Intros not working

[CaffeinatedOpe]

I've tried using both versions of the plugin from the repository, using a default install of jellyfin, but no intros play when i play a movie or tv show. I've tried random default intros, specific default intros, giving it a local directory and file, yet still nothing. I'm using the jelllyfin container in the default docker repos. Does anyone have ideas on how I could get this working?

I was able to replicate this issue on a fresh install of the plug-in. It seems like it is getting a (404) Not Found exception when trying to get a unique id (from Vimeo?) and I was able to fix it with the following workaround.

1. Find your intros config xml file, mine is at config/plugins/configurations/Jellyfin.Plugin.Intros.xml
2. Input the local directory for your prerolls within the <Local> element: <Local>/prerolls</Local>
3. Input a fake Id in the <Id> element. I used this from an old backup. The plugin will regenerate this id on its own when you try to play a movie/show. <Id>5839ed26-7dcd-4181-8327-8e6d3c9fe1b6</Id>
4. Restart your server and test it out

@preroller your hack doesn't work for me for a local file :/

Every time a video is played, the xml config is rolled back to it's default state:

  <Local />
  <Vimeo />
  <Intro>443404335</Intro>
  <Resolution>1080</Resolution>
  <Random>false</Random>
  <Id>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</Id>

Make sure you have the latest version (v1.3.2)
it looks like you might have an older version of the plugin
I can say the fix did work for me (windows 10, Jellyfin 10.8.9)

Same issue here, the fix doesn't work for me (I have the latest version)

Same here, workaround didn't work.
Jellyfin in Docker container on a RPI 4.

The issue is related to the internet caching. There's a new fork that removes Vimeo and introduces new features like rules for genres, tags, and studios. More details can be found in the pre-roll community discord.

I've noticed only now that prerolls.video is down, I really missed this!
Now trying the new fork: working good by now, thank you!
