Please don't cut the Description of Movie Posters or Cast Thumbs

[SpaceCowboy1968 3]

Howdy, i did't find a similar posting so here's my request:

The Description of Cast Thumbs or Movie posters is cut when exceeding the limits of the thumb width. I'd like to see the complete description when the thumb or card is selected, wrapped over in an extended card or scrolling through.

Thanks in advance if possible.

Greetings

Hi.  Please provide an example.  Most apps will take advantage of available space.

I don't get it. I'm using Emby Server (premium) on windows and Emby Client on Android/nvidia Shield. When navigating through movies or tv series the space is sometimes insufficient to display the whole movie title or the actor name. Emby client seems not supporting multi line. Theres no hovering in emby client app with using shield as multimedia interface.

Thanks for clarfying this. I tried the solutions mentioned (custom css) in the other thread but it didn't work with the Android app. Neither on my phone nor on my nVidia shield.

By the way on a desktop you can also mouse hover over a title and you should be able to see the whole thing.

Yes, i know. Emby server is installed on a windows machine. When browsing through media i can hover with the mousecursor over. This doesn't work my way: viewing or listening to media with nvidia shield android tv box. I'd like to see whole titles on the Emby client android app too.
