I love the plex pass extras automagically added to my movies - but what I cannot stand is the inconsistent quality of the trailers - often being 30p, causing my projector to spend 10 seconds switching refresh rates during pre-roll cinema mode after each trailer.
I would love an option to filter OUT trailers from the plex pass metadata fetching - much like the setting you already have to skip everything except for those trailers.
Sometimes you get some really gnarly trailers for older movies - and the frame rate of the content causes everything to come to a screeching halt while the refresh rate of my projector changes from 24hz to 30hz or 60hz depending on some of the trailers being pulled.
If you don’t wanna see pre-movie trailers on this particular device, then set the number of automatically played pre-movie trailers on this particular client to 0.
No need to disable the trailers for all your clients when only one of them has a problem.

That isn’t my problem. I enjoy the cinema trailer feature - but I have manually downloaded and curated (high quality) movie trailers. My goal is not to disable trailers - it’s to be able to disable playback (or fetching) of the trailers via the plex pass extras - and still keep the behind the scenes footage and such.
At this time I have disabled all of the plex pass extras, as the trailers were ruining it for me. I want trailers - but only my trailers - and there is no such filter on the cinema trailers settings to filter out any trailers accessed via the plex pass. (Only to add in even MORE trailers from plex pass for theatrical and upcoming releases).
So if you catch my drift - my current solution is to turn off all plex pass extras, even though I happen to like the behind the scenes content that gets downloaded. It’s embarrassing to start a movie and have a few good trailers from your library play and then everything goes wonky and a crummy 30fps trailer streams in from the internet.
Got it. It’s kinda very specific.
