Apple Movie Trailer Database Import Utility

[Mjolnir]

uhm, if you've this kind of message, you've haven't provide a link on script command line...

If you run the script (without any options on its command line), you'll have this error message.

If you run the script (open a command line box : Windows Start Menu/Run, then "cmd.exe"), with an Apple Trailer link like :

Code: Select all

Apple_Trailer_DL.vbs  <http://~apple trailer link~>

this should work.

Let's try...
Go to script directory (if you're not in yet)

Code: Select all

cd "C:\Program Files\XlobbyFr\applications\Apple Movie Trailers\"

(change this directory according to yours)
Then run script with command line option like :
eg. :

Code: Select all

Apple_Trailer_DL.vbs  http://movies.apple.com/movies/mgm/wicker_park/wicker_park_480.mov

(put all on same line)

- A popup shoud raise for 10 sec max. and close : "D/L begins... wait..."
- After download, a sound message "telechargement termine" will shout ...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------8<--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please D/L this script version : Apple_Trailer_DL.vbs
Same script version, but English messages
Do not forget to change directories... (Mouse left button/Modify).

to execute the vbscript via xlobby

Create an event os/execute file:

- File:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\XlobbyFr\applications\Apple Movie Trailers\Apple_Trailer_DL.vbs

- Arguments:

Code: Select all

"%trailers>parameter%"

where trailers is the name of your category

and, especially, don't forget the

Code: Select all

"

if you don't put it , you will have this error message...

anyway, you can take a look on maTV skin, to see how are the events:

the skin:http://france.xlobby.com/forum/dgemily/Clones/maTV45.rar

look the event group:"apple movie trailers"

[QTips]

This plugin is awesome

I make a screen for it now but I cant' make a search for movietitle..only genre and actors.
Would it be possibel to get the importer to create a name field in the xml database for easier searching ?

[dgemily]

I did it also. and I can search on movietitles. you don't have to use filter to display by movietitles (the title are in "display") so you can use an event "set database" to display by movietitles, something like
category name :"filterdetails"
database name :"trailers".

bradsjm, any chance of modifying your application to also download each movie instead of just having a link to the online resource? It would be great if there was some download flag so that we could have a choice of downloading or referencing online urls.

I did see this post, but this vbs script requires to pass the name of the movie file. Instead of downloading just the movie that is going to be played I want to set it up so that all the movies found are downloaded at some set time. Then I want to setup zoomplayer so that it will play some random trailers.

I wanted the download ALL too and tried to open the source code to change so it sownload instead of writing to xlobbys DB. I wish I knew how to add the 3 files to a VB .NET solution and compile it but I fail. Maybe the authour of the plugin can tell me how?

I'm getting the following message and can't seem to figure it out.

Script c:\xlobby\applications\apple_trailer_dl.vbs
Line 134
Char 1
Error Path not found
Code 800A004C

As best I can figure this happens after the download and at the point my trailers.xml file should be being written to. Any advice?

[dgemily]

make sure that you have change all paths to your configuration in the vbs...
One thing is strange, because I edited the vbs and there is a blank line for the line 134....

Later,

[dgemily]

the tool seems to not working since a few days, maybe apple change the
structure of the web site.... for every movies we have an error :"unable to
process trailer: the remote server returned an error (4004) not found"

I sent a mail to bradsjm

So wait and see…
