I’d love to see a dedicated ‘Trailers mode’. I know you can get trailers to play before a movie, but that doesn’t seem a useful time to show them - I’ve already picked what I want to watch! The only time I actually want to watch trailers, is when I’ve decided I want to watch a movie, but haven’t chosen a movie to watch. I’m sure we’ve all turned the TV on, and sat there endlessly scrolling through a list of thumbnails looking for something tempting. Thumbnails do a terrible job of enticing me to watch something - trailers are far more effective and enjoyable! So I would click ‘Trailer mode’ and it would just start showing trailers at random of any unwatched movies and I would one click options to either skip to the next trailer or play that film. Even better would be if I could do some filtering and _then_ hit Trailer mode, and it would just show trailers for movies meeting those criteria. It feels like it wouldn’t be too hard to implement, as most of the hard work is already done. Please hit VOTE if you agree! ---

I don’t use prerolls, and I almost never watch trailers within Plex, because once I open Plex, I already know what I want to watch. Mostly. But I _love_ trailers. I’d watch the “All Trailers, All The Time” channel all day long. This is a clever suggestion. ---

There’s already a number of suggestions on how to provide different trailer modes. Maybe it might be better to vote/comment in those instead of creating duplicates (which will in turn result in votes being distracted/dispersed). There’s no value in having more of the same suggestions. > [@Just/endless trailers button](https://forums.plex.tv/t/just-endless-trailers-button/125636): > > We have a several people who love trailers. Sometimes they’d just love to watch a bunch without loading a movie. Plex has such a great trailers feature, it’d be great to have a function somewhere where you could just set it going playing trailers. There could be a number of ways to implement this… it’d probably be something after going into a “Movies” library, or it could be on the home screen… I don’t really have a strong preference on how to get to it, as long as it’s not 10 clicks deep.

Dammit, I even _searched_. Apparently I searched poorly. ---

To be fair… that’s one of the reasons I’m currently chasing after all those redundant suggestions. Right now it can often be like searching the infamous needle in a hay stack 😉 ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Button to play random trailers for all movies in library](https://forums.plex.tv/t/button-to-play-random-trailers-for-all-movies-in-library/331518): > > To help viewers decide what to watch… When viewing a library, it’d be useful to have a “Watch Trailers” button (in the upper right near “Shuffle”) which will play random trailers for all of the movies/shows in that library one after another. Skipping forward would play the next random trailer. We’d use this feature whenever we cant decide what to watch, ie every night! ---
