Discover
For the evening when nothing fits
The actual reason Nexview exists. Plenty of tools can request, but the question before that usually goes unanswered: what are we watching? This page shows how Nexview answers it.
For you
Recommendations that belong to you
The home page is not a general catalogue but your view. What you heart, titles as well as people, decides what gets suggested there.
On top of that come curated sections: what is running now, what fits your favourites, what you do not know yet. Two accounts in the same installation see different home pages, that is the difference from a plain request list.
Movies and shows stay apart: a switch at the top decides which of the two you are looking at. Anybody looking for a show does not want to page through movies.
Browse
The whole catalogue, not just the last few weeks
For a long time there were two menu entries: Discover movies and Discover series. Both showed what had just come out. For the evening when you are not looking for anything in particular that was too little, whatever appeared three years ago never showed up at all.
In their place there is now Browse: the same catalogue, but sorted onto shelves. Newly released, Hidden gems, well rated, but hardly anybody knows them, Timeless classics and Under 90 minutes, for when the evening is already half gone.
At the top there are three questions instead of a row of sliders: movies or shows, “Does it have to be ready to play tonight?”, either way, only what is already here, or only what is still missing, and whether you want cards or a list.
Your own rows at the top, the drawers at the bottom
As soon as Nexview knows enough about you, two personal rows sit above the shelves: Not seen in a long time, whatever is furthest back, and Because you like “…”, one row per favourite, three at most. They sit on top, but they block nothing: below them the catalogue carries on as usual. Anybody who has hearted nothing simply sees the shelves.
And at the foot of the page there are cards for five decades and every genre, for when the mood hangs on a drawer rather than on a title.
Filter it yourself
Six questions instead of thirteen controls
Anybody who knows exactly what they are after clicks Rather filter it yourself at the top right. Behind it are six questions in plain language, no sliders, no shorthand: How much time? From which era? What are you in the mood for? How well known? Does it have to be ready to play tonight? And what to sort by.
With the genres every click counts twice: pressing once means yes please, pressing again means anything but that. So an evening can also be described by what it should not be.
Whatever you set ends up in the address. You can send the result to somebody, or keep it as a bookmark if you look for the same thing often.
What to watch?
For when even browsing is too much
The first menu entry is not a catalogue but a question. One click opens a window over whatever page you are on, and asks, one at a time, what you are in the mood for tonight.
The tree of questions adapts: watching on your own leads to different questions than watching as a family, and depending on your answers some are dropped entirely. It never takes longer than half a minute.
It is deliberately a window and not a page of its own. You do not lose what you were looking at, close it, and you are back where you were.
The title
Everything the decision needs
The detail page carries what you need to decide: the ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic right on the title, without opening three sites.
Plus the trailer in a window, the cast with photos (clickable, leading to their filmography), the studios involved, runtime, age rating, budget and box office. When a movie is part of a collection, the rest of the collection follows below, and each movie can be requested from there on its own.
And one point that helps more often than expected: where the title is streaming right now, split into subscription, free, rent and buy, for your region. Sometimes the best request is the one you do not make. The data comes via JustWatch.
People
Searching for people, not titles
Sometimes you are not after a movie but a person. The people section covers acting, directing and writing, with a photo, and behind it the full filmography including the work behind the camera.
People can be hearted too. After that, the best movies and shows of your favourite people mix into your recommendations, alongside the ones coming from your favourite titles.
Bilingual
Right down to the movie titles
German and English, and not merely the interface. Titles, descriptions and keywords arrive in the chosen language too, because they are fetched from TMDB in that language.
The language belongs to the account, not the device. In the same installation one person can see everything in German and the next in English.
The same goes for the region: it decides which streaming providers are shown and which release dates apply.
Not here yet
Tell me when it lands
Not every title can be requested. Some have not been released, others nobody can find. Instead of saying “no”, Nexview remembers the wish: tell me when it lands, and lets you know as soon as the title turns up.
This is explicitly not a request. It uses no quota, no space, and nothing lands with the operator. Stop waiting and the mark comes off, clicking twice is a double click, not an error.
