Cinema Intros - Only trailers of unwatched local movies

[mrmanuel 6]

Hello,

I'm quite new to Emby and I'm searching for a function I had with Plex. I would like to show one or more trailers of unwatched movies in my database. I have no trailers offline, so they need to be fetched from an online source. Currently I was not able to achieve this. There are always trailers from movies that I don't have in my database.

Also are the trailers not matching the selected default language.

I have an Emby-Premiere-License.

MM,

It works fine when you use subdirectory Trailers in each media directory and rescan the libraries.  
https://emby.media/support/articles/Trailers.html

Have you noticed also there is a Custom intros path directory?
There is also a codec intro path that allows you to add a Feature Presentation type short video just prior to playing the feature.

• I have 2 videos from a large selection of 720P trailers all in different sub directories 'Trailers' for many media.  I would suggest you go no larger then 720P.
• Then I have mixed newer unreleased trailers and some fun ads in the Custom Intros path directory.
• And I have one codec intro for h264.mp4 in the Codec Intro Path.

Be aware that all trailers with this plugin do not show the correct name of the trailer in the player's lower left.  The only way around this, at the moment, is to start the trailer name with a dash and do not include any other parathentical, dashes or tildes in the name.

This trailer name works: 
- A Long Way From Home trailer 2013.mp4

If you don't start the filename with a dash, the player will just show a title: 'trailer 2013'

HI, have you installed the Trailer plugin?

[mrmanuel 6]

Yes, if you mean the "Trailers" plugin, then yes. I also have installed "Cinema Intros".

I don't have any trailers physically on my disks. With Plex the trailers where fetched  from an online source and automatically shown, no need to download anything.

That feature was very cool, since it makes you taste unwatched movies that you have.

@mrmanuelyes I agree that would be a good thing to add. In the meantime, our Cinema Intros feature may not have that exact option, but it does have many others:

Cinema Intros

Some of them work in conjunction with the trailers plugin, so with the trailers plugin installed, that will give Cinema Intros more options to choose from.
