New Badge Overlay plugin

[Eigeplackter 109]

Okay with "Date added" I get a recently added badge now, after applying the extra settings.

But I dont have "Release Date" in my collection metadata editor to use your intended approach.

Hi there, that's a great idea. This will be used as the completion marker for a television series. Could you add it to the Emby catalog. Thanks.

Here are some tips on custom studio logos

Naming

• Check your Emby item's studio metadata first - go to an item → Edit metadata → Studios and note the exact string.
• Your studio name must match that (case-insensitive match is done server-side)
• If a studio has multiple names in your library (e.g. HBO vs Home Box Office), you'd need separate PNGs for each variant or clean up your metadata to be consistent

Priority

• Each custom logo has a Priority field (1–99, default 50). If an item's studio list matches more than one logo, the higher priority wins
• Built-in logos (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) also compete — set your custom logo priority above 50 to override a built-in if the studio name overlaps

Tint

• The Tint colour column only does anything when "Tint to colour" is checked globally on the Studio Logos tab
• Use clear PNG with punched out texts for best results
• Use "Magic Tint" to automatically picks either white or black as the tint colour based on the brightness of the poster corner where the logo will be placed.
• Magic Tint overrides the per-studio manual colour pickers when active.

Try it and tell me how it goes for you on custom studio logos.

examples of good and bad logo for tinting

example logo 1 GOOD one abc a clear png logo with the abc text are punched out so when tinted the text and logo are shown clearly

example logo 2 a plain circle logo with abc written over it, tinting shows a solid white circle
