First of all I would like to thank you for the great program.

Can you set somewhere that only trailers are streamed in German?

Thanks

    I changed the language selection in the selected scraper. Works great.

    That's great. How exactly did you set it up so that you also have German trailers? Some people will be excited if that's possible. Thank you

    Hi,


    as i am currently unable to access the file system of my shieldtv for reasons i cannot explain, i can only suggest a solution. Everything else is up to the respective balster.
    Since I can't download the zip file of the installation either, I'll show my way here using the original Cinemavision. The paths differ only in the names. The files are (as far as I could see) the same.
    Trailers are provided via the so-called scraper.py files.
    I mainly use tmdb. So I can find my corresponding scraper under [KodiAddOn]\script.preshowexperience\lib\preshowexperience\scrapers\tmdb
    Open the date scraper.py with a corresponding editor (I use Notpad++) and look in the first lines for the BASE_URL
    This looks as follows
    BASE_URL = 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{endpoint}?language=en-US&api_key=' + API_KEY
    I then change this to BASE_URL = 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{endpoint}?language=en-DE&api_key=' + API_KEY

    Read here -> https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/languages
    Save, restart Kodi and enjoy the trailers in German (or any other language).

    Hope that helps

    Thank you. It works perfectly. If you change "language=en-DE" like this, the trailers remain in English. If you change it to "language=de-DE" then the trailers are in German. Thank you for your encouragement. So folks, you can now enjoy the trailers from TMDB in German.

    I just watched trailers in English, German, French & Spanish.  1 important thing to note is the language is set at the point of the scan, not at playback.  

    There's also a file stored in PreShow's data so that you can hammer the scraper, so the trailer language can't be updated quickly unless that file is deleted. In other words, you can't quickly change between languages.  

    I went with what I think would be the 10 most common NA or European languages.  This should be in the next dev or official version of PreShow.

    Also, I'm going to change the title of this topic since it affects other languages.
