After update to new version of Emby for Kodi, and old issue has turned up again (re-appeared a few times over the years) 🙂

Local trailers are no longer working as the YouTube links is being prioritized before local trailers. 

Kodi = 20.1
Emby for Kodi Next Gen = 7.13.7 and I have also tested 8.1.3 beta.
Emby = 4.7.11.0

For both 7.13.7 and beta 8.1.3 I cleared the DB and made a full refresh. Issue is still the same as it tries to play the YouTube trailers instead of the local trailer.

What does the option "vacuum" db do vs the one in the server? I mean, is it a good practise when we trigger vacuum on the server, to also do it client-side?

Would love to know this also

The vacuum in plugin cleans/optimizes the KODI databases and yes. You can trigger it from time to time.

You can try latest plugins beta and enable "Use path subsitution". This is a workaround for an actual Kodi limitation.

No additional changes required. Maybe reset artwork, but not mandatory.

Some devices may have problems with path substitution, if so keep it disabled.

i have now installed version 8.2.7 once. But there I have the problem that I always get a websocket error message. This is probably because I go from my nvidia shield to my server via a wireguard VPN connection. I do this so that I can use the native mode. Now you might ask yourself, why does it do that ? 1. I use the embuary skin and there is also a kind of cinema mode, but there I can specify a folder where my trailers are located that are played before the movie and there I always have trailers located from movies that will be released in the near future. 2. the streaming simply runs better. When I use the addon mode, I always have small dropouts in the picture. Why also always. Therefore, it would be great if you could implement the trailer fix in the 7.xx. I personally do not need a websocket, it is enough for me if the movies are updated when starting kodi. Thanks

Perfect would be if you would make websocket disableable in the addon

I could disable the message in next 8.X version (as an option). However, the VPN shouldn't cause the issue. I assume you use a proxy and it's not configured correctly.

No , I'll not backport features in 7.X. Only bugfixing, actually 7.X will be EOL as soon as current Emby server 4.8X beta will declared as stable. 7.X is not compatible with 4.8X

Thanks for the info, but I think playing the local trailer without youtube is a bug and not a feature. With the previous version of the addon it worked. But ok, if it is so, then it is so

I am also surprised that it occurs with the shield, because with my windows pc and also a vpn connection the error does not occur. But I have nothing different in the settings within kodi. I also definitely do not use a proxy only the vpn connection.
