Will submit to official XBMC Repo after some testing.
RE: Random Trailers Script v1.0.3 - Play random trailers from uses library - pettergulbra - 2013-06-06
Nice :-)
But it would have being nice if could play from YouTube f.ex. to.
Or else this looks really nice.
RE: Random Trailers Script v1.0.3 - Play random trailers from uses library - bnevets27 - 2013-06-10
Going to install it from the repo now. Do the trailers have to be on the local XBMC or any they being pulled from the net? If it only plays local trailers then I think it would be a lot nicer if it could pull the trailers from online. I think hiding watched movies from the results would be a great feature. And a date range would be great also, maybe defaulting to the current year or last 365 days.
Great add-on idea!
RE: Random Trailers Script v1.0.3 - Play random trailers from uses library - kzeleny - 2013-06-10
Thanks for the feedback!
It gets the trailer location from the library and plays it, doesn't matter if trailer is local or online.
I can pretty easily add an option to hide watched movies from the results, or hide movies watched in the last x number of days.
I think one option to hide movies watched in the last x number of days would be best, and set it to 0 for all.
RE: Random Trailers Script v1.0.5 - Play random trailers from uses library - kzeleny - 2013-06-13
New Version 1.0.5 allows you to exclude recently watched movies from trailers. Improved movie info screens and more.
See first post for details.
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - kzeleny - 2013-06-16
Merged into combination Screensaver / Script .
See first post for details.
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - bluenote - 2013-08-29
How do you set this up not to take over screensaver but only to run from programs addon?
thanks
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - kzeleny - 2013-08-29
You should just be able to select another screensaver under Appearance and it should only run as a program then.
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - prawnee - 2013-08-31
Great idea and script. Any idea if a similar screensaver addon could be made with new trailers from apple trailers, yahoo trailer etc?
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - bluenote - 2013-09-02
For some reason whenever this is enabled it takes over the screensaver function and executes even if I change the screen saver to something else. (actually, when installed it doesnt show as selected for screen saver and still executes when the screensaver exits). I love this addon but can't tolerate the screensaver function, do you have any suggestions?
thanks
EDIT: I solved my own problem. It seems like under programs two instances of the script show up - 1.0.9 and 1.0.5 . When I install 1.0.5 it seems to work as expected. (so far)
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - kzeleny - 2013-11-26
Added an option to Hide the title of the currently playing trailer. See first post for details to install.
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - kzeleny - 2013-11-26
Fixed issue where number of trailers was incorrect when hiding trailers from recently watched movies.
Updated in GIT
RE: Random Trailers Script / Screensaver - Play random trailers from uses library - ijourneaux - 2013-11-26
i was wondering if it might be possible to add an option to play trailers for upcoming movies that have been downloaded to a user specified folder

I just added a new version where you can select a folder to play trailers from. You can still select the number of trailers to play as well.
download it from my Git Repo here.
