web client trailers tab in movies

[techywarrior 688]

I'm not sure I understand the Trailers tab in the Movie view in the web client. What is the intention? Because the way it is now seems to be pretty pointless.

 

It would make sense if it showed all the trailers you had for all your movies/tv series or something like that but I have 700 movies and there are something like 1700 trailers listed in that tab.

 

I DO NOT have the movie trailer archive enabled in the Trailers plugin (if that is where these are coming from).

 

So, in my mind, either there is a bug or the logic for that tab escapes me. If it is behaving as intended would it be possible to add an option to remove that tab?

 

Ideally I think it would be cool if that tab showed all your actual media's trailers. The trailer plugin has new movies, Netflix, etc. trailers but this would be a single place for all the trailers for movies/tv that you have. (so you could watch some trailers and decide what to watch without having to go into each movie individually).

lol, I just saw an update for the Trailers plugin and now it only has 200 trailers. I guess this fixed the trailer archive bug.

 

I still don't understand exactly what the tab does because there are still trailers for movies I don't have.

I believe it is only showing trailers from the Trailers Channel, not your local ones.

That still seems rather odd don't you think? I guess I understand now why it's there; people probably wanted it there since they had it in the past. But to me it seems like a lot of flip flopping with trailers recently.

 

If there is real desire for the tab to be in the Movie section of the web client could it be an option? Or at least if we want New Releases, Netflix, DVD/BD? I don't have Netflix so why would I want to see trailers of movies I have no way of watching displayed? etc.
