Description: trailertracker is a trailer viewer, using Apple's iTunes XML (online). I wanted to create something like this before, but never got around to it. When I saw osd_movies on kde-look, I was thrilled to see it. I quickly changed some things (caching, fullscreen playback) and thought: what the heck, I'll create one myself. And here it is: trailertracker!
PyQT is a requirement for 1.1. Also: you need to reload your theme for configuration changes to take effect!. This will be solved in the next release. Last changelog:
Trailertracker is very nice but will not play trailers on kde4? It starts in superkaramba but you can click till the cow's come home...but not video, at leats on my lap top. Any suggestions for KDE4 users???? Thank you
Well, when 4.2 is out I want to try to make a pure KDE4 version of trailertracker. I can't even install python-kde4 here on my openSUSE 11 box, because it can't install the correct python-sip package (dependency of python-kde4). So you'll have to hold out for a while. I want it to work as well. :)
This is awesome. I've been searching for something like this for months.
I have a question:
Is there a way to navigate between trailers? I have to reload theme to watch more than one trailer.
Well, that shouldn't be a problem, really. I can navigate fine from one to the other. I'm not really putting any support in trailertracker as I'm possible rewriting it next year for KDE 4. :/
Could you please tell me how to navigate between trailers without reloading whole trailertracker? What I’m asking is: Which keys are used in trailertracker as control keys? Maybe it's a mouse and some key combination? Could you write few words about it?
I guess it's a selfish consideration but I like mine better :-). I like the idea of being able to see actors, director and release dates. Maybe can you integrate that also in the theme?
I see that you cache pics at startup, which is great... my theme being a bit slow because of this sometimes.
If you want to share ideas, do not hesitate!
And, by the way, I have other themes that you may like/want to rework also.
Great job still ;-)

You can simply use the mouse scroll wheel to navigate through the trailers and right click the theme to go to the configure menu. :)
I did not know that SuperKaramba can do this! really cool one.
