I am using MIP to sort all my media and I am having problems getting trailers working.
If I add a movie without using MIP to scrape it ( so basically allow xbmc do it ) then it seems to work and uses a url trailer.
If I add a url trailer in MIP then it does not work or even if I add a *name*-trailer.mov to the film directory it does not work.
I have 2597 unique movies in my library right now. I used EMM to find and download trailers for my collection. It took maybe an hour+ and I now have over 2000 trailers for my collection all in the proper corresponding folder, named correctly. (Also I didn't do any work but click a few buttons in EMM) They are all in FLV format and not that big. The 2000+ trailers only equal to be about 14GB. Moral of the story? Use Ember Media Manager.
Also after you edit/add a trailer are you re-scanning the movie to the library?
