Hello,
Currently we can configure trailers by indicating a full path to the file.
Random playback exists but only if we indicate each file.
The idea would be to add the ability to point to a folder.
When launching a movie plex would choose a video file available in this folder to play it.
the user would only have to provide his file in trailers regularly if he wishes.
we could even do the cumulation of functions:
āA file path; path to a folderā.
By default it would only play one video file but we could consider a way to tell it how many videos to play
A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.
I would like to be able to have a āTrailersā folder (like when I select folders for movies, tv shows, etc.), and have the Plex Server pull local trailers randomly from that folder, instead of having to make an extras subfolders for each movie and placing each trailer in each movieās subfolder. This way I could add trailers from Apple or other sites for old/current/upcoming movies that I donāt own, and have them play before my movies (asi I donāt have a fast internet connection, so streaming thrā¦
I originally requested this in August 2014 I believeā¦ I am revisiting to see if there has been a solution, update or even a third party app that will allow MY OWN LOCAL TRAILERS instead of downloaded versions. I have hundreds of cartoon shorts I would like to use INSTEAD of movie trailersā¦
Four years later there still isnāt an option (As Far as I Know) to accomplish thisā¦
Keep it simple for nowā¦ Assign folder hierarchy for local trailersā¦ Name them properly and have plex software play them ā¦
