Hiding Media Library Titles.

[JoeSanfer 11]

Hi everyone! I have added my own custom library icons with the names of the different libraries. Therefore, the default title for each of the libraries seems unnecessary and looks redundant. Is there a way to optionally hide these titles from the library categories?

If this is not possible, I would like that as a feature request.

Hi, there is currently no option for this, but it has come up before and is possible for the future. thanks.

It’s been almost 4 years since this post, has there been a fix for this yet? I’m looking for a way to hide the default library titles from either the admin side or user side so that a custom library poster allows for a more clean UI look and feel. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi, on what screen exactly would you like to hide library titles?

One way you could try (as a workaround) is to rename your libraries using a blank Unicode character. (Just copy and paste from any relevant website: e.g. editpad.org/tool/invisible-character ) Your Emby server should accept this and then display a blank space for the title (Note; just deleting the title will probably not work.)

I just did a quick test (Movies library) and this somewhat works ok with the Web app, Android app, Android TV app, iOS app.

The obvious downside is this blank space also appears in menu tabs and side panels - so it all depends on which apps you use and how you navigate with Emby as to whether this is of any practical use or not???

Anyway, perhaps something to try while waiting for an elegant solution...

Custom Css for the web client, was going to link you to existing topics but the code has changed since then.

div.homeSectionsContainer div div:nth-child(1) div div div div div.cardText {
    display: none;
}

Yes i came across that one as well. I was mainly looking for something for the Emby Android apps or a way to add a setting feature in the server manager panel to hide them.

Not sure what you mean by "What Screen"? I was mainly inquiring to see if there was a setting or a way to turn them off in the Manage Emby Server panel, so that it hides it from all my users. That way the custom library images showcased what library it was.

This worked great except it broke the auto syncing with the ACdbTV Plugin, unfortunately i had to revert back. Awesome tip, though thank you!
