Blurred Background

[RS43 35]

Hi,

 

Any plans for upcoming releases to have the option for blurred backgrounds?

 

Thanks

Hi, blurred where exactly?

[RS43 35]

Hi Luke,

 

Image backgrounds when in movies or series section.

 

When I choose Apple TV theme on my android mobile, this is working. However on Nvidia Shield the same theme is just showing the grey background making it difficult to read the text in pre play screens

[Luke 42078]

We've tried to do this in the past and it hasn't been received very well. Is the background just too bright for you?

[RS43 35]

Yes the background of Apple TV is too bright making the text difficult to read, especially in pre play screen. The default Dark mode is in my opinion too dark and with movies with dark posters this does not look great in my opinion.

Hi.  Are you talking about on an Apple TV device or using that theme in Android TV?

[RS43 35]

The Apple TV theme is available on Emby App on Nvidia Shield

[ebr 16184]

Okay, yes you're right.  That theme probably does let just a little too much of the backdrop through.

 

Thanks.

Thanks, any fix for this available?

 

Cheers

Please don't start again trying to get backgrounds to disappear. They're meant to be be seen, not hidden behind some fog or graduated into oblivion.

This can be added as an option in my opinion, either on or off and keeping everyone happy

[arrbee99 1815]

Absolutely. I'd add a few more as well re backgrounds and graduation and blur and display posters (or not), maybe a back and white theme, but guess it can start to get complicated

[RS43 35]

This gets complicated When backgrounds are enabled it is sometimes difficult to navigate into movies/series section. When default theme is on without backgrounds it looks like the 'brightness' of the screen is too 'dark' at daylight.

Oh well, guess there isn't a 100% one size fits all perfect background. As you say, even no background can have issues. Maybe some nice rainbow coloured buttons...
