The Citadel tab: browse the Plex, Jellyfin and Emby servers you connected, with their rows, libraries and a full grid.
Beta
This feature is in beta and may change.
The Citadel tab is where the titles from your own media servers live: Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. It sits between Home and Echo in the top bar.
With no server connected, the tab says No media servers connected. Add one in Settings → Media servers. See Media servers.
How it is laid out#
The tab has four levels, one under the other. Each level hides what is above it when you move down.
- The top bar. It disappears when you go into the tab.
- Type pills: Plex, Jellyfin and Emby. Only the types you have a server for are shown.
- The server bar on the left: the servers of the type you chose. When you move into the content it shrinks to a narrow strip. When it is open it also lists the libraries of the server (movies, shows).
- The content: the rows of the chosen server.
Hegemon remembers the type and the server you used last.
Back, or Left from the content or the bar, goes up one level: content → bar → pills → top bar.
The rows#
For the server you chose you see these rows:
- Continue watching
- Up next
- Recently added movies
- Recently added shows
- One row per library of the server, named after the library, in the server's own order.
Rows that are empty, or that the server does not answer, are skipped. If a server has nothing to show yet, the tab says No titles to show yet.
The rows fill in as they load: they appear at once, with the title and the poster from your server, and the details from TMDB are added on the same card a moment later. The cards do not move, so your focus does not jump.
A library row ends with a See all › card that opens the whole library.
The cards#
- A row at rest shows posters at the size used on Home. The row you are on grows to about 1.5×.
- The card in focus shows wide. After about a second and a half it turns over to an info side: title, year, rating, runtime, genres, synopsis, director and cast. This comes from TMDB. The technical details of your server (resolution, audio, subtitles, file size) are not shown yet.
- Press OK to open the title's details, as on Home.
The library grid#
See all › opens the whole library as a grid of posters that scrolls down. More titles load as you get near the end.
At the top you see the library name and three sort pills:
- Recently added
- Title
- Year
Left from the first column goes back to the server bar. Back closes the grid and returns you to the row you came from.
