Turn off backround / poster prior video playback - SEBDM101 - 2025-02-24

Hi everyone,

does anybody know how to turnoff the display of the backound picture as fullscreen while buffering for video playback?
I tried in deleting the *backround.jpg from metadata. But that removes the backround completely beforehand and the poster picture gets displayed while buffering instead.
I simply would like to get a blackscreen / nothing prior starting the movie.
Already searched through the settings as well as any hint in this forum.
Hope someone can help.

Thanks! Smiling-face

There is no settings in Jellyfin that allow for this.
Maybe with CSS, but I don't know how that would be done.

Your best bet would be to ask for this as a feature request.
Just search first to see if it doesn't already exist: https://features.jellyfin.org/
