I would like to try this script on my XBMC running ShowMix. I use the linux version.
ATM the the Apple Movie Trailer Lite doesn't work that well for me, and would like to use a video (in 720p or 1080p) of some red curtains that "opens up". Like in a cinema.
Does someone know anything about a video like that?

Soder, check out youtube. I'm pretty sure I saw a red curtain video on there.

Also, it would be great if the scripts could first play like 3 random clips from a folder, and then play a special clip just before the movie starts.

esc esc to end the slide show. as far as skipping trailers, I dont think thats possible. You have to sit through crappy previews in the theater. If your worried about lame previews, download a bunch that you DO like and put them in a folder.

as for the red curtain, you will have to make that on your own.

I was able to skip previews by hitting the Skip key on my harmony remote...believe it's the XBMC command Skip Next.

Is this so we can use it from a shortcut remote button?
While Ive been ripping these clips and testing them out I noticed something thats kind of annoying. When the previews start, it keeps stopping to buffer. Could you set it so that it picks the random trailers and starts to buffer them in the background while the ads and stuff are playing? Also like someone previously mentioned, get rid of the dialogue that comes up that says what the script is doing/about to do.
I added in the clip package 2 .blend files. You can edit these files using blender to make a fox style animation and a touchstone picture animation.
I use the fox one before my movie starts, and the touchstone one after the movie ends. I have also corrected the flickering on the fox animation that a lot of people were having. Hope these make a nice addition to your home theaters!
