[QUOTE="dir, post: 1008048, member: 24485"] Yes, precisely the problem. >YOU< find it very easy. Many others in other countries do not. So why not allow both? Its quite frustrating when people that have fast or unlimited Internet decide broad development decisions without taking into account the multitude of others that do not have that luxury. "Hey, it works fine for me, so we don't need to change!" :eek: Locally stored trailers are useful because you don't have to waste bandwidth downloading it a 2nd time (and people watch the same trailer more than once - they watch the same movie more than once, don't they?), they play fast without stuttering, and because you can keep ones that may not always be available in the future. Most people I've installed MP for don't use trailers because they have to wait 30-60 seconds before they start streaming, then they stop/start/stutter throughout. The novelty wears off after the first attempt. Arguing that people shouldn't need to keep trailers locally is the same argument that we don't need to keep any meta data locally either - after all, its small amounts and readily available online, right? Using that argument, almost everything's available online so why don't we just develop MP to be a web browser instead? [/QUOTE]
