This wouldn't be too difficult - but seriously...GREEN? The second of your images is a mock-up. It's not a patched WMC with a different background - it's just photoshopped. The fonts are wrong for instance. Oh well, I duuno how those images were actually achieved. And yes, green. Not usually a green fan (see Emby logo), but it depends on the exact shade I guess. Grey might be boring, might be nice. I quite like this NextPVR theme, for instance just as an illustration / thought - but I guess you're doing a pretty strict WMC thing.

I quite like this NextPVR theme, for instance just as an illustration / thought - I'm afraid, but such things are totally out of scope. This side project has a clearly defined objective: Bringing both - the look and the feel - of WMC very accurately to Emby in form of a theme. "A Theme" is singular. It will be one theme, not two, not three, nor more. This is NOT a secondary line of client development. If you want to request features or themes - you know where to do that The only kind of acceptable wish-list requests are such which would be about making a certain part more like WMC...

softworkz 3349 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) On the server dashboard, go to Settings and paste the following into "Custom CSS": BODY { animation: filter-animation 8s infinite; } @keyframes filter-animation { 0% { filter: hue-rotate(0deg); } 100% { filter: hue-rotate(360deg); } } Save and enjoy!

arrbee99 1562 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Coolio. Thanks. Did I really just say coolio ? Anyway, must admit that really makes me lust after a way to have a proper theme picker creator that interacts with Emby so you can just have Emby and a colour wheel or something open and just click on a colour, see it instantly applied and saved if you like the result. I did a feature request for basically that in 2017 but its wildly unpopular. Not a WMC thing but any publicity is good publicity firefox_m8EyiOAuZ9.mp4 Edited February 2, 2023 by arrbee99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unisoft 291 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 This is all very well and excellent work as said previously. Everyone is forgetting one hurdle: Luke I'd love this in the Android app theme as a plugin choice or a theme. When I get a new Sony to replace my LG OLED, would be great. May also tempt some Android TV app users over to the one Android app too. I don't want to have to still use an HTPC as its greener to use the TV app and costs less and breaks less. Apple and ROKU devices I understand why it would not have it and maybe devices with slower resources just have the option of the "Blue" background and traditional Emby themes (Horizontal/Vertical views).

arrbee99 1562 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 And on another completely irrelevant to the subject of the thread point, if you get to put these guide improvements into Emby in general, the ability to scroll back to the beginning of the current day would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is easily possible today already. Just hit the skip next/previous or fast fwd/rew buttons on the remote to move by day (24h).# Also, with channel +/- you can vertically scroll by page (number of channel rows visible). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwhodges 1540 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Eh? In what version of Emby can you scroll the guide even a few minutes back from the present? This is something I often find myself trying to do (e.g. to see easily when the current programs started). Admittedly, I'm not much bothered by the lack...

Maybe I didn't understand - I thought that @arrbee99 meant to quickly return back to the "current day and time" after you have scrolled far into the "future".

Sorry, I'm good at not putting myself clearly, one of my many lovable traits. Anyway, yes, you can scroll from where you are in the guide forward in time but not back, so as 'pw' says, to see when something started, or to maybe - 'I'm sure that program should be on now, where is it ? scrolls back, oh rats it actually finished three hours ago...

softworkz 3349 Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Support for WMC Remote Controls As discussed earlier above: On 1/7/2023 at 1:02 AM, Cheesegeezer said: Yes and it's easy to see all the headings for the rest of menu options, so you can quickly navigate or know exactly where to get to(like you say), but they were also clever with the MCE Remote where as they incorporated shortcut buttons which took you straight to where you needed to go. [...] if you include keyboard and remote navigation i will use this forever more lol On 1/7/2023 at 10:01 AM, Junglejim said: I really loved that remote.. I've still got it, It still works. (libreelec + RasPi) I have good news for all of you who are still having a WMC remote around (or having a programmable remote and the WMC IR receiver) I was able to incorporate support for WMC remotes - which means that all buttons are functional, including Ch+/-, Info, Guide, Recorded TV, Movies, Music, etc. It is using the WebHID API, which is currently supported by Chrome, Edge and Opera. While the API is platform-independent, I'm not sure whether the receiver would work on non-windows with generic HID class drivers, so it's probably limited to Windows. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Emby apps on my Smart TV as of now, still sorely miss the WMC interface, although the horizontal view in TV Mode of Emby (LG/Android apps) with blue WMC background (until Luke destroyed it in the LG app recently) was a fair compromise. I used WMC merely as a backup TV tuner recording device rather than continue to use it. Sounds like once this gets released, I can ditch WMC totally and autoboot on the HTPC into Emby WMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 80% complete but I'm undecided regarding some behavioral questions After that, we'll be setting up a small group for testing.
