Trailers - Kodi Database

Posted

Would it be possible for PSE to scrape Kodi video sources for local trailers, instead of relying on the trailer folder in the content path?

Over the years, I accumulated dozens of movie trailers with uncompressed HD audio that are saved in the corresponding movie folders, e.g.:

Dune Part Two (2024)

Dune Part Two (2024)-trailer

Kodi automatically picks these up when I play trailers from the movie information screen.

It would be awesome if I could tap into my existing collection without needing to manually copy them into the content path, also considering that doing so would double my storage requirements.

Go into the PreShow settings and then to the trailers category.  Enable Kodi Database (YouTube). This pulls whatever info Kodi has for the movie, which for most people will be YouTube links.  If you have local files it will scan those.  Then make sure you go to the general tab and rescan your content.  

Next edit your sequence and edit the trailer module.  You want the source to be content and the scraper to be Kodi Database.

Let me know if that works for you.
