pir8radio 1312 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 the new "loading" screen is kind of cheesy... I like the spinning icon better... Seemed more professional, intentional. On my server the image only pops up for like a second, looks like something went wrong then the video starts... Just my opinion.
pir8radio 1312 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 also what are these "beautiful dynamic images"? I cache all images in my front end proxy, now none of my caching is working??? can i disable this feature???

Did you disable "dynamic images"? http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/20915-media-folder-image/?p=203591

Instead, work with the interface and if the interface doesn't do what you need then lets' talk about that.

In most other situations it will take longer because the video will take more time to buffer.

The images should only be created if the Administrator hasn't set a custom primary and/or thumb image via the Metadata. I think that is how most people would expect it to work. That is how the dynamic images seem to work in Collections. Chances are many new installations will end up keeping them as they are done nicely. ---- As for the loading screen, took me a while to understand what he was talking about. I only see it for a fraction of a second as well but I don't mind it one way or another. If the other apps pick it up, it will be better than staring at a black screen.

However as a administrator, if I override an image than I expect it to be used for all users. I shouldn't have to login and edit every single user to sync images. Have to think about how the customer will use the software to make great software. And even if it is open source, we're still customers. We have to pay for access to specific features. 1

Instead, work with the interface and if the interface doesn't do what you need then lets' talk about that. I don't use dynamic images, they take to long to generate.. slow the interface down a bit.. So the hidden setting is OFF or default. Don't know the root cause or the logistics behind it. However as a administrator, if I override an image than I expect it to be used for all users.

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same problem @@Luke I was worried that this new "feature" would try to rotate cover art or something goofy. Is that not the case? I know after the upgrade the image hashes must have changed? because my front end had to re-cache everything. If i misunderstood, what does this new feature actually do? "beautiful dynamic images"
Latchmor 584 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 If i misunderstood, what does this new feature actually do? "beautiful dynamic images" Hi, it creates images like below but it's a one time hit as far as I know. I haven't tried overriding them as I like them. Cheers
