Keep track of completed series

Hi guys,

I think it’s could be interesting to add a new tag to display something on the cover of the show when the serie is complete.

Another tag (or could be done by an agent) displaying something when the show is over.

So when I edit a show a “Complete” and “Over” would be awesome.

I’ve got plenty of series and it’s quite hard to organize without :slight_smile:

Here is a sample of what i’d like to see…

I’ve decided to do it with imagemagic and a bash script… adding a green mark (mean the show is over and it’s complete in my plex) in the lower right corner of the poster.

This is how it looks in the Android app…

Noone interested… sad

So I give my way of doing it just in case someone interested…

First of all make the folders (one “todo” where we store the original covers downloaded from thetvdb and “done” with the output covers with tags):
sudo su mkdir /opt/scripts/imagemagic/todo mkdir /opt/scripts/imagemagic/done

Make sure imagemagic is installed:
apt-get install imagemagick

Then create the script to tag automatically the picture:
nano /opt/scripts/imagemagic/tagimage

copy/paste in the file:
`
#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/scripts/imagemagic/todo
for i in * ;
do
a=echo $i | tr "[:blank:]" "_"
mv “$i” “$a”
done
for pic in *.jpg *.png
do
ww=convert $pic -format "%[fx:.15*w]" info:
composite -gravity southeast ( /opt/scripts/imagemagic/tag.png -resize ${ww} ) $pic /opt/scripts/imagemagic/done/$pic
done
chmod 777 -R /opt/scripts/imagemagic
`

A last command to be able to use the script:
chmod +x /opt/scripts/imagemagic/tagimage

Now we need the tag to add to the covers:
cd /opt/scripts/imagemagic wget https://openclipart.org/image/2400px/svg_to_png/177571/dwcheckyes.png mv dwcheckyes.png tag.png

It’s all set… put all the covers you want to tag in the “/opt/scripts/imagemagic/todo” folder, once done just run the “tagimage” script (in the “/opt/scripts/imagemagic” folder) and enjoy the result in “/opt/scripts/imagemagic/done”.

Now edit the series and replace the cover :wink:

PS: I’vot got a script folder cause I use those kind of things a lot… with cron you can do so many things :slight_smile:

@scoony makes a nice way to manually show completed series.
Hoping that Plex tech can make it automatic or at least somewhat less manual.
