[QUOTE="fforde, post: 742972, member: 52082"] So I have done a little bit of work on custom intro videos for Moving Pictures 1.3 (and still plan to do a bit more). The idea is to allow wildcards in your path for your custom intro, so for example you could use "c:\intros\${audiocodec}.avi" and it would play a different intro video based on the audio codec of the video. Additionally if you point it to a directory instead of a file it will play a random video from that directory. So you could use "c:\trailers\" to play a random trailer before your movie. You can see some partial documentation already [URL="http://moving-pictures.tv/wiki/Custom_Introduction_Videos"]written up on our wiki[/URL]. One thing I am struggling with though is genre. A logical combination of the wildcards enhancement and the directory enhancement would be something like "c:\trailers\${genre}\". The problem is a single movie can be tagged with several genres. I am not really sure how to handle this beyond just using the first genre. Any ideas? If anyone would like to chat real time jump on [URL="http://moving-pictures.tv/wiki/IRC_Channel"]our IRC channel[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
