audio_elf 2 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 So ... quite often now movies (and tv shows) are coming out on DVD with an "introduction". How about allowing us to mark a file as a movie "introduction" to be (optionally) played before the main feature. For example I have just ripped the Special Edition DVD of Interview with the Vampire, it comes with an introduction. If I could (for eg) store the introduction as "Interview with the Vampire (1984) - Introduction.mkv" along side "Interview with the Vampire (1984) - Special Edition DVD.mkv" ... it would be cool if Emby would pop up when I click to play the movie "Would you like to view the introduction?" Hopefully this feature request has not already been made ... thank you! Eloise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14863 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi. We already have a feature that can do this. Please see: Cinema Intros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funwithmedia 350 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I might be mistaken, but it sounds like Cinema Intros is more of a global feature for randomly selecting content to play before a movie. It sounds to me like @@audio_elf is asking for a new type of Extra ( https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie-naming#movie-extras ), called "Introductions", which would be specific to a given movie, and which would have special functionality of there being an option to play the movie with Introduction(s). If what I've just written is correct, I do think this could be a nifty feature addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or - this would require duplicating the movie which may not be desired - you could create a version of the movie with the introduction and one without and user our multi-version feature to select which one.
