MyTrailers (1 Viewer)

[LRFalk01]

Hi LRFalk01 first i wanna thank you for your work,My Trailers is alive again thanks to you and it's working well(is working better that the previous one IMHO),is grabbing all the stuff(link,cover,everything) and you can watch the trailer either in fullscreen or window without any problem....Thanks again

And BTW this plugin it's a "must have"

Thanks Pretoriano. I am going through it right now and fixing some memory overuse issues. There were some logic issues with the code as well. .. As far as this not working through directshow or whatever it is called. I will try to get that working, but I understand very little about it right now.

I'll continue to make try to make this plugin better.

Please do not use the attachment in my previous post . . . I had a lot of StreamWriting going on for testing. Please use the one attached here . . .I am deeply sorry for my hasty release.

The previous one is working fine for me


No problem LRFalk01 i will keep testing your work even if is working already for me...

If you look in your root of C:\ there is a testing.txt file. This file will probably get quite large depending on how much you use the plugin if you do not get the new dll

 

[Pretoriano]

ok,i've watched all the "Top Trailers" and no issue with the plugin...BTW i'm using your last version

 

[LRFalk01]

Sorry, didn't work to good. Wasn't able to see any movies..Belive I did the installation steps you described in your post. View attachment 23427 View attachment 23428

Hmm.. I see other gets it to work, so it is obvious that it is my problem..Seems like I can't get the videolan plugin to get startet, at last the config options to use it for http:// streams isn't saved. It is unchecked everytime i open the config.

Hey Vattenmelon, I noticed a couple of things about your logs. most notably is this line:

Yours is missing the mmsurl. I do not know for sure, but it may have something with where you live. Yahoo may be doing some sort of checking as to which IP address the request is coming from. Your error log it looks like is coming from my conversion of a double data type to a string. I am not getting these errors though. I do this for rating. I could try to take this out and give you a dll of that version to see if it makes a difference for you if you like. Thank you for the logs. They give in a good insight into what I can work on.

Hi LRFalk01,

Have you considered using the apple trailers website for the streaming files? They stream .mov files and I guess most people would have installed the free "quicktime alternative" codec to allow .mov playback with the MediaPortal internal player. I have and it works well for playing .mov files.

The apple trailers website is Apple - Movie Trailers

Just click on a movie and the trailers link and you can see the .mov files being streamed.

Do you think you could have the My Trailers plugin link to these and then the .flv issue would be avioded and everyone could install the free quicktime alternative codec and use the internal player :0)

What do you think?

Cheers,
Colin

Hey sleepycol,

After looking at the apple site, I think this is a viable option . . . I will look into getting their trailers to stream in MP. If I get that working, I will have to completly redo how MyTrailers works to go with the apple side. One unfortunate thing about that is that Apple does not have a boxOffice list : (

Okay I have been reviewing Apple trailers. It is actually quite easy to get their link to the movie file from their site eg:

http://movies.apple.com/movies/wb/the_dark_knight/the_dark_knight-tlr3-h.ref.mov

A couple of things that would be missing from MyTrailers if i switch it over to apple's site is the clips, DVD info, new movies coming out, and box office. The last two items Apple has on their site, but I do not know how they are making their lists. I may be able to make those work once i get a better understanding of their site.

There are flv directshow filters available, so that should not be a problem

Got a link?
I dint manage to find one yet.

The MPC-HC standalone filter MPCVideoDec.ax can play flv files. Also you need the flv file splitter FLVSplitter.ax
You can find the latest (unstable) versions of the filters at XvidVideo.RU / Standalone Filters MPC-HC | Media Player Classic HomeCinema

A simple registration of both filters is enough.

Registering the filers: is that something I would need to do in my plugin, or is that something on the Windows side?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Apple seem to have the following lists:

1) Just added
2) Exclusive
3) Just HD
4) Most Popular
5) Genres
6) Opening this week
7) Weekend box office
8) Search Option

They display most of the above in a thumbnail view or list view. I wonder if you can grab the thumbnails from that? Also, when you click on a film, eg Wall-E, that page has lots of clips to choose from (Teaser Trailer 1, Teaser Trailer 2, Theatrical trailer, and lots of clips uner those links). For each stream you can choose small, medium or large etc).

Here's a link for Hancock http://movies.apple.com/movies/sony_pictures/hancock/hancock-tsr2_h.640.mov

Just change the 640 to 320 for the smaller stream.


Each genre has its own page eg Action and Adventure is http://www.apple.com/trailers/genres/action_and_adventure/

For a definitive list of all the genres which would return a page/list for that genre scroll down to the bottom of the action and adventure genre to where it says "complete Archive by". There is a pull down menu which gives the genres in a list. Perhaps you could use that list to create a genres section in the My Trailers plugin?

The search seems ok too, just type a movie in and it returns a list of possible streams/trailers.

Cheers,
Colin
