Trailer download tool for Kodi media collections created by MediaElchDownloads trailers for movies, either from a URL defined in the .nfo file, or by searching Youtube and taking the first result.Requirements:A folder structure like this: The Hitchhiker's gude to the galaxy (2001)|> Alamar (2009)|> A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |> A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) [720p].mp4 |> A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) [720p].nfo |> A.I.

Artificial Intelligence (2001) [720p]-trailer.mkvThe .nfo file must be a standard XML file (in my case, generated by MediaElch), containing at least the movie title, although the year and a trailer URL will also be used if found. Currently the XML files generated by TinyMediaManager don't work (crash). Note that for the newest versions of MediaElch, you have to uncheck "store Youtube URLs in plugin format", on the first page of MediaElch settings, until I get around to fixing it.This program will download the "-trailer" file, if it is not already there.You'll also need:youtube-dl installed and in your PATHJava (1.8+)Should work on Windows / Mac / Linux, but I've only tested on Linux.Download the .jar file from the releases section, and run it:java -jar KodiTralierDownloader.jar --input-directory "/path/to/top-level-directory/"It will (should...) do the rest (That is, download a trailer for each movie in each subdirectory of top-level-directory). I'd recommend piping the output to a file so you can check that the correct trailers were downloaded, since the youtube search for "moviename year trailer" doesn't always actually give a proper (or good) trailer, especially for more obscure movies.I recommend not looking at the code, it's a mess and will hurt your eyes (and brain).You're welcome to report bugs, but
