Robnaeyaert 10 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Hello Emby I'm wondering if anything can be done to improve the quality of Trailers please? I'm using the Trailers plugin (1.3.5.0) and the trailers appear blocky / low res and once upon a time they looked quite sharp. Is there any way to improve the quality of are there other plugins/options for increasing the quality please? Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Luke I dont really understand what you mean? I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Trailer plugin used to play high def trailers but the services downgraded to trailers and they were now all lower definition? I'm not sure if that is correct, but in my case, if I play a trailer on say Youtube it plays in high definition perfectly but when I use the Emby Theater Trailers plugin as mentioned above, the trailers are low definition and blocky. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8281 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Ideally, we need a quality selector for the trailers plugin as I believe it defaults to 480p. But yes specific examples with the server log would provide more information. What version of ET? Since this topic is about Emby Theater, do you see the same in the web client? What trailers category are you referring to also? There is a database hack here. But at the same time, it has been reported playing 1080p trailers from this provider does not play without pausing. And you should or at least I see the exact same thing playing directly from their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Luke I just read a long thread that Happy2PLay pointed me to and it looks like I'm not the only one with Trailer quality issues? If that's the case and there is no fix then fine.....but you could have just said that to help instead of asking for more details etc? I'm assuming the Trailers plugin throttles trailers?

Luke 37064 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 It does not throttle trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that dependent on the source provider? Is there a setting to always force HD trailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It depends on the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield1983 0 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Hello everyone, I got the same issue. Since a few months I got all internet trailers in poor quality (max. 480p with a lot of pixels). Eventhough the last versions of plugin trailers is installed. I'm using the Nvidia Shield and Windows PC, on both Emby theater got the same issue. Even on the NAS itself, playing through the Emby server it's max 480p for trailers (excepts the local videos of course). But Youtube has been setup to the max quality each time. Is there a parameter that has been changed on the server or plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholas_davies 5 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Yep, same for me. The trailer quality is horrible. I'm using the regular trailer plugin. If there a fix for this yet?

Sorry Luke, but this sounds like a standard answer since months…even years when I am looking at the other threads. I am observing the same low-res 480p trailers in emby server for Synology and nvidia Shield or iPad as a client. This resolution is unusable. So, the question is: When will it be fixed?

Rikitydj 3 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hi... Any update on this? 480p trailers in 2024 is pretty poor. I just played the trailer for 57 seconds... I left my 480p TV back in 2001 so it doesn't look very good. Do I need to buy a new 480p TV to enjoy emby premiere properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is not an issue with ET or any other Emby app. It is the source that is the issue as the new sources quality. But in the end there are no sources out there that will fit every need and not come at an extreme price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's a pretty dim look for Emby when you click the trailer button and you're forced to watch a horrifically encoded eyesore, it's makes the expierience feel like watching a pirate film on an entry level version of xbmc. Like I said, it's 2024. Trailers are there to promote films, it can't be that hard to find, surely the films producers want the trailers viewed properly?
