DUDE that is exactly how I would love it to look!!
I just got done adapting the template file. Seems like itâs working perfect. If you want it drop the file inside that zip in userdata/addon_data/script.plexmod/templates (I had to make the templates folder). Toggle the setting @panni mentioned in the app settings for a single launch, and your small poster view should look like that. Let me know if you find any issues.
I didnât realize how simple it would be to change. I might do the big poster view too.

Drop me a DM. We should take the discussion off of this thread as I imagine weâll talk a lot about templates now.
You have all the power now, as you can also edit the inherited templates, add necessary blocks, and tell me about those you need in order to make this great (and more permanent).
You might be able to tell that Iâm slightly excited for somebody to actually use what Iâve built! Great! 
Edit: and you seem capable of understanding jinja2 template inheritance, or at least how this system works
haha, I will for sure. I was worried about being a burden even asking about it earlier. This could be a lot of fun.

Hi all,
I have PM4K installed on CoreELEC 21.3 and Iâm noticing errors in kodi.log stating it cannot find plex.direct.
The usual fix would be to access the Router and whitelist plex.direct but I donât have access to the Router.
CE is configured for DHCP.
Is there something I can do on CE to resolve this issue?
TIA
Greg
PM4K should take care of it and modify your advancedsettings.xml automatically if you let it. If it didnât detect (all) domains, go to Settings > Network and enable âForce plex.direct mappingâ.
Then restart PM4K; it should give you a notice about plex.direct. If it doesnât please use the PM4K Log Uploader from the repository and report back.
Edit: You didnât say whether you had actual issues using PM4K, though. If you donât itâs likely you can ignore those errors.

Thanks for the reply.
Enabled âForce plex.direct mappingâ | got the message to allow changes to advanced settings | got a message to restart Kodi.
Rebooted and have checked that advancedsettings.xml was created and entries added.
Yes, I was getting issues. Posters were not being displayed and most of the errors related to unable to find them.
Should I now be good to go?
Thanks again,
Greg
EDIT: Got no message about plex.direct after rebooting.
Yep then everythingâs fine now. In certain network setups (especially Docker) Plex doesnât properly tag local/remote connections. Forcing them forces us to try and resolve all hosts and we add the ones that fail. Adds a couple of milliseconds of boot time, so no issues keeping it enabled.

I havenât noticed any problems yet using avdvplus test build with LAV audio, been watching GOT DV FEL, everything smooth, using 77â S95F + Sony Quads.
Huh? The S95F doesnât support Dolby Vision, and therefore not FEL either.
Well he said he has DV FEL, maybe he converts to HDR10+.

it might not support it, but I get the DV FEL goodies using these CoreELEC builds CPM/avdvplus, itâs sent as HDR10 signal but with the DV metadata injected.

Sorry, but Gemini said to me âŠ
[mod edit: AI hallucinations deleted.
Donât quote AI responses as if these were a sort of ultimate authority on any type of topic. They are not.
See our https://forums.plex.tv/guidelines ]
Donât do chatbot pastes, please.
This is bullshit already:
HDR10+ isnât a proprietary standard and DV could be converted to it on the fly if configured.
Edit: Just because the chatbot seems knowledgable about something, almost never means it actually knows stuff.
This is somewhat true, but the chatbot obviously doesnât know about the VS10 engine in CPM.

That doesnât help your case much tbh
Iâm pretty sure the conversion options of VS10 only apply towards DV, not DVâHDR10+
Edit: Starting the off-topic timer in 3, 2, 1.
From my undestanding of how all this stuff works is as follows:
Bluray disks are backwards compatible to HDR (10 bit), so for the DV stuff to work there needs to be an enhancement layer: MEL or FEL.
For both of these the player is responsible of recreating the 12bit stream.
Since the Samsung tv doesnât have DV, the box will not create the DV tunnel thingie (for TV LED dolbyvision), but rather will do the processing on the box - this is what avdvplus did in his builds - he process the dv stream and then outputs it via hdr.

If player-led, that might actually be possible. TV-led simply wouldnât work as the metadata is discarded.
Edit: @Gilgamesh Yep, your link pretty much confirms that you have some benefit of DV, but only the tone mapping part.
Edit 2: Itâs weird that CPM/VS10 canât dynamically create HDR10+ metadata, though. Itâs definitely possible. I guess itâs just a missing feature at this point.
