How do I disable trailers in the Android/Fire TV Emby app?

Hi, I have Emby set up at home so that 2 trailers play before every movie. On my server (Windows), this option is visible under Playback settings.

However, on the Android/Fire TV version of Emby (Firestick 4K), I cannot find any setting to disable or change the “Play trailers before movies” feature.

I need to know:

  • Does the Android/Fire TV Emby app support disabling trailers?

  • If so, where is the setting located?

  • If not, is this feature server‑side only and the Fire TV app simply follows whatever the server is configured to do?

Right now, trailers always play before movies on the Firestick, and I want to turn them off.

Thanks.

I thought the trailer pre-play preference was set by admin on the server and then all users get the trailers in all the same way.  I have not seen an user individual preference setting.  So,  I think the answer is, as admin, change the trailer preference to 0 and no one will get trailers.  If the same trailers appear all the time, I think that is because you only have a couple of trailer media files in trailers subdirectories for media or it could be that you only have a couple of trailers in the preview directory assigned with the admin controls.  Add more trailers media files to stop only the two same trailers appearing.

Settings>Playback tab, untick "Enable Cinema Intros".

Yes but I want trailers & so do some other users, but some can't stand them being there & having to go next & move straight over to the movie - also I now have a user who is foreign & she has all movies filtered to her language but seeing trailers for movies she can't watch is rather annoying for her & also I would say another problem for her & me as admin is there is no way to filter tv shows by subtitle only the episodes so I have a separate folder for her & if I know a whole tv show has her subtitles the whole way through I add that tv show to her folder & add that folder to the original tv show folder so everyone else who can speak English can see it

Thank you GrimReaper - I never seen that 

Another problem for my foreign User & me as admin is there is no way to filter tv shows by subtitle only the episodes so I have a separate folder for her & if I know a whole tv show has her subtitles the whole way through I add that tv show to her folder & add that folder to the original tv show folder so everyone else who can speak English can see

Is there a way around this I don't know about or should I mark this as solved an open another post
