Trailer support other than IMDB #49

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Would be fantastic to have trailers other than those from IMDB being 
supported. I could see AMT, but of course any other trailer site would be 
great. Youtube could also be an option, but I dont have a preference.

Would be great if there could be an option to have the trailers as a link 
and even better to actually have EMM download them.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Yes, still need to look into AMT to see what I can pull from it.

Hey Jason,
This would be a really awesome and unique feature. 
All of us(outside US) are suffering from this. 

I also have doubts, that the apple site can be scraped, but theoretically AMT 
can
download trailers somehow(I didn't try it yet, though)

themoviedb also have trailers linked to youtube(seems lower quality though)

I am not sure how difficult it is as I have no clue about coding. Have seen 
this 
app, which basically doing what I would love EMM to do as well. See below

Just checked out the "Get Trailers". This might not be bad, but identifies 
rather 
weak and also figured out how limited AMT actually is. Maybe, Nadas' comment to 
use 
moviedb could be a great one as Youtube has a lot more trailer and also youtube 
should have some HD stuff, isnt it? Also, might be a lot easier to scrape?! 
Download 
would be hugely prefered compared to link if somehow possible.

would defaianlty like to see trailer support in EMM. no other media manager is 
able
to scrap Trailers and this personally would be my main feature request. Thanks

I would really like to see trailer support too.

An option to get HD trailers, if available, would be nice too :)

Would support to download YouTube trailers (based on link supplied by TMDB) be
satisfactory? Or is downloading not necessary and just put the link in the nfo?

For me downloading is what would be best... having the movie-trailer.mov in each
movie folder is the perfect solution. And obviously higher definition the 
better.

Agree with bobcfc. Downloading would be very much prefered over a link. 
Thanks!!!

I think that even though I would prefer to download apple trailers from a pure 
end
user standpoint I can see the problems from a developer perspective. The only 
way to
go is an on screen scrape and to do titel searches. There are some other 
plugins for
other software such as the python plugin for XBMC or an plugin for a software 
called
Movie jukebox http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/issues/detail?id=171 and I 
think
that would handle some of the movies. But then apple has some custom pages for
certain movies that doesn't follow their usual form and perhaps those will be 
hard to
scrape.

Other than that perhaps if someone start to do some work with Yahoo pipes and we
could use that to output something that would be easy for EMM to digest, like 
an RSS
feed. Then the input could be Apple trailers or YouTube or whatever.

Other than that perhaps another way would be for people to export trailer 
matching
data. Like a xml list file where I've manually entered a trailer URL and then 
EMM
would emit a file where the URL would be tied to an IMDB id or something that 
other
users could import.

A final straw would be to get someone that already does all the heavy lifting 
like
Dave's trailer page to generate a RSS with proper info for EMM to scrape.

Found this plugin http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=29287#29287 for a
program called xLobby. If I managed to make sense of the descriptions it uses 
some
sort of ITunes backend xml to find the links to all trailers. I'll see if I 
have time
to check out the source later but thought I would post it if someone else wants 
to
join in.

In reply to Jonas above: from a user perspective, download would be far 
prefered 
compared to links. Thetvdb has quite a lot of trailer links with most of them 
refering to youtube. While youtube is not always the best in terms of quality, 
there 
a LOT of trailers on it particularly also for old movies.

Unfortunately, I am not a developer at all and cannot help myself. Below link 
refers 
to an opensource software to basically grab and download movies from youtube 
and 
other sites. Not sure what it would take and how actually opensource licensing 
works, but an integration of this functionality would be fantastic!!!

I have already coded the downloading from youtube in a separate test app. ;) It 
will
be in the next release after the feature freeze.

I will help this project so I create a class to find movie trailers. At the 
moment it`s supporting 5 differents 
trailer sites : Apple Movie Trailers,Imdb.com, MattTrailers, Kino.de & 
AZMovies. 

This finder class is integreated in the next Ember Media Manager Version, after 
the Version freeze.

I attach a little demo application to test it a little bit ( please fill in all 
fields at the programm).

P.S. Contact me if you found bugs.

This sounds great. Just tried to test, but so far no success. When I open the 
file, 
only one third of the screen actually shows up? I cannot really enter any 
information. Is this application built for x86 platform. EMM works perfect for 
me.

mafis90 supplied me with his source code and I modified it to work with EMM, so 
the
core is done now. Tomorrow, I'll work on the integration/GUI aspects of it... 
this
will be in next release. Unfortunately, due to some issues with some of the 
code for
some of the trailer sites I had to remove a couple from mafis90's original 
code. The
supported site list is now:

IMDB
MattTrailer
AZMovies
YouTube (via TMDB)

Initial support is in SVN. It's only available via the movie editor at this 
point
until more testing can be done to make sure everything is in order. I'll 
probably get
it integrated into the updaters tonight or tomorrow.

If anyone builds from SVN and can try it out, it would be helpful to get some 
feedback.

Hi Jason, finally got a build built from SVN! :) and have been testing this out 
for
you. Basic operation is very good. any trailer d/l from Matts trailers do not 
seem to
d/l but all others work really well.

Also how are you going to prioritse when doing a full auto scrap on which 
trailer to d/l?

Original comment by bob...@googlemail.com on 19 Jun 2009 at 9:52

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Thanks... still some tweaking to do, but it's getting there.

The priority will be in the order that they are listed in settings (for the 
moment...
I may make it to be able to rearrange the order, but it's so much easier to 
have it
fixed. lol)... so youtube, matttrailer, azmovies, then local imdb.

Added support for AllTrailers.net... it seems most of the other trailer sites 
are
either dead, broken, or just steal videos from somewhere else. lol

Original comment by jason.schnitzler on 20 Jun 2009 at 4:06

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Ok, done for next release.... needs lots of testing, so if anyone could give it 
a try
and provide feedback, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I mark it verified for now.

If you have further bugs and requests concerning trailer scraper, please open
new/separate tickets for them.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH JASON! This is awesome!
