nice work man.

[love_tropicana]

kaer: don't mind the dark knight, it's his problem, the yousendit link works perfectly fine, so i guess he's the "genius" in this case. i'm looking forward to play with this script when i get home. cheers and thanks for your effort.

[KevinSartori]

hello.

the download worked fine for me too. can't wait to check out the script. thanks for the effort!

[Kaer]

hi thanks

i would like to apologize first if it doesn't work correctly, it works fine on my xbox but i haven't tested it thoroughly. do let me know if there is any problem and hopefully i will be able to solve it.

[love_tropicana]

i've now played around with the script and it works flawlessly as far as caching and displaying the selected trailer. however it seems as if gametrailers.com isn't willing to send out the trailers with alot of bandwidth, i've now downloaded several trailers from their site and i've peaked with 2 files at 70 kb/s and the rest has been in the range of 10-30 kb/s... wich simply doesn't cut it when it comes to streaming the files. my only suggestion would be to make the script download and play the files from a temp directory. sure this will take longer but as it is now they are un-watchable because they skip so much.

i don't think it has to do with my broadband, but then again you never know. has anyone else gotten to play the trailers without them trying to skip themselves to death?

[Kaer]

hi
i thought it was my own bandwidth problem. but its nice to hear the script is working for you. i had some files played flawlessly but recently there's been some skipping.

things to do:
1) add a download option (will take most of flash work, heh sorry)
2) some parsing errors, the title contains <br> etc

[WarriorSan]

i used your first version of the scripts and watch almost al the trailers and had only 1 time some skipping. it's just a great script! thnx

but your link gametrailers2.rar doesn't work. also in the second link of xbox-scene forum the link of chilin_dude is script version 1 and not 2..

pm/mail me, i can host the gametrailers2.rar for you if you want..

[Kaer]

http://kaer4.tripod.com
think it works by accessing the site first. i did email you the file, (filenames different but essentially same)

erm, well, changes:
1) placement of pictures, buttons
2) added playback of downloaded clip
3) addded download'/stream dialog

well, report if any bugs, basic functions should work :)

i have almost exhausted things to add, so do let me know if you me to change anything etc. i might add the alphabetical listings, thinking of the best of implementing it, might use the virtual keyboard. :lookaround:

[drakenbaby666]

gametrailers2 works half for me. when i start it up i get download failed
after five times pressing ok i get the trailer screen without the background i can watch the trailers.
what should i change in gametrailers.py to see the background
my path is
/e/apps/xbmc/scripts/gametrailers2/gametrailers.py

[Kaer]

oh try installing to /e/apps/xbmc/scripts/gametrailers/

alternatively, modify the path in the script. look for the line:

root_dir = "q:\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"

in your case it will be

root_dir = "q:\\scripts\\gametrailers2\\"

im not sure whether its case sensitive

[drakenbaby666]

from my python script

self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,int(720*s elf.x),int(480*self.y), root_dir + "background.jpg"))
self.list = xbmcgui.controllist(int(211*self.x), int(100*self.y), int(450*self.x), int(350*self.y))

[Kaer]

nope don't touch that.

action_pause = 12
action_stop = 13
action_next_item = 14
action_prev_item = 15

root_dir = "q:\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"
# root_dir = "d:\\downloads\\xbmc\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"


edit that root_dir instead. the root_dir is accessed not only for the background. so please change it instead.

[drakenbaby666]

why is this root_dir = "q:\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"
i don't see a q:\\

[pike]

q = xbmc's homedir. a virtual mapping

[Chokemaniac]

yeah!!! i was sooo waiting for this

great job :kickass: :bowdown:

[Ariek]

can you put the background in psd format (with the layers) in the zip

so i can change the background to go with pmii

[WarriorSan]

can you put the background in psd format (with the layers) in the zip

so i can change the background to go with pmii
or maybe chokey can make a nice looking background?

[drakenbaby666]

finaly got it working

changed this
root_dir = "q:\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"
# root_dir = "d:\\downloads\\xbmc\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"

in this
root_dir = "q:\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"
# root_dir = "d:\\downloads\\xbmc\\scripts\\gametrailers\\"


the text was case sensitive

[Kaer]

well gametrailers just changed their site layout, nicer but definitely a pain for me :) oh well, i will see what i can do. will try to get an update out asap.

[Kaer]

ok got the new script out. should be compatible unless they made changes again. let me know if any bugs/problems.

download as per normal:
kaer4.tripod.com (http://kaer4.tripod.com)

[Striker]

maybe change one thing?
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,int(720*s elf.x),int(480*self.y), root_dir + "background.jpg"))

to
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,int(720*s elf.x),int(480*self.y), "background4.jpg"))

that way we can have a different background for each skin. (currently pm1 and 2)
just add the background images as background4.jpg in the skinname\media dirs

script working fine now btw

[Striker]

cant you save the streamed file after it has been played?
(just asking....)

[drakenbaby666]

thanks dude works like a charm i only put the background in the scripts folder

[WarriorSan]

maybe change one thing?
self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,int(720*s elf.x),int(480*self.y), root_dir + "background.jpg"))

self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,int(720*s elf.x),int(480*self.y), "background4.jpg"))

that way we can have a different background for each skin. (currently pm1 and 2)
just add the background images as background4.jpg in the skinname\media dirs

script working fine now btw
to kear,

i also like this idea but instead of background4.jpg, i prefer gtbackground.jpg because the name then refers to the script name. background and background.jpg and background2 ect. is more related to skin backgrounds...

and also for other scripts you already got gsbackground = gamespottrailer.py and xboxtvbackground = for the xbox script etc.

[Kaer]

heh, well, i thought its friendlier if the background is separated and easier to install. but yep, that suggestion is good. but i think that line is easy to change, so i wont release a new version for it. just change it manually :d

maybe if i have more backgrounds, i will update the rar :p
:thumbsup:

[Genjuro]

thank you kaer, i love your script it works perfectly. :bowdown: .
i wonder why you got only a few replys even though i know that a lot of peaple waited for this.
anyway kudos from 2341 xbox user in germany :kickass: .
only one thing, the script only plays the first stream per game; if you could find a way to fix this would make one of the best scripts out there even better...
thanks again

[drakenbaby666]

how can i get links like these

newesturl = "http://www.gametrailers.com/iframe.php?p="
comingurl = "http://www.gametrailers.com/"
vaulturl="http://www.gametrailers.com/streamer.php?type=mov&id="
popularurl = "http://www.gametrailers.com/top20.php"

of a site with trailers to modifie this script for a dutch site gammotv (http://www.gammotv.nl/index.php?p=)

[Kaer]

ah yep. forget abt the new change in format where media is now bunched together. hmm :)

i will try to think of a way soon.

and to get the address, use the view source, or just copy from the address bar. look for common portions.

why do you need gammotv if you have a great script like this! lol

(kijk ik toch liever naar gamekings maar hoe meer scripts des te beter)

[Kaer]

ok new version up!
changes:
media select
save option

[WarriorSan]

ok new version up!
changes:
media select
save option
thnx again..

[Genjuro]

wow, finally everything is perfect now.no more beta :d i especially like the fact that you have tried to copy the layout of the frontpage of gametrailers.com, nice idea and works really good. as i said a few posts above really the best gamingrelated script.thanks *:thumbsup:

[cantrip]

awesome script man! thanks for this sparkling gem!

[Kaer]

bumped
anyway, really glad all of u like the script!

haha, somebody else made a project mayhem ii background for it, i've no idea who though, but really thanks to the author. i only made some changes for the skin to fit better.

anyway, the package is at the website, so if you are using pm ii, well, this should fit it nicely.
http://kaer4.tripod.com

[cantrip]

would it be hard to add the option of getting *.mov or *.wmv?

i just tried doing a find/replace of 'mov' with 'wmv' in the script. *i didn't work, so i guess the webpaths are completely different for wmv?

[Kaer]

great suggestion!
only need to rename a few of them. get it from http://kaer4.tripod.com

[WarriorSan]

20/12/2004: project mayhem ii skin set as default. wasn't able to find the original author, but thanks for making it. i edited it to fit the screen better.

http://kaer4.tripod.com/gametrailers1.jpg

this background skin is maded by chokey himself.

[Striker]

is there a new bug?
i am no longer getting the images and the textnames are blurring together when you try to view different sections after another.

[corky]

your not alone, i also have the same problem as you.

my web radio don't work either.

was all ok the other day.

hmmm.... :veryangry:

[Livin]

same here...

gametrailers.py does not work

... says "grabbing"

... and just hangs.

gamespot.py works perfectly.

[Livin]

kaer, you around?

are you seeing any issue with the script like others are?

[Kaer]

sorry, i posted a reply on xbox-scene but didn't see this thread here. well, gametrailers updated their site once again, so the script is once again broken.

anyway, i just did the update, so download it from http://kaer4.tripod.com

[WarriorSan]

thnx again :d

[Striker]

nice work :)

[axavier]

amigos, does anybody know of a script that will do exactly what the gametrailers script does, but for music videos?

[Striker]

which site hosts music vids then which are freely downloadable??

[axavier]

sorry, i posted a reply on xbox-scene but didn't see this thread here. well, gametrailers updated their site once again, so the script is once again broken.

anyway, i just did the update, so download it from http://kaer4.tripod.com
i do not know if it is just me but i have downloaded the latest revision of the script and when i run it it gets stuck in grabbing information, when i click to select a video. do i need to modify anything on the script to make it work?

[Nuka1195]

amigos, does anybody know of a script that will do exactly what the gametrailers script does, but for music videos?
launchbrowser.py

[axavier]

kaer, if you are listening we are still having the same problem with the gametrailers script. can anybody confirm that version 1-4-2005 is working for them and if so, what version of xbmc are you running and what modifications you had to do to the script to make it work...

[Kaer]

damn, it seems like the script got broken again.
now the gametrailers site uses flash. lol...
i hope they make up their mind soon, i will see how much changes are required, if its too much, i will let it stablise for a couple of days before doing anything.

[StanKo]

[Genjuro]

thanks again kaer love your skripts and your fast updates.
:d

[axavier]

i confirm that as of today january 7th the script is working.....great stuff...
:bowdown:

[pangit]

the link doesn't seem to work. does anyone know where else i can get it from?

[DiGiTaL_SiN]

few questions,

why when i download a trailer it is downloaded at a very slow rate, although when i'm downloading it with my pc it's much faster?

where do the downloaded trailers go?

why when i finish downloading a trailer and i push the "save as..." button it gives me a text keyboard that sometimes after pressing enter says "wierd" and sometimes gives me a "saving...." box that doesnt seem to stop saving whatever it is saving?

i think its a great idea to download and save trailers, but i cant seem to figure out how this one works!

please! help!

thanks

[WarriorSan]

the script was working fine for me but since a few days all the gametrailers skip like hell and also downloading goes very slow but i don't think it depense on the script, tho

[gateway]

yea, i would like to get the latest verison of the script as well. can any one mirror it?

[Teknishun]

bump

[Teknishun]

found the script at

http://www.threezee.com/scripts/gametrailers/gametrailers.py

cheers.

[ktd]

so is there a working gametrailers script somewhere?

[Ph4renheit]

so can we get a confirmation that gametrailers doesn't work? i've been trying off an on for a week.

the trailer starts to cache, then stops. if i try to click something else my box freezes and i have to hard reboot.

[C-5]

it doesn't work for me either, and the link in this thread is dead.

anyone have an updated version?
