Mediabrowser issues with the picture player

Dear Team,

1. When I scroll down a folder with some pictures and I click on a picture it jumps back to top in the background.
The selected picture is shown correctly and fast, but as soon as I exit the picture player I have to scroll down again.
Which is pretty annoying while scrolling and looking at some selected pictures.
Is this a local bug, or a known issue? Can this be fixed?

2. Further I can not see any filenames when I click on a picture and the picture player opens up. This makes it hard to select (and note i.e. for printing) images. Can I see the filemame somewhere?
3. The Mediabrowser runs locally on port 23524 via https but has no valid certificate. Can I put a valid certificate somewhere into serviio (self-signed but trusted by my devices) or can I just force http somewhere?

I searched a lot in the forum for similar threads, but found no good matches.
I also looked at the log file but there are no unusual entries.
Using version 1.10.1

Zip will have to answer the first question. My guess (and that's all it is), is that it's something he overlooked and can probably resolve it.

If you use port 23424, then you use HTTP instead of HTTPS, and there's no certificate issue. If you're only connecting within your home network, there's really no need for using HTTPS. I can understand the desire for it with external connections, however. Zip will have to answer about any ability to add your own certificate to Serviio for HTTPS.

Ah yeah, okay. So I will just use 23424 (thats also whats written here https://serviio.org/mediabrowser) for my home-network. Because I had some certificate issues with ServiiGo (Android).
For external Usage Im using a reverse-proxy with an valid certificate. So this point is clear. Thanks atc98092 :)

Would it help to update to Version 2.0 or is the Mediabrowser the same codebase?

Well, it's certainly been updated to support user accounts, but as far as playback functionality, I can't say if MB has been updated at all. I rarely use it, as I have great playback support using my Shield or Roku devices.

Ah okay. I'm using it mainly for browsing photos on a Computer. As even RAW Pictures (20MB+) are displayed very fast.

If anyone knows an alternative for browsing photos that quick I would be very thankful.
