Hey I got this working on PC and android! The GitHub mentions you were live on Android TV (I guess you say tv apps, different one?)? Did you have to adjust that package? My Jellyfin for Android TV isnt showing any changes. Anyhoo, when on TV, for clickability in that iframe, you might need to use the tabindex attribute to allow it to be focused.

Ahh that might explain it I will run a test or two tomorrow

It can be seen on Android TV but not clicked on to force it to be shown just clear the cache on the app or reinstall the app (on android I think it's called clear data for that app) 

Also I'm glad you have it working on pc and android

This is really interesting!
Although I'm confused, how can this be seen in the Android TV app?
From my knowledge, the Android Mobile app is a wrapper for Jellyfin Web while Android TV is a standalone native app with its own codebase

Have you guys checked Vue?: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue

I cant figure out how to install VUE, documentation all 'under construction'

As a newbie. I don't know where to find the avatar folder to paste the slideshow.html . Can someone give me a little guide?

You can install Jellyfin-Vue with the Docker command

Code:

docker run -d -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue

Or even better, as a docker compose file

Code:

name: jellyfin-vue
services:
    jellyfin-vue:
        ports:
            - 8818:80
        image: ghcr.io/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue:unstable
        restart: unless-stopped

Don't think this is the thread to ask that. Maybe make a thread in general questions

Wow sorry for the late reply, this forum is awful when it comes to notifications/logins/design. I hate visiting this website.

Have you by any chance tweaked the Jellyfin (mobile) App for your FireTV to improve the remote support?
I tried using it on my NVIDIA Shield Pro TV (2019) but there's a lot of problems if you try to use the included remote (like not being able to see what is selected, the navigation is not user friendly as it selects items which has lower or higher tabIndex and not the ones you're trying to get to and there's more but I've lost count).

Absolutely, all open source here, but this is your riceball (a solution I've been searching for for like seriously 2 years so i'm happy to help). 

[Clarity here for newcomers] Attached are my 2 files needed to run this - slideshow.html, list.txt (these live in \Jellyfin\Server\jellyfin-web\avatars) after putting them there, go to the /jellyfin-web folder and find the file home-html.randomcharacters.chunk.js, open it with a text editor and insert this line:

<style>.featurediframe { width: 93vw; height: 350px; display: block; border: 0px solid #000; margin: 0 auto; margin-bottom: 40px}</style><iframe class="featurediframe" src="/web/avatars/slideshow.html"></iframe>

directly after data-backdroptype="movie,series,book">. Restart JF and clear browser cache to get it loaded. If you remove list.txt it will pick pseudo-random movies and series. (Randomization could use work)

I tried to fix the missing logo issue 3 different ways - checking for return errors, checking content length, and prefetching images but none worked. Will need fresh eyes later. 

Regarding selection, did you definitely have this line in .slide?  cursor: pointer;

I got it running in my installation (windows). I guess the mobile layout needs bit of tweaking with respect to the plot text. Either by clamping it to specific lines, or somehow just not able to think of the answer. Also, did you manage to find a way out for missing logo or backdrops??

[SethBacon]

Lol that should have said [clarity for future-seth] I forgot how I managed this haha. TLDR I dont have an answer on the missing art atm

Can you tell me are you on the new Jellyfin release?

I think Bob is still working on this over on Github, i get pings occasionally. Maybe hes figured out some of the missing art issues lemme see.. Guess not

https://github.com/BobHasNoSoul/jellyfin-featured

I do see that hes made some updates to work with new version, thats good. (I know thats not what youre asking, Im writing most of this for future seth. what are you asking?) ok ok missing art..
We tried a couple different methods before to check that the pulled title had art and it never worked for me. Ill have some time to look further into this in june I think.

Regarding the text I can probably help, I think I chose that length as a compromise between desktop and phone screens and the length of the <plot> tags in my nfos. I What did you want to change?

I am fairly new to the Ubuntu and Jellyfin world so apologies if this is something really obvious, but I am using Ubuntu Server to run Jellyfin and think I have got everything in right as I can see the IFrame outline but when I try to run step 8 on github "save the file and run it in the ubuntu window via ./make.sh -p -l userfavorites.txt -h "TEXT FOR TITLE HERE"" it says required file not found and if ran as sudo it says no such file or directory
Any help with this would be really appreciated.
