you could probably use the API's and maybe system Events
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_System_Events  but this is not something
that mythtv does out of the box

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/API_parameters_0.28

Myth/GetFrontends from the backend to find your frontends

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frontend_Service

to find the status of each frontend then play a video if needed

Mythvideo used to have a trailer playback feature not sure if this still
works or not

Cheers,

Anthony
