Currently we can either choose to play all of the pre-rolls sequentially or one randomly. I would like to see an option to play multiple random pre-rolls and in particular one from each set pre-roll groupings . I have a set of pre-rolls I have created with my own branding and I have a set with Plex branding. Right now they are all in one grouping and play randomly. So the user see’s either my personally branded pre-roll or a Plex branded pre-roll. It would be nice if I could create a group of personally branded pre-rolls and a group of Plex branded pre-rolls and have plex choose one from each group to play randomly.
One way this could be accomplished is to allow a combination of comma and semicolon separated videos. So something like this where a comma separates the two groups.
I just discovered this feature! Love it! Would love to have random pre-roll. Could be as simple as referencing a folder of videos instead of a single file! Please also enable for TV SHOWS
A folder should be used for a random file within it.
Separate a list of folders and you got the feature.
I am willing to contribute to the code if possible.
That is the kind of features you should open to the community, allowing us to improve your product for free.
When you edit your videos (clicking the ). You have General, Tags, Sharing, Poster, Background, Info, Advanced, could a Pre Roll option be added to this menu, so you can have a different pre roll for each movie if you wish?
I would like to add the cinema pre rolls / idents to each movie so if I was watching Sceam VI for example I’d use this as a pre roll,
If I’m watching an older movie like turtles, this would play
I’d place them all in a folder on my nas then if the option was available I’d assign the right pre roll to its matching movie. I just love the idea of having the pre roll that existed with that movie in the cinema playing pre film, there are a lot on YouTube taken from the original reels obviously the older ones aren’t as crisp, but I think it’s adds to the experience.
