Good morning,

Just wanting to make sure I understand how local trailers work. i would prefer to only have trailers for movies in my library. i have them in the Trailers folder and i have settings set only to Content and scrape only preshow trailer folder. But it will seem to play random movie trailers from the folder even though i have genre match turned on. I have created NFOs for all the movie trailers in the folder.
For example, Frozen would bring up a trailer for True Grit (2010). sort of was hoping for another kid friendly trailer more akin to Frozen. Like maybe Moana or something.

i think i might create sub folders as a last resort, but i was just wanting to make sure i understood how it pulls and the best way it can pull appropriate movie trailers.

Thank you!

The folder for local trailer files does not scan nfo files. The genre match is only for online or kodi trailers.

It's been a while since I've done anything with it, but I think it is set up to use genres for local trailers that are set with tinyMediaManager. It seemed at the time that people that used static local trailers all used that to integrate their files in kodi and it was a better solution that having them set it up again in PreShow.

I think that most people that use the PreShow trailers folder have some other method for maintaining their files and don't leave them in there forever.

The beta versions of PreShow have more dynamic content options, and while there isn't currently an option for the trailers folder, there could be a simple workaround for it.

The current, and complicated, way to do it entirely inside of PreShow would be to set up folders for the ratings and then set multiple sequences with conditions for the ratings.

Let me know if that makes sense and if I can do anything to explain further or help you out with your current configuration.

Thank you! This app has made movies so much better!
