You are right it is not working when calling the DVDpedia internal browser. I never noticed this before as I use the default external browser using my own designed Info Template which has the Play Trailer facility.
The code is very simple:
Code: Select all
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=[key:title]+trailer">Trailer</a>
So is this a bug?

I think you will have to wait till the Bruji Pedia team get back to you. In the mean time you can get it to work for you by changing your Preference setting to call your external browser:
DVDpedia Menu - Preferences - General Tab - Tick Box: Open links in external browser
Cheers & Merry Christmas

The Pedias no longer support Flash player but YouTube gives users the option to view content in HTML5 (currently opt-in only). Click on the "Join the HTML5 Trial" link at the bottom of
this page and after that the LeoTab trailer link will work as usual again.
Or as FineWine said, set your preferences to open links in an external browser and Safari or your preferred browser will play the trailer in Flash.

Oh well done - going the Apple Way and no more resource hogging Flash. Does this mean in the future the pedia's will fully support html5?
Merry Christmas

Would it be appropriate of me to start using:
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 5.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/loose.dtd">
in the Info Templates?
