cover image as background

[BetaTester 0]

Hi there, 

 

I saw many of you using the cover image ( or banner? ) as the movie background with very low opacity. 

How can we set it in css?

 

Also, how can I set the width and height of the thumbnails in the movie page?

The aspect should be correct, but I think it is a bit too long.

 

Thanks

Hi, you want to use the poster as the background?

Got a example, as only backdrops are used.  

 

Pretty sure both those items are done in scripts.

If you just want to make the background brighter in a browser, Happy2play provided this -

 

/* Make Backdrop Much Brighter */
.backgroundContainer.withBackdrop {background: rgba(0,0,0,.10)!important;}

Do you have your own media and your own Emby server set up ? If so, they should be downloaded automatically. I'm not sure what the default values are, but I think Emby should download at least one background from the Internet/metadata provider.

If you go to Library and Edit, say, your Movies Library, you need to Show Advanced Settings, go down to Movie Image Fetchers and tick as required. Also click on Fetcher Settings and adjust as required.

That is the css code to affect the scripted code to pull your existing backdrops.

 

I truly don't understand what you are asking for in this topic.

Ahhh Sorry. I didnt know we can add the backdrop there by clicking add image I thought that function is used for cover art lol

Do we have to click More -> Edit Images -> Add -> As backdrop for every single movie? Are there any possible way to make poster.png as backdrop by default?

These options are enabled by default per provider so I am still confused on the issue.  Unless you media is unidentified.

 

You can always do a library level metadata refresh and search for missing.

 

That is the thing, Poster.png is just that a Poster.  Backdrops are backdrop.ext, backdrop2.ext.  Posters will not be used as backdrops unless you find the script that applies them and change backdrop to Primary image.  But I don't think that would would look very good.

Yeah they are unidentified movies. Thats why the primary.png is there, but the backdrop is missing by default.

hmmm guess I have to do it by manual . Thanks anyway.

Actually, can Emby assign the backdrop png location from the nfo? ( Since it assigns primary from the nfo anyway )

Maybe I can bulk enter the information there at 1 time. That will save a lot of time for huge amount of unidentified movies.
