Multiple selection of posters, backdrops, logos and thumbnails

It is possible to put multiple selections of posters, backdrops, logos and thumbnails
And emby will randomly choose a different one each time.

The logic behind it is to create interest and not get bored seeing the same pictures all the time.
For example put in a folder
poster v1 poster v2 poster v3
And every so often emby will switch between them
So on with the logo, backdrops, etc.

Hi, yes this idea has come up before and is possible for future updates. Thanks.

I just can't understand, how is it that this kind of request is from 2020. And nothing is done?!  Anyway, thanks Luke

Hi, we monitor all of our requests for community feedback and use that as a gauge of what to prioritize.

Personally, would never use this option but edge case like this normally don't get much traction.  At the same time the Devs are not going to come out and say NO this will not happen.

Any this is possible at a future date.  But the Future is never now.

Come on...you write sarcastically...

what does it matter if it's an edge request or not?  There are requests that can be implemented.  I'm not saying right away, of course. But if I notice that the request is from 2019 - 2020, then by all means, implement it.

3 years is not enough to implement such an "edge request"?

In 3 years the priority didn't go up?  Come on...

So you would rather the Devs say NO then say there is a possibility in a future update, correct?

If requests are by popularity, then will a one like request ever be implemented?  It is on the radar but potentially will not get looked at useless work in that specific section of code happens.

Should every request be implemented?

Personally, time is irrelevant to me if it happens, but I do not agree with stopping work in other areas just to implement edge requests.

Because there are other requests which many more users are waiting for.

It's not like a work queue where new requests are added to the bottom and get processed in order. Unfortunately there are always coming highly anticipated items which need to be added to the upper range..

That's not really what I said.  You and luke are the ones who wrote that it future updates.  You are the ones who wrote that it is by popularity.  Isn't time from 3 years ago to today called the future to arrive?  If so, what do you think is the future w?  5 years ?  Or wait for it to be popular in 5 years and then add another 3 years to think that the future has arrived.

@CAPRICORNX10X - Nobody mentioned this, so did you actually know that this feature exists already for backdrops?

I did not know.  How is it implemented?  can you explain me please

I really don't come with claims.  I only come with claims for the empty and worthless words, when they write it will come in the future.  Then I look and see that the future is now.  Frankly, I'd rather Luke write that it's not currently in the plans.  And that's it.  Literally

Personally it depends on the feature and the popularity as it makes it to a to list but comes down to time if devs ever get to it.

 

Backdrops have always been this way.  You just have change image fetcher setting per library to higher then 1.

You have that option per library, but since image are of provider vote system and provider order you could end up with the same images every time.

You can also add as many as you like manually to each item.

They will be switched something like every 30 or 60s when viewing an item.

By the way, what name to add them in the folder?  The first is "backdrop" and the second, and the third what to write?
