ZipperZip,

check out key masters work for Meedio for getting trailers for each movie via Apple.com including Germany. I'm using his standalone app to do the local showtimes stuff addition to myTrailers (yes, it's a very slow process for me). His standalone will allow for downloading of the trailer so maybe that'll help. With the local showtimes stuff, I don't do anything with the trailers at all, I am going to tie that part into the stuff you already created.

Here's the URL: http://movietimes.home.comcast.net/

Hi.
I am missing some features of this plugins and also have some problems with it...

My problems is like i have read in this thread earlier.. Then selecting a trailer i have to wait for almost 30seconds-1minute until it starts playing... And I am also experiencing stuttering. Not every time but quite often. Maybe a buffer thing.

Another problem is that I cant change the aspect ratio. I get big black borders around the video. I have a 50" Widescreen TV so it would be nice to be able to zoom/stretch the video.

Some features that would be nice:
* Be able to select trailer "size" like in the different Apple trailers.. SD, HD720, HD1080 etc..
* Select buffer size.
* See download/buffer progress before playing the trailer since it is a little strange looking at a black picture and dont really know what is happening..


It is a very nice plugin! Keep up the good work! =)

    As you know there is a code-freeze, so we can't introduce new features. :wink:

    Maybe you didn't know this, but streaming videos is done with the Windows Media Player. I don't know if this is possible in WMP, haven't seen it. So if it isn't possible in WMP, it isn't possible in MP. But maybe i am wrong.

    * Be able to select trailer "size" like in the different Apple trailers.. SD, HD720, HD1080 etc..
    This is impossible, yahoo doesn't have HD-trailers.

    * Select buffer size.
    You can do this in Windows Media Player --> options.

    * See download/buffer progress before playing the trailer since it is a little strange looking at a black picture and dont really know what is happening..
    Agree, but after the 0.2 release.

    Off Topic: Apple HD Trailers

    Well this is a bit off-topic, but i was browsing the web, when i came across this: Apple HD Trailers

    This is a stand-alone application wich lets you download All the Apple HD Trailers to a directory with posters. You can even schedule the downloads.

    Pretty nice and i am sure this will please a lot of you :wink:

    I would love to see the possibilities to get this plugin to easily search for trailers for movies that are present in "My movies".

    For example in the menu where you can find IMDB info and so on for the movie you should have a "View trailer" option, where the trailer plugin starts a search for the movie title.

    Just an idea that I would love! :D
