I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or my settings off but I know I have the content folder scraper and iTunes scraper in my settings. I don't want trailers from movies in my library to play, only upcoming movies like in the cinema. StereoscopyNews.com never works at all. Most, if not all my trailers are in the content folder because I download them from movie-list.com in lossless quality. I put my 3d trailers in the content folder but when I run the sequence, they are never recognized even with the appropriate tags(.3D., SBS, TAB) . Now 2D trailers do work just fine. Is it possible to add in a future update a separate folder for 3D trailers? Also will cinema vision ever be able to read nfo data info we add to trailers like Cinema Experience did? It allowed us to put our own info like genre, plot, etc so the right trailers would play before the movie based on genre if we downloaded our own into the folder. Right now it is just random ones playing from the folder. Once again, thanks Scott! love the addon and looking forward to future updates and helping improve the experience.
Of course! If you don't want trailers for movies in your library, you're doing it right. That comes from enabling the Kodi DB scraper. StereoscopyNews.com isn't terribly reliable, unfortunately. The framework is in place to add a ton of scrapers in future releases, we just have to code them.
Thankfully, Movie-List.com is one of the scrapers high on the list to add. We'll also be adding a feature that will allow you to download those trailers locally to your %CVROOT%\Trailers directory when you update content. That could potentially become a problem, because not everyone has the storage for that. We're trying to figure out how to better manage that.We likely wont add another folder for 3D trailers, but we will find a way to get it working and get 3D to coexist with 2D trailers in the same directory. Adding recursive searches may make the content update drag on, which we want to avoid. You can't enjoy your content if it's constantly updating, after all. We'll see what works best when we're developing the feature and go with that. As far as NFO files, sort of? We won't be using NFO files, but we will be using XML files. We use XML as our standard for trivia slides and ratings systems, so it makes sense to stick with that. We have plans for a huge system that will even allow you to tag your trivia slides and play specific stuff using those tags during your sequence. I don't see why we wouldn't allow that for local trailers in the %CVROOT%\Trailers directory. When we built this thing, I honestly didn't know CE could do that or it would've been in our requirements document. There are probably a few features like that I'm just not aware of.
I'm not sure if the tagging feature will be something that you can do inside of Kodi, or if it's something that will have to be done externally and read in. We'll know more when we start to flesh out that feature.

Second, we've never had a request for a pop-up style trivia over the credits. I'm not sure if that's possible in Kodi, but I can add the idea to our list and we can explore it when we start our next round of development. The one thing I immediately see when building the idea out is that we won't be able to tell if there are stingers in the credits and stop the pop-ups. We have plans to try to integrate a stinger warning system, so we might be able to play off of that.
