plex实现流媒体服务器

Plex Media Server does a pretty decent job automatically downloading cover art, backgrounds, and other artwork on your behalf, but that doesn’t mean every piece of artwork it picks is the one you want. Fortunately, changing out the artwork is a snap.

Plex Media Server可以自动代表您下载封面，背景和其他艺术品，但做得不错，但这并不意味着它挑选的每件艺术品都是您想要的。 幸运的是，更改艺术品非常容易。

为什么要更改媒体作品？ (Why Change The Media Artwork?)

Stocking all the TV shows and movies that end up on your media server is just part of the media center experience. The other big component is the presentation; how that media looks on the screen as you happily scroll through it all, enjoying the analysis paralysis that comes with curating a vast collection of your favorite content.

将所有最终存储在您的媒体服务器上的电视节目和电影存储起来只是媒体中心体验的一部分。 另一个重要组成部分是演示； 当您愉快地滚动浏览所有媒体时，该媒体在屏幕上的外观如何，您可以欣赏到策划大量喜欢的内容所带来的分析瘫痪。

Although Plex does a pretty darn good job automatically downloading artwork for your media from large publicly maintained resources like TheTVDB and The Movie Database, that doesn’t mean the options it picks are to your liking.

尽管Plex可以很好地自动从大型公共维护资源(例如TheTVDB和The Movie Database)中为媒体下载艺术作品，但这并不意味着它会选择您喜欢的选项。

For example, what was Plex’s best-pick-option from TheTVDB, based on popularity and quality, when you first added a TV show to your collection might not be the artwork that you’d use today to represent the same show.

例如，当您首次将电视节目添加到收藏中时，基于受欢迎程度和质量，Plex从TheTVDB的最佳选择中可能不是今天用来代表同一节目的艺术品。

Let’s take a look at how you can easily select new artwork from the aforementioned artwork databases or even create your own if you can’t find the perfect match.

让我们看一下如何从上述艺术品数据库中轻松选择新艺术品，或者在找不到完美匹配的情况下甚至创建自己的艺术品。

如何选择替代艺术品 (How To Select Alternative Artwork)

Before jumping into artwork you’ve created (or, if we’re being honest, probably just found somewhere on the web and cropped), let’s look at the much less labor intensive option: just switching the existing artwork out for new artwork (courtesy of the databases we just mentioned).

在跳入您创建的图稿之前(或者说实话，可能只是在网络上的某个地方找到并裁剪了)，让我们看一下劳动强度低得多的选项：只需将现有图稿换成新图稿(礼貌我们刚才提到的数据库)。

For this section of the tutorial we’ll be using the popular show Game of Thrones to demonstrate on account of two factors. First, the show is ever changing and quite dynamic so what the popular artwork was (and represented) when the show was first added to your media center and what the show is now, are probably two very different things. Second, because it’s so popular there are dozens upon dozens of polished fan-generated artwork options to choose from.

在本教程的这一部分中，我们将使用受欢迎的节目《权力的游戏》来演示两个因素。 首先，该展览是一个不断变化和动态的过程，因此，当该展览首次添加到您的媒体中心时，流行的艺术品是什么(和表现出来的)以及现在的展览，可能是两件截然不同的事情。 其次，由于它非常流行，因此有数十种抛光的风扇生成艺术品可供选择。

To select new artwork, visit the web control panel of your Plex Media Server by logging into your account at Plex.tv or connecting to the local address of the server on your home network. Select the library the media you wish to update is located in from the left hand navigation panel. In our case, we select “TV Shows”, the library that holds Game of Thrones.

要选择新作品，请通过登录Plex.tv上的帐户或连接到家庭网络中服务器的本地地址来访问Plex Media Server的Web控制面板。 从左侧导航面板中选择要更新的媒体所在的库。 在我们的案例中，我们选择“电视节目”，即拥有《权力的游戏》的图书馆。

Look for the show you want to update, and hover your mouse over the entry. Click on the pencil icon. (If, for some reason, the mouse-over trick doesn’t work for you, then you can click on the entry and then select the pencil icon on the left hand side of the screen).

查找您要更新的节目，然后将鼠标悬停在条目上。 单击铅笔图标。 (如果由于某种原因鼠标悬停技巧不起作用，则可以单击该条目，然后选择屏幕左侧的铅笔图标)。

In the resulting pop up menu, labeled “Edit [Media Title]”, select from one of the three artwork options on the left hand side: Poster, Banner, or Background. Let’s change the Game of Thrones series poster, which will change the thumbnail for the whole show as it appears across all our Plex clients.

在出现的弹出菜单中，标记为“编辑[媒体标题]”，从左侧的三个图稿选项之一中选择：海报，横幅或背景。 让我们更改“权力的游戏”系列海报，这将更改整个节目的缩略图，因为它显示在我们所有的Plex客户中。

With the “Poster” tab selected, you can see the current default poster is a hand clutching a golden crown. It’s not a terrible poster but what if we want something more minimalist?

选择“海报”选项卡后，您可以看到当前的默认海报是一只手抓着金色皇冠。 这不是一个可怕的海报，但是如果我们想要更简约的东西怎么办？

Thanks to the popularity of Games of Thrones, we’ve got plenty of options to pick from. A quick scroll down the dozens of available posters yields this particularly minimal looking one that is a good match for the vibe we’re going for. To change it, we simply select the poster. If this is the only change you wish to make, hit “Save Changes”. If you wish to change the banner and background images for the series, do so now.

得益于《权力的游戏》的盛行，我们有很多选择。 快速向下滚动数十个可用的海报，可以产生看起来特别少的海报，这与我们想要的氛围非常匹配。 要更改它，我们只需选择海报。 如果这是您唯一希望进行的更改，请单击“保存更改”。 如果要更改该系列的横幅和背景图像，请立即进行。

If you found satisfactory fan art here, then great. You’re all done. If you didn’t find exactly what you were looking for, however, you’ll want to jump to our next section.

如果您在这里找到满意的粉丝艺术，那就太好了。 大功告成但是，如果找不到您想要的东西，则可以跳到我们的下一部分。

如何上传自定义媒体插图 (How to Upload Custom Media Artwork)

For popular TV shows and movies, it’s usually not hard to find more artwork than you could possible use in the databases Plex taps into. For obscure content, like TV shows that have been off the air for decades or individual seasons of TV shows, the pickings are a little slimmer. In such instances you have to take a very hands on approach and seek out media on your own.

对于流行的电视节目和电影，通常不难发现比Plex挖掘的数据库中可以使用的艺术品更多的艺术品。 对于晦涩的内容，例如几十年来已停播的电视节目或电视节目的各个季节，收录的内容要小一些。 在这种情况下，您必须亲身实践并自行寻找媒体。

选择正确的尺寸 (Selecting The Correct Size)

When hand picking custom artwork for your Plex media there are only a few rules to keep in mind. First, you want to obey the following ratios and sizes for the art you add. Doing so cuts down on distortion, black borders and other artifacts, and ensure the image is clean and crisp even on a large display.

为您的Plex媒体手动选择自定义图稿时，只有几条规则需要牢记。 首先，您要遵循以下比例和尺寸来添加艺术品。 这样做可以减少失真，黑色边框和其他伪影，并确保即使在大型显示器上，图像也清晰，清晰。

• Poster art should be approximately 1:1.5 ratio (the width divided by the height should be .66) and a minimum of 600 or so pixels wide. Many of the posters you find online, like those at TheTVDB are 680×1000 pixels (technically that’s .68 and not .66, but the difference is minute enough it won’t matter and we don’t recommend going to the hassle of editing the files).
  海报艺术的比例应约为1：1.5(宽度除以高度应为0.66)，最小像素宽度应为600左右。 您在网上找到的许多海报，例如TheTVDB上的海报都是680×1000像素(从技术上讲是0.68，而不是.66，但是差别足够小，没关系，我们不建议您麻烦编辑文件)。
• Banner art, though not used as frequently by Plex clients as poster and background art, is still something you may want to customize. Banner art has a 5.4:1 ratio (the width divided by the height should be, you guessed it, 5.4). Typically banners are at least 700 pixels wide, but again bigger is better and you can’t go wrong making it 1000 pixels wide as long as you preserve the ratio.
  虽然Plex客户不经常使用标语艺术作为海报和背景艺术，但您仍可能需要自定义标语。 横幅艺术的比例为5.4：1(宽度除以高度应为5.4)。 通常，横幅广告的宽度至少应为700像素，但最好还是再大一点，只要保留比例，就可以将其设置为1000像素。
• Background art, also commonly called “fan art” if you’re searching for samples, is always 16:9, the ratio of modern widescreen televisions. The ratio of the width divided by the height should be 1.77. You should aim to use images that are at least the default resolution of 1080 HDTV sets (1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels high) but may use 720 images (1280×720) in a pinch. Fortunately, on account of what a common resolution 1080 is you’ll find tons of desktop wallpapers made by fans of various shows and movies that you can drop right in to your Plex Media Server.
  背景技术，如果您正在寻找样本，通常也称为“粉丝艺术”，通常为16：9，即现代宽屏电视的比例。 宽度与高度之比应为1.77。 您应该使用的图像的分辨率至少应为1080 HDTV电视机(1920像素宽和1080像素高)的默认分辨率，但可能只使用720图像(1280×720)。 幸运的是，由于常见分辨率为1080，因此您会发现大量由各种节目和电影的爱好者制作的桌面墙纸，您可以将它们直接放入Plex Media Server。

To continue using Game of Thrones as our example for this tutorial, let’s take a look at freshening up the artwork for individual seasons.

为了继续使用《权力的游戏》作为本教程的示例，我们来看一下刷新各个季节的作品。

上传自定义艺术品 (Uploading The Custom Art)

By default Plex uses individualized season art, when available, for each season of a TV show, but reuses whatever background art it has for the main show entry for all the seasons. Let’s say we’re a huge fan of a show and we really want to customize the background of each season’s splash page to reflect what was most important or interesting to use about that season.

默认情况下，Plex在电视节目的每个季节都使用个性化的季节艺术(如果有的话)，但会在所有季节的主要节目条目中重复使用其具有的背景艺术。 假设我们是一个节目的忠实拥护者，我们真的想自定义每个季节的启动页面背景，以反映该季节最重要或最有趣的内容。

If we select the individual entry for season one of Game of Thrones, using the same selection process we used for the main show entry in the previous section of the tutorial, we see two things. First, we see there are plenty of poster options to choose from. Even though it’s just the cover art for a single season, there are over a little over a dozen options and we probably don’t need to go to the trouble of finding artwork for this section.

如果我们选择《权力的游戏》第一季的个人参赛作品，并使用与教程上一部分中主要演出作品相同的选择过程，则会看到两件事。 首先，我们看到有很多张贴选项可供选择。 尽管这只是一个季节的封面，但仍然有十几种选择，而且我们可能无需费心寻找本节的艺术品。

Second, there are zero background options available for background category, which means we need to hunt down an appropriate image we want to use for season one. Note the text across the top of the empty selection pane “choose an image”, “drag and drop”, and “enter a url”.

第二，背景类别的背景选项为零，这意味着我们需要寻找第一季要使用的合适图像。 请注意，空白选择窗格顶部的文本为“选择图像”，“拖放”和“输入网址”。

All three are methods of getting the fan art to your Plex Media Server. If you click on “choose an image”, a file browser will pop up and you can browse your computer for the image you wish to use. “Drag and drop” allows you to, as the name implies, drag the image or images you wish to use right onto the selection pane. The final option allows you to pull images from the web via their URL address.

这三种方法都是将爱好者艺术带入Plex Media Server的方法。 如果单击“选择图像”，将弹出一个文件浏览器，您可以在计算机上浏览要使用的图像。 顾名思义，“拖放”使您可以将要使用的一个或多个图像直接拖到选择窗格上。 最后一个选项允许您通过其URL地址从网络中提取图像。

While searching for the perfect background to go with season one of Game of Thrones, we wanted to go with either an imagine of Ned Stark, Winterfell (the seat of House Stark), or the title of the first episode and Stark’s well known line “Winter is coming”. To that end we found a very nice image by looking in the general Game of Thrones fan art category on The TVDB that was already cropped to a 16:9 ratio and ready to use. To use it we simply click on “enter a url” and paste the URL in.

在寻找《权力的游戏》第一季的理想背景时，我们想了解内德·史塔克，温特费尔(史塔克故居)的想象，或是第一集的标题和史塔克广为人知的台词“冬天来了”。 为此，我们在TVDB上的一般《权力的游戏》粉丝艺术类别中找到了非常不错的图像，该类别已经裁剪为16：9的比例并可以使用。 要使用它，我们只需单击“输入URL”并粘贴URL。

After you press the enter key in the URL box, you’ll see a confirmation that the image was uploaded successfully and you can then select it and click “Save Changes”.

在URL框中按Enter键后，您将看到确认图像已成功上传的确认，然后可以选择它并单击“保存更改”。

Just like the images we selected in the previous section of the tutorial, the images we uploaded are available immediately and applied to the show when we click the save button.

就像我们在本教程的上一部分中选择的图像一样，当我们单击“保存”按钮时，上传的图像将立即可用并应用于节目。

That’s all there is to it: with a little extra effort to search out the image you want you can have custom fan art for every aspect of your Plex Media Center.

这就是全部内容：只需付出一些额外的努力即可搜索出您想要的图像，您可以在Plex Media Center的各个方面使用自定义的粉丝艺术。
