We have been informed about a new trailer script for XboxMediaCenter(info):

Quote

AppleMovieTrailers (AMT) v0.9 - new trailer script for XBMC.
This is a new trailer script, created by Killarny, Nuka1195 & Pike.
It still hasn't reached final 1.0, but it's quite useable now.

Features:
* Poster graphics for each trailer and description
* Genre mode with 20 trailers per genre (12 genres)
* Newest trailers and Exclusive trailers categories
* Settings system to set for example default trailersize & save-location
* Stream/Download/Download & Save transfer modes, if you play a trailer that was previously saved, it uses the local copy instead of redownloading
* A trick invented by Pike to get smoother playback of saved trailers (nocache mode)
* A skinning system (see note below: FOR SKINNERS)

Does not feature:
* A quick way to update trailers. You must redo the 'Update All' procedure for now if you want new content.

IMPORTANT: Depending on your connection, first time you run script or any time you select 'Update All' it will take 10-20 minutes until you are returned to script. Please be patient. If you abort update, you may lose all data and will have to redo it anyways. If you have any issues, remove the /data folder in AMT's folder.

FOR SKINNERS: We would be exstatic if you would create a skin for AMT that matches YOUR skin.
Skinning this script is fairly simple.
There are two required xml files: skin.xml and settings.xml.
There are two optional xml files: skin_16x9.xml and settings_16x9.xml
You may create a screenshot (sized 128x72 for 16x9) name it thumbnail.tbn for the skin selection menu and place it in your skin folder.
There is a gfx folder for additional images including the below.
Two optional images generic-thumbnail.tbn and genre-thumbnail.tbn may be used for the trailer and genre lists.
The genre list supports (not working yet) genrename.tbn files, so you may have different thumbs for each genre.
Please read the top of each xml file for instructions.

why did the old one stopped working?

spiff · « **Reply #3 on:** September 28, 2006, 03:39:00 PM »

it has a time limit.

the author decided that, nah, in sept 2006 i want it to stop working.

or wait,

it might have been the apple pages changing.

hmm.. can't recall. it was definitely one of those two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

hey I like it, works great, and I like how they have the custom setting on it, and the posters are cool. But the light gray background does not show up on it.

maybe your screen is very dark, it's just meant to be a vague decoration

Is this the same version that was included in the lates t XBMC release or have they updated it already?

pike · « **Reply #9 on:** September 28, 2006, 04:32:00 PM »

well if you compare screenshots, I'd say they certainly looks a bit different, so short answer:

yes, different

Yay!

This looks so much nicer than the old one, too.

The default skin is heavily reliant on references.xml, so if you're running this in mc360, then sizes and positions will be off, also graphics will be missing.

Other skins are being made, your welcome to skin it, it's quite easy, just read the top of the xml files.

It was designed for PMIII.

I hope he doesn't mind.
