Can anyone run thru a tutorial to help a copmlete noob with the trailor plugin on wiki?

I odnt know any perl or anything like that, so i dont know how to get it to run.

Thanks!

Hi,

It's very simple actually.
Go to http://www.activeperl.com/Products/ActivePerl/?mp=1 and download the free activeperl app. Once install you can execute .pl files.

After unzipping the GetAllMovies zip file (trailers utility) into the GBPVR directory you will find there (in the unzipped directory) a .cfg file in which you can define where to download the trailers... (very simple and self explanatory) simply edit the file with notepad...

Once done double click the GetAllmovies.pl file and WAIT (several hours) for the app to download the movie trailers into the directory you chose in the .cfg file.

Good luck

what sort of file sizes are the trailors, and how many does it download?

still confused.
I edited the cfg file, i think i have the right
however the .pl file opens in notepad.

i have installed perl..
any help??

file sizes are 20-50MB... lots of files.
I think that currently the directory size for me is about 2GB

Does the plugin convert the trailers to mpeg so they can be played via MVP?

No you will need to use GBPVR's built in transcodeing mechanism to do that or one of the Video Plugins that support transcoding.

or just install quicktime alternative
