I'm working on uploading all 52 of my prerolls to my Peertube channel. It's a slow process as it's one at a time, but it's a good collection I've been working on for a while!

Nice!!
These are awesome! Thank-you. Is there a way to download these from Peertube?
I've never used a pre roll and really don't understand the point. Maybe I should try it just for fun.
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!
I've never setup a Plex preroll but some of these are great! It looks like you can even do multiple from a list, I might have to check out some of these and add them to my server
I have been a plex premium member for many years but I always just turn off internet sources. Can you explain what a pre-roll is?
There is some information on the Plex support pages. Just be careful when building the directory name. It's kinda picky
Good advice. Thanks.
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
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.
I have them rotate randomly and seasonally but my favorite is probably the Mr. Burns "Let's all go to the lobby" one
