Theme Videos or Start Playback from Home Screen

[Sammy 790]

Netflix has a pretty cool feature whereupon after being on a title for a few seconds it just starts playing. One can then click it to go full screen.

They used to just have theme videos but changed to this function.

Request is to have either or both of these via a setting toggle happen in Emby.

Wow, I didn't know there were people who actually liked that feature.

I don't mind it. It's better than a blank screen staring back at you. I'd go for a theme video if stopped on an item on the home screen though. That said, not having to go to the detail screen and then push play has an advantage of saving time.

Haven't had Netflix in years, but I remember going searching for a way to turn it off because I got sick of movies starting while I was still trying to read the movie info, or while I was popping out of the room for a couple of minutes between movies.

FYI you don't have to open the details page, you can click the Play button on your remote and the content will play directly from the poster.
