nickyrat 2 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 After the latest server update, my backdrop screen saver in Emby Theater is showing pictures from music artists that I have in my Music folder. Before this update it was only showing movies and TV shows. Is there a way to pick and choose what types of Backdrops that we'd like to show up in the screen saver? Personally I'd only like Movies and TV shows like before. I looked for an option in the Display settings, but only see a way to turn the screensaver on and off, no way to customize it. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi, yes I would expect more configuration for this in future updates. Thanks for the feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. Good evening! I know that this isn't the most pressing concern for you awesome makers and maintainers of Emby...but I was curious if there was any indication of when a feature to pick what would show up in the Backdrop Screensaver would be available? If ever? If not, I may need to either disable it or remove my music artist backgrounds...as some of them have some more risque pictures than I want to show up in my media player screensaver in the Family Room, lol Thank you so much!

Acemt 1 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 As a note to this topic Luke, can you point me in the direction as to what the difference between LOGO and BACKDROP screen saver is please. Can't find it anywhere. I have a new OLED tv and need something to prevent burn in during music listening. The static image artist isn't going to work.

Luke 36997 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 The logo is just the Emby logo against a black backdrop. It bounces around with some animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemt 1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Not sure how to get this to start. I selected it in the server, yet it is still showing solid artist background when I play album. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I think you're referring to the now playing screen, which is not the screen saver. The screen saver as you might expect comes on after several minutes of being completely idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemt 1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Ok, yes, you are correct. Any way to have the now playing screen shuffle images? Static image no bueno. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If your artist has multiple backdrops, then they will rotate periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umair9 0 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I have an iPad connected to the led Cinema Display. I don’t think its possible to automate “off/on” switch with it. Super beneficial feature for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
