Overview

The Trailers tab allows you to configure the main settings to integrate locally stored trailers into your movie catalog/database.

Trailers Setup

Open MyFilms Setup either via MediaPortal Configuration > Plugins > MyFilms or via the desktop shortcut if you installed it during setup and select the Trailers tab.

For details on how to setup Trailers based on how you save them, or auto detect and add them during import, see the Trailers Setup guide.

Settings

1. DB Item for storing Trailer Info - select the field in your database where you have entered the filename of a related trailer(s). Make sure the field is NOT used for other data already. The Setup Wizard will normally preset this based on your catalog type, e.g. Source Trailer for AMC4 catalogs.or Borrower for AMC3
2. Extended Trailer Search path - select one or more folders (separated by semi-colon) to search for related trailers. This is especially useful if you download movie trailers using other MediaPortal Plugins, like Online Videos,  or Showtimes. Just search the folders where you store these trailers and My Films will automatically link to them.

As of v 6.1.0:

1. Autoregister Trailer - when enabled trailers will be automatically added to your movie catalog/database whenever you enter Details View. This is especially useful when downloading trailers within MyFilms (e.g. via OnlineVideos plugin). Warning: if you download a lot of trailers, this option will cause regular updates to your database and may reduce performance.
2. Cache Trailers for Online Content - when viewing Online Content (e.g. *** Online Info *** views or a person's Filmography (TMDb)). If you have specified an Extended Trailer Search path, My Films will cache trailers in the background in a

   OnlineTrailerCache

   subfolder so you have the choice to play them locally at a later time. This is especially useful if you have lower bandwidth. In addition, that makes sure, you still have the trailers available, even when the online source has been taken down.
   Warning: when this option is enabled, MediaPortal will not actually close until the current download is finsihed.
