Ytrailers not working?

[dcol 173]

That may be the issue. I had it set to trigger every 2 hours. Changed it to once a day.

But it does seem to retry the same movies that don't have any trailers. Most of these are classic pre-1930 movies. I wish I could select which libraries or folders to check. Ideally I want to only check movies made after 2000. Trailers before that are usually not very good anyway.

Yeah, that'll likely be it.

As for retries, If they don't have a youtube trailer listed against their metadata then it won't do anything and just skip it. 

[dcol 173]

Then maybe for the movies that it is stuck on, I can change the metadata or use a dummy trailer.

[radeon 733]

The only reason it'd be stuck on anything is if a given trailer has been removed for copyright reasons from YouTube or the video isn't available in your country. 

[dcol 173]

So for these, should I just use a dummy trailer, or alter the metadata and then lock it

[radeon 733]

I don't know what you mean by dummy trailer. Just remove the metadata for the did trailer 

[dcol 173]

Probably best to just remove the trailer tag from the nfo or xml. Some movies have an xml and nfo, which does ytrailers look at?

What I meant by dummy trailer is to have a zero byte file like moviename-trailer.mp4

[radeon 733]

Neither, it uses the data stored within your emby stored info in the db. I presume if you delete from the UI of the movie then it'll remove from the corresponding metadata files you uses too. 

[dcol 173]

The trailer data is not in the metadata UI. I just looked at the logs and noticed another error for a trailer that already has a trailer since May for that title. Why would it be trying to fetch a trailer that already exists? Seems to be the same 50 or so videos every day and they all have trailers.

To me that would suggest the database is not updated to show a local trailer vs a online trailer url.

[dcol 173]

Most of these issues are in a different folder organization. I have a folder named Stand Up and within that folder is a folder named Specials. I put all the videos in there as artistname_showname.mp4. All of these have trailers and error every day with ytrailers. Could the way I setup these videos be a reason?

So how do I update the database. Is the UI suppose to show the trailer url?

No it has been requested for the trailer url to be added but has never happened.

To me this would be expected if you are not following expected structure.

[dcol 173]

The structure seems fine, but the file names are unique to other folders such as movies.

What are the recommendations for correct structure? Here is an example how it is setup now

Stand Up>Specials>Jerry Seinfeld_23 Hours to Kill (2020).mp4

Should I use something like this. Seems there would be no Season or Special folder needed for Emby. The library type is Movies.

Stand Up>Jerry Seinfeld>23 Hours to Kill (2020).mp4

or change the library type to TV Shows and then use this for all the videos

Stand Up>Specials>Jerry Seinfeld_23 Hours to Kill (2020).mp4

ytrailers is still not working. Gets errors for every movie it tries.

Here is a sample of the error in the log. I have dozens of them for every new movie.

[radeon 733]

That's not the same error as before. Looks like they've changed their site again. Will need a fix and release. May take a little while for the fix to be released, just bear with me for a little.

By the way, @radeon I just realized the YTrailer key appears in the log, which I have posted many times for diagnostic purposes. I am sure it has been circulated by now. Do I need a new one maybe?

It's tied to your instance and can't be used again

What do you consider 'instance' I plan to change the OS on that system from Windows server to Windows 10 and copy Emby back to it this month. Same hardware. Will the key still work?

[plaidstallion 9]

Any update on this?

[radeon 733]

Fraid not. I'm waiting on a update to the youtube lib used to generate the download link. As soon as that's done, I'll be able to release.

[plaidstallion 9]

Are the updates to this extension automatic or do they require going to the site and downloading the latest version?

[dcol 173]

Until this gets resolved I have to disable ytrailers because of all the errors it creates. I assume the best way to do this is to delete the ytrailer scheduled task. Is this the best way to disable it, or do I need to remove the plugin?

[radeon 733]

New version just uploaded. 

You'll have to download and install manually from https://www.ballingtons.com/products/

[dcol 173]

Thanks, replaced the dll with the new one.

Did notice that ytrailers throws an error when trailer is not available now. Is that normal? Here is an example
