Native playback doesn't work for trailers?

I have Native playback enabled in settings and it works for movies but it doesn't seem to for trailers. I have my trailers stored in the same folder as their corresponding movie. But kodi always says streaming when I play a trailer.

 

Additionally, it takes much, much longer for trailers to start playing than movies. When I click on a movie it's less than a second before playback begins but trailers are like 10-12 seconds before anything starts to play.

 

Both behaviors are consistent across thread different machines. Is there anything that can be done about this?

How are you playing your trailers? An add-on or something?

 

We have no control over playback with the native playback option. Trailers are only supported with add-on playback. It even says it when you setup Emby for Kodi.

I am just going in to Kodi's movie info screen and selecting the trailer button. No addons or anything.

I guess I missed that message on setup. If you can save the native path to the movie file in the Kodi db, couldn't you just do the same for the trailer?

Depends on how Kodi handles things for local trailers. If they are imported or not. I don't believe they are otherwise, they'd show up in your library as content.

 

Seems to me that if playback starts for your trailers, but is very slow, there's nothing we can do. You'd have to post on the official kodi forums to find out how to improve this aspect because it has nothing to do with emby with kodi.

I'd have to double check, but IIRC, in the Kodi Videos db under the movies tables there is a column where Kodi records the path or URL of the trailer associated with a given movie.

Yes and that should already be filled. Can you provide your kodi log?
