Hauzz 1 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hi, I have been searching this forum but I can't seem to find an answer. Emby server is running on windows. I watch movies series and listen to my music collection on a Sony Android TV. When I use Emby to play music on my windows machine and the artist has more then one backdrop, they are displayed as a slideshow. When I listen to music on my TV only the first backdrop shows.... does Emby for Android TV lack this feature or am I missing a setting? Thanks, Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hi. I'll take a look but they should be rotating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauzz 1 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) something else caught my eye, in the Android TV app, the logo is displayed as plain text, is that right? Edited September 18, 2019 by Hauzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 something else caught my eye, in the Android TV app, the logo is displayed as plain text, is that right? It isn't possible for us to display a logo image as text so please post a screen shot of what you are talking about. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikinjo 162 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nope not rotating for me also. I have changed number of backdrops to 3, re scanned all of music but it is the same only shows first image / backdrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The multiple backdrops is something that will have to be looked into. As for what you think should be a logo, why do you think that? That field is just a text field showing the name of the artist. It is not a logo.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work very well because logos can be any size or shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauzz 1 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Unfortunately, that doesn't work very well because logos can be any size or shape. Well, it would be nice but not necessary but I think the rotating backdrops are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauzz 1 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hey guys, Any progress on the rotating backdrops when playing music randomly? Would be very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hi. I just tested and the beta version is rotating backdrops during music playback for me. Nothing specifically was done here but there is a new music player interface so, perhaps, that had an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauzz 1 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hi ebr, I know the backdrops are rotating when playing music however, they DO NOT rotate when playing music randomly what I am doing right now and only the first backdrop shows. In the meantime, I've signed up to be tester and hope the update comes soon. Thanks, Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauzz 1 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Random play Go to 00:50. I moved the cursor to the top row of artists, then I move up one more and the cursor moves to the top right. There I select play and from the dropdown Random (Alles willekeurig in Dutch) I hope I could make myself clear.

Hauzz 1 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 Yesterday I used Emby to play music again and I noticed that the backdrop now are rotating when playing in random order. Very nice work, Thanks for all your effort I'm happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
