How to create and manage explicitly created metadata and icons
Maybe not the right place to post ( please advise ) First off Kudos for creating the Plex system -
If one can't do this then this is expressing a feature request,
if one can, then it's a query about how to accomplish it in full or in part :)
I have media files which I have placed in the plex media server on a windows box, and for some of them I would like to explicitly define metadata for such that "Title" text, and potentially an Icon file I explicitly select and/or supply will display on the Roku client - not as the popup but for the active selection but for the icons in the scrolling list.
[list]
[*]as part of the icon,
[*]or overlayed on the icon,
[*]or as a subscript or superscript to the icon ( above or below )
[*]or as an auto-generated icon image which contains just a rendering of the title text
[*]or the ability to specify an image Icon I create or find on my own and place on the server.
[/list]
Hopefully the client side icon list will be in alphabetical title order, and idealy be searchable somehow from the client.
The fantasy being a drop-down for "title display" ( show title / overlay title on icon / xxx with title / etc ) on editable metadata panel.
and a path which can be typed in or selected for the icon either as a specific URL to an image or a local path to an image on the server, and a "browse" button for selecting a local path from an "explorer" file requestor popup, and/or be able to drop an image onto the entry field, or a URL from a browser.
Anyway figured I'd put this out there :)
Thanks for the forum !!
