trailers

What should I use for trailers with the latest xlobby2.exe ?

premoviemanager
or
does the trailer event work?

I tried the trailer event like it said in the help...like this, but nothing happens at all. I'm using zoomplayer

Now the start event is what we are interested in, this is where we will setup the playlist BEFORE the program is launched. So now we goto the event manager and create a new event, to start off we will make it very simple by adding 3 commands.

video playlist->new playlist
video playlist->play trailer, "c:\trailers\demo\dd_aurora.vob"
video playlist->play video

This event will now create a new playlist to play specific trailer and then the play video. I said it was simple. Ok now something a little more complex, what if we wanted a specific trailer followed by a demo, followed by a theatrical trailer.

I've created my own [trailer] [/trailer] tag (which is stores the path+filena me of the trailer) in the movie XML file (database) for each and every movie I have. I then create a playlist just like you described but pass the trailer tag as a parameter (%movies>trailer%)

Code: Select all: video playlist->new playlist video playlist->play trailer, "%movies>trailer%" video playlist->play random demo from db video playlist->play video

just when u answered I figured out that zoomplayer supports trailers. So I'm using that. Thanks anyway?

Still the documentation needs updating unless I'm doing something wrong.
