Okay, I think this is a better linking system. I found a way for MP to get returned the file straight (not a web page with an embeded flash object). An example of this is below:

http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplayli...&sdm=web&pt=rd

When you go to that link, you should be prompted to download the flv file which is a clip from Wall-E in this case. I think this is probably the best way to go, but I still have not figured out how to make MP play this. I am in need of help.

MediaPortal is based on DirectShow for Video/TV playback.
This means that as long as you do not find and install an flv-directshow codec, you simply can not play a flv file inside MediaPortal.

Some sort of "workaround" could be to integrate a "webbrowser" + flashplugin into the MyTrailers plugin and play the flash trailer then.
But i have absolutely no clue how that would work.

The reason to remove the MyTrailers plugin was that noone is maintaining the plugin and that yahoo is now only using flash for their trailers.

Good luck

LRFalk01, have u looked at the MPlayer plugin? It handles flv and most other formats. If you can get the links it should play them.

There are flv directshow filters available, so that should not be a problem

I think this is one of the FLV directshow filter but it's not free...I found another one that it's included in the video conversion software called SWiSHvideo2,and if you wanna try it just download it and do the custom install(this way you can install only the filter).And even if it's not free i think that it will not be a problem for the MP Team as long is not included into MP installer(or source code).

@LRFalk01:if you need someone to test your plugin i will be glad to help you

!!!!!! I got it working. I was calling g_Player.PlayVideoStream() instead of just g_Player.Play(). I was looking through the OnlineVideos source code when I figured it out. There are a few more fixes I need to make, and there is a slight discoloration in the clips which I think is because those are primarily flv streams; however, I think I have it almost back to its former glory.

Actually I have it working with the VLC plugin enabled for http connections. I do not view this as a problem. Any thoughts?

--- I am working on getting some of the mundane functionality working, and I am having a bit of a problem with the movie rating. The code that was in the original MyTrailers plugin does not work. My question to someone that used to use this plugin: did the rating aspect of it ever work?
