pir8radio 1292 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) So I have reverted to using the default library images. But it irks me that recordings SAYS Recordings lol can you please make a default recordings image something like the attached file? (there is a white one there too but its camouflaged) Edited January 24, 2020 by pir8radio 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pir8radio 1292 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 looks like playlists has one now... this is why I didn't used to like the default icons, now they are starting to look nice.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Actually, I'm wondering how they're the default images ? I thought the defaults were the 4 (or 6?) stripped ones. Aren't they only defaults till the server decides to update to the stripy ones (which I also like but its always missed out on doing all of them).

Happy2Play 8281 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That is what I was going to comment as those are irrelevant after a library scan, since we have no option to disable dynamic images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Would be nice to know where they're stored (if they're stored) though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1559 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thank. Knew I'd seen those somewhere recently Hopefully I'll be able to have a go at those, or something similar. Hoping to get something like this with the pale colours (till I get bored with them again anyway, attention span of a gnat etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that to the original feature request then, ability to have default icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was going to comment as those are irrelevant after a library scan, since we have no option to disable dynamic images. @@Luke i thought there used to be an xml config parameter to disable these dynamic images? The default icons look nice, they match the different themes, and people remember the icons when they are clicking through things.

Luke 37060 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 No we never really added a config setting for this but it's a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 ... Documentaries... That is not a library type so there really isn't a way to have a default icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to have to go in and delete them daily lol.. Is there some place these dynamic images are stored? Maybe i can do something there at the os level? or write a script that deletes them after every library scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 There is currently no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 There is currently no way. Meh... So they are dynamically generated and put in some hashed folder/filename somewhere that changes every time they are generated? Or are they stored in the same location every time? (the dynamic images) I guess I can do some digging on my own, sorry just being lazy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I would use these generic icons too if there was a way to turn off the dynamic images being created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You can either use My Media Small which will have buttons with those icons or you can define those images as the actual image for the library and it will stop creating the other ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but some of the themes use brightly colored backgrounds for those default images... I like that... With my own image, even with a transparent background, emby doesnt keep those theme default button backgrounds in place... Boo... I guess i can use that other dude's icons he created and make them transparent backgrounds and deal without the cool colors and what not lol.. But sure would be nice to be able to disable the dynamic image creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
