee panel — 1920×360, 1920×540, or a native 32:9 monitor — with banner artwork between thin rails, a side panel for title, year, rating, and overview, and an optional Poster Strip. • Automatic Artwork. Players like Kaleidescape and Apple TV display the poster for whatever is playing. • Playback Progress. Live progress indicator, top or bottom, for supported media players. • Scenes Library. Save configurations to an iCloud-synced library and switch between them from a document-style title menu. • Timers. Countdown timers appear as a glass pill over a dimmed poster, with custom durations or absolute start times, and can fire commands to your media device when they start and complete. • Playlists. Schedule Scenes and Timers to run automatically with Default, One-Time, Recurring, and On-Demand triggers. • Send to Network Displays. Push Timers and Playlists to any other Now Showing display on your network. • Remote Configuration. Deploy configurations to any Now Showing display on your network from any iPhone, iPad, or Mac. • Full 4K images and trailers in any QuickTime-compatible format. (Recommended aspect ratio is standard movie poster 2:3) • Extensive Customization. Colors, fonts, bars, and many other display aspects. • Target Display-Relative Sizing. Zoom and bar sizing scale to your Target Display for accurate previews. • Multiple simultaneous displays supported on macOS. iPadOS and tvOS support 1 monitor. • Roomie Remote X integration (optional separate app) enhances the experience with room-aware auto-switching across your control system.
