Previews and Trailers

    From the example rest code it shows that previews are available. However the links don't seem to show up in the actual results, unless i missed it. You can manually go to the /previews link but it then appears that the links to the flash trailer are dynamic in nature. Are previews actually supported?

    Previews are not supported at this time. I've corrected the XML examples that reference previews in the documentation.

    We are considering previews for a future release, although they'll likely first appear as an HTML widget via the JavaScript API vs. URLs returned via the REST API, given the use restrictions around this content.

    Thanks for the reply. Definitely looking forward to previews/trailers. I've had trouble finding even finding a provider for small non-profit audience/usage.

    Are previews still not included in the API?

    We'll be making previews available in widget form from the javascript API at a later date.
