When I play trailer via Trailers menu or Channels in FF 34, I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." strobing while playing the trailer. But this does not happen while playing in IE 11. Local trailer play fine in both browsers.

I have just configured Cinema Mode and it appears to work fine - I haven't actually watched a movie since configuring it. I say it works fine because when I go to my Trailers Folder (I have another tool that downloads/updates my trailers and I use MB to monitor it). It plays the trailer and the Intro Movie and then the trailer I selected. Is there anyway to configure MB so Cinema Mode doesn't kick in on a Trailers folder. The folder is configured as Mixed Movie and Episodes. There doesn't appear to be a option for Trailers. If I configure the folder as anything else. Will the Meta stuff still work?

Actually I'm not asking something complex just could' t find any other topic title. I'm getting "Playback started" pushover and desktop notifications for trailers and my pre-roll videos before the movie starts. This means I got 4 notification per movie playback start-up. This is kind a annoying. I think notifications must be disabled for these types of titles. Or at least it can be a user preference/option.

I installed MB today and in many hours trying to configuring I have not managed to get cinema mode/trailers before a movie to work. I configured the Cinema Mode on the server so it gets "Internet Trailers", no local trailers are configured. The description is confusing since it says this feature requires a membership (I installed the channel trailer plugin), but then the plugin says it's in trial mode. So does this mean cinema mode is supposed to work, at least for the 14 days or does it mean cinema mode with internet trailers would not work AT ALL without a supporter membership? I am using MBT as player, configured with madVR from my Win8.1 machine. Also..the cinema mode/trailers are not working if I were to use XBMC as client with the XBMB3 plugin. It also doesn't work from the web interface, short it doesn't work at all for me. Also: I am using UNC network paths as media paths on the server since I don't have a need to transcode, all media is directly accessed on my LAN. (I

Wondering if someone can help please? I use MB Classic with the diamond theme and love it. However I have two niggling issues that's driving me batty. 1. I've added the trailers plug in, and before I went and played around with the web client to get images to show up for my boxsets and trailers menu, my main menu was showing three categories that I had setup, Movies, Boxsets and Trailers. Now however, my Trailers selection menu has changed to displaying Channels and when I click into Channels, it then goes into my Trailers menu, which I don't like. But I don't know how to revert it back to what it was originally, just to show my three main categories again. When I open up media centre and go in MB Classic, I want to see Movies, Boxsets and Trailers. 2. I filter my movies in Genre view and within that view I have nice local coverart for all my genres I have set up, like Animation, Action, Family, Drama and so on. I don't know when this happened but lately when I go into my movies all my genres except two are showing up as they should. For the Family and Drama genre however, I now have two folders of Family and Drama and when I select into the folders, they display the exact same movies in each folder. That is one Family folder has 200 movies and the other Family folder has 200 movies which is identical to each other. This is the same for the Drama folder as well. All the other genres are displaying correctly however, there is only one instance of each genre folder. I hope the above is clear and ANY help would be much appreciated.

Issue: until recently, everything was fine - MB was set up to play trailers before a movie, and I could browse channels like TwiT, Vimeo, and the Trailers channel. Then about a week ago, my Supporter license vanished from the server, and Channels and Trailers all vanished. I managed to resolve this by re-pasting my Supporter key to the server (similar to these issues), but ever since then, I've had issues of stuttering or non-loading trailers (usually the first frame loads and then it freezes, a bit similar to this issue). At first I wondered if the deactivation of the license had affected the plugin, so I removed and reinstalled the Trailers plugin, but to no avail. I also noticed that other channels (TwiT, Vimeo etc) have also stopped being accessible or only partially load. YouTube videos play just fine in Chrome, so it's not a network or internet issue at my end. The problem affects local users on WMC as well as web users of the server. Additional observation: possibly related, I did notice that even after disabling the Trailers plugin and restarting the server, it was still attempting to play trailers before movies. I could not find a correlation between Trailers and the trailer behaviour. I wondered if there might be a conflict with the Advanced Intros plugin, but after uninstalling that the behaviour was the same as before. Environment: Windows 7 MB Server: 3.0.5424.1 Plugin: Advanced Intros 1.0.4.0 Plugin: Trailers 1.0.5400.40708 (Release) Cinema Mode settings: Playback -> Cinema Mode Internet trailers (all three checked) Number of trailers to play (1) Enable smart parental control (checked) Only use trailers from unwatched content (checked) Log files: here are the last few logs for yesterday and today https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j0i9qdw80n49jb4/AABqK-ymTeiWG4tNeqjOLXoMa?dl=0

So I've searched around, but have not found the answer I'm looking for. I would like to know if there is a way to show movie trailers in Media Center via the Media Browser. I know this is possible when I look at my library via the Web Client, but not useful, as I never look at the Web Client. I like to watch my movies via Media Center, because I have it connected to my home theater. The whole point of Media Browser and Media Center for me, is to be able to navigate everything using my remote controller, and getting away from the mouse and keyboard thing. The interface is also much nicer in Media Center, as opposed to having an ugly web browser displayed on my projector, just to watch Web Client. Hopefully someone helps me with this, and I can preview movies by watching a trailer in Media Center. Would be a great feature. Thank you, Andrej BTW my Media Browser is Version 3.0.5424.1.

I recently updated to the latest dev version of MBC, and even though I have enabled Cinema mode, it does not play trailers before the movie. Attached is a log. MBClassic-19112014b8fcbf1f52074d3aa3bf923c596e8592.log

I have my own folder full of trailers (I use the MetaBrowser "Current Trailers" feature). I've added this as a media folder and it works really well with MBC as my "Trailers" collection just shows up on the EHS. I'm pretty sure that a while back when I added this folder to MBS I had the option of selecting "Trailers" as a media type - this caused the trailers to show up in the trailers section of the web UI (IRC). But, it appears something had changed - there's now no "Trailers" media type, the trailers section of MBS is empty and worst of all - all my trailers appear in the movies section as (really short) movies. Can we have a "Trailers" media type please?

I would really love an option for a indicator overlay for trailers, I like sapphire and diamond cases, and by adding this I would be more willing to initiate the server toggle "Display trailers with movie suggestions"

What is the download limit on local trailers? App: Download limit has been reached for Trailers

All trailers, no matter if selected by Cinema, MB Intros, or played manually via the Trailers channel, are extremely low quality and heavily pixelated. I have tried changing all the options for quality in the Trailers channel, but the result is the same. Trailers played directly through a web browser at the Apples Trailer site on the same machine at 1080p or 720p start almost immediately, and without pixelation so I suspect it is not a connection speed issue. Any suggestions other than to download trailers locally?

Hello, before the Cinema updates, I had the MB Intros plugin which worked fine to display two streaming trailers in WMC and then the main feature would play using the external player (MPC-HC). However, I recently updated to the latest version of everything (MBC, MBS, MB Intros) but with either the Cinema mode on (with MB Intros uninstalled) or MB Intros plug-in (Cinema disabled), everything plays in WMC. If I disable Cinema mode or the MB Intros plug-in entirely, then the main feature opens in the external player. Thanks!

Anybody know where/how to change the folder.jpg & thumb for the trailer channel?

Hi all I have around 250+ movies in our collection we have the trailer plugin v1.0.5364.36078 but for some reason we have no trailers downloading ?? I have had the trailer app for over 3months Is there something I have to do to get this working ? I am using the crystal skin v1.0.12.0 any help would be greatly appreciated.......... regards brett

It seems that the downloading of movie trailers into the Channels section has stopped. The last mp4 files that are in the directory are dated 24 days ago. If I run the scheduled task to download Channel content it runs and completes in 1-2 seconds. The trailers section in the web client has 26 movies but these will attempt to stream as they have not been downloaded. My internet connection is rubbish so they are not viewable when streaming. Are others seeing this behaviour?

Last couple weeks I was on a quest to find perfect software to handle my movie and music collection... I tried everything... After I saw MediaBrowser Server in action I was hooked... It is the solution! But... MediaBrowser Theater is miles away form meeting my needs... It needs at least some kind of music collection support. Anyway... So far, XBMC front end looks very promising. I never used it before, so maybe I just missed something. There some themes that don't really support mouse.. I figured out that "I" open Information screen. I really like Dark version of Arctic theme for ex... Does it support trailers? Not like collection of trailers, but like trailer for each movie.. The only theme that I saw with Trailer button is Titan port from MediaPortal, but it installs YouTube add-on and offers me to choose trailer... This button has nothing to do with MediaBrowser, right? I saw that MediaBrowser already contains links to just one trailer, that's enough for me... Is there a theme that uses that link? And how to get to it?

This is a very minor feature enhancement request. When clicking on the "Trailer" button (for any Movie) using the builtin webclient... instead of opening up a whole new Web browser tab with the orignal Youtube video URL, to open in an embedded video Window instead; with the option to go fullscreen. This would give it more of a seamless look and feel for Trailers.

I have noticed that the trailers plugin is no longer downloading the trailers anymore. If I clear the cache/channels cache/temp cache/transcoding-temp and the place to which the plugin moves the downloaded trailers (which is on a different set of drives) and refire the channel downloading task, it will download the trailers the first time around but the plugin seems to lose them in the shuffle to the different drives. Then the plugin starts spewing errors about how the file path already exists when it attempts to redownload the trailers. I am running Linux server 3.0.5326 and the latest trailers plugin. server-log.txt

I've noticed over the last couple weeks that the trailers channel has not been getting the most recent trailers. The last couple trailers it got where available from the itunes trailers site on the 15th. Nothing since then has made it to me. I reinstalled the channel in the case that something had no gotten updated (or whatever) and still no dice. Running server Version 3.0.5309.26857.

Recently I enabled the "Enable channel content downloading for: Trailers" option and set the download path to a 8 TB server. No problem there. I then noticed that my 120 GB SSD (with the regular MBS cache completely filled up, causing my system to throw "out of memory errors". The culprit was a "TEMP directory created inside the normal MBS cache directory. I decided to move the MBS cache to a striped Hard disc with about 160 GB space left. It too got filled up I did some testing and here is what I found: If you enable the "Enable channel content downloading for: Trailers" and set a special Path on a large server, the Trailers do get downloaded to that directory, without any issues. However no matter where you download the trailers, MBS creates 2 more directories (Channels & TEMP) in the regular Cache location. For most people this is in "C:\Users\"your-user-name-here"\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\cache". The above "Channel" directory gets only a couple of entries and does not create problems. The TEMP directory, fills up with HUGE amounts of data and the *.tmp* files (as in 610a216c-948b-46ab-b746-14ea8220f61c.tmp), do not get deleted. The only workaround I found was to disable the channel content downloading for Trailers

Hi All, I started a topic in the Media Browser Classic forum as I have been having issues with the Trailers not playing, or if they do, really odd behaviour (such as how they were buffering, would play fine once, play them again straight away and there would be stuttering. I think I fixed the stuttering by increasing the Remote MBPS to 30 in the MBC3 config. However, there seems to be a bigger issue and it was suggested I create a topic here, so I am. The issue is that after 4-5 trailers (viewing in a row) and subsequent trailers when viewed (when the PLAY is clicked/selected) produces a black play screen and nothing happens, even leaving it for 1-2 minutes, there is nothing. I opened the log and watched what was happening. When playing a trailer, the log fills up with information, showing it is going to the external website to stream the trailer, etc. When I play a trailer and get a BLACK screen, the log is empty. There are no commands sent to the external website requesting the trailer, there is no information a trailer was select, or any commands issued by MBC3. etc. However, if I close MBC3, then reopen it, and try the trailer again, it works fine, until I play a few more, then it does the same BLACK screen. I have the latest plugin version (don't have that in front of me atm). The MBS and MBC are on the same PC. I don't view anything through the Web Interface from any other device, so I don't know if the trailers work fine that way. I am only interested in them working with the MBC3 plugin in Media Centre (Win7). Any ideas?

The function to download trailers locally for movies in my collection almost always downloads the wrong trailer unless the movie is very new. The strange thing is that it keeps downloading the same wrong trailer over and over and over--The Double starring Richard Gere. Why is it downloading bad trailers and why is it always the same trailer?
