Question: How to turn off theme music on emby web contact home screen

[keithterrill 2]

I have looked and looked and cannot find or maybe do not know how to find the answer to this problem.

 

Overnight the emby web contact client's home screen now has a Halloween Theme background and font which is alright though I do not care for it, but more so it now is playing music which 1) I do not like the selection and 2) I really really do not want any music to play.

 

I cannot find how to turn this off.

 

Help?

 

Thank you

 

Keith

Theme did not disappear.. still there and annoying. It also makes it hard to watch anything as it grays out to fading black the entire screen.

Make sure you are running Emby Server 3.2.35, thanks.

You don't see this?  After changing did you refresh your browser?

I have version 3.2.25. I think there is a bug and that is why I was told to update... it doesn't actually work when I uncheck it in the Display settings. I even tried switching browers after saving and its always checked off..

Is there a way to force emby to autoupdate? I tried searching through the forums and all I see are updates when system is idle or the redownloading emby and reinstalling option, which is just a painful amount of work for a simple thing I would like to see go away.

You're running 3.2.25, or 3.2.35?

The former, I would like to be on the latter.

Okay what browser as I and toggle the theme on and off in Chorme.

 

Okay it maybe versioning issue in your case.

Hi, you can always install the latest version from the Emby website, on top of your existing version:

https://emby.media/download.html

 

Does this answer your question?

Sounds like you are running Emby as a Service so you are required to manually update as the instructions say/  I would shutdown Emby server and run the installer from the download page.

Will this reset all of my existing settings, watched episodes, etc?

No

 

Only if you uninstall everything as most of that info is stored in the library.db.
