jorm,

On the GBPVR wiki for your Theater Listing plugin you say:

Quote:Eventually would like to tie it in to the trailers.

have you thought about this anymore? Wink maybe working on it? Smile

It is on my list. And it would be fairly easy to do. I have stretched myself pretty thin with all of my plugins/tools.

There is a script that downloads all of the trailers. I have not had time to try it yet. If the trailers are in a format that is playable via gbpvr I can quickly add the logic to play the file. I just havent had time to research it yet.

If you want to help download the gettrailers thing from wiki and let me know how it works were it puts the files and maybe a list of names of the files. Then I can add the play logic if they are there.

Sure I'd like to help....as much as I can. I've already downloaded the getall movies script. Installed perl and downloaded trailers. I'm at work right now but off the top of my head the files are .mov files. You have to edit the .cfg file to tell it where you want your files to go. Unfortunately its not a plugin more like an utility. Its a perl script.

Quote:were it puts the files and maybe a list of names of the files.

Not sure if you want the actual file listing of the utility but here it is:

apple.pm
configure.pm
gogetemall.cfg
index.idx
index.pm
killfile.txt
lwpcookies.txt
readme.txt
support.pm
version.txt

Files are in their own directory off gbpvr.

Readme text:

Gogetemall v2.1
2/17/04

with help from Charlie (aafflyer@myhtpc.net)
================


This script is a spin off of "getmytrailers" and is designed to scrape
http://www.apple.com/trailers to get a list of movie trailers currently
being 'shown'. The script will go through each studio and find each film
by the studio and then when the list is built, will go through looking
for the embedded links to the quicktime trailers - downloading any successful
links.

It will not download a trailer if it already exists, so you can rerun the
script and just have it add new ones. It makes no attempt to be bandwidth
friendly, or diskspace friendly. Make sure you have plenty of both and use
with discretion. Apple will probably change the website if this script is
used too heavily and loads their servers too much.

It's easy to use/install, simple put the files into a directory, create
somewhere for the trailers to go (recommend a subdirectory to the pl file
called trailers) and then run it with

perl gogetemall.pl to use the default cfg file

or perl gogetemall.pl -cfg=myconfig.cfg to specify your own cfg file


Note, this will take a very long time to complete so be patient!

There ARE more movie trailers on apples web site if you look at their
individual pages for each studio. However that page is far harder to parse
automatically and doesn't have much in the way of recent clips to show. So this
script sticks to the main page which has pretty much ALL new releases by all studios.

It will ALSO include all movies listed under exclusive and/or newest trailer
sections if that studio is included.

By default, I have included ALL studios that are currently showing on apples.com website.
You can comment out studios you're not interested in, or add new ones as they appear on
apples site by editing the cfg file and commenting out or adding new studio names

Note, these names correspond to the start of the urls to movies as on the main
apple.com page. NOT the text name of the studio. Ie the link could be

"lions_gate\moviename"

so the name in the list is "lions_gate" not "Lions gate studios"

(Ps, make sure you have perl installed and in your path! goes without saying really)


If you need help, either post to the myhtpc thread in the original plugins forum, or send an email to
support@htpctools.com

So the cfg tells where the trailers are placed. When you get home can you do a dir > list.txt in that directory so I can get an idea of the file names of the trailers.

Jorm,

It's actually pretty straight forward. The filename is typically in the form of:

Movie Title.mov

An example is:

Batman Begins.mov
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.mov
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.mov
The Weatherman.mov

So it should be fairly simple to take from the Theater listing, and scan whatever directory that the user has their trailers stored in (they all go into the same directory, no subdirectories), and give an option to play the MOV if it finds a match.

They of course would need to have Quicktime Alternative installed so that GBPVR could play the mov files. Transcoding might have to be done to play on an MVP.

thanks for the info. v6.3 is posted. It will display a trailer button if the video is found under gbpvr\trailers. Configure your cfg to download to that location.

currently I am not doing transcoding if someone can find a free command line that will transcode a mov into a mpeg please let me know.

It works! Very nice. Now for a couple comments if you don't mind. Can you make it so that the trailers directory can be user configurable? I have my videos and recordings on a different drive. I keep gbpvr and my operating system separate.

The other is for us MVP users.

Quote:currently I am not doing transcoding if someone can find a free command line that will transcode a mov into a mpeg please let me know.

Whats the chance of this happening? I'll search far and wide if I new what I was searching for. Can you explain this for me? Thanks for coming out with this new version. Big Grin
