The `ratings` Default Overlay File is used to create an overlay based on the Critic Rating, Audience Rating, and User Rating in Plex for each item within your library.
This file only updates the overlays based on the data in Plex, it will not pull the ratings directly from any third-party website, see recommendations below for more info.
Requirements: Template Variables must be configured, otherwise this file will not apply any overlays.
Recommendations: Use the [Mass * Rating Update Library Operation](../../config/operations.md#mass--rating-update) and the [Mass Episode * Rating Update Library Operation](../../config/operations.md#mass-episode--rating-update) to update Plex to the Ratings you want on the Overlay.
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 is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.
All [Shared Overlay Variables](../overlay_variables.md) are available with the default values below as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file. These can be prepended with `rating1_`, `rating2_`, or `rating3_` to change that attribute on each rating individually.
???+ warning
To amend `horizontal_offset` and `vertical_offset` you **must** prepend the variable with `rating1_`, `rating2_`, or `rating3_`
