I personally dislike using a browser on my Myth box for anything. I do have a wireless keyboard/mouses setup, but I prefer not to keep it out. Also, web pages are not designed for viewing on a TV screen, and bumping up the font sizes is really just an ugly kludge. For something like this ever to get significant acceptance & usage, I'd think it would have to be a 'traditional' Myth set-top interface. I know I'd find it useful. Just my $0.02. -JAC ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

RE: [mythtv-users] movie trailer plugin!
There is a Meedio/MyHTPC plugin that does this. I would enjoy seeing an easy plugin structure for Myth, it could make a big difference. -Original Message- From: Jeff Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 8:52 AM To: Discussion about mythtv Subject: [mythtv-users] movie trailer plugin! I just thought of this idea and wanted to share it before I forgot it again. What if there were a way from within myth to look through the program guide, and on the information screen, download and watch the trailer from it if there is one found? Or additionally, have a plugin that is in the media library that basically says "watch trailers" where it will list off all the movie trailers it finds on some website and if you select one it will download and watch it. (kinda like the video-on-demand trailers on comcast). It's just an idea, I don't have the time to implement it or anything, I just wanted to put it out there in case there was anyone thinking "what could make myth even better?" ps - I don't know if there is a particular website to list off movie trailers, but I'm sure one must exist.

I'm sure it wouldn't make Apple happy. How about this trailer page : http://davestrailerpage.co.uk/ problem is perhaps getting a listing from there.
