They’re dumb, but in a fun way. I created my own preroll video with some music and a silly title card. For me it’s a fun way of celebrating the work I put into my setup (again – I use a very dumb video), but also Plex’s preroll logic alludes me. It doesn’t run all the time.

Mostly, however, I have trailers play ahead of my movie. It’s a good way of remembering what else is on my server.

edit: also why, for the love of god, does Plex not pre-buffer the movie during either pre-roll or trailers? It makes no sense!

Nice!!

These are awesome! Thank-you. Is there a way to download these from Peertube?

Yup, a pre-roll is a short clip of your choice that you can play before movies/shows. It doesn’t use internet sources and you just point it to a video on your server.

Agreed, I’ve never really explored it. I have a domain with a theme that I could carry into a custom branded pre roll. I’m assuming this would play for a few seconds before every file. But I’m not sure that I would want to subject my family to those extra seconds hah

There is some information on the Plex support pages. Just be careful when building the directory name. It’s kinda picky
