We had several similar request for feature like this, but devs seems dont care really much about it.

It would be cool if you had in the system of sending a message the option to send to all users only or not type the system asks if at the time of sending the message you want to send to all or only one server user

You guys mean, like a Messages Plugin that waits for users to log on and sends them a popup message from the Admin? Like this one here?...

 

Messages.zip

 

 

Please let me know if this version of the Messages Plugin works with the new emby server releases.

 

I might have to do a little bit extra work on it.

any way to post "news" at emby?

Hello emby :-)

 

this is my first post, so I hope I don't do anything wrong.

 

 

Sometimes, a lot of times lately, I whish for a simple yet sustainable way to let my user know something has happened. To present news to them, to write them a messsage, write a (non fancy) blog post. Yes, I know about the messaging system, which is fine, but this is not what I imagined. Yes, I know about a website I could put in front of emby, but thats not the unauthenicated end embedded way I'd like to have.

 

It seems to be surprisingly hard to let my users know about news. Just like a simple "News Post" Block on the start page. I find it nearly impossible to write messages to my (quite nice number of) users, who are originating from different countries around the world with different time zones. It's almost impossible to reach out to them when they are online. As the privacy respecting tvdeew I am, I don't have E-Mail adresses and some of them even share their account.

 

So, would it be possible top have a 'quick and easy' text block for the front page?

I have been redirected here by "ebr", on of the board admins, from my original post - requesting a simple Text content block on the web page. Sadly without any explanation.

 

I am not quite sure how this helps; can anybody enlighten me?

@@tvdeew apologies, he only meant to merge your topic with an existing feature request. Thanks for the feedback.

[kikinjo 281]

Happy 5 years "this is planned for future, thanks"

[tvdeew 4]

Oh, okay, thanks @@kikinjo that explains a lot to me.

 

Wait a Moment, five Years? For a (more or less) simple feature, requested by (at least) 20 users (in this thread alone)? Sounds like a lot of time for such a thing. Or it's a lot more complex than I am thinking right now.

 

Maybe one of us should just start writing aplugin for that ...

Compared to other topics this is not even remotely getting enough support to get on top of the to do list I would guess. From what I can tell few users are interested in it so it wouldn't make sense to start implementing this over all of the other requests.

[tvdeew 4]

Hmm, but maybe just for my personal use :-) Is there any documentation on how to begin with plugins?

[KobayashiM 27]

The following CSS snippet places text at the top of the home page underneath the menu. However, since updating to v4.5.4.0 it stopped working. I'm not sure if due to the update or other CSS scripts I have implemented:

/*--- Announcement text at top of home page ---*/

.verticalSection.section0:before {
   height: 300 px
    content: "Announcement text goes here";
    left: 40vw;
    position: relative;
    font-size: 150%;
    color: red;
}

If room, maybe some sort of ticker system on the home screen (bit like what you see when watching a news channel)

Anyway, +1 for me

Only thing wrong with that code is it is missing a semi-colon for Height.

/*--- Announcement text at top of home page ---*/

.verticalSection.section0:before {
    height: 300px;
    content: "Announcement text goes here";
    left: 40vw;
    position: relative;
    font-size: 150%;
    color: red;
}

Thank you!. I don't know anything about CSS, but everyone is so helpful.

This is exactly what I needed.

Is there a way to center it so when I say " Shut Down Monday for Maintenance" it's not shoved off to the side?

Sorry I don't quite follow, but you could do something like this.  Minor changes removing height, left and add display and justify-content.

.verticalSection.section0:before {
    content: "Shut Down Monday for Maintenance";
    position: relative;
    font-size: 150%;
    color: red;
    justify-content: center;
    display: flex;

I think it's the "relative" which I couldn't figure.

Thank you so much for helping a newbie at CSS.

You've been incredibly kind.
