Hi, I have searched fruitlessly in the forums for a solution, but cannot find anything that seems to do just what I need.
I've been looking for a way to use the regular xbmc/aeon interface for browsing and playing movies, but for a few random trailers to play before the movie starts.
I've taken a look at a few available plugins/scripts but it isn't clear if they can actually do this.
I don't really care for a browsing interface or for a means to download the trailers or any GUI elements at all - if I choose to play a movie from one of the standard Aeon movie views then I just want a configurable amount of trailers to play and then the main feature right after.
From a development perspective (I have never developed for xbmc in any way) is it possible to play local video files before the main feature starts? If so, and it's at least *possible* then I'll have a shot at it myself.
