Ratings Overlays

The ratings Default Overlay File is used to create an overlay based on the Critic Rating, Audience Rating, and User Rating in Plex for each item within your library.

This file only updates the overlays based on the data in Plex, it will not pull the ratings directly from any third-party website, see recommendations below for more info.

Please read PMM Ratings Explained for more understanding on how PMM interacts with ratings.

Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Overlay Level: Movie, Show, Episode

Requirements: Template Variables must be configured, otherwise this file will not apply any overlays.

Recommendations: Use the Mass * Rating Update Library Operation and the Mass Episode * Rating Update Library Operation to update Plex to the Ratings you want on the Overlay.

Config

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

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 is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

All Shared Overlay Variables are available with the default values below as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

All Shared Overlay Variables can be appended by rating1_, rating2_, or rating3_ to change that attribute on each rating individually.
