Movie trailers of quicktime
posted by shalunhasitiSTAFFMOD on March 14, 2014 at 5:55 AM
I've tried couple API call /3/movie/{id}/trailers, all the response i got have empty quicktime field. I'm wondering, what will the field looks like if it is non-empty. Could anyone give me an example (movie id)?

Hi shalunhasiti,
There isn't really. QT trailers were never really adopted by the community and never "took off" so to speak. Around 2 months ago we removed them entirely from the website.
Cheers.

Hi Travis,
I happened to read through some of these topics in API support, currently in php-tmdb-api I only implement youtube trailers as I came to the same conclusion that quicktime is barely ever used? if in the future this would be changing I think TMDB API should give us configurable parameters to construct the complete url / embed object in html. That way new options / old options can be removed by design of a single component.
I don't see this necessary for the short future but it might be a good idea for the long term.
