| | Posted: | | | | OK first of all, great product great site, and good job, it's been a long while since any official update, this is a pleasant surprise.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before I did do a search someone correct me if I've over looked this.
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE FEATURE!
There really needs to be a built in native link to a launch a local trailer. - it's an absolute no brainer for making your program the premier if it isn't already.
To support my claim consider the following;
# Storage space has increased profoundly as has bandwidth many of us download regular as well as HD trailers for movies we own or of coming attractions
# Doesn't it make sense to everyone else that it would be nice to have a link to launch a trailer that you have stored locally, your default media player could simply open and play it
# I've read that there are / were certain skins with the old version of DVDP that could play trailers, that constrains us to certain skins/layouts not good, and maybe too difficult for the average end user, native ability to directly launch a trailer would be the coolest feature this program could have in my honest humble opinion
I hope others will reply and encourage the developer(s) to include this feature or make a plug in available A.S.A.P.
My collections getting big, close to 1000, I'd hook a trailer up for every single one I could find too.
PS, again I'm looking for the ability to (either turn on or off depending on user preference) a "Play Trailer" button/link that you would could set up very simply by browsing to a common location with the trailer file ETA: C:\MyTrailers\Aliens_HD_Trailer.mov and the DVDP database would store the information, ETC. I'm sure everyone gets the idea, just being thorough.
My compliments again on an outstanding product! |

| | Posted: | | | | I posted this in the other topic before I knew you'd started this one: Quote:
As a suggestion, how about you enable html in the notes section, and simply add a hyperlink to a locally stored movie file? I'm assuming that's the sort of thing you're after and it wouldn't need any updates to the program.
I'm guessing something along the lines of:
<a href="file://C:\MyTrailers\Aliens_HD_Trailer.mov">Play Trailer</a>
should work...
as I said, should work...  |

| | Posted: | | | | Skins/Layouts like those of Roolku and Mithirandir support trailers since the beginning of mankind  If you don't wanna use another layout, Northbloke's suggestion should do the trick. | | | Greetz,

| | Posted: | | | | You could try this code: Quote:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
//-->
</SCRIPT>
// Play video in new window
function playVideo()
{
var trailer = ("Path/To/Video/Folder/" + DP_UPC + ".mov");
OpenWindow=window.open('', 'videowindow', config='width=700,height=500,resizable=yes,scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,copyhistory=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no');
OpenWindow.document.write("<HTML>");
OpenWindow.document.write("<TITLE>My Embedded Video</TITLE>");
OpenWindow.document.write("<BODY BGCOLOR=000000>");
OpenWindow.document.write("<EMBED SRC='" + trailer + "'width='320' height='256' autoplay='true'></EMBED>");
OpenWindow.document.write("</BODY>");
OpenWindow.document.write("</HTML>");
OpenWindow.document.close();
self.name="main";
}
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a href='#' onclick="playVideo()"><img src='Path/To/Image/image.jpg' /></a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
and place it in a HTML window. then put all the trailers in one folder, naming them by UPC. This way you don't have to manually edit all the Notes field. I believe Mithirandir tried it and found it works (or at least looked at it and thought it should work). | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | I've done a bit of tweaking with the above code and ended up with this: <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- <DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False"> //--> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <script> function playVideo() { var OpenWindow=window.open('', 'newwindow', config='height=512, width=640, toolbar=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, location=no, directories=no, status=no'); var UPC=("<DP NAME="UPC" Formatted="false">") OpenWindow.document.write ("<body leftmargin='0px' topmargin='0px' marginwidth='0px' marginheight='0px'>") OpenWindow.document.write ("<EMBED SRC='file://c:/Users/Public/Videos/Trailers/" + UPC + ".wmv' width='640' height='512' autoplay='true'></EMBED>") OpenWindow.document.close () } var Size=DP_Tags.length+1 var x=0; for (x=0; x<Size; x++) { if (DP_Tags[x]=="Trailer") { document.write ("<a href='playVideo()'>Play the '<DP NAME="TITLE" ShowDesc="false">' Trailer</a>") } } </script> </BODY> </HTML> Just add it to a HTML section and it should display a hyperlink which creates a new window with embeded video. It requires that you add a tag called "Trailer" and check it for every film you have a trailer for. This version works with wmv files that have the same name as the unformatted UPC code and are stored in c:/Users/Public/Videos/Trailers/ though it should be easy enough to customize to different settings. I added the tag so that only films with a trailer will get the hyperlink. |

| | Posted: | | | | northbloke,
this sounds very interesting.
Would it also be possible to have DVDProfiler start playback of a movie I have on a harddrive ?
Let's say I have the movie Bugsy on harddrive C in file form and want to use powerdvd (C:\Programs\Powerdvd\powerdvd.exe) to play it back, would that be possible ?
Would it be possible to add this somewhere to the description of every movie with the option to add the exact location of the file in question ?
There are other programs like mainlobby that do this but I always keep going back to DVDprofiler which is just so superior in every other aspect.
Thanks !

Oliver That's going to be a bit more difficult, but I'm sure the code could be adapted to do something close to what you want it to do. I'll have a play and see what I can do. I'm assuming you store the movies on the hard drive as direct DVD rips? |

I'm assuming you store the movies on the hard drive as direct DVD rips? Most of my movies consist only of just a single ts-file or H264 file and I do indeed store them directly on the harddrive.

Currently: Nowhere.  This is because v1.60 (the DVD-Profiler 3.0 version) is currently in beta stadium. You can, of course, mail me and I will send it to you. | | | Best regards,
