This project enhances the visual appeal and functionality of the Emby web interface by adding a custom carousel to the home page. The carousel dynamically displays the latest movies with a smooth fade transition that blends seamlessly into the Emby background. Additionally, this project ensures that the carousel's header remains transparent and overlays the carousel content effectively.
- Added a Custom Carousel
Integrated a carousel at the top of the home page to showcase the latest movies. Configured the carousel to auto-play, change slides every 60 seconds, and include navigation dots. Ensured the carousel images have rounded corners and a smooth fade transition into the Emby background.
- Adjusted Header Position
Positioned the Emby header to overlay the carousel content. Made the header background transparent to enhance the visual integration with the carousel.
- Enhanced Readability
Applied a shadow to the header buttons to ensure readability over the carousel images.
- Expect Bugs. I know on mobile the carousel doesn't load, and at times hitting Home will also fail to load the carousel
