I was looking at this yesterday, have the whole plugin ready but it requires the Quicktime user-agent to be sent. I have to look if FFmpeg supports that and if yes, implement the change - so it wouldn't work until 0.6.1 anyway.
Looked into it, doesn't seem we can pass headers to http requests in ffmpeg. Unless not via ffmpeg command line - if someone figures this out then this plugin is a go.

Could java (which i know little about) stream the file to ffmpeg instead of ffmpeg going direct to apple?
java.net.URLConnection c = url.openConnection();
c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Quicktime/7.2.0");
I doubt you want serviio using php/curl...
this ffmpeg page mentions useragent

not going to go through Java, it would only decrease the delivery speed, would increase buffering etc.

What id the trailers were downloaded periodically and then ffmpeg'd?
I did this for my Samsung TV using PHP, ffmpeg, and OSFLV. ffmpeg options "-vcodec copy" and "-acodec copy" make changing from mp4-->avi/flv/mkv very fast.

HD Trailers is really good, amazing job on that groovy.
Problem is inconsistent bitrate as it uses several sources.
Apple Trailers on its own does provide consistent level of quality/bitrate and is one of my most used
XBMC plugin - Source
hereIt uses
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/home/xml/current.xmlA Serviio groovy for this would be amazing!

All the sources including apple provide 3 qualities 480,720 and 1080 and the plugin allows you to choose. There are also lots of movies for which apple has no trailers so an exclusive apple one would be limited.
However, I have added a new option pref=apple so if there is an apple trailer available the latest apple trailer will be shown in place of the latest trailer overall. So best of both worlds.
