2 months ago Hi @engels74 , thank you for your continued interest in RPDB.
While I am not against your request, I generally wish to see more users requesting the same feature prior to implementing it, to not bloat the service or app with too many settings that very few would end up using.
So, if you don't mind, I would suggest leaving the issue open for now to see what the interest is for this from other users also.
Hey @jaruba
Long-time t3 lifetime holder here, I appreciate you still keeping this app alive. Not sure if you're still actively working on this, but I figured it would be worth it to ask for a new "feature"
It would be awesome if you could add "minimalist text badges", instead of the very colourful badges.
PMM/Kometa has some nice examples of this, like so: 1080p examples (no colour): https://i.imgur.com/584qztg.png
4K Examples (with a bit of colour): https://i.imgur.com/lYI2V3N.png
I've tried placing a red rectangle around the parts that I think would be nice to have as a "minimalist" alternative for RPDB. I like the emphasis on colours on DolbyVision and 4K / HDR stuff and then the non-coloured 1080p.
It doesn't have to be an exact copy I guess, but having the semi-transparent black background with white text looks great in my opinion.
I don't really like using PMM/Kometa for their Overlays, as it's crazily resource intensive, and they save all their data in the Plex folder itself, and in the database. It doesn't play nice with a large 50TB+ library. RPDB on the other hand does work with basically anything.
Anyways, would be great to have.
Much love, Engels
