| Post subject: | Apple Trailers not working since upgrade |
Since I have upgraded to 8.4.1 Apple Trailers are not working, you an select a trailer and you get the loading message and then nothing it just goes away and nothing plays. I am not even sure which log to look at to see what is happening, any idea on how to troubleshoot and fix? Cheers |

Start with the ~/appletrailer.xml and run one of the menu items from cmd line and see if you get any errors. |

Found two issues: 1. When looking at the file ~/appletrailer.xml it is bleedingly obvious there is an issue, the trailer command uses && instead of && Code: EXEC loading.sh && mplayer-wrapper.pl -fs -zoom -really-quiet -user-agent "QuickTime/7.6.2" -cache 16000 http://trailers.apple.com/movies/wb/batmanthekillingjoke/batmanthekillingjoke-tlr1_h640w.mov 2. Once that was fixed I then found that mplayer was missing libmpeg2, used pacman to install it. Thus once both of these issues were corrected I was then able to play a trailer. Went a little deeper into it and found the file: /usr/bin/myth_trailers_grabber had the errant command for issue 1 above, I replaced the appropriate && and then ran /etc/cron.daily/trailers to grab the trailers and check appletrailers.xml and it now has the right command. Go to the Apple Trailers menu and now find I get this error: Code: The menu file appletrailer.xml is incomplete. Checking the appletrailer.xml file further everything looks fine, except it ends like this: Code: <button> <type>VIDEO_BROWSER</type> <text>Marauders*VIDEO ERROR*</text> <action>EXEC </action> </button> </mythmenu> I would have created a bug for this issue except I can't seem to find where to create a bug these days. Cheers and looking forward to hearing how to fix this issue. |

The && is correct encoding for the xml file. But to run it from the shell it does need to be &&. Change that back and you should be good. The issue for you was libmpeg2 not being installed. I will have to look deeper as to why it wasn't a dep of mplayer. |

I have changed it back but still get the issue of the error of the menu item now being incomplete. |

Since it is still incomplete it sounds like the grabber didn't get corrected and the cron run. |

I also have the Marauders Video Error but I suspect that is a problem parsing the feed. However all the other videos still work here with that error. |

It *is* a problem with the feed: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/home/xml/current.xml Looks like the XML is not well-formed, due to a bad character in the Marauders description that's causing things to choke. I logged it with Apple as a website issue, so we'll see if they can do anything about it. |
