Fancy images for metadata

[petersem]

Use logos and images instead of the standard text at the bottom of the screen.

I've looked at this about 10 times now, and no closer to making it happen. I'm not great at making icons, and have not found anything suitable (and scaleable) online.

Images vary for different countries too. Eg ratings.

The other aspect is that some posters already have this info, and I can't dynamically discern these.

So I'm going to put a call out to anyone that can create a set of vector scaleable icons. If I get no responses after a while, then I'll be closing this issue unresolved.

Icons needed (Not images) are:
-1080p
-4K
-SD
-4K HDR
-ATMOS
-3D
-STEREO
-DTS
-DOLBY
-SURROUND 5.1
-SURROUND 7.1
-ULTRAHD

• G
• PG
• PG13
• M
• MA
• R
• NR

They need a similar style, but also be distinct. Use font-awesome as guide for what I need.

@petersem I'll look into this for ya. Thanks for the awesome project!

Actually would this work for you? https://sickboat.com/products/design-icons-graphic-design-elements-pack

I am pretty good with photoshop/gimp. I can create some icons for you, I just need to know specs on what you would like. I'd like to contribute to help make this even better for future releases.

[KingIzzymon]

@petersem hey Matt, what do you think?

[petersem]

@KingIzzymon sorry mate, I'm not sure how I missed this message. Yes, those icons for the pack look pretty nice. Big question is if they would scale ok.

[KingIzzymon]

@petersem only one way to find out!

Shall I purchase it and create a PR with the images and license info?

Or @NightHawkATL are you still available to create a few samples? And any skill with vector art? Ideally an SVG file would be best so it scales perfectly to any display, but at minimum I think we'd want 1080p resolution worthy images since I wouldn't expect someone to use a 4k TV as a poster

[petersem]

@KingIzzymon they are nice, however the scaling and available real estate for them, is my what I'm considering. Some of those logos are pretty wide. I'm happy to try them out, but don't want you to waste your money either, just in case it's not viable.

[KingIzzymon]

@petersem I'm more than happy to donate and find out. I'm also fairly good at image editing.

Do you happen to have the dimensions of the available space?

It auto-scales in the css. Anywhere from a small phone, to a big TV. It's a curse and a benefit. It limits customisation a bit, but the users don't have to worry about manually putting in pixel sizes, like in other apps. This is one thing that I really want to keep posterr adhering to.

Gotcha. Well I should have some time Friday to work on this and I'll submit a PR with the new assets for you to review

One other option is to use something like Plex Meta Manager to add information to the posters in plex. These would then display in Posterr. I am looking at another request which would give an option to hide all the metadata at the bottom of the now showing and on-demand slides.

[KingIzzymon]

The PMM idea would be a neat feature but personally I don't like it because it makes my Plex library feel cluttered when scrolling thru movies and that excludes Jellyfin server users...
