I have a couple bug fixes marked down to work on..  But waiting for life to slow down before I will have time to work on it.  But other than a bug or two, it's pretty much complete.

I've notice that when I first sign into Emby that items at the top are missing. If I reload the page they appear. 

It's not a huge issue just a minor annoyance. My on the 4.11.0.6 Linux beta.

I see that, seems the Devs changed some things.  I know I fixed that before.  There are a couple other issues I've spotted in the latest stable version I want to address but might wait a version or two as I also think there's a couple Emby bugs / inconstancies and want to see how those get resolved first.

Updates:

• Resolved issue with header spacing for spotlight when no banner text was given with latest Emby release.
• Resolved issue with the top header not appearing when first logging in with the latest Emby release.

Section 1 Changes:

If you customized your CSS, you could keep your section 1 and just update section 2 on down. but here are the important things that were added or changed so you can modify accordingly. 

• Changed default value of  "--header-content-padding"  from 45px to 90px  (This may change again, just a quick fix for now)

Good idea to wait cause I just had to roll back to version 44.11.0.6 to get rid of a bug I could not get rid of on 4.11.0.8. all's good now, but will be filing a bug report on it.

Hi

I’m putting the link in the "Custom CSS" box, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? I haven’t been able to find a YouTube video that shows how to do it.

Mr.D
Try putting the entire text of the CSS in Custom CSS box.  Links do not work.

Hi

OK Sometimes there are two different files to download—CSS and text. Which one should be copied into the CSS box? Is anything else required, and how is the function activated?

[IAmHugh 100]

You want to copy all the txt from the css file and paste it in Emby's css box under general, then click save. The one that uses links is Jellyfin.

[MrDTS 1]

I’ve tried it, but nothing happens ? No further settings needed—it should start on its own ?

[MrDTS 1]

It works now. Thanks.

Next problem: how do you make it look the same on the TV and the Nvidia Shield?

[arrbee99 1924]

You can't. CSS is for a browser only.

But under themes that come in the TV app there is a decent blue one. I switched to it a few weeks back and it is easier on the eyes.

[MrDTS 1]

Okay, that’s a shame—mostly for the Nvidia side, since that’s what I’ll be using the most. The computer I’m looking at this on won’t be used once everything is installed, so that’s a pity.

[MrDTS 1]

I’ve ordered an Nvidia shild pro, so I haven’t been able to check things with it yet.

[arrbee99 1924]

Oh well don't forget there's two apps to try, the Android app and the Android TV app, plus a few others if you're feeling adventurous.

Hi,

On my Emby server I was changing the CSS by hand every season. I came up with a small plugin so it happens on its own: CSS Saison. It switches Branding Custom CSS by date.

Aleas’ multi-season themes are what made me want to build it. Thanks to him for the great work. The plugin was written with AI.

Everything is explained here: https://github.com/ppo852/emby-css-saison
