Plugin: EmbyBanner

[yocker 1318]

Very simple little plugin.
Customize the new banner feature in the Emby server beta.

Cycle between messages - It's not a live cycle so requires reload of mainpage.
Show Movie, Show, Episode, Video count.
Show latest movie and/or TV show.
Add Emojis (for what ever reason ) 

Can look into adding more if people want it.

ONLY WORKS WITH EMBY SERVER BETA!!

Can be found at: yocksers/EmbyBanner.

Hello, I have been looking for a plugin like this to display messages. I have installed version 4.10.0.5 beta, but unfortunately, nothing is appearing. Could you help me figure out why the messages aren't showing up?

Write something in this setting in Emby to activate, then use the plugin.

Thank you very much, I'm looking for the plugin and it works.

It would be great to be able to add a clickable link, for example a PayPal or Buy Me Coffee link.

That's an interesting idea. But, from reading other posts about external links, it seems that Emby are generally not in favor of this because of potential security risks. Would still be nice to have though.

Perhaps a variation of this would be to have an internal links option, to be able to direct people straight to the relevant Emby server page that the banner may be promoting. I have no idea if this poses the same security issues???

I will add a donate button a little later.  
Please note that while i appreciate it A LOT, you don't have to donate and it is only if you really want to.

@yockerI think he wants to link to his Paypal / Buy Me Coffee account so people can pay him, for sharing his server.

Not sure though

Ahh, that could be.
Not used to people making a request like that.  

Don't think the Emby Banner supports links so will not be possible.

Well you can type in anything but its just shown a text.

Using the normal way without your plugin.

Here is a example off html link to this forum thread. 

<a href="https://emby.media/community/topic/146753-plugin-embybanner/#comment-1511552">link text</a>

So I guess you will not be able to insert any link in that text field, not even using html.

Yeah i had a feeling that would be the case.
Thanks for testing.

Tbh a donate link there would be too much of a pirate netflix service to me anyway.

I agree and that should not be added !!

Even if you could

[visproduction 322]

You could add a QR code image, perhaps as part of a larger promotional image, either in the banner on the home page or an image in the login page.  My theme in CSS offers these type of images, as well as the other CSS style themes.  The user would just point a phone camera at the code and go wherever you like to send them.

@visproductionhow does this pertain to the text field that this plugin uses in Emby?

[visproduction 322]

You are correct it does not relate to the text field.  WDPR asked for a clickable link.  The QR code is an alternate method to get that link.

Indeed, I have a small private community on my server, and they will help me with the funding for upgrading the hardware (HDD, RAM, etc.).
