Hi tdbnz. You don't really mention how skilled you are, which makes it harder to help.
If you already have an addon, perhaps post some relevant code

I think what you want is to have the listitems that you provide also have a value that is an url pointing to a trailer?
You can probably add that before you pass the listitem to Kodi. How you handle it in the skin is up to the skin.

Or (if I understand how addon-skinning works!) take the long and hairy (and rediculus) way and add the GUI-skinning inside your addon.. But then you cut off all the experienced skinners from ever making it look good.
But if that is what you want, the Hello World example is probably a good place to start:

Did you look at the wiki about addons?
http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_development

If you know how to make changes/additions to the addon you have, you might find inspiration in similar addons.
If you don't want to get into the whole coding thing, perhaps talk to the guys over in the addon support section?

Good luck with it

are you asking about metahandlers?

[tdbnz]

I would like to post it up but I will be caught on piracy and get banned if I am allowed to post it I will

How about a rewrite of that statement.. perhaps with some more details on your question.

Should be perfectly fine to use metahandlers, it is in the official repo.. it simply scrapes movie/tv metadata for queries you provide

But op's question is more direct, basically you just need to fill in the infoLabel['trailer'] when creating a list item

If you want it to launch in the official youtube addon, then you can do this:

First get the youtube video id:

Code:

trailer_id = re.match('^[^v]+v=(.{3,11}).*', meta['trailer_url'])

Then create the proper url and set it to the 'trailer' label:

Code:

meta['trailer'] = 'plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=%s' % trailer_id

Then apply it to your listitem:

Code:

liz.setInfo(type="Video", infoLabels=meta)

If you need more, then you can use my metahandlers script as it will do this and grab everything else for you

I not that good at coding I think it going to be more of a hassle to do it any way I have tried

thanks folks
