YouTube Trailer Downloader (Global Plugin)

Added by fatal about 1 year ago

This plugin was thought of many times, as it has a wealth of trailers, especially for older movies, but was always thrown out as an automated way to grab trailers b/c there was no concrete way to match the search results returned to the actual movie.

So now, instead of an automated way, this global plugin will allow you to manually search for and download trailers for your movies within the metabrowser interface.

The YouTube Downloader window stays on top of your metabrowser window, but still allows you to access the main metabrowser GUI, allowing you to easily select and search for trailers for your collection.

Click here to watch a YouTube video of it in action

Notes

  • The currently selected movie is what the trailer will be downloaded for
  • You can select movies even with the YouTube Trailer Downloader window open
  • If a movie already has a trailer, it will not allow you to download another one, as not all frontends support multiple trailers
  • Only mp4 format will be downloaded, flv is ignored

Launch the YouTube Trailer Downloader

Configure Settings

Supported constructs:

  • %lt - Local Title
  • %ot - Original Title
  • %st - Sort Title
  • %py - Production Year

Main Window

This window is NOT modal, and still allows you to access metabrowser allowing you to select a different movie to search for trailers for.

Download

The available resolutions for the .mp4 format will be displayed for you to select and download. Click one of the resolutions to start the download.

Hum,

Maybe it has to do something w/ your region, I will address this further in issue #539 which you have created.

How do I find the "configure settings" dialog box for Youtube downloader? - Added by ianeasson about 1 year ago

I have looked everywhere. Mostly, under "settings, "global settings". I see the Youtube downloader listed, but there is no way to configure its settings.

Thanks.

Hey,

First download the plugin through the auot-update/manage plugins window....after metabrowser restarts, right click an item and launch the YouTube downloader.

In that window, the first icon is a cog icon, which opens the settings window for it. This YouTube video show it also.

Too bad we can't get something to select and download upcoming movie trailers from youtube that works like this.

RE: YouTube Trailer Downloader (Global Plugin) - Added by fatal 9 months ago

Hey,

There is already capability to download upcoming trailers (current trailers) in meta<browser/> using Apple Trailer feed. You can configure it in Settings->Movies->Trailers. This can be setup as an automated way to grab trailers unlike using youtube, where you would have to manually search for trailers for upcoming movies.
