well... however many could literally be up to the user... but for my case... just 1. I willl be using it for olnly a movie trailer... or a TV Show intro.

And no the videos are not local... using youtube they give you a code to put into an html file... and the video stays hosted on their site. all it really needs is a place to put their "embed Video" code for each profile.

Alright, then it's simple... going to code it now... bbl

Let me just run this by you first.
How about this: <youtube path=v code=RokR9Dx4R6g /> in notes. Would that be okay?

Xyrano, you really only need the code part, the base URL for YouTube is always

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

I think the v is there just for the rewrite url for Apache.. I'm guessing the URL are much more complicated "behind the scenes".

Unless you really want in embedded..

But I was thinking we could have a hybrid window for both YouTube and GoogleVideo ?

Unless you really want in embedded..
x: I was thinking both a link and a embed option. Something that is decided in notes... like <youtube=code aslink /> which would render a link, <youtube=code /> would embed it ???

But I was thinking we could have a hybrid window for both YouTube and GoogleVideo ?

Hybrid sounds good, only I don't know the code or url for googlevideos, right now.
Can you take a crack at it?

Be aware that the copyright holder of the trailer / TV show intro may want Youtube to remove the copyrighted material from their site. I have seen a lot of clips disappear from Youtube with an error message indicating this. Therefore Youtube may not be the best place to host commercial trailers.

Yeah... but I believe that is true with pretty much any online host isn't it?

It always amazes me when I see a copyright holder demand that a trailer be removed from a website. It's free advertisement! Don't they spend enough already in advertisement? Now, if they have some sort of exclusive agreement with another site, I could understand, but why get, oh I don't know, the 1977 Star Wars trailer removed for copyright reason, is really beyond my understanding.

I know they are well within their rights to do so, but I just can't understand the logic behind it.

A TV show intro, OTOH, I can understand, even though if it is only the intro, I still see it as free advertisement and wouldn't see the problem with leaving it there. It's not like they are losing too much money with people seeing only the opening

Here's 4 links for Google Videos, I guess only the docid is interesting. But some have a "-" in front, while others don't. Don't know what it changes, but I can confirm it is important.

http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-7659511344206202037
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=3432265409994388404
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-6710211402317199827
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-2562011283313707032

Google.ca or .com doesn't change anything, it points to the same video.

But I don't think you can embed Google Videos. I haven't seen any link to do so.

You can also add "autoplay" in the flashvars parameter to make it play automatically.

Xyrano, if you put it in an HTML windows, how do you plan to link it to the correct profile ?

My guess is it will be the same way we did it for the Episode Guide and Gallery: put <youtube=<youtubeid>> or <googlevid=<googleid>> in the notes of the profile.

Nothing extraordinary, I just happened to have it because it's the last one I used.

The notes field is easy but I thought xyrano and addictedtodvd were talking about an html window.

yeah... as for the notes field we are talking about putting an indicator in the notes to show that there would be something to show in the new html window.
