[enhancement] Option to disable banner slideshow

[skittlesvampir]

When connecting jellyfin via chromecast, jellyfin plays a slideshow of random movie and show banners until a movie/episode is selected.

Would it maybe be possible to implement something that disables this so that other people can't see what's in my library?

This enhancement would be great. My use case for this is that Jellyfin contains, apart from our entire movie library, movies for our (young) children. I would like to avoid to let them see e.g. banners of Jurassic Parc or Underworld, which are not really appropriate for smaller children.

Hi guys, you can disable that slideshow in the user settings. I provided a step by step here.

@rzm25 thanks for highlighting, but I think your steps cover Jellyfin app for Chromecast, right? In my origin usecase, I stream to Chromecast using Stream button in Jellyfin on my Android device, not using Jellyfin Chromecast App (because we had not Chromecast with Application support).

For myself, I found a new solution (we bought a Chromecast with Application support which enables me to use a different user without access to all movies).

Ah very nice. Thanks for clarifying
