Youtube made some changes.

JimH,

I upgraded to MC33 on a machine which errored out when "Play Trailer" was selected.  That option now plays the trailer, but without audio.  My custom link to play a trailer works flawlessly on MC33 and previous versions of MC.

<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">YouTube Trailer</Item>
<Item Name="Action">2</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://www.youtube.com</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////www.youtube.com//results?search_query=Hexify([Name] trailer)</Item>
<Item Name="Type">0</Item>
<Item Name="Program Path"/>
<Item Name="Program Parameters">"[Filename]"</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Video] [Media Sub Type]=[Movie]</Item>
</Link>

Mr Gadget ... silly question maybe, but how does one implement these parameters ... could you please give some basic instructions?
Does one copy and paste all together in a specific place?

How to add a link to YouTube to find trailers for a selected movie

Go to your Movies section in JRiver.  At the top right under the player control section you will see the standard links for Google, IMDB, etc.

Select the following section and right click/copy to put a copy of this section into your clipboard.


--- Code: ---<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">YouTube Trailer</Item>
<Item Name="Action">2</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://www.youtube.com</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////www.youtube.com//results?search_query=Hexify([Name] trailer)</Item>
<Item Name="Type">0</Item>
<Item Name="Program Path"/>
<Item Name="Program Parameters">"[Filename]"</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Video] [Media Sub Type]=[Movie]</Item>
</Link>

--- End code ---

Now right click on any existing link and select "Manage Links". Select "Add", and then click on "Paste Link Information From Clipboard" Click "OK" to save.

When you click on the YouTube Trailer link it will open YouTube in a new tab listing the results of the search for the movie you had selected.

Thanks for clear instructions, tried it and works well. Great addition to MC.
