AMC script creating invalid movie trailer link

[jp4500]

I noticed that Kodi (latest stable version) wasn't playing back trailers on my movies that were processed with the AMC script.

I was able to track it down the the <trailer> XML tag that AMC script creates.. Here's what's in the .nfo file::

<trailer>ABCDEFGHIJK</trailer>

I removed this file, refreshed movie info in Kodi and exported it back to a .nfo file. Here's the working version:

<trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=ABCDEFGHIJK</trailer>

Is this a problem with the AMC script? I don't know if other programs besides Kodi use this <trailer> field or not.. any way to fix this? Should I download the amc script and modify locally?

thanks for the help!

quick update.. here's additional info I found on the <trailer> syntax for Kodi:

Is there some sort of common ground for the <trailer> element that works for both Kodi and Plex? Otherwise I would be inclined to just not generate <trailer> elements at all.

Well the way i fixed it was to edit the htpc.groovy file

Code: Select all

			//i.trailers?.each{ t ->
			i.trailers.each{ t ->
				t.sources.each { s, v ->
				XBMC_Trailer = ("plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=")
					//trailer(type:t.type, name:t.name, size:s, v)
					trailer(XBMC_Trailer+v)
				}
			}

<trailer>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=ID_HERE</trailer>

i cant find any info on plex format... dont even think plex uses the trailer tag, so no effect to plex ?
but XBMC / Kodi only works if you change it like i did

very cool - thanks! I take it this is a local change, right? i tried once to use a local copy of the amc script but that failed due to missing dependencies and I never tried again. But, seems like it's worth another shot to get this to work.

(also, might good to update the official version as well if Plex doesn't even use this tag. I think that's more a question for @rednoah though)
