Can't you get genre on your home screen?

Hi, what exactly are you trying to do?

[DixiBoy 0]

I would like this as my homescreen

HI, there is currently no way to do that. Perhaps in the future with smart views/playlists, but we'll see how that shakes out.

The ability to pin anything (genres, collections, playlists ...) to the home screen is very interesting. This is an example of Infuse connected to Emby with a playlist (Featured), the genre list (Por género) and the collection list (Colecciones) pinned to the home screen.

Are those your genre images?

So are you saying you want all content mixed per their genre?

Yes, in this example all movies from different libraries are grouped by genre (let's say a smart list of all movies grouped by genre). In a more general way, it would be cool to define a smart list and be able to pin it grouping by some criteria. Let's say, a playlist of all the films of the western genre, pinned to the home screen, grouped by decade.

They are autogenerated by Infuse, because there are different grouping criteria, Genre, Decade, Ratings... And in Emby there is not the image of all the grouping criteria.

But genre would include TV and any other content type you may have.

But yes from a smart playlist you could specify content type.

Autogenerated based on your content? Or do the genre images just show random content?

Based on the content. Example, "Lord of the Rings" belongs to the genre "Acción".  I guess it chooses a random image of backdrop type of a random movie in the group.
