Dedicated Spotlight Image Type for homepage

[Smitty018210 190]

I’d like to request a dedicated image type for the new Spotlight section on the Emby home page.

At the moment, Spotlight uses the existing fanart/background image for an item. In many cases that works, but the best image for a normal background is not necessarily the best image for a large Spotlight banner.

It would be useful if Emby supported a separate Spotlight image, for example:

spotlight.jpg
spotlight.png

If a Spotlight image exists, Emby would use it for that item in the Spotlight section. If one does not exist, Emby could simply fall back to the current fanart/background image.

This would allow users to choose a different image that they feel is better suited for how the item appears in Spotlight, while leaving the existing background artwork unchanged.

Mock Up Below: 



Emby's backend services would send request to image providers for background/fanart images.
