an movie trailer section!!!
- darkie - 2004-08-08
check the download section http://dwl.xboxmediacenter.de
btw guybrush, any progress on it yet?
- Guybrush - 2004-08-09
progress is going slowly but alright, due to work and hot days im not much behind my puter lately.
but ill whip up the patch in the next few days, maybe tomorrow night if time allows.
debug and testing is most likely done, fixed most bugs, i think its even bugfree now :d
it now even allows you to use the svq3 codec in quicktimeessentials.qtx, not that its very useful since mplayer has it natively but it was a feature i wanted working :lol:
also zlib support in mplayer.dll is a huge necessity, since alot of trailers have compressed headers.
i've compiled the latest mplayer (1.0pre5-3.2.3) as dll (with zlib ofcourse), but not sure if i got every xbmc specific changes, but it works, just not sure if i broke anything.
if anyone wants i can make a diff of the changes i did to the mplayer sources.
@darkie: i've been thinking about making a trailer browser feature too, but not as a python script but natively in xbmc (ala my trailers), maybe we can make one together
it would make a nice addition to xbmc i think.
@ezar2003: xbmc changes only.
- darkie - 2004-08-09
take your time for it, better bug free then working with sometimes a crash
Quote:also zlib support in mplayer.dll is a huge necessity, since alot of trailers have compressed headers.i agree on this one

as you probably already know you can upload this to http://www.xboxmediacenter.it/upload
we can then do some testing to see if it works ok, and i will check the source to see if all xbmc specific stuff is there

it would make a nice addition to xbmc i think.

while we are talking about my trailers keep in mind that we still have the offer from shoutcast to get access to the streamdatabase if we want and xad already did an online database for strm files (no content yet, but it will be public so anybody can add new streams).
so maybe we should think about doing something like my streams with and online browse for shoutcast/kml, strm and quicktime trailers (itunes either?).
- Guybrush - 2004-08-09
i think a shoutcast stream is not really the same as a quicktime trailer (you cant really stream a trailer unless you have a very good download speed)
and darkie, in your python script you are indeed parsing the website which could change over time, but take a look at:
http://www.apple.com/moviesxml/h/index.xml
or
http://www.apple.com/moviesxml/h/view1_all.xml
(set your user agent to "itunes/4.5")
sneaky eh?, xml is perfect for these kind of things
itunes uses these urls for trailers, so the format wont change or they will break their own application.

hehe :bowdown:
excellent, i have really missed this, curious how you did it, default win32 1.0pre5 doesnt support this audio either

i really should search better next time cause i couldn't find these xml files....anyway learned a bit more about python, so it was not useless :p
and since xml files are available i vote for creating my streams where you can select shoutcast streams, nullsoft streams, apple trailers and maybe more
