Title: Movie Trailers
Post by: Mr ChriZ on July 12, 2009, 06:03:59 am

Is there a podcast I can connect to which will download all the latest movie trailers for me automatically from Youtube in HD?

I've found this feed
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TrailerTVs

Although it doesn't seem to want to download the trailers, it just streams them, and they're not high def

What would be nifty is if MC could download all videos from this page

Aww wow there's going to be Toy Story 3 :-D

Cool. '9' looks great. I'd never heard of it until just now.

I have to admit I was thinking about this.

The HD trailers in XBMC are great, and it would be good to get something like this more natively available in MC.

Like, ahem, being linked to the movies in your library?  ;D

That would be useful too, if you could download a trailer, and using the stacking system to watch the trailers  :)

How about...

When a movie is imported, MC could autmoatically lookup YouTube for the trailer and insert the path into a "Trailer" field.

If MC cannot find the correct trailer, Right Click > Search youtube for trailer (ala cover art), which then saves the url to the Trailer field (rather than download the whole thing). Add the Trailer field to the Info panel (edit) as an option in the Back, Play etc section.

Of course, you could enter the data yourself, but with the right parameters I think the auto option would be great most of the time...

That would be so cool.
I don't know all the different sources for trailer data and what would suite MC best, but anyway; some sort of good trailer integration would hit the spot and make MC even better for movies. I use a Mac for this purpose today, but would be happy to throw the crap away :P
