A look inside

Sequence builder & Flow view

Build your preshow visually, from the first intro to the final trailer. Flow view shows each step and its branches, so you can see what plays when a condition is met and what takes its place otherwise. Arrange the canvas without changing playback order, then preview the sequence before scheduling it.

Rules can respond to trailer availability, time of day, genre, whether a movie or episode is starting, or the audio format stored in the file. Trailer blocks can be limited to the age ratings you choose. Genre, movie-or-episode and audio-format rules require Jellyfin or Emby; Plex uses the fallback you choose for those rules.

Preroll library

Your collection in one place, with video previews, categories, tags, and filters for finding the right intro for any occasion.

Schedules & calendar

Give movie night a different opening throughout the year. Recurring schedules, event dates, priorities, and filler selections keep the preshow changing automatically.

Month, week, and day views show what's planned and where schedules overlap.

NeX-Up & Generator Studio

Show trailers for upcoming releases or rediscover movies you already own with Library Trailers. NeX-Up can use existing trailer files or download available trailers through Radarr and Sonarr integrations.

Add a personal touch with custom welcome screens, announcements, and Coming Soon videos. Generator Studio combines templates and a live preview with control over text, colors, timing, and music.

Community Prerolls

Find a new opening for your next movie night. Browse the collection, preview videos, and add your favorites straight to your library.

Works with your setup

Plex uses a shared server-wide preroll setting; playback-triggered changes are best effort. Jellyfin and Emby request intros at playback time, with support depending on the client. See path mapping for media access requirements.
