Emby Theater home screen tweaks

[all4dom 101]

On the main home screen in emby theater, is it possible to tilt the angle of the screen displaying all the media? Also maybe allow cover art to change the disc covers appearance on the home screen?

I was gonna ask about having trailers playing on the home screen but i think thats been asked already.

Can you elaborate on this...?

@ebr. So in emby theater for most apps, if you select vertical you have a beautiful display. On the left side of the screen is the box that scrolls through movies or television shows we have stored. Now if you angle that a little bit with technically the left side closer it changes the appearance a bit. Now the next step could be able to change the appearance of all the DVD covers were with all the enhancements cover art offers. Also you can maybe change the thumbs with the image in a tv screen. Actually you could add a.newer looking flat tv screen.

I know you guys are busy but this would be cool to add. If you think about it we really got spoiled with beautiful themes back in the media browser days .

Maybe you could even throw in the ability to play locally stored trailers if its on the server.

Thanks Eric for taking the time to look into this.

Hi, I'm still having trouble picturing what you mean by angle.

[all4dom 101]

@Luke @ebr I mean like this.

OK so this is about the cover art plugin?

@Luke I'm talking about the screen on the home display in emby theater to the left where you always see a different TV show or movie displayed every few seconds but I use cover art to show you the slant of the screen so you understood what I meant by angle

I think you've confused everyone with this:

Are you actually talking about horizontal Home Screen?

Im sorry for confusing everyone. This is the screen im talking about making it on an angle. I used the TV in cover art just as an example.

Okay, so you are looking for a "3D" style presentation to the whole UI kinda like the carousel option you requested elsewhere.  Again, never say never, but those design styles have been out for quite a while now.

@ebryes. I cant code but the thought that just came to my mind is maybe, if its not hard or time consuming you could have cover art become something like a theme engine for emby where you can also tweak otjer parts of emby including the home screen. I am still asking as a feature if doable the ability alter all the DVD covers on the home screen lile.we can do in each individual library.
