The Two Styles

❗❗ Remember, it remains a personal preference when using the recommendations posted in the tables on the other tabs. This only serves as a baseline and is by no means the golden rule.

Afterword

Maintained by dweagle79. This list continues the page originally written and maintained by Chris DC (original).

Special thanks to Chris DC, who created and maintained this page and handed it over, and to all the drive owners and users who provided the feedback that made it useful.

Big thanks to MusikMann2000 and everyone creating posters to the guidelines and rules defined at DAPS.

As of 23/05/2025 there is also a centralized gdrive repo containing these drives, which DAPS and DAPS-UI make use of. PosterFlow loads its own copies from backend/assets/.

Priority Guide

Two decisions sit behind a good setup: which poster style you want your library to look like, and what order the drives sit in.

How the ranking works

Priority isn't a number you set per drive. It's a single ordered list you build yourself, and the order decides who wins: for any given title, the strongest-placed drive that actually has a poster for it supplies that poster. A drive further down only matters where everything above it came up empty, and nothing is blended - one drive per asset.

In PosterFlow that list lives under Asset Manager → Drive Priority. Drag drives into it and the top of the list is strongest - higher drives override lower ones. MM2K, CL2K and your own custom drives all share the one list, which is what lets the two styles work together.

Subscribing to a drive is not the same as ranking it. A drive has to be in the priority list to be used for matching at all - PosterFlow offers to add it for you when you subscribe.

DAPS works on the same idea, but its list is written in ascending order: lowest priority first. That's the order the tiers on the DAPS tab are in, and it's why the strongest tier (+++) sits at the bottom of that table.

If you're setting this up in PosterFlow, read the tiers bottom-up - the +++ row belongs at the top of your Drive Priority list.

Artwork drives are ranked in their own separate list, and they resolve per asset rather than per item: a title's logo, background and square art can each come from a different drive, whichever is highest-placed for that particular slot.

MM2K and CL2K are listed separately here only because they're two different styles. You can run both together, subscribing to drives from either list and ranking them in whatever order you like, or commit to a single style and ignore the other list entirely. Both are perfectly normal setups.

MM2K or CL2K?

The difference is how the title is rendered. MM2K sets the title as text; CL2K uses the title's own clear logo on the same template, which is why the two lists otherwise look so similar.

You don't have to pick one. Put your preferred style's drives above the other style's, and the second one becomes a fallback: you get the look you want wherever it's covered, and a matching-template poster instead of nothing everywhere else.

Either style works as your primary now. Ranking the other one below it just means you still get a matching-template poster on anything your first choice hasn't reached yet, and when neither has a title, ask: missing posters can be requested, and makers pick them up. PosterFlow's Requests board is built for exactly that.

Where mixing does hurt is within a set. A collection with logos on three films and Arial text on the other two reads as unfinished in a way that either style used consistently does not. If that bothers you, the custom folder covers it: drop matching posters for the odd ones out and they win regardless of drive order.

Hybrid drive(s)

Whenever a drive contains > 50% posters collected from others, its priority should be set to lowest.

Example

Chris DC's drive is the canonical example. It contains a few homemade posters and personal favorites, since posters sometimes have slight variations or have been remade by others - at which point it falls into "collection of others".

In the list, because the posters are known to be correctly made, it sits above any other drive in the lowest priority, but below any drive that is > 50% custom made by the owner(s).

How is this reflected in reality?

For its owner, that drive is their custom folder/drive and personal to them, so they set it to the highest priority - they'd rather see their own posters than someone else's. For everyone else it stays at the lowest priority.

When would you change priority for yourself?

So why follow this baseline at all, and what happens if you change the order of these drives?

Example

You're using this baseline in your configuration, but some titles get a poster you don't like, and you know a better one exists.

• Other posters can be found with PosterFlow and DAPS' search features, or by browsing and downloading from the internet.
• If they're on a drive in the list, change that drive's priority and re-run everything.

But it's rarely that simple - a higher-priority drive may have posters you personally don't like either.

That's where the custom folder comes in: move the posters you want to win into your custom folder, re-run everything, et voila. Nothing else has to be re-ranked.

MM2K-style Drives

MM2K style posters were orignally created by MusikMann2000.

On any table: click a column heading to sort, or type in the filter box to narrow it. Drive IDs have a copy button.

• Drives marked ✅ in the ACK column are verified by the owner: they provided the feedback on their drive and its contents, and are aware of their ranking.
• The Artwork column shows what that maker also publishes in an artwork drive.

CL2K-style Drives

Iamspartacus and dweagle79 started creating posters with the original logo on them instead of the title set in Arial. Some others joined the rebellion.

CL2K means "Clear Logo", and "2K" is because the main template is derived from the MM2K-style one.

On any table: click a column heading to sort, or type in the filter box to narrow it. Drive IDs have a copy button.

• Drives marked ✅ in the ACK column are verified by the owner: they provided the feedback on their drive and its contents, and are aware of their ranking.
• The Artwork column shows what that maker also publishes in an artwork drive.

Artwork Drives

Artwork drives hold the clear logos, backgrounds and square art used to build CL2K posters and to dress up Plex/Kometa libraries. They are separate from poster drives: artwork lives in its own logos/, backgrounds/ and squareart/ subfolders, and it has no MM2K/CL2K style split.

Not every maker publishes all three. The table shows exactly what each drive contains, so you can subscribe to a drive for logos only and skip a type you don't want.

In PosterFlow, each artwork drive can be limited to the types you actually want under Drives → Artwork; unselected types are excluded from the rclone transfer entirely.

⚠️ If placed logos keep "becoming" backgrounds, check Kometa's dimensional_asset_rename setting - it renames assets by aspect ratio.

Who Makes What

Every maker on this page, and which lists they appear on.

Create Your Own

Guidance for making your own posters to the community styles, and for getting your drive onto the lists on this page.

Making posters and getting listed

Anyone can make posters for the community - every drive on this page started with someone deciding to. Start from the matching template below, follow the style notes for MM2K or CL2K, and collect what you make in a Google Drive folder.

Asking to be added

Once you have a drive worth sharing, ask to have it listed. It helps to have ready:

• The Drive folder ID - the part of the folder URL after /folders/
• Whether it's MM2K or CL2K - a drive of each needs a separate entry
• A one line description of what's in it, which becomes the Content column
• Anything people should know before subscribing: original language titles, variants without a gradient or number overlay, a language or region focus, and so on. That becomes your Owner feedback
• Your TPDB or Mediux profile, if you want it linked

The folder has to be shared so that anyone with the link can view it - that's how everyone syncs what is in it.

Contact Dweagle79 in the PosterFlow Discord Channel to be added.

How you'll be ranked

New drives are placed using the same community baseline as everything else, so where you land depends on what's in the drive rather than when you joined:

• More than half collected from other makers → lowest (--)
• Mostly your own work → - or +
• A drive with broad, general coverage can sit higher still
• A drive with 3000 or more posters will be considered essential and given a ++ ranking due to large coverage.

You can ask for a particular spot. Several makers have, and those requests are honored. If you'd rather be ranked low so your posters only fill gaps, say so.

Your entry starts at ❔ in the ACK column, meaning nobody has confirmed it with you. Once you've checked your row - the description, the feedback and the ranking - it becomes ✅. See how priority works for what the tiers actually do.

Templates & tools

• MM2K template - .psd
• CL2K template - .psd
• Logo/artwork finder by Ben Dodson
• TMDB
• TheTVDB
• ThePosterDB

Both templates ship with PosterFlow, so they're also on disk at backend/assets/ in the repo.

Template layers - Some commmonly used layers in the .psd file. There are some differences between MM2K and CL2K.

MM2K

The original community style: the title set in Arial over a black gradient at the foot of the artwork, inside a white border. The template below is the shared base - CL2K is the same file with the title swapped for a clear logo.

MM2K high-level information

• Enable the guidelines/rulers in the PSD
• Canvas is 1000 x 1500
• Place the artwork into POSTER as a smart object, filling the frame
• Turn on one layer in TITLE TEXT. MIDDLE BOTTOM is the default; the others move the title up or down to suit the art
• Use the (small) variants for long titles that would otherwise crowd the border
• Title should be centered
• Title is usually white, though some posters use black text - several drives carry white-text versions of those
• Leave GRADIENT and BORDER LAYER as they are

If you publish variants - no gradient, no sequel number, white text over black - say so in your drive's owner feedback on this page, so people know what they're subscribing to.

CL2K

Based on MM2K posters.

When using Ben Dodson's artwork finder, primarily use the SingleColorContentLogo. When using TMDB, it's in media → logos.

PosterFlow's Maker Tools → Artwork tab can pull logos, backgrounds and square art for a title from TMDB and TheTVDB directly, and crop them to the right size.

PSD guidelines

• Enable the guidelines/rulers in the PSD
• Logo placement should be on the correct guideline
• Width of logo should be 600px, but exceptionally can be 800px
• Logo should be centered
• Logo should be as white as possible
