I downloaded XBMC today in a continuing effort to find a program that will play custom playlist movies with a graphical interface. So far, XBMC seems to be the best choice!
I have successfully created a playlist, and it works as expected.
I do not know where to go from here, as this what I want to accomplish:
Play custom intro to my theater
play dolby digital surround sound trailer
play movie trailer 1
play movie trailer 2
play instructional video on theater usage (turn off cell phone, etc)
play movie (for example, Salt)
So, I can get the playlist to do all of that perfectly; however, I do not know how to get the cover art for the movie Salt from my playlist.
I will have every single movie in my collection with this same setup (the trailers will vary, as will the custom intros). I do realize I will have to setup a playlist for everything, and I will do this.
But, I really, really want the graphical interface to have the ability to scan through the movies exactly like you can when you select movies on teh home page, but I want it to play my playlist I just created.
Now, I haven't really researched this much, so it may be obvious, but with this program being so powerful, i don't know where / how to search for it.
Any ideas?
