Random trailers with integrated media player

[Eskimosand]

Give the integrated video player the ability to run random trailers or trivia rather than using Zoomplayer and/or plugins.

Have the ability to gather DVD information directly with XLobby rather than using DVD Profiler or other seperate programs.

Integrate some of the great skins that have already been produced and finish some that are incomplete, such as Rika's Vintage skin. That skin is so classy. Go Rika.

On Calrad's older software called A.V.E.S (Audio-Video-Entertainment-System) we had a feature that played random video trivia. We will eventually add the ability to allow developers to plugin to the xLobby media player and do this or we will add some basic trivia interface \database that can be enabled or disabled by the user, similar to the screenshots below.

The Trivia could be about anything. Other features could be added, like team play with scores, etc. . Random trailers is a great idea for the new player. Maybe even pulling current movie trailers on films in the theater from the net would be cool or short random clip of a family video in the video library.

The next beta release of xLobby will have a Video menu \ database for personal or family video's this is separate from the movie library, which will provide another database to pull content from.

Sounds good.
I am basically looking at reproducing the feel of being in a theater, so I would have the program set up to randomly play a few trailers, maybe some trivia slides, but no commercials please.
