I would like to see the option of having a "collection" of pre-rolls which Plex would select from randomly. I, for instance, have a directory full of classic "feature presentation" type videos and would love to have one selected every time I start a movie rather than changing it myself when I get bo…

I'd actually like to see this PreRoll Collection be able to be populated from latest unwatched videos post to certain news blogs (thinking IGN Daily Fix or Minute Physics here)... But only for TV shows, to get that free to air feel without the crap associated with free to air... Would be pretty cool…

Yeah, I suppose your right on that count... Just checked out that thread... Awesome feature request... Displayed my support for it... Not sure how enjoyable I'd find PreRoll of this nature in front of movies, as I believe trailers hits the nail on the head... That said it'd be great to have to opti…

Possibly. I had a feature request in for TV trailers but there didn't seem to be much interest ( https://forums.plex.tv/topic/120381-tv-trailers/ ). I suppose TV pre-roll is a seperate thing though. I don't see a request for that as yet.

[image] michaelt24: here. Mine suggests that instead of filenames, to insert a directory where the files are located. That’s what it says in the first post above. It also uses the word ‘collection’ in the literal sense, not the technical sense of the Plex ‘collections’ feature.

If that’s the case, it’s not super clear hence why I created my post. I saw this post before. For those following along, this feature suggestion is related to using a directory rather than filenames. Similar to how Emby manages it.

Whatever you call it, I think it would be great if you could point the preroll setting to a folder, one would be randomly selected. As many great prerolls have been created, I can’t keep track of the long string in the setting.

@OttoKerner Thanks for closing my suggestion. I’d like to re-iterate that my suggestion is unrelated to Plex collections as mentioned here. Mine suggests that instead of filenames, to insert a directory where the files are located. This suggestion relates to collections, not directories.
