View Full Version : Trailers in movie info page
Hey,
I've notice in the movie info details page, where you select thumb, fanart, that there's a trailer button which i can only assume should launch the trailer of the movie selected, unfortunately when i click it nothing happens, I'm pretty sure I'm missing something like a plugin or the ability to better check the forum but if anyone could walk me through how to make it work or link to a thread that does it would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

not every movie has trailers and not every trailer works.
that what i think.
Please post full GUI Debug log .. If the trailer options is available to be clicked, then it should launch the trailer ..

Says who?
Why would you have a clickable trailer option if it didn't work ?
Correct me if I am work but I see the following in DialogVideoInfo.xml ...
<control type="button" id="11">
<description>Trailer</description>
<posx>55</posx>
<posy>150</posy>
<width>135</width>
<height>29</height>
<label>20410</label>
<font>font10</font>
<align>center</align>
<texturenofocus border="5">keyboard-btn-space.png</texturenofocus>
<texturefocus border="5">keyboard-btn-space-focus2.png</texturefocus>
<onleft>4</onleft>
<onright>4</onright>
<onup>12</onup>
<ondown>5</ondown>
<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Trailer)</visible> </control>
can't say i have tried all my movies but i did try a bunch and none worked, also as far as i can tell it seems all of them have the trailer option to click so not sure it's working for some and not other, it looks it's not working at all
tons of the trailer links on imdb are georestricted iirc

Just because there is something in there also doesn't mean it is a valid URL.
I have the same problem like m0gwai. All movies have the trailer button but nothing work.
I just thought that only if you have trailer movie file it will work so didn't thought it's a problem until now.
probably shitty url being returned...
grab it and try it in your browser to start!
psike:-
Can you post full GUI Debug log ? I am just curious wheather XBMC logs this as an error ..
It would be nice if XBMC would popup a GUI error message saying it can't play the file due to error like how it does for plugins currently ...
ok, It seems it's something with the Aeon skin that the trailer button is on. PM3HD skin have this button disabled.
I've also export my library to nfo files and there is no trailer url at all. Probley something wrong with the scraper, I'm using hebrew Sratim scraper.

Hey guys i found a possible cause but i'm not able to resolve it :P So I use for my library .nfo files created by Extreme Movie Manager (an italian software i think, i don't know if you know it) that creare .nfo files for XBMC... Now in the info file there is the trailer but XBMC return to coverflow of poster if you click it.. Instead if i don't use .nfo file the trailer it's played but in this case I don't see most of the film poster and i don't see title of film below but only genre... I post you a .nfo file so you can tell me if something on this it's wrong:

sorry i don't understand... can you be more clear? What i need to do? Or it can't play flash player? But from mymovies.it Xbmc with his scaper can reproduce that trailer.. Why from .nfo not? Where can i find the library created with XBMC scraper so i can compare them?
all scrapers sits in system/scrapers/video
you need a direct link to the FLV file, not a link to the WEB PAGE containing a embedded flash player which happens to play that FLV file.
