Rotating movie poster html page built into emby

[pir8radio 1312]

Hi, this probably isn't something everyone would use, but I think it would be an easy addition to emby.

 

An html page that doesn't require you to be logged in.  All that this page does is shows a full screen movie poster (primary image), waits 5, 10 mins, then shows another randomly from your collection. 

 

The reason for this is i want to hang 2 or 4 old 24" wide screen lcd monitors vertically on my home theater room wall.. and let each one randomly show my movie collection..  Much like the light box movie posters at a commercial move theater...    

 

Might not be something many people are interested in... But would be cool for the home theater peeps..

If you are using Kodi as your player then this maybe of interest

I'm not currently using Kodi, (emby does everything I need)  but I don't see why i couldn't just for the movie poster!  I'll also see if it has a direct plugin for emby.  Thanks guys!

I think such a solution still needs to log in.  Otherwise who's library do you show and restricted to what content?  You might not want all your movie posters up on the wall...

No need for kodi

Well started messing around with the movieposter app, but it doesnt take into account what you have in your collection..  I want to rotate my movie collection posters..  All movieposter app does is displays what is currently playing, "Coming Soon" movies, and what you put in by hand...  I don't really want to add a movie poster manually every time i add movies to my collection...   But thanks for the suggestions, i'm a little closer... it gives me something to start with!
