Overlay Files
Overlay Files holds information on how Plex Meta Manager should create Overlays. There are a large number of builders available to build Overlays,
Overview
This example is an Overlay file with a basic overlay which is saved in a file called MyOverlays.yml
within the location mapped as config
in my setup.
This specific example will target items in my library with a 4K resolution and will add an overlay with text that says "Direct Play" located at the bottom of the poster in the center.
???+ tip "Example Overlay"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
overlays: #(1)!
directplay:
overlay:
name: text(Direct Play) #(2)!
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 150
vertical_align: bottom
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_padding: 30
plex_search: #(3)!
all:
resolution: 4K
```
1. This must appear once and **only once** in any Overlay file
2. This tells PMM to use text as the overlay rather than an image
3. This is the criteria that PMM will use to define what should receive the overlay
Here is an example of how the Overlay will look
![myoverlays_example.png](images/myoverlays_example.png)
For the purpose of this example, we are going to save the File as MyOverlays.yml
within the location mapped as config
in our setup.
I then call "MyOverlays.yml" in my Configuration File within the Overlay_files
section
???+ example "config.yml Example Overlay File Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
libraries:
Movies: #(1)!
remove_overlays: false
overlay_files:
- file: config/MyOverlays.yml #(2)!
```
1. This must match the name of a library in your Plex server
2. `config` refers to the location that you mapped to `config` when following the PMM Installation Guides.
???+ example "config.yml Example Collection File Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
libraries:
Movies: #(1)!
Overlay_files:
- file: config/MyOverlays.yml #(2)!
```
1. This must match the name of a library in your Plex server
2. `config` refers to the location that you mapped to `config` when following the PMM Installation Guides.
Whenever I execute Plex Meta Manager and the Movies library is run, MyOverlays.yml will run and my "Direct Play" overlay will appear on all items with a 4K resolution.
File Attributes
Overlay Files can utilize the following top-level attributes
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
templates |
contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple Overlays |
external_templates |
contains file blocks that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays |
overlays |
contains definitions of Overlays you wish to add to one or more libraries |
- Example Files can be found in the Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository
Overlay Understandings
???+ danger "Important Notes"
When using overlays, there is some knowledge that you should be aware of at all times. This is outlined below.
Failure to understand all of these points may cause issues when utilizing Overlays.
All overlay coordinates assume 1000 x 1500 for Posters and 1920 x 1080 for Backgrounds and Title Cards.
All overlays should be in a format that is supports transparency should it be required (i.e. PNG)
If an overlay is not 1000 x 1500 or 1920 x 1080 in size, you will need to use positional attributes to specify where on the base poster the Overlay should be. This is exampled in Overview
Although Overlays are modular in that you can pick and choose what you would like to apply, each overlay you want to apply must be executed in the same Plex Meta Manager run and should not be scheduled, this will result in overlays that are not scheduled to run being deleted.
- For example, you cannot schedule a "4K Resolution" overlay to only apply on a Monday and a "Direct Play" overlay to only apply on a Tuesday. This will not work, both overlays must be scheduled to run at the same time.
Plex Meta Manager and Plex will not remove old Overlaid images from the Plex file structure or database when new updates are available. On large libraries, this can often result in Image Bloat.
- We recommend you read more about this and the solution on the Plex Image Cleanup page.
There is an attribute called reapply_overlays
which, when set to true, will force overlays to reapply even when it is not necessary to do so [overlays only update when something has changed, this bypasses that behaviour]. This will increase how long Plex Meta Manager takes to run and will also result in Image Bloat.
- Ensure
reapply_overlays
is set tofalse
if you see it in your Configuration File. If it has previously been set to true we recommend using Plex Image Cleanup to get rid of the bloat.
To remove all overlays from your library, add the remove_overlays
library attribute set to true
.**
- See the above note on Plex Meta Manager not removing the overlaid images, this is still true here.
???+ danger "Important Notice"
Once you have applied overlays to your posters in Plex, it is highly recommended that you never change artwork on a thing directly in Plex again. PMM uses labels on the items in Plex to decide if an overlay has been applied, so if you change artwork behind PMM's back things can become confused and items can end up with double-overlaid posters. It's recommended to set new artwork using the asset directory, which will ensure that this doesn't happen.
**To change a single overlay original image either remove the `Overlay` shared label and update the Image in Plex or replace the image in the assets folder and then PMM will overlay the new image**
Overlay Attributes
Overlay Files can utilize the following top-level attributes
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
templates |
contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays |
external_templates |
contains file blocks that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays |
queues |
contains the positional attributes of queues |
overlays |
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
There are multiple types of attributes that can be utilized within an overlay:
Example Files
Below is a common Overlay File which will create an Overlay for all items which have a 4K resolution.
To get you started, Plex Meta Manager includes three files for Overlays - 4K, Dolby and HDR.
overlays:
4K:
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
I can then layer another Overlay for items which have HDR.
Plex Meta Manager will apply Overlays in the order they are defined in the file, so my HDR overlay appears on top of my 4K overlay in this scenario.
overlays:
4K:
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
HDR:
plex_search:
all:
hdr: true

attribute.
Positional Image Overlays
Positional overlays can be of any size and use horizontal_offset
, horizontal_align
, vertical_offset
, and vertical_align
to position the overlay on the image.
???+ tip
This overlay example uses one of the [PMM Default Overlay](../defaults/overlays.md) images, which isn't necessary but is used just for this example.
overlays:
IMDB-Top-250:
imdb_chart: top_movies
overlay:
name: IMDB-Top-250
pmm: ribbon/yellow/imdb.png
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: right
vertical_offset: 0
vertical_align: bottom
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(##)
.
overlays:
blur:
overlay:
name: blur(50)
builder_level: episode
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
Backdrop Overlay
There is a special overlay named backdrop
that when given as the overlay name will instead of finding the image will just apply the background instead.
You can set the size of the backdrop with back_width
and back_height
. By Default, they will extend the length of the Image.
overlays:
backdrop:
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
This example could be useful if you want to have a black banner, and then use a Text Overlay to add text on top.
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.
You can control the backdrop of the text using the various back_*
attributes.
The horizontal_offset
and vertical_offset
overlay attributes are required when using Text Overlays.
PMM includes multiple fonts in the fonts
folder which can be called using fonts/fontname.ttf
overlays:
backdrop:
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
mytext:
overlay:
name: text(This Movie Is Awesome)
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 30
vertical_align: top
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
plex_all: true
Note that we have built up on our backdrop overlay that we created in our previous example
Special Text Variables
You can use the item's metadata to determine the text by adding Special Text Variables to your text Overlay.
There are multiple Special Text Variables that can be used when formatting the text. The variables are defined like so <<name>>
and some can have modifiers like so <<name$>>
where $
is the modifier. The available options are:
Special Text Variables & Mods | Movies | Shows | Seasons | Episodes |

???+ tip
You can use the `mass_audience_rating_update` or `mass_critic_rating_update` [Library Operation](../config/operations.md) to update your plex ratings to various services like `tmdb`, `imdb`, `mdb`, `metacritic`, `letterboxd` and many more.

Special Text Modifiers
Some Special Text attributes (such as ratings) have modifiers which control how they are output. This is detailed in the above table.
Using the above example for the Critic Rating overlay, I now want to display the rating as "out of 5 stars" instead of "out of 10", so I will use the /
modifier on my <<critic_rating>>

Runtime: 1h 30m |
Text Addon Images
You can add an image to accompany the text by specifying the image location using file
, url
, git
, or repo
.
Use addon_offset
to control the space between the text and the image.
Use addon_position
to control which side of the text the image will be located on.
???+ tip
This overlay example uses one of the [PMM Default Overlay](../defaults/overlays.md) images, which isn't necessary but is used just for this example.
overlays:
rating_with_logo:
overlay:
name: text(audience_rating)

plex_all: true
Overlay Groups
Overlay groups are defined by the name given to the group
attribute. Only one overlay with the highest weight per group will be applied.
This is an example where the Multi-Audio overlay will be applied over the Dual-Audio overlay for every item found by both.
overlays:
Dual-Audio:
overlay:
name: Dual-Audio
pmm: images/Dual-Audio
group: audio_language
weight: 10
horizontal_offset: 0

horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 15
vertical_align: bottom
plex_all: true
filters:
audio_language.count_gt: 2
Overlay Queues
Overlay queues are defined by the name given to the queue
attribute. The overlay with the highest weight is put into the first queue position, then the second highest is placed in the second queue position and so on.
You can define the queue positions by using the queues
attribute at the top level of an Overlay File. You can define as many positions as you want.
queues:
custom_queue_name:
- horizontal_offset: 300 # This is the first position
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 1375
vertical_align: top
- horizontal_offset: 300 # This is the second position
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 1250
vertical_align: top
overlays:
IMDb:
imdb_chart: popular_movies
overlay:
name: text(IMDb Popular)
queue: custom_queue_name
weight: 20
font: fonts/Inter-Medium.ttf
font_size: 65
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_width: 380
back_height: 105

font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_width: 400
back_height: 105
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.
overlays:
4K:
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
HDR:
plex_search:
all:
hdr: true
4K-HDR:
suppress_overlays:
- 4K
- HDR
plex_search:
