1.5.0 - Strange spacing for Episode and Playlist pages

[kiekan88]

Thanks for updating this theme for Jellyfin 10.11.X!

In the release notes for version 1.5.0 it mentions fixing padding under the posters. But this has resulting in extra space on the episode list and playlist pages:

Is this the intended look for these pages?

Is there any way to adjust the spacing and revert these pages to how they were in v1.4.17 (see below)?

This is the intended design, it basically reverts it back to how the theme looked pre-10.11.X

I do agree it looks kinda weird when there isn't much content next to the poster, ie when the description is short or there isn't a track selector

I'll see if there is any way to make it more dynamic depending on the media details. The main goal with moving everything under the poster was to get rid of the empty column below the poster that goes all the way to the bottom of the screen in the default design

For now I would just lock your CSS to v1.4.17 if you prefer the old design, and I'll see if I can figure something out

Sounds good. Thanks for the reply! I do agree that this is kind of a tricky problem to solve.

One idea I have off the top of my head: What if you keep everything center aligned (as it is in v1.4.17) but have the poster for the show/movie/collection/playlist/whatever stationary and have it scroll with the page? This would fill the left column.

For visual reference, I highlighted the part I am suggestion would be stationary with a blue box:

Not sure if this really aligns with the design you were going for, but just wanted throw it out there as an idea. I imagine this would take a little bit of thought, as the cast and "more like this" cards would also need to be shifted to accommodate the poster being stationary and scrolling with the page.

In any case, I really appreciate you taking the time to look at these issues. I will stick with v1.4.17 for the time being, but will keep an eye out for future updates.

Having it scroll is a good idea I hadn't though of. My other idea was to push up the poster, so the bottom always aligns with the bottom of the details to the right of it. That might look weird though, so I'll have to play around with it

Thanks for the theme, I really appreciate the subtle tasteful changes it brings without going overboard.

I do agree that this particular decision requires further thought though. The problem with the whitespace created under a short description is that it's trapped and looks very unnatural. It's also a waste of screen estate. An empty column under the poster, on the other hand, is free flowing and an example of classic magazine / web layout. There is nothing particularly criminal about it.
