i really really really dont see the need for them. plus it would require redoing some of the db code.
trailer, you already have the movie. who cares about box office statistics, we're not sheep are we? and budget. pfft, slap your penis on the table if you really want to compare sizes

because you are looking for a movie to watch. BEFORE you obtain it.
anyways, others are free to implement it

here´s another supporter of the trailer feature...I think it would be great, something I´ve hoped would be added for some time.

I for one would still like to be able watch the trailer even if I have already seen the movie myself.
Having that option from the 'info' view would make that very convenient.

right...and like others have pointed out in other threads, the usefullness really isn´t to be able to watch trailers for your own movies you´ve seen a billion times. Many people have "friends" who come over to watch movies, which in many peoples´cases, tend to reside on the xbox (the movies, not the friends). These friends don´t necessarily know your movies like you do, and having the option for them to scan through and view the trailers before picking a movie I believe would be a very worthwhile feature indeed.

Another vote for the trailers from me. I've wanted this feature for a while now. The 2 other HTPC frontends I've used have it and I used it all the time.

Not to sound negative but this trailers addition has been tossed around for a few years now and just wont go anywhere. Im certain anyone with enough background would have done it by now but aside of that there is Spiff... I understand his view but I doubt we could force the guy without the use of small explosives and pliers.

Heh guys, I run the movie-xml site. Can I make sure your using the getmovie.php interface? It seems one plugin was using the old interfaces which is generating lots of 440 missing errors in my webserver logs.
Lots of long Overview entries have been added recently so hopefully that solves the problem takled about above. Remember the database is open to anyone who wants to add data.
Last thing is trailers, I am still trying to find a good way of storing them, currently its just a youtube link so you would need a youtube plugin like meedios has. I'm open to a better way to impliment this though.
if you want to make yourself useful to both teamxbmc and the guys at movie-xml why not use some spare time to help the guys with there info, after all we started using there site at a VERY early stage.
