More options for content without posters

Need extra settings for media content that don't have available primary posters. Emby will pull a screen grab from the video file if the meta data doesn't include a primary image. 

This is all done in the background with no options to change the behavior. 

No Poster content

  • Option for using a generic placeholder
  • Specify user-defined image to use
  • Provide more options for screen grabs. Specify a location in the video or random location

Also please don't take 5 years to implement thanks

Hi.  That isn't really correct...

Disable the screen grabber image provider in the library and that's what you'll get.

You can do this now via "Edit Images"

This is the only one not possible now.  I thought there was an existing FR for it but I cannot find it...

Hi there, yes have you explored the settings for your libraries? After doing that, what would give you the impression of "no options"? Or did you just not explore them?

Offshoot of this, If possible, I would love if Emby would auto-crop poster screengrabs instead of squishing them into that box.

Yeah changing the view helps this.. but when they are in the same Library with items that have posters doesn't look great unless you have thumbs downloaded.. for landscape poster.

Currently the only other fix is to have the right filetypes that support it and embed your own poster image.

I assume you are talking about Emby inheriting other image types when a poster is not available?  But as specific example could explain more.
