What is the difference between the "Cinema Intros" and "Trailers" plugins?

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me sort this out. Here's the chronology:

1. Installed the 'Trailers' plugin, immediately causing all kinds of havoc, including getting stuck on a never-ending loop of trailers when playing any movie in my library
2. Having no other choice, I uninstalled the new plugin & restarted my server
3. I then noticed trailers playing anyway, though not every time (TBH I don't recall the exact circumstances under which that happened, and am of course unable to replicate it now for this example). I do still see the 'Trailers' option next to 'Movies' & 'Suggestions', leading me to a 'No Trailers Found' message urging me to install the Trailer plugin from the catalog.
4. I noticed an option for 'Cinema Intros' under the 'Server' menu in the main dashboard, the settings for which seemed to exactly the same as the offending plugin I'd just removed, though under the alternate heading, 'Cinema Intros'. Further adding to the confusion, these settings include a disclaimer noting 'These features require an active Emby Premiere subscription and installation of the Trailer channel plugin.'

Despite having the same settings, 'Cinema Intros' seems not to do much of anything at all, while 'Trailers' causes the infinite trailer loop along with repeated crashing of the entire app, sometimes even requiring a full reboot of the computer running Emby Server. I'm assuming the 'Trailer channel plugin' the 'Cinema Intros' settings is asking me to install is the one that causes trouble, but it also seems like the 2 plugins are supposed to be installed together.

1. Are these 2 plugins the exact same thing, just with different labels?

2. What does 'Cinema Intros' supposed to do on its own, and is it worth keeping if I'm unable to install 'Trailers'?

Thank you!

The trailers plug-in is what imports public trailers into your Emby System.

The Cinema Intros plug-in is an internal plug-in that provides the Cinema Intros logic/functionality (the automatic playback of trailers and intros before items).
