crusher11 1101 Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 If a film has multiple tags matching intro files, does it play all of them or pick one at random?
crusher11 1101 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Posted November 29, 2020 Additionally, if I play a playlist or shuffle a collection, will codec intros be played before each film or only the first?
Carlo 4561 Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Hi, I don't know the answer to this but would think it's pretty easy to test. Just grab any small video and rename it properly as shown in the KB article https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001848833-cinema-intros Pick a movie with the different tags and try renaming for video and audio and then see what plays.
crusher11 1101 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Posted November 30, 2020 I suspect it picks one at random, I'm mostly just asking to make sure I haven't screwed something up. Other than the shuffle issue, in which case I don't really fancy playing through a whole film just to test, if someone actually knows the answer.

Luke 42080 Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 To answer the original question, yes if there are mulitple it will pick a random one.
crusher11 1101 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Posted December 1, 2020 Why not play them all? Wouldn't that make more sense?
crusher11 1101 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Posted December 1, 2020 Is it possible to have the codec intros play without having a trailer play? Cinema Intros refuses to let me set the number of trailers lower than one.

crusher11 1101 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Posted December 2, 2020 But if I set the trailers to zero, it gives me an error and refuses to let me proceed. If I leave the trailers field blank it defaults to two.
Carlo 4561 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Have you tried not enabling it for Movies and Shows?
Carlo 4561 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 I was suggesting to try something like this.
crusher11 1101 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Posted December 2, 2020 Wouldn't that disable everything including codec intros?
Happy2Play 9782 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 I guess the easier question is what are your setting for the plugin?
Carlo 4561 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Don't know haven't tried it as mentioned but half the fun of Emby Admin is playing with feature combinations like this. Easy enough to try.
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 but trying is to easy - oh hang on.... 3
Carlo 4561 Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 I'd have done it myself but don't use have/use intros, just trailers. Guess I could have just copied and named an extra properly and given it a test run but sometimes it's best to just try things yourself as well.
