Jdiesel 1114 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Basically what you need to do is use a RPi to autostart Chromium browser in kiosk mode. You would need to create a simple webpage to authenticate and poll the information from Emby via the API. At least that is what I would do. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can help you generate the API calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the Emby API enough to even take a crack at it but I'm sure there is a few people on the forms with the know how.Perhaps a cross platform nodejs instance with electron (sound familiar... the theater). You could then load it on any platform. @@Untoten For the magic mirror project I used a raspi 3. This is definitely a project for raspi. Also the screen could be portable, and hung like a picture where ever you want. To make it even more interesting I'll build one with an extra monitor I have to see how it all goes together. I was going to build an LCD window for my computer, but this is much more interesting. Edited March 22, 2018 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3749 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Hey @@Untoten I almost finished this. I have a question for you though. Do you want the web browser to take care of the portrait rotate of the image or are you going to use a monitor that has been set to a portrait setting?

chef 3749 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Here is something I'm working on It'll run on Pi, or whatever you want, It also does a pretty nice fade animation. I'll make the "Now Playing" say: "Now Showing", and change where it is located. Maybe across the top. Can't tell in the image but that is "Emby Green" Edited March 24, 2018 by chef 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3749 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I love that idea! Along with “Ends at xx:xx”, or something like that. Sure. DateTime.Now + (RuntimeOfMediaItem - CurrentPositionOfMediaItem) This is going to mean that the webpage is polling an Emby Endpoint. That should be okay though.

Do you want the web browser to take care of the portrait rotate of the image or are you going to use a monitor that has been set to a portrait setting? Either or would work great. The most plug and play option would be best. Here is something I'm working on It'll run on Pi, or whatever you want, It also does a pretty nice fade animation. I'll make the "Now Playing" say: "Now Showing", and change where it is located. Maybe across the top. Can't tell in the image but that is "Emby Green" This looks awesome! I guess after seeing this, a native, portrait setting would be great. Just a full screen movie poster in portrait, "now showing' on top in cinema font. I like the idea about ending at:xx:xx (maybe as a toggle option). Maybe also a semi transparent clock on the top right?

Not sure I've got this correct or not, but everytime I open index.html it asks for the url, port number, followed by username and password and then the device i want it to follow? It also shows all recently added posters, not just for movies that the selected user has access to, is that correct? Thank again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
