NeXroll 2.2.6 fixes two problems in 2.2.5. Plex no longer stops on a trailer when NeXroll updates the preroll list between two prerolls, and on installs that run Plex alongside Jellyfin or Emby, Jellyfin and Emby switch to filler or a blended schedule straight away again.

Plex stopping on a trailer
Plex reads its preroll list as the prerolls play, so NeXroll holds a preroll change while someone is in their prerolls (the Playback Guard). Between two prerolls or trailers, though, Plex reports nothing playing for a moment. A change that landed in that moment slipped past the guard, and Plex then stopped on the next trailer because it was no longer in the list. NeXroll now recognizes the prerolls, trailers and movie of one playback as the same session and keeps holding changes through the gap. 2.2.5 picks new random prerolls every 3 minutes, which made this more likely. See Configuration.
Jellyfin and Emby alongside Plex
Jellyfin and Emby ask NeXroll what to play when playback starts. In 2.2.5, when filler started or a blend switched while a Plex movie was in its prerolls, NeXroll waited for Plex before recording the change, so Jellyfin and Emby kept playing the schedule that had ended. They now switch at once; only the Plex update waits. Installs with only Plex, or only Jellyfin or Emby, were not affected.
