I'd like to thank the help of my friend Ivan from far away in China who spotted several errors in beta two. Thanks to him beta 3 is now available and ready for the rest of the world to see and use, and also a mention to Jason Mock for his help with beta 2. If you find any problems with beta 3 please email me..
Bring the functionality of Apples Frontrow trailers to your Windows MCE machine. Trailer Park provides you with an equivalent of the ‘My Music’ option. The art for each movie title is shown just like your music albums, and when you select a trailer, it's played back full screen, while it's downloading from apple.com (default quick time settings).
Trailer Park requires the latest version of Quicktime to be installed. There are a few quirks. Whilst playing in full screen mode the normal remote control buttons do not function as expected. Play, Stop, Pause will not respond. However, if you press OK the movie will pause, pressing OK again will restart the movie. Pressing the left arrow rewinds and the right arrow fast forwards the trailers. The back button, as always will return you back to the Trailer menu.
With options to sort by trailer title, release date and date posted, additional information about the movie including running time, rating and production studio. ‘Trailer Park’ offers a more feature rich environment than Apples Frontrow.
For smooth playing of trailers it is best if you have a broadband connection, however this can be tuned by using the settings available from within Quicktime. Please refer to the Quicktime help for information on how to do this. |
