Media Server Widget loading animation color can be distracting #1894

Open 19980202yyq opened 4 months ago

Environment

Docker

Version

0.14.6

Describe the problem

First I want to say I love homarr! My instance runs on unraid. I have setup Plex and Jellyfin intergration with the dashboard, and the Media server Widget reports the current playbacks just fine. However, the icons (Plex and jellyfin) on the bottom right of the widget periodically blinks orange, which from what I understand indicates homarr cannot reach them. Upon further investigation I found that the blinking corresponds to some network call related to the media server widget, I have uploaded a video sample. I suspect this is due to the time waiting for server response judging by the waterfall chart for the network calls (Screenshot attached as well). Is there a way to make this blinking behavior go away? It's kind of distracting.

Logs

There is no error logging for this issue from unraid docker logs.

Hello, thanks for your issue. This color shows that the client is attempting to load data from your application. This is expected behaviour but maybe we could choose a different color or show a loading animation on the icon instead.

Hello, thanks for your issue. This color shows that the client is attempting to load data from your application. This is expected behaviour but maybe we could choose a different color or show a loading animation on the icon instead.

I see, my mistake - the color for no connection is red, not orange.

Is having the orange color (Or a loading sign) for loading data really needed though? I suspect most users have their media servers and homarr running within the same network. In such case fetching the data should be pretty quick even if there's a lot of streams on both plex and jellyfin. As a result the indicator would only change for an instant before changing back. The exception is one user having a homarr dashboard pointing to the jellyfin instance of another user over WAN. In which case it may take longer but ultimately it would succeed.

My proposal: Could we add the option in the media server widget setting to disable this behavior?
