Can we now have a DTS or DD video play before each movie?

[Warmongerx]

I want to do 3 things here:

1) Give a COLOSSAL thanks to the Plex guys for the latest Trailer and pre-roll implementation.  My suggestions (and others') regarding improving the experience were so promptly and awesomely implemented.  I am absolutely over the moon.

2) Echo the sentiments above -- have the ability to use a DTS (or DTS-MA) intro for DTS movies, a DD or TrueHD intro for DD films, etc.  Things like a THX intro would be more complex, as it wouldn't relate to the media info.

3) Ask that we be able to at least vary the pre-roll video.  Having one pre-roll vid would get old quickly.  Essentially, do something similar to what was done here.

Or you could create your own custom intro and incorporate whatever you want. There's a thread about it here.

I feel like a moron here.. but the support article (and you) mention to go to the detail page. What is the detail page? Is it the main page when you open a video that allows to mark watched/unwatched, fix incorrect match, etc? or Is it the info section of that file?
 
My point is there's nothing clearly labeled "details"

In Plexweb simply Copy the web address that shows up when you click on your your preroll video and paste that into the preroll window in the extras

That's certainly another option (one that some of us have no interest in :D ).

Thanks for the link, though.  Maybe I'll try some of that stuff someday.

Edit -- noticed that this was already referenced above.

these are detail pages for individual videos

I found trailers for my movies, nice! :)

I try to find this text box to paste the url for an intro, but I can’t find it anywhere. The only setting I have in Settings -> server -> Extras is Cinema Trailers. Nothing as on the screen dump in the blog post or support document. Nothing happens if I press the "show advanced" button.

Mac server version 0.9.9.14, Plex pass member.

 

Screen dump attached.

Ideas?

You need at least 0.9.9.15 for the "Pre Roll" feature. Might as well go to 0.9.9.16.

Oh. Thanks. Will try.

But now I get another question... I ran the software update and it said it was the newest. and on the download on the website its 0.9.9.14. Is Plex pass members gettings more updates? updates earlier? Is auto software update useless for Plex Pass subscribers?

We're looking to improve software update for everyone (think of the Chrome experience).

For now, however, if you want Plex Pass releases, you'll need to download them manually.

you need to click the "Plex Pass Downloads" button first to see the Plex Pass downloads

Love the new pre-roll implementation but I would love to see it where you can use it without trailers on also specify a DIR and it uses it as a Juke-box whenever u play a movie it plays a file at random in the Dir before the movie

Also make it a forced option on the server :)

[BigWheel]

uncheck all of these on the server and in the players set the the number of trailers to 1 and it will only play the pre-roll if it is set.

( they have already stated they will never make it so you can force the preroll )
