FadeTitleCard

Background

This style of title card is based off Yozora's initial concept of the card. It is a modification of the StandardTitleCard style (same fonts and text colors) that is intended to be used for 4:3 aspect-ratio source images.

Because the default title card aspect ratio is 16:9 (the ratio used within Plex), but many shows from before the 2000's were broadcast in 4:3, the top and bottom of source images will be cut off by all other card types. For example, the following 4:3 source image shows the bounds of the normal title cards, and content outside the red rectangle that would be cut out of other title cards:

This card will display 4:3 source images in their full resolution, without cropping.

This card type is used whenever card_type is specified as fade, or 4x3.

Valid extras

Below is a table of all valid series extras parsed by this card. These are described in greater detail below.

Label Default Value Description
logo - Path to a logo file to utilize for the card
episode_text_color rgb(163,163,163) Color to utilize for the episode text
separator Character to separate the season and episode text

Customization

Adding a Logo

A logo file can optionally be added to the top left of the title cards. By default, no logo is added. This can be changed as a series extra, by specifying a file for the logo image, like so:

extras:
  logo: logo.png

This can be a filename by itself (as shown above), and TCM will look for a matching file of that name in the source directory for the series; or it can be a complete file path, like so:

extras:
  logo: ./source/Star Trek (1966)/logo.png

Episode Text Color

The color of the episode text (e.g. SEASON 1 • EPISODE 1) defaults to rgb(163,163,163), but can be adjusted via a series extra, like so:

extras:
  episode_text_color: skyblue

Separator Character

The character between the season and episode text (a.k.a. the separator) can also be customized. By default, a character is used. This can be changed as a series extra, like so:

extras:
  separator: "-"
