Want to remove local trailer files from library
« on: June 09, 2023, 10:48:29 am »

I have local trailers stored in some of my movie folders and media center ended up importing them (not sure if there was a way to avoid importing those specific files), but I'm wanting to find just those files and remove them from the library. Each file have -trailer at the end of the name and are in .mkv,.mp4,.mov format. Is there a smartlist that i can create to find them?

MC's search function is very inclusive.  It searches many common fields at the same time.  The Name field and the filename field are both part of the standard search

So just type "-trailer" into the search box at the upper right and it should bring up your trailers.  I recommend using the Video:Files view as you can see file properties, isolate by directory or drive, etc.
