Major Changes

• Create new TintedFrameTitleCard card type (#331)
  • Specified via card_type of tinted frame or blurred border
  • Example of this card (and showcase of customization):
    
  • This card supports all font and season customizations, as well as the optional addition of a logo in place of the season/episode text at the top and bottom of the card (see second above image).
  • Supports the following extras: episode_text_color, separator, frame_color, top_element, bottom_element, and logo - all described here.
• Create new DividerTitleCard card type (#326)
  • This card is similar to the Anime title card (same font), but has a completely different layout
  • Specified via card_type: divider
  • Example of this card (and showcase of customization):
    
  • Aside from normal font customizations, the text stroke color can be changed, as well as the position itself (via series extras).
  • Supports the following extras: stroke_color, title_text_position, and text_position - all described here.
• Allow background images in LogoTitleCard (#325)
  • Background images can be used in place of the solid color
  • If using this, I recommend setting the watched/unwatched style to an art style so that TCM uses backdrop.jpg by default (instead of a per-episode image)
  • The background image can also separately blurred (instead of the logo) via blur_only_image extra
  • Example YAML and image:

    Survivor (2005):
      card_type: logo
      watched_style: art
      unwatched_style: art blur
     extras:
        logo: ./source/Survivor (2005)/logo.png
        blur_only_image: true
        use_background_image: true

    
• Allow specification of non-English languages for logos from TMDb (#330)
  • A language priority can be set within the TMDb global options - TCM will find the highest priority logo available - for example, to search for logos in order of English, then Spanish, then Japanese:

    tmdb:
      # Other options
      logo_language_priority: en, es, ja

• Rewrote almost all user-created card types to be much faster - most cards should see between 300-800% creation time decrease

Major Fixes

• Use much stricter series matching on Plex (require database ID or year exact match) (#327)
  • We've identified a bug in the Plex search API/code which interprets titles with commas as separate queries, which can result in bad matches
  • I've raised the issue with Plex, but a temporary fix has been implemented in TCM to prevent these

Minor Changes

• Rewrote StarWarsTitleCard to be ~2x faster, and support additional customization
  • Generalize episode prefix detection to work with more than Episode, Chapter, and Part
  • Change default episode_text_format to EPISODE {episode_number_cardinal} (no functional change)
  • Allow custom font color, file, size, and interline spacing
• Set series database ID's based on the series episode data source- this should reduce false matches on media servers with a lot of similar-named content.
• Add borderless option to the movie poster maker via --borderless (#332)
• Update all Pipfile dependencies - will require pipenv update
• Add import as valid card_type identifier for TextlessTitleCard
• Deleted CollinHeist/BetterStandardTitleCardand CollinHeist/StandardAllBoldCard card types (redundant)
• Add support for omit_gradient extra in lyonza/WhiteTextBroadcast title card
• Renamed many internal card variables - users who have added custom variable overrides to their series extras or datafiles will need to make the following conversions:
  • title_color -> font_color
  • font -> font_file
  • hide_season -> hide_season_text
  • source -> source_file
  • output_file -> card_file
  • title -> title_text (old title datafile entry is accepted)
  • All font variables are now prefixed with font_ (kerning, interline_spacing, stroke_width, vertical_shift)
