Movie Premier for Windows 8/RT

Last month we told you about a movie app for Windows 8 and Windows RT called Movie Premier that gives you a nice visual front end to your movie collection. Today the app has been updated adding support for content stored on a NAS drive or local folders previously it would only play content in the Windows default video folder. Along with the storage options you can now pick the file types you want to the app to play and select customer application backgrounds.

From my Surface RT I was able to add movies stored on my network and it downloaded the metadata. The app is nice way of viewing your video collection from a Windows 8 or Windows RT device and it’s free from the Windows Store.
