Emby Client maybe coming soon!

[BasementCoder 5]

I recently have been fired from my job so I decided to play with software to perhaps fill the void. My last job of 7 years I was a coder and occasional hacker for the gov and now looking to pair up with a company to perhaps take my stress away and benefit a community looking for something I maybe able to help with. I have been working on a Jellyfin client app with skins included as it is opensource for most common hardware like fire devices android based. Currently I have skins for the following, Netflix, Hulu & Sky UK. So far my Jellyfin app is the exact replica for the three providers I made my skins exactly the same with zero difference. My goal here would be a monthly fee to use my services $5 per month as well comes with a new live tv section that will not ever freeze while watching when I'm done. This will only work on a pc install on 64 bit devices that have 6 gigs of ram and up. Each install for the live tv will turn any 64 bit pc into an Emby app booting directly into Emby with NOTHING ELSE available. (Emby OS) Full Bluetooth with any remote including FireTV remotes.

This would be fantastic! I spent over a week messing around with LibreElec/Kodi with the Emby nex gen plugin just so I could use different skins. Long story short, Kodi just takes too much effort to get working right especially with a simple remote control.

Since I am the original requester of the features I can assist you with testing and what not I already have clear idea how the app should be and functional let me know if you like to communicate more and thanks for doing this

Same, Kodi just isn't all that user friendly to set up and get running. 

Really miss WMC/MB3 themes. I wish I could go back to those days. We had like a 8-9 different themes to choose from. It was awesome. If you got board of one just swap to different one and so on.

The lack of customization of this product has been a major disappointment for a long time.

I get that other items and aspects of EMBY need to take priority, but the fact that no themes have come along is really sad.

Really looking to see what you come up with @BasementCoder Good Luck!

For Emby Web Custom CSS, I made a theme.  You can easily change home page and login backgrounds, library thumb sizes, background colors, play button fade in animations.  Inside the css file there are variables you can change with a guide.  It's not automated with external click, GUI controls, like I think you are asking for.  That would require extra html and .js.  Comments are welcome. Please put them in the forum post.  You can also track down any style and manually tweak it. It's organized with a lot of sections and comments. 

Right now there are 10 user variables that are easy to change. You can request new variables to set, if you like. Fonts, colors, positions are all possible to add in as variables to change.  So far, no one has requested anything.  Enjoy.

Hi , got a question OP,  Since you developed it for windows only, would a user pay 1 monthly fee for few devices at home or is it per device? Do you have demo video that we all can see of what the product looks like ? Please advise Thanks
