ebr 14910 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Sorry, not yet. Again, the thing that continues to slow us down on this is the fact that there is no free and readily available source for this content so the feature only impacts a very small audience (and is far from trivial to implement properly). Thanks for your patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott310 133 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) But there is a very large number of us that use @@radeon's tools and a smaller number of us that source our own. Many of the other clients have this including the web portal. I am still waiting to take full advantage of my android clients simply because this feature is not there yet. It is obviously pretty popular if it keeps getting bumped.... Edited July 6, 2019 by Scott310 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is obviously pretty popular if it keeps getting bumped.... What other clients have this feature? I am using the iOS Clients, too, and there is this feature but it’s annoying and I deactivated it. On the other hand is it very well implemented in the web client. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Emby theater has it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ng_Lear 185 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Emby theater has it. Ok, unfortunately I don’t own any kind of a windows machine and have no intention to buy one. So I would appreciate it, if this feature comes to the shield, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2493 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 So the explanations here don’t seem to add up. Elsewhere the “consistency “ argument is used to implement things no-one actually asked for, yet here where there is a demand and no consistency there is no action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 This is a hard one that requires re-working the entire user interface so that video can be displayed underneath. Emby Theater and the web app did this work years ago and that is why they have the feature. We cannot prioritize this ahead of things like Live TV development and other broadly used features, but hopefully we will be able to get to it in the not so distant future. Thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very true, there are other things with higher priority than video background. And the Ios implementation of it is very annoying lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 It's getting closer. Thanks. Closer now?? I know there's been a lot of other priorities that are more appreciated but this is icing on the cake (for me anyhow)! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmack3000 84 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thanks. I'm just curious if the following are two separate goals or both being help up by the same thing. It seems like there's a holdup in how to pull videos from the internet to provide video backdrops (the way Emby already pulls photos for them). Is the same thing holding up implementing video backdrops that we source ourselves and are already in the backdrop folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Yes the main issue is the user interface development in the Android TV app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottRTL 6 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'll +1 on this one too. I really hope this is at least in the roadmap for a future release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreash76 0 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I did buy all the plugins for 8$, but it seems it´s still useless since more than a year. I hope it´s getting implemented. I am running on FireTV and also Apple TV4K. Both have their topics (apple TV the translation it seems) for an example. Keep going the good work. I will 100% not going back to Plex anymore Edited February 4, 2020 by andreash76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 I love the theme videos in the Web App and Theater. Sure wish they worked in AndroidTV et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Banana 0 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just bought the plugins and came looking to see why the theme videos weren't working on the Shield app. +1 for me as well would love to see this working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurch9366 16 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 +1 for me. I rip my own content from blu-ray disk and am sure to add the "theme" blu ray menu video. This worked great on emby for wmc but since my switch to nvidia sheild due to the lack of win 7 support I really miss this. Thanks Emby team for all your hard work!!!!

Sammy 735 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Hi. The app supports theme songs but not videos at this point. Thanks. Do you plan on adding video support at some point in the future? Is it on the "todo-list"? It is on the list. Thanks. Soon?? PLEASE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whupper 0 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 +1 also for me. I would really like the Theme Videos feature on Android TV. Don't have any other feature requests than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
