tuvx 14 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Are local trailers not supported on the Fire TV? In other words, I have local trailers for all my movies. I thought they would be available on the movie details screen, but I see no option. In the web interface clicking the Trailer button launches a youtube trailer, so confused if I set something up wrong, or if local trailers are pointless with Emby.

ebr 14949 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hi. Yes, the app supports local trailers. However, a YouTube trailer isn't local... A local trailer is one stored in your library with the movie. Please let us know if this answers your question. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuvx 14 Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 No, as stated I have only local trailers. How do you play them on the Fire TV (or even the web interface) as there is no option that I am able to find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neik 837 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Are they named correctly, so that Emby can see them? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Trailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderfulman1 1 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 But it is possible that one should download the inultile trailer in local when they could integrate them in the app as it happens for the browser?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderfulman1 1 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Hi there, can you explain your question a little bit more? I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Thanks ! I'm asking if you could integrate (on Amazon Fire TV stick basic) the opening of an external browser (example silk or firefox) to pass a youtube address to be able to view the trailer online directly. It seems like a simple thing if I think you managed to create a fantastic system and you can not do this and use a mutilated product.

ebr 14949 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Are you able to provide insight to the op question? How do I get my local trailers to play? Hi. Since they don't show up in the web app either, this is most likely due to naming or file organization not matching our requirements. Trailers If you feel you have followed those conventions, then we'll need to look at the details of a specific example. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuvx 14 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 What details would you like? The Trailers button is In the web app, only it always opens YouTube trailers instead of my local. I do not have the Trailers plugin installed, as I thought that would avoid the youtube call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14949 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Trailers button is In the web app, only it always opens YouTube trailers instead of my local. That is an indication that the system is not seeing your local trailers at all. What details would you like? The specific naming and layout of your media files. Screen shots of explorer windows showing the contents of the folders usually is best. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make a change to the APP (paid APP) and avoid unnecessary waste of time. LOL.. then sir, make your own topic if you want it to play internet trailers from youtube within the player or spawned within a browser. The topic of this post is about local trailers and within the androidTV/fireTV applications, nothing more/nothing less. To be so concerned that you can only interrupt others threads and not create your own for the issue shows crass, instead make the topic "Youtube trailers used in apps" or something brah. Disk space usage aside, in my collection it shows I have 9,986 local trailers. Media Companian r0x. Wasted space? Drives are cheap, trailers on the internet come and go, the links to these are NOT up forever. Local trailers last forever.

I agree, and is why I have my own trailers (although I am not anywhere near 10k ). I just want to figure what in my setup is wrong, so I may use them.

The internet isn't available 100% of the time locally. Nor is the bandwidth required always present to provide a non buffering experience for users when used over the itnernets. The internet might give you a 480p trailer, and by golly you want the 1080p. A local trailer is always available (without buffering, without issue) even if the internet hiccups, even if internet bandwidth is all used up on other things, even if...

tuvx 14 Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yes, here is an example: In the folder, the trailer is named as the Movie with the suffix "-trailer": When played (outside of Emby) this is a screenshot from 00:00:07 When the Trailer button is pressed in the web interface this is the loading screen (I assume indicating it is coming from YouTube: Here is the web interface trailer at 00:00:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14949 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 So all your movies are in one folder as opposed to separated to one folder per movie. Anyone else having a problem with local trailers being identified in this scenario? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply trying to help the community. Return from where you came out .... No comment !!! Yeah.. im the troll... derp... herp... de derp... You are posting in a thread about local trailers working on the fireTV and asking for them to play from youtube. In which way does this thread ask for them to play them from youtube? ebr kindly asked you to take it elsewhere earlier. Look at post #10 He(ebr) said thanks. I bet now he doesn't say thanks and just rudely says go somewhere else to you. I did nothing wrong, I am on the side of the OP. Local trailers are important. They belong in the fireTV app working. Now we can move along and be friends. Yay.. I will bake a cake. Maybe we can invite Mario and Princess Peach. Maybe play some Smash Brothers?
