Usher overview
Note: After many long conversations, we have decided to retire Usher, our media management app: Effective March 1st, 2017, Usher will no longer be available for purchase. We will update it to fix issues that arise, but no further development will occur. If you’ve always wanted to own Usher, you’ve got about two weeks left to make the purchase. (It’s not being abandoned, we’re just retiring it from active development, so you will be supported. However, please read the Q&A before you decide to purchase Usher.) So what does this mean for you as an Usher user? We figure you might have questions, so we’re going to do our best to answer them here. Anything we don’t address, please feel free to bring it up in the comments, or by emailing us directly.
Usher (was yFlicks) is the ultimate tool for managing and watching your collection of videos. View your library in four view modes; watch movies in three ways. You can even use your Apple hardware remote to control playback and choose movies.
Tags and properties let you add metadata, and you can even download cast, director, etc. directly from Amazon.
What’s new in version 4520
Version 2.0 Beta (4520):
Note: Staying on Usher 1.1.17, or any version older than that, is only an option if you don't plan on upgrading to macOS 10.15 Catalina. Those older Ushers are 32-bit apps, and they will not run on macOS 10.15 Catalina.
- Fixed a bug where smart playlist subdivisions could show duplicate files under rare conditions.
- Fixed a thumbnail drawing glitch.
- Added some blurry eye candy, some of which also happens to improve legibility.

Version: 1.1.8
Switched to OS 10.7 minimum requirements but doesn’t take the time to offer a download link for the last 10.6.8-capable version either here or on their own freakin’ website.
Lame, developer. Is my license worth nothing to you? Fine, then I’ll trash your product every chance I get in every forum I can think of.

Version: 1.1.7
Seems extremely slow with a large library! I have around 3000 movies on my NAS, and Usher is so slow it's almost unresponsive! Am waiting to hear some feedback from the developer.

Version: 1.1.6
Unfortunately even if it seems a very nice and useful application
alike all the others similar, it does't have any support for mkv
which in my case makes this (and the others too, obviously) useless

my movie collection is on a NAS and for me usher is not working well.
it keeps crashing most of the time

Nice, but I can’t find a preference to always open movies in fullscreen — a glaring omission and deal breaker.
