Hi all,

In my last post I mentioned that I had written and lost a php based site to assist media managers in scraping for trailers. One of the issues the media managers face is scraping for movie trailers. The only large and stable enough repositories out there for movie trailers are Apple Trailers, Yahoo Trailers and YouTube. Unfortunately Apple Trailers seems to remove trailers after the movie has been released for a few months and Yahoo trailers doesn’t seem to have a mass of HD trailers or any real structure (although I have not really investigated it). The issue with YouTube is that while there are plenty of movie trailers in HD quality, it would be virtually impossible for the media managers to automatically select the best trailer from the search results.

This domain name was purchased with the intent of relaunching a previous project (a site for home theatre pc enthusiasts – hence the name allHTPC.com) but I threw on this subdomain to jot down and publicize some of the hackintosh related info, especially as it related to the Asus P5N7A-VM motherboard. The HTPC main site was meant for a niche community that I didn’t/don’t expect to get large enough to warrant any serious web server and as such got pretty much the cheapest hosting out there – GoDaddy.
