Would be really great with the ability to watch trailers.
Local or/and streamed from (apple.com/youtube)

Couldnt you just do a button for when it's a trailer.avi in the sam directory.
You'll still have to download the trailer manually but there's tools for that
saw something in the forums of myTV

this would be great. i think it should be something sven already mentioned, an 
extra 
button in 'trailer' which identifies the trailer (the *.mov file in the folder 
or 
even better the file in the trailer folder you have to put in the movie 
folder). now 
i'm using this app (http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/apple-trailers-
downloader-v0-065-bugfix-release-43453/) to download trailers. the problem is 
that i 
can't put them in the movie folder because it's working as a playlist then. 
therefore my vote goes for a 'trailer' button. this would be ther perfect 
solution 
of a media browser! thanks in advance.........oh yeah......love the app very 
much 
btw!

I'm doing same comment. I Love this app !
And a Trailer button would be really nice.

So my vote goes to this feature, and a delete button too.

Oh yes, it would be realy great to have a button trailer which would start the 
video
files located in a Trailer sub folder.

Would be nice if we have something that stream direct from apple.com with a 
special 
interface that is not necessary linked with your actual movie library - lots of 
trailers available today are movies that nobody have it. I don't see any 
benefit in 
linking local files only. Must be streaming (or something like an offline 
download 
with automatic metadata prefetch) 

Right now I am using Boxee integrated with my VMC only for use their Trailers 
page.

the local trailers is useful for deciding on wich movie to watch.

Personally i think the trailers option is a great idea. I would implement the 
following ideas:

- ability to browse trailers stored on local (or unc share) computer.
- trailers could be moviename-trailer.mov (batman-trailer.mov) such that any 
files 
with trailer in the file name would not be added to playlist, but instead be 
watchable by a button next to play button when viewing movie info.
- option in settings to play x number of trailers randomly from your library 
before 
a movie starts (for a real at home theater experiance). this allows you to 
remember 
old movies you may have forggoten about or to introduce friends and family to 
the 
other movies in your library. Don't forget that while watching trailer, have a 
hot 
key on remote ability to play that movie instead of currently selected movie. 
How 
many times have you seena  trailer to say .. gee maybe i should watch that 
movie 
instead.
- have the option to search for online trailers and play them
- have the options to automatically search for, list and choose trailers based 
on 
library of movies to download the trailers to your local computer so you don't 
have 
to stream them everytime
- perhaps have a seperate trailers folder instead of putting the trailers in 
the 
individual folder for each movie .. keep them in a seperate location to better 
manage them. this offer the ability to have trailers for movies you don't have 
in 
yoru library alreayd (new releases for eg)
- and abiltiy to do teh same transcoding of trailer to xbox360 etc.

I totally agree J.Cronk. I currently keep my trailers in a seperate folder for 
easy 
managing as you've mentioned. This allows me to have trailers for movies i do 
not 
have yet. This way, for naming I don't need to add '-trailer' to the name. I 
can name 
the trailer just as the actual movie title.

I think this is a great idea. I would love the ability to watch a trailer from
apple/youtube/imdb/etc. Or optionally, it would be nice not to have to update 
the XML
file to find a trailer in the same directory. If "trailer.*" (mov/avi/mp4) 
existed in
the movie/tv shows directory, Media Browser would automatically add an icon to 
play
trailer. GREAT WORK!!
