I have a 5 second pre-roll I’d love to put before movie with quick info about server outage plans and upcoming titles, I’ve seen there is no built in way to force pre-rolls. Considering they’re receiving my $3k server streams and lifetime pass for completely free as a client I feel this should be a feature to flip on or off for us server admins. It’s not like 5 seconds or even 10 is going to ruin someone’s 2 hour movie experience. Is there a plugin available to get around this? I’ve heard of possible renaming the movies so that they have a CD1/2 or Part1/2 with the Part 1 being the preroll but that would be a ton of work. Also it was mentioned that it might mess up the subtitles synchronization? Anyone played around with this idea? Thanks all!
Plug-ins are no longer supported.
See this request and vote: Force Pre-Roll Vdeos on remote users!
Take a look at Tautulli.
It can send a newsletter listing newly added movies/shows/etc (movies added in last ‘X’ days, etc).
Not exactly what you want, but might get you halfway there.
Thank you so much!
Guys I apologize I didn’t realize pre-rolls now play on all players and clients, I’m very happy to see this change from the posts I read historically a few years ago. This issue is no longer relevant and I didn’t test it before I posted. Thank you again all.
clients may have pre-roll support, but you can’t force them.
the clients can disable them in the preferences.
Sorry Im new here and just got a pass with intenetions on playing a preroll i made for my remote users. Are you saying by default all clients will show the pre roll now?
(i understand they could turn them off in preferences, just hoping its enabled by default)
Thank you.
