No actually. I maybe could try to add a ListItem.Trailer support into Advanced Launcher (just another tag to add). But actually I'm not sure that ListItem.Trailer is active into the programs section.

Also the display of the linked videos will not be managed by Advanced Launcher but by XMBC and the skins used. So if the skins do not have any video display support into for programs views you will not be able to see them.

Finally I will not add a video gameplay scraper. If you want a rom manager that support video gameplay display use Rom Collection Browser.

Thanks KiSUAN and Robert de Clair. Your respective translations will be added into the next version.

Sorry, I should refrain from asking you that, it was far from being indispensable, and then you almost do it on purpose to throw 2 times the same application.

Actually I do not see any solution. But if I found one, I will try to add it into Advanced Launcher.

Okay. Already using the best (Advanced Launcher) can`t go down hill you know! hehe

Oupsss... I have forgotten that the Listitem.Trailer value is already attributed to extrafanartpath tag under Advanced launcher...

Besides as you said if the skin doesn't support it there's no point, more if you don't add the option to scrape and last, there's already 2 skins that support trailers Cirrus Extended 1.0 & Night.Purity, and it's pretty simple to implement.

Don't now exactly how CE manage the trailers but for my mod the path for the trailers is the same as for the extrafanrt, the files only has to be named as Launcher name and the format is flv as is the most common to download from youtube. Currently only available in Arcade views and autoplay.

Yes, I think it will be possible to create a kind of youtube video scraper that will download a video on youtube and save it into flv of mp4 format into the extrafanart folder with the right name. Maybe it will be necessary to add a special tag for the trailer video file path. Which video formats could be displayed into XBMC skins? FLV? MP4? AVI?

I'm not asking for the option, for me with the ones available is more than enough as I can do whatever I want for now.

Anyway, the code I use is this:

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

So ListItem.Trailer gives me the path, ListItem.Label the name and .flv the type of file, XBMC can play anything that you download from youtube, but the thing is that if I don't estipulate the type of file it never starts, maybe I can look more into it, make more buttons with mp4 and avi and set a condition if I can fetch it of course.

I don't know if I could just fetch the path and name of the file from the addon, maybe I don't need to specify the type of media.

I would like to run Opera 11 Linux under full screen mode

Maybe could be easier to let choose the path or location for downloaded trailer, so you could edit the filename and extension, as the most video types are compatible, you just have to change extension, from flv to mp4 for example ...
just an idea ...

Under linux the right argument to activate the kiosk mode for opera is -kioskmode. So if you use Opera as stand alone launcher the launcher arguments will be : . If you use Opera as file launcher the launcher arguments will be : Just created WIKI page : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Opera#Linux

Ok, so I think the more simple will be to to add another tag for the trailers. Because the actual LitsItem.Trailer vallue is assigned to the extrafanartpath, I will have to make some modifications.

• add a <trailer></trailer> tag for launcher and roms.
  
• assign this tag to the LitsItem.Trailer value.
  
• assign the <extrafanartpath> tag to another LitsItem.Trailer value (need to found which one).
  
• add option to locally select the video file to store into <trailer> tag.
  

I will try to work on this for the next days.

The first is the right command line argument for opera under linux to start it into kioskmode. The second is an argument that is not recognized, supported or implemented into Opera and that's why it is not working. http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/
