# Ratings Overlays 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. 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. **This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.** **If no template variables are set this file will do nothing.** ![](images/ratings_overlay.png) ## Config The below YAML in your config.yml will create the overlays: ```yaml Movies: overlay_path: - pmm: ratings template_variables: rating1: critic rating2: audience rating3: user rating1_image: imdb rating2_image: rt_popcorn rating3_image: tmdb operations: mass_critic_rating_update: imdb mass_audience_rating_update: mdb_tomatoesaudience mass_user_rating_update: tmdb TV Shows: overlay_path: - pmm: ratings template_variables: rating1: critic rating2: audience rating3: user rating1_image: imdb rating2_image: rt_popcorn rating3_image: tmdb - pmm: ratings template_variables: overlay_level: episode rating1: critic rating2: audience rating1_image: imdb rating2_image: tmdb operations: mass_critic_rating_update: imdb mass_audience_rating_update: mdb_tomatoesaudience mass_user_rating_update: tmdb mass_episode_critic_rating_update: imdb mass_episode_audience_rating_update: tmdb ``` ## 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 `templates_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) are available with the default values below as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file. All [Shared Overlay Variables](../overlay_variables) can be appended by `rating1_`, `rating2_`, or `rating3_` to change that attribute on each rating individually. | Variable | Default | |:--------------------|:-----------:| | `horizontal_offset` | `200` | | `horizontal_align` | `right` | | `vertical_offset` | `15` | | `vertical_align` | `top` | | `back_color` | `#00000099` | | `back_radius` | `30` | | `back_width` | `105` | | `back_height` | `105` | | `back_padding` | `15` | | `back_radius` | `30` | | `back_height` | `105` | | Variable | Description & Values | |:-----------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `rating1` | **Description:** Choose the rating to display in rating1.
