Trailer Playback Only

[Schui1024 0]

Hi

 

I did a quick search but couldn't find this asked previously.

 

I have a 20mb upload which is sufficient for a few streams, and also operate a web server to allow downloading of media directly from IIS.

IIS allows me to restrict and limit bandwidth, so generally it's 10mb on IIS and Emby can use as much as it wants.

 

Browsing an entire library (5000+) in IIS is easy enough as the folders are \a \b \c \d etc.. but it's hard to know whats new or available.

 

So I've created a user in Emby that has no playback/download options, so it can at least see what's available, then download via IIS.

I was hoping that the trailers option would still work, as they're streamed from external sources so wouldn't bother me, but choosing Trailer shows "Playback of this content is restricted".

 

Is there any option somewhere that I can allow trailers but not actual content?

 

Maybe a feature request otherwise?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, can you show a screenshot? It might not be coming from us. Some of the internet trailers come from youtube and they could be region blocking.

This is do to the restriction applied to the user.  I think it would be a feature request to allow Trailers playback while restricting the media item itself.

 

 

Tested on a TV series trailer.

Ah yes ok, thanks.

Indeed, Happy2Play is correct.

 

An ideal feature request would be to allow admins to restrict media playback, but still allow trailer playback.

So in the user admin option where we can select user can playback with or without transcoding, and download or not, a sub option to allow trailers would be useful...

 

maybe just for me, i don't know!.. but hey.. it's an idea.
