trailers unavailable in home videos folder type?

hey guys, i have a sports folder that i classified as home videos and it has different sports as subfolders, and seasons with games and other videos inside each of those. some of the games i have "trailers" i want to use (usually, pre and post game), but MB doesn't seem to be recognizing them at all. what is the best way to fix this?

I would suggest you just make them videos like the others and put them in a folder of their own.

 

is that the only way to do it? i'd rather use them as trailers if possible because a) i don't have any metadata/images for them and B) they would only be watched in conjunction with the actual game, so i'd rather keep them together.

I don't think Home Videos can have trailers.  It just isn't something we recognize.

 

You could also try making them movies and just lock the metadata so that it doesn't go try to match them up with something.

I am a little afraid of changing the whole parent folder - what else could this affect?

Well, with the new server you can define content types further down the hierarchy so maybe you could create a sub-folder with just the items you want treated this way.

trailers are currently not supported with home videos. it's something that could be considered in the future.

trying to change a folder inside a library from home videos (inherited from parent folder) to videos so that trailers will show up

the main folder needs to use the unset content type. you can't have home videos as the parent and then override underneath that.

okay i changed those folders to movies and now the trailers are working. however, now the advanced intros plugin is kicking in on me and i don't want it in there.

 

@@ebr - is there any way to set the plugin to ignore a directory?

Sorry, not at this time.  You can use the quick play technique in MBC (play from a list instead of detail page) to bypass intros.
