Script Summary: Download the movie trailers from apple. Useful, if you don't like Quicktime/iTunes.
Version: 1.2.0
Description
This script is based on the awesome Apple Trailer Download (Fixed) script by mirzmaster which in turn is based on zatic's Apple Trailer Download script. This script won't work with older pages or non-HD formats.
The script creates a nice looking, fixed container at the bottom-right corner of the window. It will open the 480p panel by default while the others will stay closed. This is to prevent a huge list of trailers from creating a box bigger than the current viewport. The box also features adaptive coloring ;)
Finally, it will translate some known abbreviations into human readable text, e. g. fte to Featurette, sbspot to Big Game Spot, tlr to trailer, etc. Unfortunately, this doesn't always match with Apple's naming scheme: "tsr" probably corresponds to teaser but that's not always the case. You've been warned. use the titles designated by Apple for the links.
Requirements
You have to disable the other two scripts this script is based on to prevent conflicts.
You will need something like UAControl to control the user agent string automatically so that you can actually download the trailer. I'm using QuickTime/7.6.9 (qtver=7.6.9;os=Windows NT 5.1Service Pack 3) for trailers.apple.com. Without this user agent string clicking on any link provided by this script will have no effect apart from redirecting you to Apple's trailer page.
Notes
All the credit goes to zatic and mirzmaster.
If you'd rather open 720p/1080p by default, change the DEFAULT_CONTAINER constant in the code - for now.
