Features

Poster Image Downloads

The plugin offers a setting to automatically download poster images for new media, ensuring offline access.

When enabled, the plugin will:

1. Download the poster image when creating a new media note
2. Save the image with a standardized naming convention
3. Link the image in your note

Images are saved as: type_title (year)

For example:

• movie_The Perfect Storm (2000)
• series_Breaking Bad (2008)
• game_The Witcher 3 (2015)

You can choose the folder where images are saved in the plugin settings.

Metadata Field Customization

The plugin allows you to rename the metadata fields it generates through mappings. This gives you full control over your note’s structure.

The three options for mapping are:

1. default: Keep the original field name
2. remap: Rename the property to something else
3. remove: Remove the property entirely

Should you want to remove the entire front matter (equivalent to mapping every field to remove) you may turn off the Use default front matter setting.

Mappings can be set in the plugin’s settings:

1. Open Obsidian Settings
2. Navigate to Media DB Plugin settings
3. Find the “Property mappings” section
4. Configure your mappings

Templates

The plugin allows you to set a template note that gets added to the end of any note created by this plugin. Detailed information about this feature can be found in the template guide.
