Maybe it will be necessary to add a special tag for the trailer video file path. Which video formats could be displayed into XBMC skins? FLV? MP4? AVI?
Don't now exactly how CE manage the trailers but for my mod the path for the trailers is the same as for the extrafanrt, the files only has to be named as Launcher name and the format is flv as is the most common to download from youtube. Currently only available in Arcade views and autoplay.
