Trailers Ads?

[ASMITH84 1]

Hello Guys,

For a long time, I couldn't use the "Trailers" add-on on my LG TV because, like others, it didn't work (No compatible streams are currently available.   Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details.). A few days ago, an update (v. 1.0.49) was released, and since I sometimes visit this forum, I saw that this bug had been fixed. I turned on the add-on before watching movies and saw that it was finally working, with trailers coming in properly and in good quality.
However, my problem is that there are ads (YouTube ads) before almost every trailer. Is this normal? You can't even skip them. Is there a way to turn off the ads? They are extremely annoying. I have a YouTube Premium subscription, so if this is how it is and will remain, it would be nice if Emby could be linked to my YouTube account. As it stands, the ads are so annoying that I have to turn off the plugin again.

I have a synology DS718+ nas with emby 4.9.1.90

I made a video about this issue. I use Emby in Hungarian, but I hope you can still see the point.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, this isn't normal. At least I haven't seen it before. We'll look into what options we have to stop it from happening. Thanks.

This trailer is from One Media owned by Box office network in Los Angeles.

They have turned on ads for all their trailers.  When I click on any of their trailers it goes straight to an ad.

If you do not wish to have such ads, you would need to manually change each Youtube URL to another distributor or small private youtube reviewer, who does not use ads.  This can be done for the trailer button inside each .nfo file fo each media, if you have .nfo files turned on to be in the media directories.  I believe that trying to eliminate One Media trailers from the search results that get added to the .nfo file is not a possible search parameter.  This is limited by Youtube and can probably not be changed from outside code.  In other words, I don't believe this can be fixed to eliminate a particular trailer source inside Youtube.  This issue is a choice that Youtube made.  Any member of youtube can adjust their trailer preferences at any time, so even if you manually change all URL links to no longer point to One Media, the new links can change to start with an ad, based on the video owner's choice at any time.

If you really wish to avoid ad in trailers, you need to currate your own trailer collection and put a matching trailer file in each media subdirectory called trailers.

I hope that makes sense.

Is this client related? 

As I have yet to see an ad playing trailers directly or via Cinema Intros on my clients.  Even with that trailer specific.

Happy, WA state might pull different Youtube videos than an user in Hungary.  One Media HD trailers might choose different ad policies for different countries.  All the ads in the mov sample ae in Hungarian and every trailer video I ran inside One Media's account went to a US ad first.  I think it may mean that your trailer URL selections could be different Asmith.  Just guessing here.
