We've won another test!

Thursday June 17 2010 | 16:31 by Jeanette Eriksson

The swedish site DVD-Forum has been testing the biggest VOD-services in Sweden, and now we've won the test! The assessment was based upon four criterias; selection, availability, movie quality, and price, and this is what they said:

"The sites that has received the highest ratings, are the sites that has understood that you somehow need to connect your computer with your TV, and is actively working on solutions in this area. Headweb's investment in the PS3 is a great example of this. In the end it was this that tipped the scales when we gave Headweb the highest scores."

Headweb in 5 languages

Tuesday March 09 2010 | 20:13 by Peter Alvarsson

Ordböcker

After the launch in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland it seems natural to translate the service to all local languages.

We have begun translating why you in addition to Swedish and English now can choose Norwegian, Danish and Finnish from the language selector. Please bear with us and have patience while we translate everything and correct all the errors and spelling mistakes that will pop up. If you find funny wordings or plain errors, please write to us. And if you want to help out and translate to even more languages, feel free to drop us a line in the comments or via mail.

Spelling corrections you send us earns you a free movie! :)

 

Headweb launches in Denmark and Finland

Thursday March 04 2010 | 10:43 by Peter Alvarsson



Dear friends!

We've been around in Sweden for a while and since last month also in Norway. It's time to move further and this time the luck has come to our beautiful friends in Denmark and Finland. We think they too deserve a good way of getting quality movies online. That's why we're launching in ALL Nordic countries today!

Our ambition is to become the leading movie service online and this is the beginning of international expansion. First the Nordics, then Europe and then the World! Smile

We hope you stay with us on our journey - you've already given us invaluable feedback and appreciation which we're now taking with us towards new goals and new countries.

We would forever appreciate if you send this message further to your Danish and Finnish friends. Thank you!


 

 

Updated Plex plugin

Monday March 01 2010 | 16:00 by Johan Ström

Plex Plugin

 

We released our first plugin for the Plex Mediacenter in early December. Many users have started using it and send us feedback of what to improve. We have listened and enhanced the plugin with some new cool features and improved stability you have asked for.

The update should be available as an automatic update if you have already installed it. If you want to install it for the first time, start Plex and go to App Store -> Featured and look for Headweb in the list. Press Enter and choose Install. Presto!

So, Whats new?

 

Watchlist

We have introduced a new feature called Watchlist where you can save a personal list with movies that you want to watch. So far the Watchlist has only been available on Headweb.com but it's now available from Plex as well.

Subtitles

In this new version we've introduced the possibility to change subtitle while you watch (yes, a GREAT improvement! :) )

 

Top list

A small change but worth mentioning: our Top list (best sellers) are now available from the Plex menu.

 

User interface: Norwegian

Our new Norwegian users that don't want the plugin language to be swedish or english can now choose norwegian under Plugin Language under preferences.

PS. Those of you wondering how everything progresses with other media centers: we're working hard on them but don't have any dates when we release anything.

Best movie service.... again!

MacWorld

We're very proud to inform that we for the 4th time in a year have been appointed "Sweden's best film service". This time magazine MacWorld embraces Headweb as a service in the forefront and gave us their highest rating. The motivation says:

"Headweb is the best streaming service for movies right now with a user friendly software and lots of good features. We hope prices will decrease but as the market is today, Headweb is definately worth the highest score."

 

This strengthen us in our continued work for a bigger content catalogue, improving the user experience and entering new platforms.

headweb, bäst, bäst i test, macworld
