# Overlay Files

Overlay files are used to create and maintain overlays within the Plex libraries on the server.

Overlays and templates are defined within one or more Overlay files, which are linked to libraries in the [Libraries Attribute](../config/libraries.md#overlay-path) within the [Configuration File](../config/configuration.md).

**To remove all overlays add `remove_overlays: true` to the `overlay_path` [Libraries Attribute](../config/libraries.md#remove-overlays).**

**To change a single overlay original image either replace the image in the assets folder or remove the `Overlay` shared label and then PMM will overlay the new image**

These are the attributes which can be used within the Overlay File:

| Attribute                                               | Description                                                                                                        |
|:--------------------------------------------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`templates`](templates)                                | contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays                                       |
| [`external_templates`](templates.md#external-templates) | contains [path types](../config/paths) that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays |
| [`overlays`](#overlays-attributes)                      | contains definitions of overlays you wish to add                                                                   |

* `overlays` is required in order to run the Overlay File.
* Example Overlay Files can be found in the [Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM)

## Overlays Attributes

Each overlay definition requires its own section within the `overlays` attribute.

```yaml
overlays:
  IMDb Top 250:
    # ... builders, details, and filters for this overlay
  4K:
    # ... builders, details, and filters for this overlay
  etc:
    # ... builders, details, and filters for this overlay
```

## Overlay

Each overlay definition needs to specify what overlay to use. This can happen in 3 ways.

1. If there is no `overlay` attribute PMM will look in your `config/overlays` folder for a `.png` file named the same as the mapping name of the overlay definition. This example below would look for `IMDb Top 250.png`.
    ```yaml
    overlays:
      IMDb Top 250:
        imdb_chart: top_movies
    ```
   
2. If the `overlay` attribute is given a string PMM will look in your `config/overlays` folder for a `.png` file named the same as the string given. This example below would look for `IMDbTop.png`.
    ```yaml
    overlays:
      overlay: IMDbTop
      IMDb Top 250:
        imdb_chart: top_movies
    ```
   
3. Using a dictionary for more overlay location options.

| Attribute           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                          | Required |

* If `url`, `git`, and `repo` are all not defined then PMM will look in your `config/overlays` folder for a `.png` file named the same as the `name` attribute.

```yaml
overlays:
  IMDb Top 250:
    overlay:
      name: IMDb Top 250
    imdb_chart: top_movies
```

### Blurring Overlay

There is a special overlay named `blur` that when given as the overlay name will instead of finding the image will just blur the image instead.

You can control the level of the blur by providing a number with the attribute like so `blur(##)`.

```yaml
overlays:
  blur:
    overlay:
      name: blur(50)
    plex_search:
      all:
        resolution: 4K
```

### Text Overlay

You can add text as an overlay using the special `text()` overlay name. Anything inside the parentheses will be added as an overlay onto the image. Ex `text(4K)` adds `4K` to the image.

You can control the font, font size and font color using the `font`, `font_size`, and `font_color` overlay attributes.

The `horizontal_offset` and `vertical_offset` overlay attributes are required when using Text Overlays.

You can add an items rating number (`8.7`) to the image by using `text(audience_rating)`, `text(critic_rating)`, or `text(user_rating)` 

You can add an items rating percentage (`87%`) to the image by using `text(audience_rating%)`, `text(critic_rating%)`, or `text(user_rating%)`

PMM includes multiple fonts in the [`fonts` folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/tree/master/fonts) which can be called using `fonts/fontname.ttf`

```yaml
overlays:
  audience_rating:
    overlay:
      name: text(audience_rating)
      horizontal_offset: 15
      vertical_offset: 15
      font: fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf
      font_size: 200
    plex_all: true
```

**Note: This only adds the text you may want to also add an overlay banner in the same spot.**

## Suppress Overlays

You can add `suppress_overlays` to an overlay definition and give it a list or comma separated string of overlay names you want suppressed from this item if this overlay is attached to the item.

So in this example if the `4K-HDR` overlay matches an item then the `4K` and `HDR` overlays will also match. The `suppress_overlays` attribute on `4K-HDR` will stop the overlays specified (`4K` and `HDR`) from also being applied. 

```yaml
overlays:
  4K:
    plex_search:
      all:
        resolution: 4K
  HDR:
    plex_search:
      all:
        hdr: true
  4K-HDR:
    suppress_overlays:
      - 4K
      - HDR
    plex_search:
      all:
        resolution: 4K
        hdr: true
```

## Builders

Builders use third-party services to source items for overlays. Multiple builders can be used in the same overlay from a variety of sources listed below.

* [Plex Builders](builders/plex)
* [TMDb Builders](builders/tmdb)
* [TVDb Builders](builders/tvdb)
* [IMDb Builders](builders/imdb)
* [Trakt Builders](builders/trakt)
* [Tautulli Builders](builders/tautulli)
* [Radarr Builders](builders/radarr)
* [Sonarr Builders](builders/sonarr)
* [MdbList Builders](builders/mdblist)
* [Letterboxd Builders](builders/letterboxd)
* [ICheckMovies Builders](builders/icheckmovies)
* [FlixPatrol Builders](builders/flixpatrol)
* [Reciperr Builders](builders/reciperr)
* [StevenLu Builders](builders/stevenlu)
* [AniDB Builders](builders/anidb)
* [AniList Builders](builders/anilist)
* [MyAnimeList Builders](builders/myanimelist)

## Details

Only a few details can be used with overlays: `limit`, `show_missing`, `save_missing`, `missing_only_released`, `minimum_items`, `cache_builders`, `tmdb_region`

* [Setting Details](details/setting)
* [Metadata Details](details/metadata)

## Filters

These filter media items added to the collection by any of the Builders.

* [Filters](filters)

    overlay:
      name: 4K    # This will look for a local overlays/4K.png in your config folder
    plex_search:

        resolution: 4K
  HDR:
    overlay:
      name: HDR
      git: PMM/overlays/HDR
    plex_search:
      all:
        hdr: true
