Looks great!

This is obviously not exactly what you were going for, but would it be possible to use this screensaver while music is playing? I'm thinking instead of playing trailers, to have it play other video files (Fireplaces, Aquariums, etc) while listening to music. (Disable visualizations in XBMC, and use the screensaver while playing music instead). I imagine XBMC does not support playing music and video at the same time.

Anyway just a thought!

Is there a way to point this to a specified folder where I have my trailers saved for use with Cinema Experience?

Not currently, I am thinking about creating an option where the user could select a folder containing trailers and then play them randomly.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this... I recently installed this screen saver it works fine but tried disabling it and it wouldn't stop. I went as far as uninstalling it and it's still playing trailers. How do I get it to stop?

I have never seen this happen, the only way it should start playing trailers is if you have it set as a screen saver. Try changing to another screeen saver. Also make sure you uninstall from services, programs and screensavers. Uninstalling any one should remove the others but obviously something is not quite rite.

If all else fails to to your userdata/addons folder and delete the random.trailers folder.

I tried another screen saver and it would do play the other for a few seconds then random trailers again. I think i got it to stop by deleting the screensavers.radomtraiers folder. Wow, spoke too soon it's still starting up.

This is amazing, thank you! I've been waiting years for something just like this. Is there any way to disable the movie title up in the top left corner?

In case your interested, I added a feature that when the movie title is hidden, you can now press m and it will display the title for 2 seconds. It helps me when I cannot remember the name of the movie for the trailer I am watching. Lets me do a quick check without interrupting the trailer like pressing I for info does.

You will need to download and install from my GIT repository here

Just added a feature to play trailers from a specified folder rather than library. Also fixed some issues with gotham, and trailers will now not repeat until all are played.

Download from GIT for now.
