IT WORKS!!!

I'm not sure what you did but it works. Tried about 5 trailers and they all worked.

Got the following log while downloading the trailers. Some are not found which is strange since they are they are available. At least I think they are

The playing works great. Great job McBainUK. Thanks alot. I will keep you posted when it has updated the whole thing later this week.

(I only show a few, much more trailers are not found)

I assume this was on the MPV with your generated MPG files, if so good to hear

It all depends on what they are called and if the names match. Remember the plug-in downloads the files from Dave's Trailers, not any trailers linked to on the individual sources. Maybe in a future release I can look into fuzzy matching of the film titles, will see.

that would be good for things like... spider man 3. which had a trailer, but then Spider man 3, the IMAX experience, no go, also no info for that...

might be a good idea to have some special handling for "IMAX" so if there is no information found you would check for a title that is similar, and use that info/trailer... might have to be limited to already downloaded film info, since it would be a pain to go find it

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I'll tell you want would be really cool. Could you pull down ratings for the films from metacritic/rotten tomatoes? I always check those before I go and see a film at the cinema, and it really would make your plugin a one-stop-shop.

Fantastic plugin by the way

what does IMDB use for ratings? I think they get pulled down with the film info if you use IMDB as a source

[Obsidian]

I think the IMDB ones are just from user ratings on that site. I'll look to see if I can do that, as it would be better than nothing. I personally prefer the ones at metacritic though, as they are an aggregation of the reviews of a large number of professional reviewers. I generally find that this gives a pretty accurate reflection of a films quality.
