Installing the 'Intros' Plugin in Jellyfin

Jellyfin offers a unique way to personalize your media server experience through prerolls, enhancing your viewing with an authentic cinema feel. To start, you need to install the 'Intros' plugin, which is essential for adding prerolls to your Jellyfin setup. Follow these simple steps:

Configuring Local Paths for Preroll Files

After installing the 'Intros' plugin, you'll need to configure the paths where your preroll video files are stored. This step ensures Jellyfin knows where to find these files and play them before your main content. Here's how you can set it up:

• Make sure the path is accessible by the Jellyfin server and permissions are correctly set.

This setup allows Jellyfin to seamlessly incorporate your preroll videos whenever you start a movie or TV show.
