Play All button in library with tags/cinema intros

[StuBailey 41]

I have one library which all are movies making double features using tags with cinema intros. If you play and individual track/item all trailers etc play fine and then exits to the emby screen as it should. Now if you use the play all button in the "movies display screen" or the play all button in the "playlist display screen" it also plays all the trailers and stuff, and when the main feature is done it moves on to track/item 2 but now skips over all the trailers and stuff and goes right to the main feature.. and continues all remaining tracks while skipping to the main feature. And this is while playing on the web server. Pretty much the same on roku or firestick.

This also seems to be causing radio silence.

Hi.  This is by design.  Cinema intros only play at the start of the playback session.

interesting because hitting the play button on playlist page instead of the individual track always used to skip the intros, but now it plays the first one so it looked liked that was worked on and I thought someone hastily figured it works... In the case of "by design" don't you think something should be done so a user doesn't expect what won't work? Emby should do a detection or something and then display the play all button accordingly - actually the roku app says play all and the server says play - bit it still gives one the wrong impression in my case... I'm not dying for all to play but the button makes one think so... And I think it's a good idea also - a user option. But no biggie because the plan was for viewers be watch on chapter per week and be able to easily see where that left off for the following week. 

 

The radio is working again

and the roku app skips all the intros even from the first track.. Maybe the web server always played the first one...

of the selected movie. The others in the list should not count. In fact, a playlist is a pointer to the actual file but you get different results by clicking the actual file vs this pointer. And all of this is from using the tools supplied and not some file hack.

OK, I guess back when we built cinema intros, this scenario wasn't accounted for, meaning the possibility of playing multiple movies back to back. That's something that would need to be looked at.
