MndWrp 99 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The name might not be 100% accurate but the idea is this. Having a field where we can specify a video that will play before a feature. Examples of use would be an unrelated short film that plays before a pixar feature film or a video of "introduction by the director" that exists on some dvds. That would obviously be a manual exercise but interesting nontheless for those interested in recreating the original theatrical experience on some movies.

Luke 37068 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Cinema mode to the rescue. You can learn more about cinema mode on our wiki: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Cinema-Mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MndWrp 99 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Cinema mode is an awesome feature but it's not quite what i meant.. Basically i want to be able to specify a video to play before another... Example. In my apocalypse now entry i have an intro by the director and i want it to play before the main feature... you can't do that with cinema mode i think? I know i can always remux the files or something but simply linking them would be nice and easy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1918 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 You can get creative to do this. Rename the movie.. movie-name-cd2.mp4. The main part to do is add the -cd2 to the filename of the movie. Now the video you want played before it, movie-name-cd1.mkv. The important part here is name it the exact same as the movie, making sure it has -cd1 at the end. Your mileage may vary, but most clients/apps support multi-part video.

MndWrp 99 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 That's true i hadn't thought of that avenue... ill give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 No, I would not do that because you will find yourself disappointed with multi-file videos. I would use the cinema mode by tags feature which will allow you to associate individually if you want.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 or use a playlist - for the movie and extras and set the order you want them to play in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MndWrp 99 Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I will definitely try the tags option... it seems most like what i was after initially. Thanks people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
