Download Settings
Where the fake-movie/trailer folders are created. Add this as a Jellyfin Movies library and scan it so a Cinema Mode / trailer pre-roll plugin can use the trailers.
Maximum number of movie trailers to download each time the task runs. Set to 0 to not download any movie trailers. Default: 20.
Maximum number of TV show trailers to download each time the task runs. Set to 0 to not download any TV show trailers. Default: 0.
How many pages to fetch from each TMDB source (20 results per page). Default: 3.
Trailers for movies and TV shows you already own won't be downloaded.
If a folder already exists for a movie or TV show, don't re-download it.

Trailer Rotation

Keep your trailer library fresh by automatically removing the oldest entries each time the download task runs.

Maximum number of trailer folders to keep on disk at once. When this limit is exceeded, the oldest are deleted first to make room for new downloads. Set to 0 for unlimited. Default: 50.

Cinema Mode Integration

When enabled, this plugin registers as an IIntroProvider and injects downloaded trailers before movies — compatible with Jellyfin's built-in cinema mode support and clients like Wholphin. The output folder must be added as a Jellyfin Movies library and scanned before trailers appear.

Number of trailers to play before each movie. Set to 0 to disable. Default: 1.
Only pick trailers whose genre overlaps with the movie you are watching. Falls back to any trailer if no match is found.
Never show a trailer rated higher than the movie being played. Falls back to any trailer if no match is found.
Cycle through all available trailers before playing any again. Resets automatically once every trailer has been shown. Default: on.
Only plays before the first episode a user watches each day — if you watch several episodes back-to-back, only the first gets trailers.

Pre-Roll Bumpers

Optional: pick existing Jellyfin Movie libraries to pull random bumper videos from, bookending the trailer block above. Each is independent — leave either set to "None" to disable it.

A Movie library to pick a random "Now Playing" style bumper from, played before the trailer block.
A Movie library to pick a random "Feature Presentation" style bumper from, played right before the movie/episode (after trailers).
