International Cinema Listings plugin version 4

If Trailers dir doesn't exist, you get

System.Net.WebException: An exception occurred during a WebClient request. --->
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Prog

Check for existence of Trailers dir, create if doesn't exist.

Any plans on downloading movie posters? That would be cool. How about control over trailer quality? I see right now it says Low.

Also if trailer already exists, then don't download again.
And when you select a movie, have it say "Press PLAY to view trailer" at the bottom of the window if the trailer exists on hard drive.

It already does this I belive.

And when you select a movie, have it say "Press PLAY to view trailer" at the bottom of the window if the trailer exists on hard drive.

You can press play from the moive info popup, not just on the "press play..." bit. But yeah, maybe a message would be helpful.

Done for next the release.

On the todo list. Looking for a good source if you have any suggestions?

On todo list. Wanted to get the trailers feature out in the wild first.

3) - when i try to view by film i get the following error message - error: object reference not set to an instance of an object

What do you mean by this? What skin are you using?

when i select RIALTO cinema in WELLINGTON the session dates and times etc are not displaying correctly

when i try to view by film i get the following error message - error: object reference not set to an instance of an object

These are most likely related, probably due to a change in the website. Post your logs (the normal GBPVR one and InternationalCinemaListingsPlugIn.exe.log), the cinema ID(s) you're using and I'll take a look.

sorry i mean like the background image etc are mapping to what must be a default cause its the same with all skins i choose - blue - basic/bliss etc.

attached are my logs - im using the following cinema id's

nzcinemas.co.nz - 1016
nzcinemas.co.nz - 1017
hoytsnz.ninemsn.com.au - 1mml
skycitycinemas.co.nz - EMB
Rialto.co.nz - r03

i think the text issues are with EMB and R03 as the others seems to appear ok.

hope this helps

Just tried the cinema plugin today. The trailer feature is great! On my normal 4:3 tv the trailers are stretched vertically to fill the screen. How can I tell it to preserve the aspect ratio leaving black bars on the top and bottom.

[McBainUK]

Thanks

I just tell GB-PVR to play the downloaded MPEG. I believe there is a shortcut to change the aspect ratio - F11 maybe - check on the wiki.

Nice job on this Plugin! The trailers really are a great addition!

One request I think would be useful is an addition to the plugin's config page to allow a user-defined location for the trailers. It would be great if I could have these stored to one of my external drives and not to the C drive.

F7 is the default button to change aspect ratio
