I tried searching the forum but no avail. I was wondering if the following is possible. I would like to have multiple prerolls (codec intros) files to be chosen at random per a given codec, then be played before a movie. For example I would like to structure my codec intro folder like so: codec intros dts file1.mkv file2.mkv fileN.mkv atmos file1.mkv file2.mkv etc.mkv ac3 file1.mkv etc Then emby would go into a folder/tag based on the media and then choose a file at random. judging from the documentation this doesn't seem to be the case, is this something possible? Thanks for all the help.

It would be awesome to add to the functionality of the codec intro feature so that a custom intro can play when it matches the movieDB or IMDB id it will play. So for example, I am making custom movie certificate preroll videos based off of the BBFC black cards, for me to get this to work, I have to tag each film uniquely in order for the preroll to show. It would be much smoother if the codec intro could use the movie Id as then I only need to video name to match the Movie ID which cuts the amount of work in half ie. for the Yellow Submarine Movie I could just have a video called '12105.mp4' in my custom codec intro video path. It would be useful in other use cases for example people replicating movie preroll quizzes or trivia that some cinemas do. This is probably a duplicate request, however I feel like it is unique enough to warrant it's own post.

So, I see all of these Plex pre-roll videos that people are making. I'm old and nostalgic, so I thought that I would jump on the bandwagon and make a VHS-ish preroll to use with my Cinema mode. Of course, I had to also show my support for Emby. Anyhoo, here's what I slapped together using GIMP and KDEnlive. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jgugx5ucmxd6cqz/test1.mp4?dl=0

Just some Emby prerolls for cinema mode i made from favorite moments in film. much thanks and credit to chef and morales for the flashy elements. Hope somebody likes them and they are free to use on your own servers. Link to Zip file for all: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vielaiphbc1txv2/prerolls.zip?dl=0
