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)

This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.

Config¶

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_path:
      - pmm: direct_play
  TV Shows:
    overlay_path:
      - pmm: direct_play
      - pmm: direct_play
        template_variables:
          overlay_level: season
      - pmm: direct_play
        template_variables:
          overlay_level: episode

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 is its default value if it has one if not it’s just ignored.

All Shared Overlay Variables are available with the default values below as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

Variable	Default
`horizontal_offset`	`0`
`horizontal_align`	`center`
`vertical_offset`	`150`
`vertical_align`	`bottom`
`back_color`	`#00000099`
`back_radius`	`30`
`back_width`	`305`
`back_height`	`170`

Variable	Description & Values
`overlay_level`	Description: Choose the Overlay Level. Values: `season` or `episode`

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_path:
      - pmm: direct_play
        template_variables:
          overlay_level: episode
