Movie Explorer Overview
Movie Explorer searches all of your external, internal, and network drives looking for digital movie files such as MKV and M4V. It then saves these in a catalog that can be accessed and searched offline. You can use the app as a convenient way to play your movie files using the menu commands ‘Play’ or ‘Play with.’ You can enjoy photos, posters, and stills of the movie cast and crew by using the ‘Gallery” feature.
