I have gotten the animated movie posters too work 100% in emby. I'm talking about no more back loading gifs in a folder. You can upload them straight to emby just like you would a normal image. Now before anyone gets to excited there is always a downside. I have tested these on Roku, Amazon, Xbox, and Window emby app and they don't work (if I find a way i will update with what i come up with). With that been said they will work on mobile web, desktop web (So far on all browsers). and mobile app. Now let's get down to how they work. You will need to use apng( animated png) but if you upload it then it still will not work. Why is that you ask? because emby will resize it and save it as a png. Now read carefully because this next part is important. go to the website ezgif.com you will then see a tab at the top that says apng. Once you click that it will take you to a page where you can upload a gif, apng or anything you like. once its upload convert it to an apng then click resize and type in 200 in width don't worry about height it should put you at 40 percent. Then click resize and then save it. You can now upload it to emby just like any other png. i found 200 to be the sweet because it will show up on the front page and the info page but you can mess with it and see what works for you. Let me know if you still need help and I will try to explain it better. Also if you still have trouble uninstall cover arts plugin Nice Thank you for this Info it helped greatly, I can confirm that it does indeed work as ive just uploaded an mp4 clip and followed the above instructions. now it's my turn to contribute back to this community with some helpful info. so, I got this to work on the Web Version of Emby (Just follow @CharlieRoket instructions to the tee and you will be fine. it also works on iPad/iPhone but not Apple TV it didn't work on the Android TV version of Emby on My Shield but did work on Emby for Android on my shield, it basically works on all versions of Emby for android but doesn't work for the Android TV Version, including Bluestacks, formula boxes etc doesn't work on Emby Theatre/smart TV app Hope this helps everyone pimp their libraries out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsung2100 21 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Used these years ago back when everyone ran kodi, connect to emby from kodi and they all work fine, can't go down the kodi road again. If it ever works on googleTV or firestick I will use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is impossible to say as we have no idea how well the next beta will play (we have some per testing but impossible to cover everyone's setups). But next beta will be any day now.

SeanM 32 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 What is the naming convention with animated gifs in Emby on 4.8? poster-animated.gif? Can you have a poster.jpg as the main poster, and a poster.gif JUST for the detail screen? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there isn't a new image type created, so you just have to have the one poster be an animated gif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What frame of the GIF will be used for the still shot? Many animated gifs, the 1st frames are not really useful or appropriate as a still image. I would really like to see the option for a separate still image if possible, to eliminate that issue. Edited March 24, 2023 by SeanM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many animated gifs, the 1st frames are not really useful or appropriate as a still image. I would really like to see the option for a separate still image if possible, to eliminate that issue. I honestly don't know. We have three different image processing libraries depending on the platform being used, and I don't know which frame any of them grab. The first one is probably a good bet. Creating a new image type for this could be a possibility. I hadn't thought of that, but now that the idea has been brought up, there are reasons why it might make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Default is poster.* Then if you have an animated poster ani-poster.* This way, every other screen should use the set poster.* and the details can then use the an-poster.* instead if you have one. It would then stop the use of the first frame for the poster, which can cause issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
