Pejamas 45 Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 Poster Overlay GUI A simple Windows Forms application that allows users to add 4K Ultra HD Banners to their movie posters. About: Firstly, I know that we have the coverart plugin but I prefer having a cleaner look with multiple options for my 4k library. I started making this app a few weeks ago with absolutely zero knowledge in coding, this entire project was built through using chatgpt to guide me into building, modifying and editing the code through lots of trial and error. I'm more than open to suggestions to improve and or add to the project (such as more banner options etc). Features: Choose from multiple overlay images (4k Ultra HD, with HDR, with DV, With HDR and IMAX and with DV and Imax) Preview the combined result Save the resulting image as a new file How to Use: Download and extract the PosterOverlay_v1.0.0.zip file from github. Run the PosterOverlay.exe file to launch the application. Click on the "Select Poster" button to choose the base image (poster). Use the dropdown box to select an overlay image. Preview the result in the main window. Click "Save Poster" to save the resulting image to your computer. Prerequisites: .NET 6.0 Runtime is required to run the application. Please download and install the appropriate version for your operating system. GitHub Link: https://github.com/pejamas/Poster-Overlay-GUI 2 4
ZLuckyTraveler 0 Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 @PejamasDoes this program connect to an Emby server in any way, or is this a standalone application to add overlays to posters that are stored locally which you are referring can just be used with Emby by manually uploading the posters then. Also is there any way to automate this?

Also is there any way to automate this? Just a standalone app so far, I primarly use TPDB for all my movie posters, hopefully one day they have an API then I can try to automate it.
snowwright 0 Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Is there any way to incorporate audio codes under the resolution banner? ATMOS, DTS X, DTS, Etc.
PagelsFamily 1 Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Any way to add something else to the top right of the banner? Imax is awesome but if I have a Dolby Vision movie my brain hates that there is an empty spot on the top right. As Snowwright suggested maybe audio codes like Atmos, etc.... And the last suggestion would be the black stripe, if there were a few other color options available? Seeing something like a blue or red bar would signal the type of file it is would be cool. Thank you for this, I use it quite a bit.
keemy 17 Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 Do you have have plans to add additional codecs and banners?
shorty1483 501 Posted April 19, 2024 Posted April 19, 2024 @Pejamas Thanks for this nice tool. I was looking for a clean way of showing DV/HDR in a clean and nice looking way and thanks god I found your tool. Any plans for incorporating Bluray and DVD or a batch convert option?
shorty1483 501 Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 As long as @Pejamasis busy with real life I made some improvements to his graphic files to align them perfectly to the Emby coverart plugin. Additionally, I made covers for BluRay. Perhaps some people like me want to flag their BluRay Rips with IMAX on the Cover. I've also seen DV or HDR 1080p rips floating around in the inet. Just make onother folder instance of the tool and replace the files with the content of one of the attached zips. If user this along coverart plugin, the movies that get a cover with this nice tool need to have an own rule in plugin with movie cover set to "plain" oder "ignore". 4K-overlays.zip 1080p-overlays.zip
shorty1483 501 Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 (edited) @PejamasFelt free to fork your repo and made a pull request to have 4K and 1080p templates in one program. Poster_Overlay_4K_1080p.zip Edited June 6, 2024 by shorty1483
