You had me excited for a moment...
I opened CMC last night and was greeted with the forced update to version 8. I thought your YouTube Trailers fix had been implemented, but not yet.

Second thought, for testing I thought it would make sense to try the Youtube_Init.exe file.
I ran it and as you said it opened a full-screen YouTube session. It was NOT logged in. I did not log in with my Google Account as it's not a paid YouTube Premium account. I Alt-F4'ed to get out of the full ...

First of all, I did have to go through the MS Defender Virus Allow process to download the zip file.
I managed to download it on a second attempt after clicking "Allow" it in the Protection History list.
So for me, with NO YouTube Premium subscription, The_Dark_Knight_Trailer.exe ran perfectly the ...

I have full faith in your programming competence to figure this out. After all, CMC is awesome product, as is CCC.

Tried downloading the file via three different browsers and it won't download. They each say Couldn't Download - Virus Detected.
I don't use any additional virus software other than what's available in Windows 11.

Great! I'm anxiously awaiting the CMC integration.
The trailer link in CMC is one of the most important features for me. I miss it.

That's awesome! I'll look forward to that; sounds like a great solution rather than fighting to constantly keep YouTube playback working in MPC-BE. If you can make the Edge window open, play and then close the window afterwards, all from just clicking the Trailer link in CMC, that's going to be a ...

I finally got around to updating MPC-BE to the latest version, 1.8.7.x64
I tested this update on two different PCs and got the same result.
Now, instead of the "File Not Found" message coming up in MPC-BE 1.8.1, in the new version 1.8.7 whenever I try to open a YouTube Trailer I'm getting the ...

Tested on two PCs.
Doesn't matter which movie I pick, when I choose to run the Trailer, MPC-BE launches the black screen and a few seconds later I get the white text FILE NOT FOUND and I have to close out MPC-BE manually.
Haven't upgraded or changed anything in ages, including MPC-BE upgrades ...

UPDATE:
Apparently all my PCs were suddenly missing the required yt-dlp.exe file from the MPC-BE installation folders.
I've manually downloaded that file and added it and it's fixed this issue. Clearly I had it before; not sure what happened to lose it off all my PCs. Windows 10 Virus checking? Who ...
