I just thought of this idea and wanted to share it before I forgot it again.
What if there were a way from within myth to look through the program guide, and on the information screen, download and watch the trailer from it if there is one found? Or additionally, have a plugin that is in the media library that basically says "watch trailers" where it will list off all the movie trailers it finds on some website and if you select one it will download and watch it. (kinda like the video-on-demand trailers on comcast).
It's just an idea, I don't have the time to implement it or anything, I just wanted to put it out there in case there was anyone thinking "what could make myth even better?"
ps - I don't know if there is a particular website to list off movie trailers, but I'm sure one must exist. Whether or not they mind us scraping their page and downloading their trailers is a different story...
Apple might be a good place to try for trailers (www.apple.com/quicktime).
Personally, I think a more useful plugin would be movie time listings from local theaters. I know Apple's 'Sherlock' tool gets this information (as well as the trailers) via a feed from one of their partners (i.e., no scraping needed), but I haven't seen anyone try to leech off of it yet... I'm sure it wouldn't make Apple happy.
