Are online trailers working for you or not? **NOW INCLUDES 'POSSIBLE' FIX**

Yes it does - as I say it was released by Zidoo before they had HT.

ZiDoo Media Center as opposed to XBox Media Center (before it became known as Kodi).

 

Hi,
I didn't understand very well, sorry... Why don't the trailers work anymore? What is the problem?
Thanks

 

They come from YouTube and YouTube has changed something, so it will require Zidoo to include a fix in the next update. So it could be a long wait.

 

I have gone over to Tiny Media Manager to download my trailer and even that is having trouble

 

Some of the YouTube videos have a video codec that Zidoo doesn’t recognise. I had to run 2 through avidemux and convert to avc. Pretty quick and fixed them. I suspect this is going to be a cat and mouse game, not the first time but that’s why I’m not prepared to rely on internet downloads. I do my own now

 

@Markswift2003
YouTube trailer like you said,is a problem of api .... Because they(YouTube) dont want to use video from them....

Why dont use the trailers from imdb or other cinemas media site?
In imdb there are all trailers of movie/series....
And there aren't api control....

 

I have converted over to using TMM and all the 1300 trailer I downloaded were available on imdb in the trailer section but they was only available in 480p resolution , but that's better than none

 

Licencing.

Online trailers are fixed for the next firmware. Until the next time...

 

Surprising - other than a few older trailers, the majority of mine are 1080p.

Most modern ones are available in 2160p as well but I think 1080p is fine for a trailer.

 

And for when? the next firmware.......

 

Sorry, don’t know.

 

Thank you.....lots of little bugs.....we'll wait!

 

Here's the MediaInfo that wouldn't play until I ran it through Avidemux and changed the video to AVC

Yes - AV1 isn't supported on the 1619DR boxes.

 

Good morning, Firmware v.1.1.80: trailers work again
In the meantime I downloaded all the trailers with a little software that I created

 

Interesting....is it for public use? asking for a friend....
