play trailers while browsing movies - mrcleen74 - 2016-08-09

I was wondering if there was a setting or an addon that would allow a view in the skins to play the trailer of the movie I'm browsing in a window. Most of the movies in my library have a trailer since I've been using ember media manager so i thought it would be a cool feature. Kind of like hyperspin or launchbox use to give a snap of the video game in a window . Any suggestions would be welcomed. Still loving kodi. What an incredible media center it is.

Add-on:TvTunes

Albeit may require a mod either the regex or trailer file name

I apologize what is a regex? And would it help to have all the trailers in one folder? What kind of mod were you thinking?

Code:
<advancedsettings>
    <video>
        <!-- TvTunes: Section Start -->
        <excludefromscan action="append">
            <regexp>/Themes/</regexp>
            <regexp>[\\/]Themes[\\/]</regexp>
            <regexp>theme([0-9]*)\.(mp4|mkv|avi|mov|MP4|MKV|AVI|MOV)$</regexp>
        </excludefromscan>
        <excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">
            <regexp>/Themes/</regexp>
            <regexp>[\\/]Themes[\\/]</regexp>
            <regexp>theme([0-9]*)\.(mp4|mkv|avi|mov|MP4|MKV|AVI|MOV)$</regexp>
        </excludetvshowsfromscan>
        <!-- TvTunes: Section End -->
    </video>
</advancedsettings>

Changing the name of the trailer file, from trailer.ext to theme.ext
