Hada hunch after reading your above instructions that becauwe the list.txt was already present in the UI folder and it was populated with your default example which doesn't correlate to anything in my library this is what was causing my previous failures. So I removed the list.txt and now it's pulling directly from my movie library.
One issue with that (and also a volume slider is definitely needed!) is that it's pulling from any library that is set-up as "movies" within JF. I have my main movies library but then 2 different concert libraries which are set-up as 'movies', a documentary library plus a 4K Movies and DVD Movies libraries, the former for the few 4K's I have for testing at this point and the later is compressed versions of movies compatible with mobile devices for easy streaming and travel purposes. I would prefer to NOT have these libraries contrinute to the rotation of movie trailers.
And lastly, to not have all my hard drives spinning to grab these trailers would be great. But that means bringing copies over to a central location and would need quite a lot of storage dedicated to that. A problem for future me I suppose.
