Images used for "continue watching"

[btaylor81 0]

Hi, 

I just switched from jellyfin, and I have to say that the only thing I hate about emby is that there is no option to use the episode image thumbnail for continue watching and next up (like in jellyfin).

Seems as though this feature isn't coming as it's been requested for years.

Once they fix jellyfin 10.11+ I'll probably go back unless you guys can add the episode thumbnail. It looks ridiculous to have every episode of the same show use the same thumbnail in CW/NU.

Thanks, take care.

Hi.  There is only ever a single episode from a specific series in one of those displays.  Considering this, the show thumb is massively more informative than a random screenshot from an episode.

However, options for this should be coming in the future.

I wonder when this future will be...

I'm also wondering why does the episode thumb get displayed on the next up/continue watching menu of the episode, but it so difficult to put put an option on what image to display in the slide. Another option, let us choose the order.

Hi, we will be revamping our home screen options so stay tuned for that. Thanks.

This will be on the beta channel any day now as you'll be able to design your own home sections:

+1 here for using the primary (episode) image on the Continue Watching/Up Next row.

I did think that switching from Auto to Primary in the Home Screen Continue Watching settings would achieve this but it doesn't. 

The episode images are already available emby, as evidenced on the details screen.

Please consider this soon.

Thanks.

I would also like the episode image to be the one in the cw row. At least make it an option.

It seems to work if the primary image is copied to the thumb. But that seems a little counter intuitive since Emby knows to call the primary image of an episode "thumb" when saving it on disk...
