¿Can i change the EMBY "background"?

[ArchivoEnsalle 2]

Hello again,

I am trying to customize the EMBY page as much as possible. My question is if I can use a personal image as a background, both as the general background and as the background for each library.

We have seen that you can change the themes, but this is at the user level. It would be preferable to do so so that each user of our platform can see the customization we have carried out. If it is necessary to do the process every time there is an update, then fine.

Thank's.

For the web client yes via custom css, for any other client no.

There are few topics in the custom css forum section.

My apologies, but I searched the forum and found nothing related. I found topics about background blur, about opacity, about TV backgrounds... But I didn't find how to put a custom image.

Depends on exactly what you want as you can target Home Screen and library type but when you have multiple same type libraries it becomes a little more difficult.

What I am most interested in is having an image as a background in image 1. I am also interested, although less important, in whether I can put another image inside one of the libraries (image 2).

1) With custom css only the web client as already shown in the linked post above for home screen.

Or Home page only

div.view-home-home {background-image: url("https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp2088492.png");background-size: cover;}

 

  

 

2) As library easiest to just apply a backdrop to any of the content within that library.  But can be done with css but many not be specific to said library as there is really no easy way to differentiate multiple libraries of the same content type.

In point 2), you say to apply a backdrop to any of the content within that library. How do I do that? Is it from the "Edit images" section?

Yes pick any item in the library, select Edit Image and apply a backdrop.  That will be display when you enter the library and enter the item.

I've done this step on folders, but it doesn't apply. In fact, it can also be done on actor profiles, but it doesn't apply either. The only place where this step works for me is on videos, where by inserting more than one background image, a sequence is created, and it's really cool.

Don't really follow but people only inherit background from navigated item so if you go directly to person there will be no background unless they themselves have a background.

Example entered movie Cocktails and clicked on Tom Cruise there is a background because the movie has backgrounds.

But say from search there will be no backgrounds because there is no linking done as the person is the item.

 

But navigating any library will show existing backdrops from any content in that library.  If you have no backdrops for your media then no will be shown.

If you want a static backdrop for everywhere then css can use a single image everywhere if you like but will probably need a lot of :not elements as you don't really want it everywhere.
