- Make sure System -> Skin -> General -> Play trailers in fullscreen is not enabled.
- When the trailer (or movie) starts, press Tab.

Ah thanks for the help! Tab was the magic button. Is there a way to make that the default behavior? so pressing it is not needed?

That's a bit more difficult, and it would require code tweaking. I see if I can do anything, tomorrow.

OK, this has been giving me a bit of trouble... Sorry, but I'm an amateur myself. Anyway, a quick solution that does not require any coding is to enable the option System -> Skin -> General -> Move trailer button to context menu. This way, by pressing "C" you'll find the trailer option on the context menu. If you select it, the trailer will open in the small window, as it should.
P.S. @phil65: Could you shed some light on this, it just looks bizarre. PlayMedia($ESCINFO[ListItem.Trailer],1) is already set for non-fullscreen trailers, I don't know why it doesn't work everywhere. Changing $ESCINFO to $INFO fixes the problem for starting the trailer from the Media Menu, but not for when it's started from within the movie info window.

I installed today's nightly and indeed now it does work if the trailer is called from the Media Menu or the Context Menu, but not if it's called from the Movie Information window (DialogVideoInfo). Not a big issue, obviously, I only asked because it seemed curious to me. Thanks.

So is the problem that I am using an out of date version? I thought using the (GIT) version kept it up to date but maybe I dont understand that quite right. If I go to skins mine says 3.6.0.1345679888(GIT)
Appears it works if I use Frodo/nox 4.0 guess I might just need to wait until I upgrade.
