Emby Windows screensaver feature

[Mbedford 9]

Am I going blind, or where is the screensaver option to enable now in Emby Windows 2.234.2.0 ?

Im sure it used to be under:

• App Settings.
• Select Display.
  
  and there were options such as:
   
• Off
• Logo
• Backdrops
• Photos

Hi, how does the Emby web app compare?

I use Emby Windows 2.234.2.0 

This is for a big TV living room setup controlled by a logitech harmony remote.

2.234.0 didn't have it, but the new stable 2.310.0 does:

Your Settings look completely different to the ones on my emby Windows app, I get to my settings through the top right little person icon.

• The app in the screenshot has the Windows theme enabled, that's the visual difference
• The app in the screenshot is 2.310.0 which has a different menu order than 2.234.0
• The app in the screenshot is in Desktop mode - if yours is TV mode, that's once another difference (no left panel for settings)

Yes mine is in TV mode, mine is a big 4k TV media center setup in my living room.

So your saying when my windows emby app automatically updates from my 2.234.0 to the new stable 2.310.0, the screensaver option will appear?

Does the Windows app automatically update so I just need to wait for it basically?

Just open the MS Store app and check for updates, then you get it instantly.

I understand that's manually updating it, but does the windows emby app automatically update if you don't do it manually?

That depends on your Windows Store app settings. You can enable or disable it.

Great I just did a manual update and got that 310 version and the screen saver option has appeared, also I see trailers have been fixed as well and they work now again, thanks for your help.
