Screensvaer needs to show movie title - Dreadless - 2024-04-16
I have installed whichever version it is that's needed to run on my Samsung TV running Tizen. I followed the instructions to connect via network. Very easy to do. The server is on a TrueNas system. Jellyfin works a treat.
After a short while, if there is no action, a screensaver kicks in (I guess it's a screensaver). This scrolls through images from the many movies I have. The image changes about every 3 seconds. It'd be nice if that was 5 or even a settable value somewhere. Besides the point; not what I'm after here.
While I recognise many of the movies from their image I don't every time. It would be nice to see the movie (or TV show I suppose) title overlayed on the screen. I have searched for details on this but have not been able to find anything. Apart from one post that mentions there is a title displayed (on the Android version from memory). If there is a title can I just add some custom CSS to make it show up? I do not know the container or class names involved if this is possible.
If there is no title on the screensaver can this be added somewhere or somehow? Maybe that's a feature request. Let me know which subcategory on features to put that if that's the case.
If anyone has a solution to this I would greatly appreciate details. I've only been running Jellyfin about two weeks and I already love it. Apart from this one thing (and no ability to add to a watchlist (not favourites or playlist)).

No solution for you, but I can confirm that the android client does indeed show the movie title.
RE: Screensvaer needs to show movie title - Dreadless - 2024-04-17
If the title is indeed displayed on the Android client is it likely the Tizen client also has the title? I do not know if these are all very different versions or all run from the same base with modifications as necessary for each client environment.
If the title is likely to be there does anyone know what the custom CSS id's or classes might be for the title or it's parent elements? At least that way I can play around with moving it's location or z-index (assuming z-index is supported under Tizen).

The Android version is a web wrapper while the Android TV version is a native Kotlin/Java app. Completely different code bases.

Does anyone know if the Tizen screensaver includes "Title"?
If yes, can anyone let me know what the CSS ID or class names would be so that I can start playing with the styles for the Title.

OK, it goes like this.
Originally I installed JellyFin on my TV using the instructions here (note, if you do this on Windows like me, you need to have Docker for Windows running): https://github.com/Georift/install-jellyfin-tizen It is so easy and works a treat. This, however does not appear to have the Title on the screensaver.
Then I went with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeB5onaKnK4 Lots of issues but I got there in the end. Basically downloading JellyFin-Web from Git (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web (latest build 10.9.0 I think)) so I can edit it if I want to and downloading JellyFin-Tizen from Git (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-tizen). With no editing but just installing on my TV it doesn't work but displays an error about no matching method for Headers(something-or-other). So with a new build I can't get it working.
I reverted to deleting that and reinstalling as per my original version. Which is back up and running easy. No title in the screensaver.
I have tried adding custom CSS against the slideshow component classes. Setting the ".slideshowSwiperContainer" to a height of 80% proved I had the right classes. I could not effect the ".slideText" in any way. Line 431 of slideshow.js "if (item.title || item.subtitle) {" would suggest there is no title. If it is running line 400 to call the "getSwiperSlideShowFromItem(item)" then no title is being set ( which is what I was going to start playing with if I could get it to even work at all).
function getSwiperSlideHtmlFromItem(item) {
return getSwiperSlideHtmlFromSlide({
originalImage: getImgUrl(item, currentOptions.user),
Id: item.Id,
ServerId: item.ServerId,
title: item.title ************* I WOULD ADD THIS LINE TO SEE IF IT FIXED IT *******************
});
}
Does anyone have any ideas? If I could get the latest source to work on my TV maybe I'd be able to fix it myself. Or am I looking at completely the wrong thing in the first place?
