The Trailers page: find something to watch

The Trailers page in the Beebo desktop app lets you look through your own library, or see what else is out there, by genre, year and actor. Trailers open in your web browser.

Beta Status: The Trailers page is in Beebo for Windows (Beta, since 0.1.58). It needs a TMDB key and the internet; it opens trailers in your default browser (YouTube), and for a profile with parental restrictions it stays in the menu but shows “Trailers are turned off for this profile.” To see trailers before a film, see Pre-show.

Before you start

Step by step

  1. Open Trailers

    In the Beebo desktop app, click Trailers in the sidebar.

    What you’ll see: A page headed Trailers: “Find something to watch: look through your library, or see what else is out there. Trailers open in your web browser.”

    Screenshot coming. The Trailers page with filters and a poster grid.

  2. Choose movies or TV shows

    Use the Movies and TV shows buttons at the top of the filters.

  3. Narrow it down

    Type part of a Title, a Year (like 1999 or 1990-1999) or an Actor name. Under Suggest by, choose Most popular or Highest rated. The genre buttons narrow it further. A title must match every genre you pick. Click Clear filters to start over.

    What you’ll see: “In your library” fills with your matching titles, and “You might be interested in” fills with suggestions.

  4. Watch a trailer, or play the film

    Click Watch trailer on any card. It opens in your usual web browser. For a movie you own, ▶ Play starts it. For a show, Open in TV Shows takes you to it.

    What you’ll see: A browser tab with the trailer. Suggestions leave out titles you already have. If TMDB has no trailer for a title, the card says so and Beebo opens a YouTube search for it instead.

What is sent

Suggestions and trailer lookups send TMDB the IDs of titles, and any actor or title words you type. They do not send your watch history, file names or profile names. Trailers play on YouTube in your own browser, so YouTube sees you the way it sees any visitor; Beebo sends it nothing beyond the address it opens. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

If something goes wrong

The page is empty or says nothing matches

Check your TMDB key in Settings, then rescan your library. “Nothing in your movies has been matched to TMDB yet” means Beebo has not found your titles in TMDB yet. The actor filter only knows the cast lists Beebo has already downloaded, so a title can be missing until its cast arrives.

I do not see the Trailers tab

It is in Windows 0.1.58 and newer, and for a profile with parental restrictions the page stays in the menu but shows “Trailers are turned off for this profile.” Update the Beebo PC, or check What’s new.

A trailer did not open

Beebo shows a message on that card. Try again in a moment. Beebo keeps recent results and spaces out its requests, so TMDB is not overloaded.
