Hey Guys -

Quick question. My PMS is the latest version for Windows (PlexPass) and I keep my media’s naming and metadata as perfect as possible as I run it though scanners before adding it to the library paths. This includes downloading trailers for each title and naming them the same filename as the movie, but adding “-trailer” to the end.

When using Plex via web browser or a mobile app, I hardly ever see the option to play the trailer for the movie. (To be clear, I’m talking about the trailer for the movie in my library - not random trailers before a movie plays.

I read documentation and also tried adding a folder named “Trailers” inside a couple of movie folders, copying the trailer to it, and renaming it simply to “Trailer1”. A full library update later and still no go. A while back I switched over to using the MediaCenterMaster agent for Movies to try to fix it (as I also scrape my movies with the same app), but it didn’t help either. It’s not that the trailer doesn’t play - there’s no option to view it whatsoever.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

This will only work if:

- each movie has its own subfolder
- the trailer is located in this very subfolder, together with its “main” movie
- there are not several movies (or ‘versions’ of movies) together in the same folder
- the ‘Local Media Assets’ agent must be active

Media Center Master is a 3rd party agent and was not tested and will probably not support this at all.

Please post the [Plex XML info](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201998867-Investigate-Media-Information-and-Formats "Plex XML info") of a movie and a list of all the files in its folder.

Well, I only switched to the MCM agent since I wasn’t getting them with the default agents either. I also meet all of the criteria listed.

Below is what you requested for a single title:

Movie: The Shining (1980)  
Path to Movie’s Folder: D:- Media -\Movies\Shining, The [1980] 1080p  
Plex XML: Below is a screenshot with the actual text saved to the attached file. I’ve also attached the movie’s nfo and xml file listed below  
 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/0/f/0fcb2f5e3a2eeecae87a34aa34c540e6fec4de6c.jpg)

Folder contents:

- backdrop1.jpg
- backdrop10.jpg
- backdrop11.jpg
- backdrop12.jpg
- backdrop13.jpg
- backdrop2.jpg
- backdrop3.jpg
- backdrop4.jpg
- backdrop5.jpg
- backdrop6.jpg
- backdrop7.jpg
- backdrop8.jpg
- backdrop9.jpg
- banner.jpg
- clearart.png
- disc.png
- fanart.jpg
- folder.jpg
- logo.png
- movie.nfo
- movie.xml
- poster.jpg
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p.mkv
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p.nfo
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p.srt
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p.tbn
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p\_mkv\_JRSidecar.xml
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p-fanart.jpg
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p-trailer.mp4
- Shining, The [1980] 1080p-trailer\_mp4\_JRSidecar.xml

I can switch back from MCM’s agent, but my library is massive as I have half a drive dedicated to just my Plex DB. Would it just be better to rebuild the libraries completely instead?

Thanks

Yes, this movie is matched with the MCM agent.  
I honestly think Local Media Assets won’t work as described with this agent.

If you really want to convert to the Plex default agent, I recommend you to:

- put the release year into regular parentheses `( )`, not angular brackets `[]`
- don’t butcher the movie title: `The Shining (1980) - 1080p.mkv`
