Config

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_files:
      - default: languages
  TV Shows:
    overlay_files:
      - default: languages
      - default: languages
        template_variables:
          builder_level: season
      - default: languages
        template_variables:
          builder_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 will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

Variable Lists (click to expand)

  • File-Specific Template Variables are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults File.

  • Overlay Template Variables are additional variables shared across the Kometa Overlay Defaults.

  • Overlay Text Template Variables are additional variables shared across the Kometa Text Overlay Defaults.

Values: top, center, or bottom

Values: Any Integer

Default: 10
Values: Any Integer 0 or greater

Default: 3
Values: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5

vertical_spacing Description: Controls the vertical spacing from one overlay in the queue to the next.
Values: Any Integer
weight_<<key>>1 Description: Controls the weight of the Overlay. Higher numbers have priority.
**Values:** Any Number
  1. Each default overlay has a key that when calling to effect a specific overlay you must replace <<key>> with when calling.

When something in this table is noted as expecting a number, that number is expressed in pixels, assuming an image 1000x1500 in size. If the number is an offset, the value is relative to the corresponding alignment. Percentages are also relative to the alignment.

For example: 

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_files:
      - default: resolution
        template_variables:
          horizontal_align: left
          horizontal_offset: 247
          vertical_align: bottom
          vertical_offset: 40%
That would place the resolution overlay 247 pixels in from the left edge of the poster, and 40% of the way up from the bottom.

libraries:
  Movies:
    overlay_files:
      - default: resolution
        template_variables:
          back_width: 198
          back_height: 47
That would set the resolution overlay background to 198 pixels wide by 47 pixels high.

Color values should be wrapped in quotes in the YAML, as the # denotes a comment in YAML and if left unquoted will prevent the value from being seen by Kometa.

File paths need to be valid in the context where Kometa is running; this is primarily an issue when running in docker, as Kometa inside the container cannot see host paths.
