Hi, I’ve would like to know if the movie’s (or show’s) logos are in the todo list on the preplay page ?
Yeah! Good timing because we’ve actually been working on logos for a long time and are allllllmost finished. It’s been a pretty interesting experience, as there have been a lot of technical challenges unique to Plex, since we have to be able to support every movie available and not just our own catalog.
If you’re curious, some of these challenges were:
- Where do we source them from?
- How do we pick the right logo?
- How do we handle cropping whitespace and size differences?
- How do we ensure accessible colour contrast compliance when doing automated logo selection on top of automated gradient selection?
- How do we get the most performant format in the most performant size for each client?
- What does a fallback look like for when we can’t get a logo?
Honestly with all of these challenges, our goal in the first release is somewhere between Decent → Pretty Good, and we plan on doing some rapid iteration based on feedback once we see how the logos are shaking out in the wild.
