Ability to play trailers before movie starts is making watching TV closer to the cinema experience. Unfortunately, I’m not using it due to slow internet connection in my area. Waiting for the trailers to load is too frustrating and spoil the movie experience. However, I don’t mind downloading some …

You can. Just use the following settings.

@anon18523487 said: You can. Just use the following settings. Thanks. but it still stream trailers from the Internet. What I requested is to have an option to play only locally available trailers.

Oops sorry. Forgot. That will also include the online trailers for movies in your library if you had that setting on. The only way to currently accomplish this would be to turn off gathering the online trailers and extras from the Freebase agent settings. I do like the idea of there being a sett…

@MovieFan.Plex said: If there was a free repository of trailers, like the metadata agents, that would be a different story. I guess it is time for someone to fill the gap. or perhaps is there any plugins like the subtitle plugins where it can download the SRT file during scanning process?

after do some searching, i realized that The Movie Database does provide trailers in its metadata. It is mostly links to Youtube. I wonder when can the agents in Plex provide options to download the trailers just like in Kodi, http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:The_MovieDB
