Themes or plugins to enhance music playback experience - sihorrocks - 2023-06-27
Recently transferred by music library to jellyfin and am finding the music playback and library very vanilla. It's just artist picture in the top level and album covers in the artist level.
Are there any good plugins to enhance the music library? That use banner images, artist information, upcoming gigs or more? Something more akin to the Kodi or streaming platform experience?
I've done a fair bit of googling but am drawing a blank. For reference I do actually like the default library system for tv and movies.

I don’t know of anything really but it would be good to include some example screenshots of what you are looking for.

Thanks for the reply, I have some examples of artist and album information displayed on the artists library or playback pages - not saying I want a kodi clone, but looking for something that includes artist images, artist bio, cover images from fanart etc to create something better than the vanilla, here's just the album covers from the artist on the artist pages - I wish I could code it myself but I am too old and too time poor for that!

FYI, the top three links don't work and the bottom one only works if you open in new tab.

Well that was dumb, they worked well for me. I'll try again by downloading the art and reupping. Was working off a secure work laptop that won't allow me to upload files

Sorry took me a little while to reply, I have some images of examples for how views could look via kodi which seems more mature in this area
- Artist view with metadata desc and albums listed
- Album view with description
- Song playback with fanart and album art
I have worked on the periphery of software and website development many times, but never down the coding level, more in the project sponsor or commissioning space - I wish I could write the CSS to do it myself, but I would only be of use in defining wireframes for the various views, and testing the functionality. Would love to work with someone on the CSS to really improve the music listening and playback experience in JellyFin and make it at least half as good as the TV and movie watching experience.
Havenn't been able to find anything like this out there myself for jellyfin's music playback
