The client can run in a scheduled batch mode, to download new trailers and update the trailer database, making this totally hands free.
Mezzmo channels are server side solutions which can provide extended functionality to all Mezzmo clients without adding any software or making any changes to the clients. These include Kodi, Roku, Android and other Mezzmo clients.
This new version of the Mezzmo Movie Trailers channel, like the original version, is powered by The Movie Database (TMDB). It will download, via the client, high quality trailers for the 4 major TMDB movie categories:
Now Playing
Upcoming
Popular
Top Rated
You might be wondering what makes this different than other trailer solutions ? This is a server driven solution which provides an unparalleled level of automation and doesn't requires touching each client to install and maintain software. When accessing the Mezzmo Movie Trailers Channel via a Kodi client running the Mezzmo Kodi Addon, you can even launch directly into playing a Mezzmo Movie Trailers channel movie directly from the context menu. The Mezzmo Kodi addon searches your Kodi database and presents a Play From Mezzmo option if the movie is in your library.
