Custom overlay not showing up

[earnest flower]

I am testing a 50% overlay Network logo png and cannot get it to show up on the poster. Based on a prior discussion it uses the same syntax.

      template_variables:
        file_paramount: /config/images/networks/Paramount+.png
        horizontal_align: center
        vertical_offset: 50
        vertical_align: top
        back_width: 621
        url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zarox-things/configs-and-stuff/m>
        back_color: '#00000000'```

this one:

[INFO]     |     1 | Overlay Error: Status 400 when attempting download of: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zarox-things/configs-and-stuff/main/plex-meta-manager/overlays/images/network/shadow/#0.png

is a bad URL due to the naked #

This:

[INFO]     |     1 | Overlay Error: Overlay Image not found at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zarox-things/configs-and-stuff/main/plex-meta-manager/overlays/images/network/shadow/tubi.png

returns a 404.

If I go to the repo that file is in fact not there.

The others all seem to work fine, aside for "no update needed".

You may need to do a run with reapply_overlays to force Kometa to pull the new images; it may not track that as a changepoint.

[earnest flower]

good point thank you will try to reapply_overlays

For some reason the overlays are not being reapplied, tried to run it seperately and together, is this still valid?

    remove_overlays: true
    reapply_overlays: true```

[lilac hawk]

Why are you removing overlays?

This:

    remove_overlays: true

means: "I want you to remove all overlays during this run, leaving this library without any overlays"

This;

    reapply_overlays: true

means: "whether or not you think you have to, I want you to regenerate and reupload new overlaid posters for everything in the library"

the removal trumps the reapplication.

[earnest flower]

I tried that after reapply_overlays didnt seem to work on its own

okay I understand

[lilac hawk]

"didn't seem to work" covers a lot of ground. Do you have a og showing this?

[earnest flower]

also for what it's worth the command line for the run I am using is python kometa.py -r --library-only "TV Shows"

getting the log now

Where did --library-only come from? That's not a valid flag and Kometa is ignoring it.

https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/kometa/environmental/#run-libraries

You have this set:

--operations-only (KOMETA_OPERATIONS_ONLY): True 

So the only thing that's happening is operations. No overlays being processed.

I suspect that's an env var on the container config.

[earnest flower]

container compose

    container_name: kometa
    networks:
      bluff_network:
    image: kometateam/kometa:nightly
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: 1001:1001
    environment:
      - TZ=${TZ}
    volumes:
      - ${APPDATA}/kometa/config:/config```

I need to switch out of nightly forgot to do that

[earnest flower]

AI search command, need to stop using that

trying again

here is the poster I'm trying to confirm the change on with a 50% opacity png for the 1883 series

[lilac hawk]

That looks like the expected image.

[earnest flower]

okay I see whats happening got some competing overlays, If I wanted to pull those images in and replace them with my own would a local folder work in a similar way?

url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zarox-things/configs-and-stuff/main/plex-meta-manager/overlays/images/network/shadow/<<key>>.png

Replace with something like this?
file: /config/overlays/images/network/<<key>>.png

[lilac hawk]

Either would work

[earnest flower]

that was it, working now! Thank you
