im using the latest Frodo build, windows 7 64 bit.
When I go to play trailers for my movies via the trailers option in the media information window for a movie, the buffering takes far longer then it should and also I often get a Cache Full error. Now I have seen some posts about an advancedsettings.xml where you can change the size of the cache but I went to the proper location and the file was nowhere to be found. So since I have no idea how to change the cache size, or change the default trailer play quality to 720p instead of 1080p and my research thus far has yielded no relevant or helpful results I have come up with some different possible ways of taking care of this, so here's my questions.
Is there a setting or an add on for xbmc to actually download hq trailer video files for my movie into the folder containing the movie files and have xbmc just load them from there when I hit the trailer option for a movie, instead of trying to stream them every time I want to watch the trailer? Because although they would take up more space this would solve my problem quite efficiently.
If not then I would be willing to just manually download trailers myself if there is a way to have xbmc play them when I hit the trailer button for that movie instead of auto searching for a trailer and streaming it. I don't even know if this is possible or whether it would be something as simple as giving the trailer video file a specific naming convention, or needing to add something the .nfos. But this would work as well if it is indeed possible. Ive tried doing something similar with the latest version of ember media manager but have been unable to get it to work correctly and I have just about run out of ideas.
Any help on this issue would be greatly greatly appreciated by this humble noob. Thanks in advance.
