Enable Backdrops Globally - Ammer Ashraf Emon - 2024-11-03

I love the backdrop feature in Jellyfin. But, is there any way to enable backdrops by default for all users? enableBackdrops:function(){return E} this used to work in v10.9 but after 10.10 this solution no longer works. If anyone knows of any workaround, it would be really helpful.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I changed enableBackdrops:function(){return L} to enableBackdrops:function(){return E} and it worked on 10.10.0 (about to update though)

Edit: It works with 10.10.1, it's now change {return R} to {return E} but it works

I was replacing _ With E in my script, so it did not work. Thank you very much.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but is this feature still working in 10.10.7? I have tried replacing the line following a guide online and cant seem to get it to work

@CaptainChip I confirm the method of changing the enableBackdrops:function() in main.jellyfin.bundle.js still works in 10.10.7 Smiling-face-with-sunglasses

enableBackdrops:function(){return R}

has to be changed to:

enableBackdrops:function(){return E}

The change that I performed was at line 2 at character number 324386

For those of you that say it doesn't work, you likely are using a cached version of main.jellyfin.bundle.js somehow. Always verify and confirm it changed by directly loading the file in the browser.

The letter that you change FROM won't stay the same version to version, so don't use that as a guide.

If you need a reliable way to search for what's in your file, you could either search using the fixed string

Code:
'enableBackdrops:function(){return '

or use regex with sed like this:

Code:
sed -n '/enableBackdrops:function(){return \w}/p' main.jellyfin.bundle.js

the \w character class will catch any single letters, numbers, and underscores

or use sed to replace any character not equal to E like this:

Code:
sed -i 's/enableBackdrops:function(){return [^E]}/enableBackdrops:function(){return E}/' main.jellyfin.bundle.js

If using extended regex with sed:

Code:
sed -E -i 's/enableBackdrops:function\(\)\{return [^E]\}/enableBackdrops:function\(\)\{return E\}/' main.jellyfin.bundle.js
