You can also call this addon from other addons or in STRM files as below.
plugin://plugin.video.imdb.trailers/?action=play_id&imdb=imdb_id
For e.g.,
plugin://plugin.video.imdb.trailers/?action=play_id&imdb=tt0113957

So I just read about this addon and had never heard about it before. My setup now uses the YouTube addon to play trailers but I'm curious about this one now. How exactly does this work with STRM files? Do you have to put the link as you mentioned in every movie and tv show NFO file manually? Or can it somehow be written in an xml file somewhere in the skin? Thanks

Sorry, I do not know how to integrate with a skin, Please check with a skilled skinner like @beatmasterrs

Hello,
I'm having troubles with the "Recently Added" section. It seems to be a transient issue in that it is broken for a period of time(weeks) then works for another period of weeks. It is the same on Linux and Android. There has been no addon update that I have noticed associated with the change from working to not working. 

If you have a bit of spare time maybe you could look at the following log segment to see what's going on:

Yeah, the error happens when a movie/show does not have a plot defined.
replace line 302 in imdb_trailers.py with the following line, until i release a fix in the official repo

Code:

plot = video.get('description').get('value') if video.get('description') else ''

Thanks, that works great. 

I sure do appreciate you keeping this addon working. It is so much nicer than the IMDB one...

Thank you for the post and for the plugin. Any plans for a release incorporating this?

Help please.

My IMDB trailers addon hasn't been working for a few weeks now.
Openelec on a RaspberryPI. Leia 18.9. And on my PC - installed it today to test it.

This is the log from the Raspberry -

[gujal]

Ooops - sorry - log from the PC!!

Yeah looks like it is broken in kodi Leia on the last release. Works fine on Matrix. Will check why it is broken on Leia

[shmizan]

thanks for this!
are you still planning to support Leia?

[gujal]

haven't managed to figure out why it stopped working on Leia, will get to it eventually

[gujal]

@shmizan @paulbloggs v2.1.14 with the fix for Leia submitted to XBMC git for Approval.

[jdig4240]

Hey Gujal, maybe you can help? So I had an IMDB Trailers player working with The Movie Database Helper. Its a really useful player. It stopped working in the last couple days. The IMDB Trailers addon still works and so does the search. Maybe somebody can help get this player working again. Thanks, heres the imdbtrailers.json player code: { "name": "Watch Trailer Now", "plugin": "plugin.video.imdb.trailers", "priority": 1, "play_movie": [ "plugin://plugin.video.imdb.trailers/?action=search", { "keyboard": "{title}" }, { "title": "{title}" } ], "is_resolvable": "false" }

The search endpoint is now for displaying the keyboard and getting an input. It then calls another action search_word with parameter keyword
For your use case now please try with
plugin://plugin.video.imdb.trailers/?action=search_word&keyword=title
