720p and up are basically unwatchable for me now...but used to be just fine until a week or 2 ago. Speedtest still shows my connection as plenty fast enough to handle it (>1.5mbps)
If it's not just me i'm really curious to know what the planned implementation of the "download trailers" option will be for the HTE script. If it were possible for one trailer to DL while the previous one is playing that would be amazing for example...
Thanks for all the hard work!
I posted a solution for this a few posts before yours. My Apple Trailer Downloader script can be set to run as a scheduled task in windows or a cron job in Linux.
It will download trailers at whatever resolution you desire, only download new trailers, only download trailers since a certain date, all sorts of stuff like that.
Then you just set HTE to use the local scraper instead of the Apple scraper.
