[Feature Request] Have an option to NOT show artwork on the idle screen

Open SteveDinn opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug

Normally, when you attach to a Chromecast, JF shows artwork from random movies and shows. Sometimes this can be inappropriate content. My kids watch stuff using JF, and due to the rating filter, they don't see stuff they shouldn't, but they can see R-rated movie artwork via the Chromecast.

I'd love to have some sort of option (perhaps globally) where the artwork can be shut off altogether. I know this sounds super boring :)

I think one good way of approaching this is to toggle libraries to grab backdrops from.

@SteveDinn I think there's already a filter for content rated 12+. I'm in the phone so I can't check it right now, but I would say it's in master. Don't know what the behaviour with content without rating is.

This should be configurable of course at some point.

@ferferga I don't particularly want to see artwork from my kids' shows either :)

There's a PG-13 limit, so one should make an effort to tag the correct ratings.

In the code, some hardcoded values that could possibly be exposed are:

  • backdrop interval, 0 to disable
  • backdrop max parental rating
