Do the issue persists after creating a library with Shoko set as the only metadata provider? (Now is your time to check if you haven't already.)

• [X] Yes, I hereby confirm that the issue persists after creating a library with Shoko set as the only metadata provider.

Issue

Shokofin doesn’t add trailers for a series (not yet tested for movies, so unsure about that) into a trailers folder that Jellyfin supports. I have VFS turned on, so I can’t manually add a trailer either. The same goes for credits as well, but I can live without it, although support for that would be great as well.

is this a shows type library, or a mixed type library?

edit: i will learn to read some day.

are the trailers recognised in shoko?

Also, just to be sure, but you don't see this icon in the UI?

I'm new to Shoko, so I'll ask this, just to be sure: Will Shoko fetch trailers from some online source or do I have to place a trailer into my import folders, and Shoko can check the hash to detect it as a trailer?

If the answer is that Shoko automatically fetches trailers from an online source, is there any way to check that Shoko has indeed fetched a trailer and the issue is specific to Shokofin?

shoko onpy provide local tdaileds (for mow at least) that are recognised by shoko itself.

That icon shows up as YouTube Trailers Plugin was enabled for me. If Jellyfin has fetched a YouTube Trailer and there exists a trailers folder, Jellyfin will prioritize the media inside trailers and ignore the YouTube Trailers completely.

Since, clicking on that icon loads up a YouTube Trailer, I suspected Shokofin didn't create a trailers folder. I confirmed the lack of such folder, when I looked inside the VFS folder to see there were Season X folders with symlinks to my episodes, but no trailers folder.

I have disabled YouTube Trailers as 90% of the trailers that Jellyfin fetches are region-restricted, so it doesn't load up.

shoko onpy provide local tdaileds (for mow at least) that are recognised by shoko itself.

So, I have to manually place a trailer content in my import folders and Shoko should recognize it as a trailer. Is that correct?

EDIT: I downloaded a trailer from YouTube and threw it in Shoko's import folder. It categorized it as "Unrecognized".

You can either

• create a trailer folder in the VFS entry for the show/season and place the youtube video you downloaded in there, followed by a refresh of the show/season in Jellyfin afterwards, or

• you can add a trailer to shoko (either automagically through hash recognition or manually by linking using Shoko Desktop), and it will automagically be linked to the trailer folder for the show and season in Jellyfin.

That is intended behaviour if hash recognition doesn't work btw. You need to manually link anything that is not indexed on AniDB (or add it if it's a public release, which the downloaded youtube video is not).

If there is a plugin that places files in a trailer sub-directory for the show/season then it should in theory work fine even with the VFS (provided they've written it to work with relative paths the same way Jellyfin would resolve the trailers). Not that I've done any research to check if there are any.
