I am looking for the button code that is used to play a trailer, as is done on the Movie Info dialog.

I am wanting to map a button on my remote using EventGhost, so when I press the button, the trailer for the selected movie in the list is played.

I have tried to figure it out, but can not determine how XBMCis doing it.

- I ran XBMC and played a trailer, then checked the XBMC.Log, no help there...

- I found no button code or commands in the DialogVideoInfo.xml.

I am thinking that XBMC has to use some sort of wild card to look for *-Trailer.* in the folder the movie is located in, as the extension is different most of the time such as .mov, .mpg ect....

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You'd need:

1. The infolabel for the trailer - not sure whether there is one or not.
2. To use that together with a PlayMedia() call to play it, eg PlayMedia(ListItem.whatever_gets_you_the_trailer)

Cheers,

When used in a skin many of us use:

<ondown>XBMC.PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.Trailer],1,noresume)</ondown>

Taking that and trying to put it into keymap didn't work:

<end>XBMC.PlayMedia($INFO[ListItem.Trailer],1,noresume)</end>

is there somewhere in one of the include files that the above code could be put, and called with a button command or something? I manage, but am no expert when figuring out the deep inner workings of XBMC

Ok, I tried sending the key sequence I,{up},{Enter} from EventGhost to XBMC, no luck doing it even that sloppy way....

Still hoping there is some solution to this....

You can achieve this by mapping a button to YouTrailer script, e.g.:

Code:

<hash>RunScript(special://home/scripts/YouTrailer/default.py,1)</hash>

I'm using V.0.6 which works perfectly fine for me. The bonus is you will usually also have trailer streamed even if you don't have any associated trailer to that movie in your db (which plays obviously first if there is any)
