Local trailers folder

[chowbok 77]

It'd be nice if there were a way to have a folder with trailers that weren't connected to a movie in your library. I have some trailers for movies that weren't produced, parody trailers, etc., and I'd like them to be shuffled along with the trailers included in folder directories.

How would they be shuffled? Can't you just setup a home videos library and shuffle them?

Well, no, because I want them to play before movies just like regular trailers. Basically I want it to randomly pick a trailer from one of the "legit" trailers in a movie directory or a trailer from this special directory. 

 

Maybe the simplest way to implement this would be to include an additional line for a directory containing local trailers in the config for the trailers plugin. Does that make sense?

Can't you set them up as a custom intro?

I already have custom intros, though. If I do that, then when it picks one of my "non-aligned" trailers, I'll have two trailers in a row and no regular custom intro. Plus I have a lot more trailers than intros, so it'll show those non-aligned trailers way too often compared to the other trailers.
