Not to hijack the CE thread again, but I figured it was worth replying to these here. Please try to post CV stuff in the CV thread. I watch that one regularly.

It's coming, in a pretty big way. We're working on a new version now that will make some major improvements to trailers. We'll be adding the ability to download trailers from several sources in the highest available quality to the %CVROOT%\Trailers directory in the background, or during a content update. That will mostly be useful for folks with slower connections. With that, we'll also add the ability to drop trailers in that directory (named correctly with <movie_name>_trailer.ext) and have them automatically scraped in to the
CinemaVision database, which eliminates the need for NFO files. That should be easier on all of you guys.

There's a launch app that puts it in the right-context menu as well. The only bad things are many preview trailers have "YouTube" links at the end (makes you realize you're not in a real theater) and the KODI "Working" notification in the bottom corner that also reminds you you're not in a theater between trailers, etc. It'd be nice if those could be turned off for "Theater Mode."
Hey hey! I wanted to clear a few things up.
We do require folks to register on the site, but that's to protect us from bot attacks. You don't have to pay for an account, which gets you access to all of our content in specific qualities, and all of our forums and guides for free. I'd suggest creating an account just for the guides. There's a ton that
CinemaVision can do, and I didn't want to gum up the Kodi forums with endless guides, so we created a guide section on the site.
CinemaVision runs in Demo Mode by default, which shows a little bit of what it can do without the user needing to set anything up at all. It's expected that users want to run
CinemaVision with custom content which just needs to be dropped in the appropriate folder in the
CinemaVision content directory that they select. The folders that
CinemaVision creates aren't locked in any way. The preview trailers that come from YouTube are actually the default trailers that are scraped into your Kodi library by default. All
CinemaVision does is play them, really. We don't have control over what the trailers on YouTube put at the end of their video at all, so I'd suggest using iTunes for your trailer modules instead of the KodiDB scraper. Trailers from iTunes make for a pretty flawless
experience. To change that, just disable the other scrapers in your Trailers Module. We have to rely on skins to suppress the busy notifications and popups, sadly. I will tell you, if your skin doesn't support it, we have a guide that outlines exactly how to do it on the
CinemaVision website. You can also have your skinner reach out to us, or let us know who it is and we'll try to engage them. I've heard of a few skinners who have added options in the skin settings just for
CinemaVision.
