Okay, I REALLY like the option for trailers and I utilize it to show "Similiar unwatched movies in my library". However as I have more and more movies that are being watched, I won't see the previews for movies that I have already seen. I would like the option "Similar movies in my library", this will be exactly the same as the above option, except that it will not matter if I have seen the movie or not.
Can this be done quickly please??
Thank you
I have not tried it, but isn't that the top option here:
[EDIT] - Are you on the latest PMS (0.9.9.16)?
Um. 0.9.9.16? I show on their website that latest is Version 0.9.9.14.531-7eef8c6, and that is what I have installed. Am I missing something somewhere? And where is that screen that you took a screen grab from?
Where I am looking is the Server -> Settings -> Extras -> Cinema Trailers. The options I have are:
Unwatched movies in my library
Similar unwatched movies in my library
New and Upcoming in Theaters (Plex Pass Only)
New and Upcoming on BluRay (Plex Pass Only).
I feel dumb now, I wasn't looking under Plex Pass Downloads (just public downloads), now downloading 0.9.9.16.

Don't feel dumb - been there, done that, got the t-shirt! Glad you got it sorted out.
Once I updated to the latest version, it works great. Can't believe I missed that. Oh well, live and learn, and it still will not be the last time I do something like this. BTW, my wife LOVES this especially with using this in our home theater room with our home control system, so the lights are automated and dim when the previews start and then shut off when the movie starts. (It also brings the light back on to about 50% when we pause the movie, and slowly ramps the lights up after the movie)
Makes for a really great setup when you add the previews in.
Now if only I could have Plex play my little "Welcome to our home theater clip" prior to playing the previews that would complete the entire setup.

You can play it after the trailers but before the movie. It is called Pre-Roll.
Read about it here:

There are some posts about people making their own, some are pretty good.
Okay that is WAY COOL. I have a few that I would like to use, but I don't always want to use the same one. Too bad there isn't a way to do a random pre-roll from a list of 3-5. That way it is always a surprise which one you are going to get.
early 2021 clean-up: implemented (I think)
