overlay overlap

[kind elbow]

i'm using the defaults. do you have any suggestoins on how to adjust so that the flixpatrol doesn't overlap the streaming overlay. i realize i could move it. just wonder if anyone else that runs all the defaults had another suggestion.

[sterile pasture]

So many overlays lol

[kind elbow]

yep, i love them all

[sterile pasture]

What’s the bottom center space for?

Or top right

[kind elbow]

damn, i don't think i'm using that currently. i think default that uses audio codec

but i guess i could probably set template variable to move streaming to the bottom center

[sterile pasture]

Or top right

[kind elbow]

top right is media stinger and plex's dumb ass unwatched notfication

[sterile pasture]

Forgot about that lol

[kind elbow]

i guess i'm fucked, and need to figure something else out cause i also use "lauguage_count"

i could stick it right above the rating

[sleek narwhal]

ok.... so we knew that one day this would happen

and we thought it would be really rare to have 3 square on right and 3 square on left

all at the same time

i do have a potential solution

move the ratings back to the left nd flix to theright

next step is to use template variables on the ratings to make them "rectangles" instead of square

[kind elbow]

what do the rectangles look like but retained where they are?

[sleek narwhal]

rating_alignment: horizontal

the issues ithat flix does not support the rectangle versions

ratings does

this is why I mentioned to swap them

[kind elbow]

LOL, then theyll be right in the smak middle of my poster. F Me

i just keep laughing

[sleek narwhal]

no

[kind elbow]

no what?

[sleek narwhal]

no that should not happen

[kind elbow]

@sleek narwhal will they still be stacked? but just rectangle?

[sleek narwhal]

yes they should be stacked and rectangle

making them less high

this way they should not overlap

thats the "theory" at least

[kind elbow]

ok, i'll try that with my next run and see what happens

[sleek narwhal]

i will try on my test library

[kind elbow]

will take longer run, because essentially it's going to "redo" every poster

[sleek narwhal]

although I can't really test as I don't have anything that would produce the 3x3 like you have

[kind elbow]

usually there isn't a movie with 3 flixpatrol, but when there is, it looks retarded

[sleek narwhal]

yup. doesnt look right at all... i am just running some tests for Sohjiro on country, continent, region collections for movies and shows and once that is done, I can try some things over here

scrap that idea:

i really thought we had the option of those stacked on the left or right

just like we stack the rating_alignment: vertical

last option is to move each of those to the left in rectangle format

and place each one

[kind elbow]

or i could just move streaming

to center with vertical offset 270

[sleek narwhal]

here?

[kind elbow]

right next to ratings

[sleek narwhal]

between rthe ribbon and tmdb rating?

[kind elbow]

to the right of rating, and above aspect

[sleek narwhal]

content rating

[kind elbow]

i mean to the right of content rating

[sleek narwhal]

so where I put the red arrow

[kind elbow]

yeah, i'm a dumb ass

[sleek narwhal]

lol...

that might be the easiest quick fix...

[kind elbow]

so would that be center with a vertical offset of 270?

[sleek narwhal]

we would need to check what it is for content rating

[kind elbow]

content rating has vertical offset of 270

[sleek narwhal]

https://metamanager.wiki/en/nightly/defaults/overlays/content_rating_us_movie.html

yup...

so center and vertical offset of 270

[kind elbow]

same offset, just center

[sleek narwhal]

yes

that being said, I would consider that you will likely end up with a different aesthetic issue

for example... you probably only have 1 movie that has this situation

[kind elbow]

what do you mean?

[sleek narwhal]

but by moving that to center and offset of 270, you will end up with a space where streaming used to be

for 99% of the movies

[kind elbow]

well, f me

[sleek narwhal]

so its about living with the lesser of two evils at this point

or to use the rectangle overlays for flix or ratings to give you more space

but you have a lot of template_variables to tweak

[kind elbow]

rectangle isn't an option for flix

maybe i might just deal with the 1 movie that has the overlap since that's probably a 1 off and probably won't happen very often

mostly just 1 flix, but sometimes 2, but rarely 3

[sleek narwhal]

i think flix with some template_variables could transform into a "rectangle" version

addon_position

Description: Text Addon Image Alignment in relation to the text.
Default: top
Values: left, right, top, bottom

so left, might make it a rectangle

[kind elbow]

sohjiro in this same thread said it wasn't possible

[bitter plank]

yea flix would need a ton of work to support the smaller rectangle

[kind elbow]

thanks, @sterile pasture @sleek narwhal and last but not least @bitter plank. I know what to use now. i'll figure out if i wanna just stick with what i have and ignore the little tiny overlap on the 1 or 2 movies that might have 3 flixpatrol overlays, or i'll move streaming right above aspect

but i'll close the ticket now
