I haven't read all the way through this topic so I might be a bit off topic - but ANY possible way to select/view/play trailers in XBMC from a selection of (new) trailers would be fantastic.
The WAF (or FAF) would soar through the stratosphere if they could easily & quickly select trailers for new movies, and watch instantly. My thought was to somehow have XBMC scrape for the cover art, plot etc so the experience would mirror selecting a movie. Seems like there would have to be a "flag" where you set the content so XBMC didn't drop the new trailers into the Movies section of the Library - but I'm sure there are other ways to skin the cat (pun intended).
As I noted in another post - who do I have to buy the poke and beer for?
My (perl) script downloads the trailer, builds and NFO and downloads the thumb. What I need help in is the plugin part that goes from those three items to a plugin view. They can be sorted by the release date of the film (newest first) because that data is there.
