Trailers no longer play for me.   When I select play trailer the movie starts playing.

What's the best way to start troubleshooting this?

Make sure you're running the latest copy of Media Center because we've made some improvements.

That was it.

I have only english trailers, can we have different language trailer ? Like the same language settings on JRiver? Italian, French.. I think that JRiver needs to search on Youtube for this as Kodi

I would like to push that request also as a "not native English speaker".

As far as I understand the metadata mostly come from TMDB. This site is available in diffrent languages, and if you change the language switch in the options for that metadata you get the metadata for instance in German language. The trailer link in MC also seem to point to TMDB that also hosts trailers and covers (also in diffrent languages available on that site!). But the trailer link does not change when you switch the language in the "look up metadata" field.

Is it possible to have MC looking up the available trailer in the language that is selected, as they are mostly available trough TMDB.
Maybe only if a forreign language trailer is not available on that site use English as a "fallback" language, so there is always a trailer found to the related movie.

The ability to switch languages for the metadata was a huge step forward for all foreign users once implemented in MC23(?) and personally improved how also my kids can now use MC without limitations and understand movie summaries or TV episode titles.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Still loving  this feature. It has a small user experience problem though...
At the movie list, you drill into a title and choose the trailer, when the trailer ends, it kicks you back to the file list.
I feel it ought to drop you back where you came from.
Anyone have an opinion about this?

Again, late to the party, but just noticed this in 25.0.101 (64 bit) and I agree, it should drop you back where you selected the trailer

How should I deal the case where the movie folder presents already aone or more trails? actually the get imported as regular video and I stack the trailers together with the main movie file but I do not like this option. I also experimented a 'Trailer' video subtype but I am not too much happy as well
Thanks

I'm not sure I can reproduce.  I find a movie in a thumbnail view with a trailer.  I right-click and pick "Play Trailer."  When the trailer finishes, I'm put right back where I came from.

I also tried a pane view and my selected pane stayed after playback.

What type of view is not maintaining?  Thanks.

Ahh... Apologies Matt, this is Theater View I'm talking about... Dropped the feedback ball on that one!

[Matt]

Well I'm not sure I can reproduce that either.  I pick a movie with a trailer and zoom in.

I pick "Trailer", then the trailer plays.

When it finishes, I'm back in the Theater View list with the same movie selected.  It's not zoomed in anymore, but I'm not even sure if that's right or wrong?

[marko]

Instinctively, I expected to be dropped back where I came from, "zoomed in". It's a minor itch to have to zoom back in after watching a trailer, and I haven't had a melt down in the eight months since bringing it up, so not a deal breaker. It's like a little speed bump in the flow of things as you're browsing around... After the trailer ends, you have to adjust to the fact you're no longer where you were when the trailer started... and it gets me every time.

As I said, not a deal breaker... but...

[Matt]

You drive a hard bargain, but next build:
Changed: Theater View will save when it's zoomed into a file so returning to Theater View will still be zoomed in.

Thanks for the help.

I'd prefer that the "Trailer" option in the roller always shows up and if you attempt to play a trailer for a movie that doesn't have that field set it will offer to get it for you at that time all without leaving theater view.

Did this ever get added for theater view?

If so, did it get added to the right click menu for standard view?

I've modified various artwork, movie descriptions, titles, etc. I really would not like to do that again for thousands of movies...

Trailer playback no longer works in MC 25 and MC 26.

I'm Having the same issue, anyone else not able to play trailers anymore?

[dwalme]

I'm having the same problem as the two above.

Did anyone figure this out?

I'm using v26.0.30.    The movie I am testing does have a trailer (webmedia://Youtube/....) is the Trailer tag.
