Multi Line Titles

[kbeck 44]

Many titles are so long with sequel names they are meaningless. Would it be possible to add a second title line or something similar? I have looked for a way to lower the text size but didn't see anything. Maybe there is another way to fit more in?

I agree that long titles are an issue, but I'd prefer an auto scroll when hovering over the title or image.

Long names will always be a issue. 

At least for the web client I just add some custom css.  

div.cardText.cardTextCentered.cardText-first {
    white-space: pre-wrap;
}

It's not an issue with an auto-scroll.

Assuming auto scroll can be done on every platform.

Good platforms shouldn't be held back by the deficiencies of bad platforms.

It doesn't help in the meantime to just change the title ?

'Nuff said. 

Same goes for Actor roles.

There are numerous differences across multiple client apps on number of platforms - why should this one be either universally available or not available at all?

Thanks. Finally added your code and looks great. Saves me from renaming lots of titles.

Ran into a problem..... Added the code to Server-Settings. Worked fine on my computer. Works fine on Firefox on my Android phone. But open Firefox on the server computer and no wrap. Maybe the server doesn't load the css on itself? Only thing I can think of. The bad thing is this is the computer I use to play from in the living room.

CSS will work on web client not the online client or any other client.

Have your tried a hard refresh (shft+crtl+f5) or clear the browser cache?  Or compared browser version number?

Used Firefox on all 3. 2 desktop computers and Android. I have not compared versions. Have not tried a hard refresh. I closed and reopened but could have been using cached i guess. I'll experiment more.

Hello. Your CSS is working fine on my desktop computer, but doesn't work on the server, which I use in the living room to watch movies. Can you confirm that yours works on the browser on your server. I've tried multiple browsers, refeshing, clearing cache. Nothing seems to work on the server.

How are you connected to your server there? IP:port or app.emby.media?

Server is app.emby.media, Desktop is IP address: Port.

I tried localhost:8096 on the server and it works!!!!! That was genius. Thanks a lot.

Simply no. Last thing I want to see is it looking like a advertising marque. Mousing over the title and the full name poping up is one thing, but scrolling, simply no.

This works like a charm, looks fantastic.

 

EDIT: Spoke too soon. This does not work under collections.

Do you have an example?

Sorry was looking at Collection tab not Collection library.  My custom css is to targeted as that view does not have "cardTextCentered", so the fix is to change to this "div.cardText.cardText-first" to cover more.

 

[Locutus64 124]

Thank GAWD for find in Kate or I'd be looking all day for that. I'll change it in a little while and let you know what I get. Thanks

Don't follow as they are exactly the same as above or are you referring to secondary line?
