This should be an option on the home page menu button, and should provide access to some of the power of OData based searches.

Home screen top-right menu button is unimplemented, needs to link to search options.

iPad's may be shared, so allow each user to enter their name to create a persona, then setup a favorite movies and favorite people list for each persona to use as starting points for exploring.

The initial list of actors is fixed, derived from the top actors from the top100 movies on Netflix. The list is stored as a file in the app as JSON, and has URLs to headshots for the actors at Freebase, since the actor headshots at Netflix are low resolution and incomplete, however this URL is not used in the app at present.

Movie view layout is squished in portrait mode – workaround: hold your iPad landscape, since that makes sense for watching a movie anyway…

Just in case anyone else gets stuck, I needed to add a .gitmodules file myself. Here are the contents:

[submodule "AQGridView"]
    path = AQGridView
    url = https://github.com/AlanQuatermain/AQGridView.git

[submodule "asi-http-request"]
        path = asi-http-request
        url = https://github.com/pokeb/asi-http-request.git

After that, run:
git submodule init
git submodule update

Hope that helps!

Not all movies by an actor are shown (need better queries – Kirsten?) currently the query grabs the first 20 titles that the person directed or acted in, and de-duplicates the combined list.

Movie synopsis sometimes contains coded characters that are displayed as something like é in words like protégé.

The current order is movies directed first, then movies acted in, but the movies are jumbled up. Fix would be to sort by decreasing year of movie, or alphabetically by title.

I am getting kReachabilityChangedNotification undeclared (first use in this function) on the class ASIHTTPRequest,m
I downloaded the latest ASIHTTPRequest from github.

Users don't realize that the powered by Netflix logo is a button that goes to that movie at the Netflix site. Add some helper text next to the button.

Hi Adrian,

I have a question on configuring Zuul and exposing the same with multiple host names.

Currently we have apache mod jk reverse proxy to do that.

I am sure this is not the right forum/place to ask the same. Please let me know where can I post this to get it answered from you.

Thanks
Bharath

We should have a bio for the actor, possibly based on freebase data rather than netflix bio. Make it a popup screen on the current actor's movies display, or popup on the list of actors.
