[QUOTE="dir, post: 1007982, member: 24485"] The biggest missing functionality for me is the ability to save and use local trailer files. I started collecting trailers over 10 years ago and many of these are simply not available on itunes/apple trailers or IMDB. Undoubtedly this will also be true in the future - trailers available now may not be available in the future. I know we're in the "cloud" era and any/everything should likely be available "out there" somewhere, but you could argue that artwork and metadata is always out there and therefore we may as well just download it every time we need it. Which of course is silly. Also, I get the impression that developers tend to overlook the fact that many users around the world do not have unlimited or fast internet, and can't or won't (re-)download /stream trailers because of the cost or they don't like the stuttering of streamed trailers. Having the trailer locally available means there are no delays when wanting to view it from within, say, Moving Pictures. Its a bit of a pain associating a saved trailer with a movie. Years ago we got really stuck on this in Meedio because nobody could agree on the approach. My attitude is not to ask others for agreement and simply decide on one way to do it. It'll become a 'standard' fast enough. For those of us with existing trailers, I'm happy to do a one-off exercise to manually import/move my trailers so that they're integated. [/QUOTE]
