All IMDB trailers are broken, including upcoming and classic trailers. I don't know if there is a way to resolve the issue.
It is the season for giving, so, for those who want the latest and greatest, this is for you: hot on the heels of Kodi 22 "Piers" Alpha 1 (and Kodi 21.3 "Omega"), we present the perhaps predictably-titled Alpha 2.
Usual words - the step from 21 to 22 is a major release, but it's also an Alpha at this stage, so you're going to get some bugs as well as funky new features. That is, of course, a major part of the point of early release software: please raise GitHub issues with full debug logs to help us resolve any regressions you wonderful testers come across.
Okay, what's new in this version?

PVR

Platforms
If cutting-edge software is your thing, you can get Alpha 2 from here. Select your platform of choice, and look in the "Prerelease" section. Again, though, please: expect some breakage, don't use this as your daily installation unless you know how to get things working again, and please share your experiences back with us so we can really get going on those bugs. And take a backup first!
As usual, in the full spirit of open source, you can see what's changed since Alpha 1 here and from v21.3 here.
