Thanks - As written I have no idea I was just asking me if the new system would it make easier

Have fun with your icon overflow  - It's like in the web development to get something to work in every browser lol

And if you can do it great if not it's ok too - it would just make it easier for my kids to identify the movies

While i work at it i believe Emby has a system in place for parental ratings so you can make a user that only has access to specific ratings.

I made sure this version is not compiled with stuff that visual studio cached.

Also can you give me a screen shot of one of your DV files?

Thanks for your patience!

 

Two examples from different TV Shows.

I use custom icons. They work everywhere (including TV Shows posters) except season posters. Fun thing is, I got some shows with one season and the TV show poster is marked as DV, but the season poster is not.

Ah that explains it, i have misunderstood you all this time, i apologize!!

It isn't meant to show on the season posters, i never personally thought it made much sense and only made it use more CPU so i never added that.
If it ever showed on the season posters it would have been a bug.



I can very much see how it would seem like the plugin supports it though and that fully's my fault, i will change this bit to say only series.

If people want it shown on the season posters as well i can look into adding that.
I just fear it will make the plugin very CPU intensive as the "special source" in this plugin is the series aggregation and that is already a somewhat heavy process, it would have to run for every season or i would have to make big changes to it.

@ISeeTWizard

First bit done.

This was the easy bit though, so still a while to go but it's progress!

As I said, no need to implement it. I managed it through tags. Just out of curiosity, is the workload not the same for the Season poster compared to the Season poster? Thanks for investigating!

It would have to count the episodes as well as check for each priority for each episode for each season as well as the whole show unless I changed the aggregation method.

I could maybe change it to make a "mark" at each season end and count that way but it would as said require a big change. 

If I make it, it would take a good while to make it so don't expect it any time soon, sorry

No no, don't worry. Oneday when you have time. This has absolutely now priority since there is a workaround. Most people don't care anyways.

@yockerI was playing with the idea of having a standalone layout generator where you could load out using emby assets. You could create some standard things like youre doing now, and then I also added options for "metadata" fields. You could place the items where you want, and then it generates the layout positions you could then apply for all images. Ive stopped playing with it because I get bored with things after a while, but if you interested I can send it over, its a react/nextjs UI and then a small console appl with ska to create the image for testing (ideally thinking would have a plugin do it just loading the template thats created from the UI generator).

 

[yocker 1247]

So i got a little side tracked..



That's all the hints you guys get.
Back to working on parental rating, as you can see from the image i am working on it but they are pretty much static icons atm.

That looks to be an absolutely brilliant piece of software!!

I thank you for your offer but i don't think it's something for me as i want to keep the plugin as simple as possible and just overlay icons.

I would say it is something you should keep working on as it could be awesome for making it easy for people to make fully custom artwork for their collection for any media server (not just Emby).

New version is up (Emby Icons 5.2.1)

Added:

1. Suppport for parental ratings
2. Support for collections, these work the same way as series. All or nothing, if all movies have for example English audio then an icon for English will be shown.
Please note: The collections library it self can not be enabled or disabled as the icons are draw in the normal libraries and then Emby uses that drawn image in the collections library.

Changed:

1. Small correction to the text in the settings. It said it would overlay icons on season posters while that is not supported.
2. It is no longer possible to save the settings without having first made a profile.
3. Icons will now overflow and form another line if they don't fit the poster instead of stacking on top of each other.

Hi

I just did some testing and it works like I imagined it for me

 

Thanks for your great work

Like the PR but I can't get it to work on TV Shows.

I can confirm this - was just checking this
And I saw that Emby just put the Parental Rating on the TV-Show itself - not on the season and not on the different episodes - maybe relevant too

[yocker 1247]

It's because i've been an idiot, i just got it working for movies and then added it as normal to TV shows.
Problem is TV shows looks through episodes and only shows icons if all have it.

Working on finalizing a fix.

Hot of the presses.
Should fix the problem plus the icon manager in the settings should now also correctly look for parental rating in series.

Yep - I have now PR on my TV-Shows

Just a small question about this - as there is a PR for the TV-Show would it be possible to use that to set on the different episodes or can't that be achieved (or to much work?)

Good to hear it works now.
Took a while to add because i kept being an idiot and at first forgot to add some icons for it and couldn't understand why it just wouldn't work.

I don't think it would be possible because as far i know Emby only reports the rating per TV show and not episode.
I could maybe get it to overlay the icon from the TV show poster to the episodes but as you say that would be some work to do that as the plugin in general just uses the info Emby gives for each video.

Thanks for the info  Yeah I saw that the episodes have 0 info about PR - but that's not so important - I was just asking me if that would be easy to implement or not but as it's not important and some work we can forget this

At least the TV-Show now has the info displayed  Sometimes it's difficult - you can check the code 3563728 times and don't see an error and than suddenly
I have that sometimes when I do something under PHP for my website - but it's just a hobby and so I'm not used to do it and so this happens often LOL

[yocker 1247]

New version up (5.25.2)

Fixed:
Parental rating not showing on TV shows.
Icon Manager not looking for icons for parental ratings for TV shows.

Can we please have option to disable icons on collection posters ?

Unless i missed a bug this setting should enable/disable overlays on the collections.
It works on a per profile basis.
 

[kikinjo 281]

It is grayed out....not possible to enable / disable ( latest version downloaded from github)

[kikinjo 281]

Oh... lite mode disabled...than i can select it.

Hmm yeah, maybe i should add something that says why that is.
It grays that out because with lite mode enabled the option is automatically on, else there would just be a check for "yes lite mode on" but nothing for it to do.

Anyway, nice to see it's working for you!
