Hi,

i have scraped my hole library with emm-revisited and the most of them have a trailer url (youtube) in their nfo but if i try to play them nothing happens except the popup messages that says working... for a moment then it disappears.

Can someone help me, do i need an extra plugin for Trailers over url?

XBMC won't play those pure youtube URL's, it is not supported (that way).

the intention was to get help get working youtube trailers from url's in nfo's not showing all the illegal stuff in my library Wink

That means the only way is to have trailers locally stored? (Will waste many storage...)
Is it maybe possible to playback the trailer from url with the YouTube plugin?

Any way to pass the youtube trailer url from nfo to youtube plugin with the trailer button in movie info and trigger it (wrapper)?

Yes, there is a way. The in-built tmdb scraper is doing that Wink, but you decided to use an external tool...
