SPOTLIGHT - Trailers on the homepage

[KodiUser1138]

JF plays all local trailers with no issues. At least all I've tried (out of over 7,000).

I noticed the list.txt file was already in the UI directory. I edited it with the movie ID's for a certain number and it does work. Though for one trailer that is MKV it did not.

Now most of my trailers are MP4 but some, mostly just for 3D movies, are MKV. That's another issue JF has in general, no ability to take SBS 3D MKV files and play them back as single side 2D. When 3D trailers play they take up the full screen wide showing a double image. Why the non-3D MKV didn't play I don't understand.

Also any MP4 that have AC3 audio get no sound playback.

The list doesn't play randomly, just in it's specific order. The other issue i'd have with it is if the movie ID changes, say when you need to change the location of a file or change something about the movie itself (upgrade to better version).

It does look cool when playing for sure. Not a fan of the large buttons in a control box as it doesn't fit with the rest of the JF default theme. And as mentioned, aside from the pause button, it would be great to be able to close down (minimize to the top?) the entire box and have it essentially STOP until started again.

I'd also like both a volume control slider specific to the trailers playback as well a video scrub slidder that can appear atthe bottom of the video but those are just wish list spitballing ideas.

And to stay on that note, could this be implemented into other areas of the server? Spefically in Collections? Like if I have a bunch of collections and then one is the Marvel Cinematic Universe could this then begin playing trailers when viewing the MCU collections folder?

If you'd like I can get you access to my server to see what I'm talking about more clearly.
