** updated 01/06/2013** Plugin: Trailers 2.8

Would this work with an existing local file with no internet connection?

[KAD]

yes, it can find trailers stored locally either in the same directory as the movie or in a centralized directory for trailers

the locally stored trailers must be named .<Title>_Trailer.mp4

it has tob e in mp4 format?

[KAD]

currently yes, it only looks for an mp4

I set it that way because mp4 is what this plugin would download from imdb

however, that said

if you have a specific format you want to use, editing the Trailer.plugin.js to meet your needs should be very easy

open in notepad++ then seach & replace mp4 with whatever it is you're wanting to use

top left hand corner, it would be pretty obvious

edit: what firmware are you on?

Grml, it has been a while where i didn't try to do anything! Very sorry for the enormous delay.

my firmware is: "1.02.21_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.4.7.3" right now.

should i update to "1.05.04_V-WDLXTV-Live-0.5.1.1 [flash]"?

just to be sure: i have the wdtv live - thats the correct box, right?

[KAD]

no upgrading to 1.05.04 ... will not help,

the live is the correct box and yes, you should be on a 1.02.21 based firmware
you still might want to upgrade to http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=6102 1.02.21 WDLXTV 5.1.1 as the 4.7.3 you're running is very old
also make sure WDTVext is enabled

Do i need to follow any special rule when i update from one b-rad to another b-rad version? it has been a very long time (as you commented yourself) since i had anything to do with wdlxtv

[KAD]

you'll probably have to edit the .ver file

Would you mind explaining why this works?
Whenever I visit a direct link to a trailer on IMDB, I'm told "Access Denied"...
This site is the only site on google I found the occurance of 'http://video-http.media-imdb.com/' on.
Anyway, I tried this link, and I was given 'Access Denied'. I may have misinterpreted this post, but it appears you've got around this.
I'd appreciate it if you could explain how you made it possible.

EDIT: Nevermind, unless you could somehow explain me being able to do it now and not earlier today, when I'm fairly certain I'm doing the exact same thing...
If you've no idea, feel free to delete this post.

my initial thoughts are that the authorization key pair does expire

but here's how I did it

1. generic search by name - Note - I'm getting an error for generic name search tonight

Code: Select all

http://app.imdb.com/find?q=

returns json response
parse and extract IMDBID "tconst"

2. search by IMDBID

Code: Select all

http://app.imdb.com/title/maindetails?tconst=tt1345836

returns json response
parse and extract trailer ID
and other info wanted

3. search for trailer

Code: Select all

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi895394585/html5?format=240p

- note format can be changed to 240p, 480p, 720p

returns html text
extract real url for playback
this real url should include the key pair which allows access
example

Code: Select all

http://video-http.media-imdb.com/MV5BMTMzNzQxNzIxM15BMTFeQW1wNF5BbWU3MDQ0MDY0Nzc@.mp4?Expires=1340190879&Signature=fCFTJ9gbE8IYf4lLDrKqMEzg0WIpwGdT7MwB651e12tPhuNSehg1gwghNe-CNNnX8mnib65KWJXQWcf70rl4VDUcfqNFACuhCqavDYji9jQ7hJ~Uhfspf2Ik65Fen8zSl74s8~6yjpJ2sEsbJuJIAfZ4dsbv56Jshyv7FszVkm4_&Key-Pair-Id=APKAILW5I44IHKUN2DYA&hint=flv

another good example is the umsp plugin for imdb trailers which can be found here http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=6191
this is the php plugin I used as my example of how to access imdb's api
