HD-Trailers.Net Downloader - New Version

Version 1.7

Someone noticed yesterday that one of the trailers caused HD-Trailers.Net Downloader to hang. I tracked down the up and posted an update.

If you are using anthing before 1.7 you should probably update to version 1.7.

Take Care

somehow updating to v1.7 and updating the app launcher has disrupted the cool runnings of these apps for me. now the downloader starts but is not able to download anything, so it starts goes through few file logs etc then finishes without downloading. If i downgrade to the click one app i.e v1.4 that still works .
So I am going back to v 1.4 + applauncher ( again previous version ) as that is still working .I am not sure as to why is this update not working for me ?

Ive tried installing this several times and several versions and have never managed to get it to run on windows 7. It installs but when i launch it all i get is a quick flash of a dos window and then its gone.

danz0l its usually the config, you are doing something wrong in the config, just try and change only the bare minimum and that should work.. saying that I am having issues myself LOL

I haven't tried 1.7 yet, but I will give it a go and make sure appLauncher still plays nice with it. If not, I will update it accordingly, but it sounds like a config problem as was previously stated. I won't be able to test this until later tonight when I get home from work.

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with version 1.7. Yesterday, Google disabled script access to their "I feel lucky" feature. "I Feel Lucky" is used by HD-Trailers.Net Downloader to locate the correct movie on IMDB. THis usually produced better results than the search function on IMDB or just a straight Google search.

I have a new approach but won't be able to implement until late tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No need to be sorry , this ain't your fault. at least its good to know that its not me thats just playing silly bugger and messing with things that I shouldn't mess with .
Thanks for your (forthcoming & ongoing ) support .

Great work! Thank you!

Just posted an update that deals with the fact that Google disable script access to its "I Feel Lucky" search.

THis is a new release that uses Bing to locate the IMDB listing for a movie instead of the "I Feel Lucky" feature on Google.

It seems to work well but you never know with this type of change. On the plus side, Bing did locate the correct IMDB listing for the Square Grouper trailer. Google couldn't do it.

Take Care

just tried 1.8 and it appears to be broken.

Immediately after installing 1.8, the infamous disappearing screen occurred due to my config file settings being overwritten again during installation. This is probably due to "g:\trailers" being set as the download location (which of course does not exist on my pc). I see a backup of the old config file was created though.

After fixing the config file, I then got a list of errors for every trailer and nothing downloaded.
No Download URL's found. Skipping...
Title not a trailer. Skipping...

Turns out, it was the feed listed in the config causing this problem.
it was listed as:
<add key="FeedAddress" value="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/Feed-For-Trailer-Freaks" />
instead of:
<add key="FeedAddress" value="http://www.hd-trailers.net/blog/feed/" />
