Hi, I was wondering how Aeon handles trailers (i.e. is it easy to view a trailer from the movie library). I'm planning on downloading all the trailers for my movies off youtube, but before hand I just want to make sure that this is supported in Aeon.
thanks alot

My 2 cents from a quality perspective
before downloading from youtube I used these 2 sites to download my trailers from:
http://www.hd-trailers.net/
http://www.movie-list.com/
If I couldn't find them there then I used youtube.

ok but the real question is not answered yet
does aeon support these trailers
i must say i cannot answer it myself
but i assume it can, since the movie info panel shows a "view trailer' button
though i have no idea how you would have to add or name these trailer files to the library though.

I'm sure Aeon will support it as seen from the screens.
here's how:
"Just add the file to the directory where the movie is and add -trailer before the extension. Like so...
Die Hard.avi
Die Hard-trailer.flv
Piece of cake. You may have to rescan the movie so it finds the trailer though.

they should be picked up while scanning with the following name pattern (i read it in another threat).
movie-trailer.avi/mov/whatever
and i am aware of the right-click-save-as .. but i thought of sites which are streaming the content trough a flashplayer like youtube or something else ...
ps: sorry for the double post .. i forget to click the submit button and fanaticffwd answered in the meantime ..

Wow, thanks alot for the links, and for all the help. I have a fairly vast movie collection, so downloading all these trailers will take time, but it will make my media center more complete.
Plus it's something to show off if I ever have guests haha
Thanks again.

Why wouldn't you just wait a few seconds and let it stream one off of the net? Is it the quality issue or the speed issue?

well, it's a little of both, and some places I take this may not have online access. I plan on making a little HTPC, and if I take it to somewhere with limited net access (some of my friends college dorms have absolutely horrible bandwith limits (like 1.5 gb a month), I'd rather just have it stored locally.

just 1 more question about naming / scraping trailers
is it
movie-trailer.avi... (eg. movie-trailer.avi)
or
moviename-trailer.avi... (eg. sin city-trailer.avi)

"movie-trailer.avi"
filename-trailer.avi isn't picked up ... just tried it myself. and be sure to remove the trailer link from the nfo if you allready scraped them with mip or something else.
