Plex Preroll Automation

Bash scripts that auto-sync a folder of videos with Plex's Cinema Trailers preroll list.

Desktopfree

Plex Preroll Automation is a set of Bash scripts that watch a folder of preroll videos and automatically keep Plex's Cinema Trailers preroll setting in sync with it, pushing updates through the Plex API whenever a file is added, removed, renamed, or replaced. It requires no Docker and is designed to run via cron, eliminating the need to manually re-edit Plex's preroll list by hand. It's for Plex server operators who rotate custom preroll videos and want that list kept up to date automatically.
