You need to read the readme.txt file for the config instructions. Really the defaults will work but by default they will get the highest quality trailers. This could result in some very large HighDefinition Trailers (between 120 and 200 megs)

Good tip, seeing the text let me see my stupid error. Seems to be working pretty well now, sweet! I get a lot of "Found Fake One" but then it downloads a trailer anyway. Is it just finding that one of the links for a given trailer is bad, but then finds finds a smaller trailer or something?

No the "Found Fake One" actually refers to a stupid thing that apple does. Some of the .mov file that you watch from apple are actually just xml files coded with the name of the real .mov file. So if you just download the first .mov file then what you get is a small ~11k xml file with some garbage and then the name of the real .mov file. So when it prints "Found Fake One" that means it found the .mov file that needs to be parsed. Then it parses that xml file and gets the real file.
Hope I explained this well.

It's still skipping a theater for me. On zip code 47201, Fandango lists two theaters, Showplace Commons 2 and Kerasotes Showplace 12, the plugin only grabs listings for the first theater on the list...both are on page 1, but it only grabs the first theater

Hey Nedens,

Any idea as to the proper codecs to have installed? I get audio with some of the .mov files but not all?? I have installed the latest k-lite full codec pack ver 2.66 but still no joy?

you need quicktime alt. I had the old version and tonight had to download the newest one.

Yeah I installed the 1.67 version (latest version available to date as of Dec 6 2005 from http://www.free-codecs.com) and still had the same issues with most of the trailers playing without sound. I then installed the latest version of Quicktime to see if that would work and still no joy... that is when I updated my klite codec pack to the latest and greatest... again no joy ;(

Nedens - some quick feedback I tried setting the config.txt file so that I would not end up d/l any HD trailers as follows:

[INDENT]trailer_quality=1[/INDENT]

I assume that I can only choose "0" or "-1" since the setting of "1" seems to err out with the following message:

[COLOR="Red"]Trailer Count: 65

Yes that is correct only 0 or -1 will work.
The readme.txt file says
trailer_quality - this should be 0 for best quality and -1 for lowest quality (Please Note: Best quality can sometimes be High Def and the file sizes can exceed 150 megs.)

However even if set for lowest quality it will still attempt to get a hd trailer if there is no other option. If most people would prefer I can put another option in the config to specify wether or not to get any hd trailers. I would have to look into this and see if it is possible (if apple marks all of there hd trailers as such). So if people want it we need to hear from them and I can get it implimented.

Also the current version will get the "large.html" version of the trailers as being the lowest quality. In the new version (due out some time today) the lowest quality to get will be the "small.html" version.

I too am having problems with this. I believe it has something to do with the new version of quicktime using a special mpeg4 audio streem in 3vix format. However I think we will have to wait for the new version of 3vix to come out and support it. If anyone else has an answer let me know but I believe after searching the concensus on the web is that some trailers will only play withen quicktime or quicktime alternative properly.

If possible that would be great - this way I don't have to worry about filling up my HDD with trailers Smile BTW nice work on this plugin, I read your postings in the other thread regarding the "time to live" and tighter integration with the Theatre plugin... sounds like this is going to be one kick A$$ plugin when everything comes together... My only hope that no one changes their site to often Smile

Thanks again,
