Config File Explanations

All sections are in the same order as the config

TMDB API Key

Go here for a detailed walk through with screenshots on getting a TMDB api key

Youtube playlist

TheaterTrailers was built to use Fandango's trailer playlist, however other inputs will likely be used later.

TheaterTrailers goes through the last 400 videos in the playlist. This may take some time, however TheaterTrailers will build a cache as it goes through and will be much faster the next time through.

Run Cleanup

Turn off cleanup to leave trailers after they hit theaters

Plex Info

TheaterTrailers supports updating plex when trailers are added or removed. It requires the token, host and port all filled out or it will not work. Instructions on finding your plex token can be found here

Red Band

Red Band trailers will be ignored by default but can be downloaded by changing this flag

Trailer Location

This will allow you to move the trailers location to a different place then where the script put it. Not suggested to be moved but its available. Cleanup will not be available to remove trailers that hit theaters if its moved

Days to Keep Cache

This will delete the cache file every few days. Keep this number high to keep run times shorter

Logging Level

This currently is not implimented but will change the logging level within TheaterTrailers.

CouchPotato Options

TheaterTrailers can push movies to your wanted list. This requires the host, port and key. If you have set a URI (http(s)://yourcouchpotatoip:port/uri) make sure to include that as well or it will not work.

Steps for getting your CouchPotato key:

  • Settings > General
  • Show Advanced
  • scroll down to the Advanced section
  • Api Key (read only) will be the second option in Advanced

Push and Pull

  • Push will push movies to CouchPotato as requests
  • Pull is not currently implimented but will be in future updates. It will take all the movies that are currently in the wanted section of CouchPotato and download those trailers
