A way to view movie trailer or synopsis in Theater View?
« on: December 28, 2008, 10:08:09 am »

Is this possible? We're always in the situation where my gf asks "What's this movie about?" and it would be nice to see a trailer in Theater View by pressing a button :)

Where would the trailer be located?
How would you reference the trailer in MC?
Add a field called 'trailer' and put in the path to the trailer file there?
In that case, you may as well just import the trailer into the library, name it exactly as the movie name but add 'trailer' at the end of the name field.
Then in your viewsheme sort by name.  The main movie and it's trailer would be right next to each other.

I think being able to click a button and have the bios field pop up in a semitransparent window would be nice.

A quick search will reveal this has been discussed at length previously  ;)

Where? I didn't find any information whatsoever, both using forum search and google

About how, I thought using the new links to IMDB, RT or Youtube could be the easiest way.. perhaps opening that in THeater View with a simple navigation like on cell phones..?

Not Trailers per se, but synopsis/actor info etc...

Otherwise, zxsix' suggestion is about the only way I can think of to do it, only I'd give them a common setting (The movie title) in a custom field and include that field in my Theater View view scheme. A little cleaner than having both show up on the one sreen IMO.

Hm.. I was thinking more like the clicking of the top link Imdb (or a custom one, like youtube), but in Theater view...it would be sooo useful!
