Posted September 3, 20232 yr Administrator The Apple iTunes Movie Trailers site has been shut down. Because of this iTunes trailers in PreShow will no longer work. I'll post more when there is additional news.
September 12, 20232 yr PreShow Supporter Apparently that's where https://www.hd-trailers.net/ was linking from. Any other sources where we can manually download trailers?
September 12, 20232 yr Author Administrator Yes, hd-trailers.net was pulling from apple. I don't think there are any other places with downloadable trailers that are regularly updated. There are ad heavy sites that will allow you to download trailers, but they are a bit of a pain. Please let me know if anyone finds a site with regularly updated non YT trailers. We are working on another solution inside of PreShow that is the only reliable non YT place that I can find. Places don't like to have their content crawled, so this will unfortunately be an ongoing or repeating issue.
October 12, 20231 yr The Digital Theater used to be a great place to download video bumpers, but they changed their format to movie trailers. High quality ones too. Check them out here. I don't know if they are up to date anymore, but I do know that they have User Uploaded Trailers that you can download as well. Check them out here.
October 18, 20231 yr I use TMM for creating my .nfo files and they have hd-traileres.net , OFDb.de and themoviedb.org listed for trailer scrapers. We already know the deal with hd-trailers and it looks like themvoiedb.org sources trailers from YouTube. I'm not sure where the trailers are on OFDb.de. I've tried to find them, but since the website is in German, I may be missing it so I can't confirm their source. The free version of TMM hasn't been updated in a while, so OFDb.de may not host trailers anymore.
January 18, 20241 yr Yeah the Apple Trailers deal is really a shame. My biggest struggle lately has been finding recent trailers to play before movies in our home cinema and I am losing the struggle on the regular!!!
January 19, 20241 yr Author Administrator There are still 2 options for streamed trailers in PreShow.
