Maintainerr Overlay Helperr

Project inspired by Maintainerr Poster Overlay

This project is a helper script that works with Maintainerr to add a Netflix-style "leaving soon" overlay to your media. It integrates with Plex and Maintainerr to download posters, add overlay text, and upload the modified posters back to Plex. It runs periodically to ensure posters are updated with the correct information.

Using Calculated Date

Using Days Left

Features

• Collections: All types of collections are supported. The script can process multiple collections at once and reorder each Plex collection in ascending or descending order based on deletion date, allowing you to easily manage upcoming removals.

• Customizable overlay: use custom text, colour, size, shape & positioning of the overlay

• Overlay reset & deletion: revert to the original poster & delete the generated overlay poster from the Plex metadata folder

• Automatic poster update: The overlay's deletion date automatically updates to match any modifications you make to Maintainerr rules, ensuring your visual overlays always reflect the latest media removal schedules.

• Display days left vs exact date: choose between showing the calculated date of removal (Netflix style) or days leading up to it (countdown)

• CRON scheduling: schedule when the script should run using CRON expressions

Requirements

• Docker

• Plex Media Server

• Maintainerr

I just started using Maintainerr about 3 minutes ago, so I apologize if this is an obvious question to most, but how are these overlays different than the ones that are built into Maintainerr?
