MBC with MPC-HC as external player. Enter a film with a trailer, trailer plays as background. Press play, and movie starts in external player but the trailer continues to play in the background MBC. Is there any way to get MBC to send a stop command to stop playing the trailer before it sends the play command to mpc-hc? Or is there another way around this?

Hi, Recently I have experienced a problem with the playback priority of trailers. I usually download all trailers locally to the movie folder and this is the trailer being played back in MBC. However lately I noticed the quality of the trailer being poor and buffering going on, so I started investigating. It seems that when I select to playback trailer, it will first stream the trailer(s) defined in the trailer URL tag(s), and then it will playback my local trailer. Could you please change this back, so if a local trailer exist - then only playback this or at least playback first. If a local doesn't exist then I am fine with playing the URL as a streamed trailer - although I would prefer a higher resolution for those trailers. I am using: MBC 3.0.243.0 MB 3.0.5490.2 I have trailers plugin 1.0.5498.21443 installed as well, but I don't this has any influence. I believe the fault lies within either MBC or Server in terms of priority of local trailers. Best regards, Lars-Heine

Is there a way to not have trailers (either from the channel folder or before a movie in cinema mode) to not launch an external player (mpc-hc)? My current setup uses the external player feature in MBC for all my movies (which are in .mp4 format), and now it seems the Internet trailers are streaming in .mp4. So the external player loads the stream and plays it. This process takes a little while (about 30 seconds or so) for every streaming trailer, so it would be nice if the trailers could just be played by the internal player and not trigger the external one to fire up. I was looking in the server to see if there is a way for me to change the .mp4 extension of the trailers, but since I have them streaming I do not think I can. Hope that someone can help. Thank You

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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 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"

I'm confused! I am running server Version 3.0.5271.29451 and have the trailers plugin installed. I also under the "Channels" section have "Enable channel content downloading for:" enabled and I have set a custom directory. I have let the "Download channel content" task run automatically and manually over the last couple of days. So, my question: Why are the trailers and channel trailers available in the web client / MBT and MBC all iTunes streaming content? If I look in the custom download folder I have a sub folder with a name that looks like some sort of GUID and then 70 mp4 files also with names looking like GUIDs. How do I access these downloaded 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?

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

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.

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
