Question about file names


Recommended Posts

Posted

I create a "trailer" from a movie to test the emby server.  I read the information here

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie%20naming

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Trailers.

 

but I cant seem to get it to work. Here is the folder structure I'm using:

 

/Movies
    /Les Miserables (2012)
        /trailers
            Suddenly It's Begun.avi
 

In Metadata Manager it shows "Les Miserables (2012)" but it doesn't seem to recognize the trailers folder or the file in it.

 

What am I missing.

The trailer needs to be called trailer.avi in the trailers folder.

 

You can store them in the movie folder itself, but give it a suffix of "-trailer", such as:

 

Les Miserable (2012)-trailer.avi

I tried renaming the file to trailers.avi but emby still just ignored it.

 

I moved the file to the "Les Miserables (2012)" folder and name it :Les Miserables (2012)-trailer.avi" and emby finally recognized it but it show up  with the title "Wolverine vs. Gladiator in: Les Miserables" as a movie not a trailer.

 

I can change it's title in the Metadata Manager but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it to a trailer.

 

Emby seem to ignor the trailers folder altogether.  Is there something in the emby configuration that I need to set for the trailers folder to be recognized?

what content type did you select when you added the emby library?

For the /Movies folder, as you would expect, the type is movies.
