Version 0.2.0 contains some new features and bug fixes, namely:

• support for all JSON streams from Apple Trailers
• more trailers * better sorted, e.g. by last update and genres
• added movie posters to file system
• fixed issue on WDTV when media database is disabled
• option to redirect log output to log file
• integrated WDTV scripts into build process
• generated source code documentation

Most noticeable will be the new folder structure and the movie thumbnails. The new folder structure allows you to browse the trailers by updates, i.e. the newest trailer is shown first, or to browse the movie trailers by genre or just view movies were HD trailers are available. With the new movie poster support for each movie a thumbnail of the movie poster is shown in the movie’s directory. See the screenshots at the end of the post to get an impression of the new features.

Plugin and installation notes made by Elmar Weber

Here is the first release of the appletrailerfs for the WD TV. It allows you to view the movie trailers from the Apple Trailer page on the WD TV. In case you don’t know the Apple Trailer page I highly recommend it, you get up to 1080p trailers and clips of all the current and upcoming movies.

The application image can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=259619&package_id=320560&release_id=679574 (usually the appletrailerfs-0.1.1.1-alpha-wdtv.zip file is the correct one) or find it in our downloads section.

The application image can be used with either Zorander’s ext3-boot or B-RAD’s WDLXTV. Simply extract the file and copy the appletrailerfs.app.bin onto a USB stick that you use while booting the WDTV.
After a reboot, to view the movie trailers, just navigate to the “Video” menu and select “Folders”. Then go into the “Apple Trailers” directory and browse for a movie and trailer.

Successfully tested on

• ext3-boot 0.8.7.2
• ext3-boot 0.9.2
• WDLXTV 0.5.2

Some movie trailers won’t play because the trailers are no longer online, in the next releases there will be a filter mechanism.
