Cinema Scope

This scope queries TMDb for movies and tv shows and allows people to have fast access to various information, including trailers. It was written for the Ubuntu Scope Showdown

Main features

• Movies and TV series sections
• Trailers
• Ability to find nearby cinemas playing a particular film (it uses the google.com/movies page and phone location)
• Links to IMDb, homepage and search on Google
• Support for translations (text language for queries is set to "en" by default, because information on other languages tend to be incomplete on TMDb sometimes)
• Find the shows airing today!
• Find actors and directors using the search function!

Building

In order to have a functional scope you need to insert a developer key into config.h; just go to TMDb login page and register a new account. To build this scope outside of QtCreator, please install phablet-tools and run click-buddy.

Localization

intltool is used to perform localization of the scope. Ensure whenever you add / rename files that contain localizable strings you update "po/POTFILES.in".

When you want to add a new language to the translation catalogue:

• Copy the .pot file from the "po" directory and rename it to e.g. "zh_CN.po", where "zh_CN" is the language code for China.
• Enter the language code in "Language:".
• Enter the "UTF-8" as the "Content-Type:".
• Enter the translations in the msgstr tags.

For the new translation to show up, cmake needs to be re-run to enable the recusive search macro to delect the new translation. In QtCreator this can be done with the "Build->Run Cmake" menu entry.

Remember! When you copy the .pot file, make sure you change the file extension to ".po".
