Does runtime work on the show/Season level? I thought it was only episodes?

EDIT: according to the wiki it does work on movie, show and episode. I thought it was just movie and episode level

[CorroPenny]

It's only supposed to work on the Episode level. It only started putting runtime data, like in the screenshot, recently.

I just wanted to add that I'm having the same issue on v1.19.0. Runtimes work fine on episodes and movies, but not on shows.

I don't know what the expected value for "runtime" on a TV show would even be. average? max?

"Runtime" should not be on the poster. It's meant to be on the individual episode. But this error causes it to show up as an error on the poster.

I would have personally expected it to read the total runtime. But regardless, it's supposedly supported at the "show level" according to the documentation, in whatever form that might be...

It is supported at the show level, but only for individual episodes. It would be nice to have a show's Total Runtime as a toggleable feature (I personally don't want that on all my shows), but that's how it used to work.

[chazlarson]

What does "It is supported at the show level, but only for individual episodes" mean? That sounds like "episode level"

[adam-blakey]

Hm, perhaps I'm getting confused by this. I interpreted "show level" to mean the overlay would appear on the show's poster. Regardless, the below image is an example of what I get on the show's poster and what I get on the individual poster. Am I misconfiguring something here?

A cut-down version of my config is:

libraries:
  TV Shows:
    overlay_path:
    - pmm: runtimes
      template_variables:
        overlay_level: show
    - pmm: runtimes
      template_variables:
        overlay_level: episode

Apologies, that's what I meant. It's supported at Episode level, but not Show level. I misunderstood your meaning.

Same error I get when I apply this to my shows. It used to just show nothing on my show's poster, which is what I wanted. But it suddenly broke and started showing that gibberish on the poster itself.

[chazlarson]

I suspect the "this works on shows" is an error in the wiki, but I haven't looked at the code.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

I must add, though, that I would be interested in a total runtime (and perhaps an option for the other alternatives above) for shows as a feature at some point in the future. 😊

overlay.py has runtime as working at the movie and episode level:
