# Direct Play Overlay

The `direct_play` Default Overlay File is used to create an overlay to indicate items that cannot be transcoded and 
instead only support Direct Play (i.e. if you use Tautulli to kill 4K transcoding)

## Requirements & Recommendations

Supported library types: Movie & Show

## Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the overlays:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_files:
      - pmm: direct_play
  TV Shows:
    overlay_files:
      - pmm: direct_play
```

## Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to 
make your own local copy.

Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults 
work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.
