Karellen: Initial creation

2019-08-27T10:22:15Z

Initial creation

New page

{{mininav|[[Video library]]|[[Video_management|Video management]] }}

= Introduction =
<section begin="intro" />Trailers can be scanned or scraped into the library along with the movie metadata and artwork. Watch the trailers independently or specialised add-ons can be used to re-create the cinema experience by playing trailers before viewing a movie. <section end="intro" />

Only one trailer per movie can be added to the library. If you have multiple trailers, consider using one of the '''''[[Extras]]''''' add-ons.

= Movies =
Movie trailers can be added to {{kodi}} using one of the following methods.

== Scrape Online ==
The {{kodi}} scrapers can scrape trailers if the setting is enabled in the scraper settings page. As always, when changing scraper settings on an existing Source ensure the settings are adjusted via '''Change content''' in the '''''[[Basic_controls#Context_Menu|Context Menu]]''''' for the Source.

The scraper will not download the trailer video file, instead the link to the trailer at YouTube is downloaded. The YouTube add-on and an internet connection will be required to view the trailer.

:'''''See: [[Add-on:The Movie Database]]'''''

== Scan Local ==
Trailers can be saved locally which can then be scanned into {{kodi}}.

*Trailers must be in place before scanning/scraping the movie into the library. If the trailer is added after the movie has been added to the library, then a '''''[[Updating_or_removing_videos#Refresh_Library|Refresh]]''''' must be performed to scan the trailer into the library.
*Trailers are saved alongside the movie file (see image)
*Trailers are named the same as the movie file but have '''''{{resize|1.2em|-trailer}}''''' appended to the name with no spaces (see image)

<gallery mode="packed" widths="1000px" heights="562px">
File:LocalMovieArtwork01.jpg|'''''Example of correct use of Movie Folder with artwork, nfo file, trailer and theme.<br> Take note of file naming and location.'''''
</gallery>

= TV Shows =
Trailers for TV shows has never been implemented. No naming scheme for tv show trailers has been devised, scrapers do not scrape trailers and scanning local trailers is not possible.

The database does contain a field for TV show trailers and it is possible to force {{kodi}} to populate the database with a local trailer entry through the use of '''[[NFO files]]''' as follows:
# No naming convention exists for TV show trailers, but it would be safe to follow existing conventions and name the trailer '''tvshow-trailer.xxx''' where xxx is the file extension
# Save the trailer inside the folder for the TV Show, where local artwork and season folders are located.
# Create / Export an NFO file and include the following XML tag entry. The value must be the full path to the trailer as shown in the example below.
# Scan the NFO file into the library
:<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<trailer>E:\TV Show- TEST\Ascension\tvshow-trailer.mp4</trailer>
</syntaxhighlight>

= Trailer Add-ons =
The following add-ons are available to view online trailers, play random trailers or to create the "cinema experience".

* [[Add-on:Cinema_Experience]]
* [[Add-on:CinemaVision]]
* [[Add-on:Comingsoon_Trailer]]
* [[Add-on:HD-Trailers.net]]
* [[Add-on:IGN.com]]
