I have been downloading a lot of trailers for my movie collection using Ember Media Manager and I was looking around for a way to play them using Media Portal. I was wondering if there was a way to do this within Moving Pictures? EMM is naming the files <MOVIE NAME>-trailer.flv and it is dumping them with the fanart and backdrops into each movie's folder... if I could get an option to play them for each supported movie in Moving Pictures, that would be really cool.

    AW: Trailer Support?

    You can view them with MyVideos in shared view if you specify the folder with all your trailers in MPConfig -> Videos -> Video Folders ;)

    That is something I could do but I would much rather have an option to watch a trailer or play the film once the movie is selected... keep it all together, you know? Right now, all the trailers are in each individual movie folder and I would have to move them to a single folder (Which I can do) but I would really prefer to have it all in the Moving Pictures plugin.

    AW: Trailer Support?

    ... what you want is not possible without code changes in the plugin.

    (I also use EmberMM and added trailersupport in MyFilms - so I have an extra button when showing a movie "play trailer" plus a global filter to show me only movies of the library that have a trailer present - plus some sort of "movie scrobbler" that let me choose a categotry and plays a random trailer with the option to start the movie afterwards.)

    Trailersupport is planned for movingpictures, so just wait until it is supported - and use myvideos as catavolt outlined for the time waiting ....

    Why is "Trailer support" Pulled back to v. 1.3.0 upgrade? It will take a year before this is implemented :/ Trailer support is the function which is rated the most on project page...

    Pulled back? It was originally scheduled for 2.0 and we pulled it forward to 1.3. It is a non trivial feature though and is also dependent on changes to the way we handle movie related media.

    So when it comes down to it, this will be a cool feature and we will make it happen, but it is a lot of work and requires a few other items to be completed before we can implement this properly.

    even though there is no trailer support, you can try adding a custom filter to every category.
    each category should have an exclude if filename contains "-trailer.flv" , then also add another category called trailers that excludes if filename does not contain "-trailer.flv"

    or just wait patiently until moving pics adds trailer support ;-)

    I don't excactly get this.. Where can you view the trailers then?

    Ya i could wait, but i think est. waiting time for maybe a ½-1 year is a little long time
