CarlosLima 150 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 (edited) Hi, Is it possible to display the imdb rating and also the genre on the homepage, i.e. on the emby home screen? Thank you. Edited February 4 by CarlosLima
Solution visproduction 220 Posted February 4 Solution Posted February 4 (edited) Carlos, The page is not being served this data. It would require an update in the javascript. I would guess the reason no extra info is served, would be to allow the page to load quicker. Calling the database to retrieve this extra information, every time a home page is initially requested is a lot of extra server load. For remote users and with slower servers or multiple users hitting the page, could easily cause the home page to falter and not load quickly. Page load time on a home page is critical to keep users happy. A delay even of 1 second really hurts the quality of the software package. Typically, an online measurement is if a home page does not load within 4 seconds, 98% of users will leave and never come back. So, adding a lot of information on the main home page can kill a program's popularity very quickly. Edited February 4 by visproduction 2

CarlosLima 150 Posted February 8 Author Posted February 8 Olá, obrigado pela dica. Eu uso o recurso nativo do Emby, mas o que eu tinha pensado era ter esses metadados na página inicial, a página inicial do Emby.

Short, The link to your forum post above, includes an outdated Github link, which no longer works. Further down your forum post you mention this: Quote The RatingPosterDB plugin is now officially in the Emby plugins catalog

Further down your forum post you mention this: Neither is this my forum post, nor did I mention anything in that post since I did not write it . The project seems to have evolved since the first post and you find everything here: RatingPosterDB. Edited February 9 by sh0rty 1
