Popeye2468 31 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hi I have got some intros which I want to play before each movie however some of the intros are Disney some are paramount, new line cinema etc What I want to know is how to set it up so that all my Disney movies play the Disney intro and Pixar movies play Pixar intro etc. The tag option says it can do this possibly? However unsure as how to set it up the instructions on the client are not very clear to me Please can someone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboehler 94 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) 1. For each Tagged intro you want to use, you will need an intro video. I suggest naming them Disney.mp4, Pixar.mp4, etc. Keep them all in the same folder. Mine, for example, are in \\diskstation\media\intros\tagged. 2. You have to tag each movie separately. So in each movie, set a tag for the appropriate intro. You must follow the naming format: custom-intro-Disney.mp4, custom-intro-Pixar.mp4, etc. 3. Go into MB Intros and add a Tag intro. Browse to the folder you stored your intros in (from step 1). That's it! Let me know if you have any questions. I can post screenshots if necessary.

Popeye2468 31 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 So when you say set a tag how do I do that? Does it have to be I. The folder name I.e. Robots custom-intro-Pixar.mkv Or should it be an XML file name custom-intro-Pixar.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mboehler 94 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is a modification of my post above with more details and screenshots. 1. Store your Tagged Intros in a folder. Mine, for example, are in \\diskstation\Media\Intros\Tagged. For each Tagged Intro you want to use, you will need an intro video. I suggest naming them Disney.mp4, Pixar.mp4, etc. 2. Tag your movies. 2a. Open the web client, select a movie, and click Edit. 2b. Scroll down and click the + next to Tags. Enter the tag for the intro you want to play. It must be in the format of custom-intro-Disney.mp4, custom-intro-Pixar.mp4, etc. In this case I'm using custom-intro-Disney.mp4. Click +Add 2c. You must do this for each movie that you'd like to play a Tagged Intro. Repeat step 2 as many times as necessary. 3. Set up MB Intros. 3a. In the dashboard, click Plugins, and then click MB Intros. 3b. Select the appropriate Profile (you may or may not have more than one profile). 3c. Click the + next to Add Intro, then click Tag Intro. For specific instructions, you can click the "i". 3d. Select the folder you stored your tagged intros in, then click OK. 3e. You should now see an entry in the list of Intros like this: 4. Use the buttons to place your Intros in the desired order. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
