MyTrailers plugin (2 Viewers)

[DarkMedusa]

The myHDTrailers.xml file is based on the myTrailers.xml file for the 16:9 version og BlueTwo.

If you get a "missing file" message. It is probably because the myHDtrailers.xml file is not in the correct skin folder (for the skin you are currently using)

Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\myHDtrailers.xml")

The above code is used to load this skin file, so it should load correctly if placed in the right folder, I think. I'm new to this as well, so expect some bugs.

Hope this helps! Would be great to get more people working on this plugin. Quicktime offers much better quality than WMP I must say!

I just testing this out again and still can't get it to work. I downloaded the 12xx by 7xx bluetoo skin and installed that. I copied over the myHDtrailers.xml file to the root of the bluetoo 12x skin directory. I also copied over the dll's into the plugins/windows directory. When I click on it I get missing or invalid file. I then tried copying over the mytrailers.xml from the bluetoo directory into the bluetoo 12xx directory. The file dates are about 30 days off. I thought this might help because the file in the bluetoo directory is newer. Still no go. In the plugins listing under the config.exe there is an option to configure. Is there anything under that? Because when I click on it, nothing happens.

Thoughs?

The author of this plugin has told me that due to lack of feedback he may not (if all) work on this plugin any further. It appears only ASiDiE is the only one trying to get this plugin working. If some other people that have d/l this plugin but have also found problems would post their problems then the author would see that you want this plugin but are having problems. The author was hoping someone else would take over, but maybe his thoughts could be swayed.

Thanks for trying this ASiDiE.
There is no config page.
What file does the msg say is missing/invalid?
Are you using BlueTwo 16:9 as the active skin?
Will the mediaportal log tell you more?

And I forgot to mention that the latest Quicktime player has to be installed since my dll's are only wrappers.

It does not say what file is missing.. just a black screen with small text in the middle of the screen. I am using Bluetwo 1280x720 skin... I assumed this was the 16x9 skin... but I may be wrong. Here is part of my error log:

3/13/2006 10:31:31 AM window:HDTrailerPlugin.GUIQTTrailers init
3/13/2006 10:31:31 AM OnMessage exceptionystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at HDTrailerPlugin.GUIQTTrailers.ShowMainListView()
at HDTrailerPlugin.GUIQTTrailers.OnPageLoad()
at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.OnMessage(GUIMessage message)

I do not have quicktime loaded at all. I do however have quicktime alt loaded.

I will go download the latest quicktime player and see if that changes anything.

P.S. I think we should start another Thread about this. With your plugin as the title.

I think the problem might be quicktime alt. Try the real version.

The thread continues under the title myHDtrailers under plugins

When starting MediaPortal - with this plugin enabled - MP stalls.....

I'm having a problem with My Trailers.

All I can get is a still frame every few seconds, even though the audio plays fine.

I know the problem's not my connection because I tested it and got my full 3mb/second.

I'm not sure what other info I need to post.....

Ideas?

Thanks.....

Hi Robert,

First, try playing a trailer via the My Trailers plugin from MediaPortal. Next, open the mediaportal.log from the log directory and search for the MMS URL from the trailer you tried to play. Those URLs look something like: mms://some.hostname.tld/path/to/whatever?param=some_value&otherparam=another_value

Now copy that URL to the clipboard. Then open up Windows MediaPlayer, choose: File -> Open URL and then paste the URL in there and press OK. BTW, you might want to try several URLs before deciding what's wrong. If none of the URLs playback in WMP, then WMP is your problem. Try reinstalling it then. If it does playback, then the problem has to be within MediaPortal. Reproduce the problem in MP (i.e. start MP, try playing a trailer, then stop MP), paste the mediaportal.log at http://mp.pastebin.com and post a link here to the paste bin so we can take a look. Please fill in a support template as well - from the General Support forum section.

Kind regards,
Michel
