Hi

Never used it before but tried Play Trailer for first time ... Not working - got error message (see attached screenshot)
Tried it on all movies.
Also disabled anti virus to test it, no difference.
Took "Trailer" tag address and copy paste in browser, seems to bring up search on the movie.
Windows 10
MC v30.0.96

Try a search. I think you have to download your own trailers.

YouTube is a moving target. There is a recent fix for the downloader that will only appear in MC 31 at this time. MC31 build 46 or later.

1. Changed: Updated the YouTube downloader to make YouTube clips work again.

I have found the "Play Trailer" option problematic.  I created a link in standard view that always works, even when the other (right click/play trailer) method fails.  Below are the parameters for the Youtube Trailer link:

<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>

Test MC33.

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.

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: [Select]

<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>

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.
