I don’t think I’ve seen this. I did search, promise! Wouldn’t it be great if whilst during a Preroll the Plex client is buffering the main title bring requested? Would make the Preroll have an extra function and would reduce the ‘buffering’ which so greatly annoys people :grinning: I mount a cloud…

Just to show how much this is wanted and would be apreciated! DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT! Thank you in advance ;)!

Please devs, this feature would be great.

Yes, please do this, with something like: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/gs3ldd/my_new_sleek_quick_minimal_plex_preroll_4k_and/ Then some of that buffer time would be “hidden” to viewers.

Plex Pre-rolls are rather useless. Nice if you want that little extra bit of advertising-ish or a cool intro… But loading a pre-roll video of 5 seconds, just to then wait for it to finish AND THEN load the actual video we’re here for is a bit of a waste… Should be Load Pre-Roll > Upon pre roll play…

I want this more than almost any other feature it would just give the watching experience a more “professional” feel having as few buffering points as possible. This would get even closer to the “Personal Netflix” feel I brag about to all my friends.

I’d love to see this implemented as well, pre-buffering when preroll plays. This will give preroll a clever use

Has anyone heard anything from the Devs about if this is something they will try to implement? I’ve seen posts as old as 2018 talking about this but can’t find any real answer if we will ever get this? Please for the love of God give us this Feature!!! 2020 has been a pretty ■■■■ year andthis would…

why do we treat prerolls like videos. it shows me useless preroll title and ability to fast forward and backward. preroll is just a lazy programming trick to add it to a playlist instead of baking it properly for a seamless transition.

Pleas add this! pre-roll’s are cool, but pointless if you have pregnant pause afterwords.
