I'm curious how many people actually use HTML windows in their Layouts.

I currently use 5 windows (and will hopefully get a 6th with some help from members here).

I use:
Trailers
Last Watched
Overview HTML
Tagline
Total Film Review (my fave movie mag - in which I type their reviews).

I know some people have links to others sites like Wikipedia and IMDB....but, I'm curious to what else is 'out there'.

I use 3, as a replacement for Overviews and Ratings and for the Plugin Profile Comparison Plus.

  • Features+

  • Compact display of features, video, audio, subtitles. Replaces the four regular windows that hold these informations.
  • Cast+, Crew+

  • Compact display of episode credits. Used in addition to the regular cast and crew windows.
  • Notes+

  • Advanced notes display and editing, together with info links pulled from a secondary database. Replaces the regular Notes window.
  • Watched

  • Detailed DVD content list with associated watched dates, ratings, comments, also pulled from a secondary database.
  • Links

  • Title based search on various websites and price finder engines.
  • SourceSafe

  • Version control system for profiles and covers.
  • Audit

  • Audit infos, also pulled from a secondary database.

    EDIT:

  • Goodguy's Crew+, Cast+ and Feature+

  • An IMDb page loader

  • A Wikipedia page loader

  • The EPG loader

  • A Gallery (though I'll probably move it all to DVDP's own feature)

  • A Trailer loader

  • A special purpose window that generates BBCode to post reviews on a forum

  • A quick window to show at a glance the fields I like to have locked on all my profiles.

    @hydr0x

    Do you want a trailer window embedded into a html window or would you settle for a link to the trailer?

    - EPG (of course!)
    - Last Watched
    - Sound Bites (which I just started using)
    - Taglines
    - Awards

    Since my initial post I have added:

    Cast+ and Crew+
    Name Varaint
    Profiler Companion Plus

    Now I'm off to sort out the Awards one....

    Hopefully this thread will bring these plugins to the attention of other users too!
    Some very cool stuff out there!

    That's where I was a few months ago.

    An HTML virgin!

    Basically, in simple terms, an HTML windows allows you to have a customized set of data and a 'look' you want.
    For example I wanted to have a way of showing the tagline for a film, eg Alien: "In Space No One Can Hear You Scream".

    Someone here wrote the 'code' for the html window and then I copied it into the HTML edit section. I now have a separate window I can dock anywhere which scrolls through the taglines I have assigned.

    I am personally a complete idiot when it comes to the code side of things (barely able to underline, bold, or change background colour), but there are quite a few people in the forum who are not only incredibly adept at this sort of thing; they're also very generous with their help and time!!!

    I'm using 4 of them now.

    - Review (the one posted here)
    - Dymo label printer
    - Dymo barcode printer
    - Kijkwijzer (Dutch Rating)

    I had more, but I keep changing my minds on things
    Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.
