I would like to request the ability to display the Community Rating (stars/scores) directly on the posters in the "Poster" or "Grid" library view, similar to how the Episode Count badge is already rendered for Series.
Context & Current Limitations:
Currently, there is a significant information gap between the "List View" and the "Poster View":
List View: Correcty displays ratings and metadata fields.
Poster View: Only displays the blue badge for episode counts (for Series) or play state indicators, but completely hides the rating.
Tests Performed:
As a system administrator, I’ve attempted to force the visibility of these fields using Custom CSS (injecting classes like .cardRatings, .starIcon, etc.). While I was able to modify existing elements (like changing title colors to verify the CSS injection), it appears that the CommunityRating data is not being served/rendered at all in the HTML DOM of the Poster View. This means a simple CSS override is insufficient because the data source is missing from the client-side template.
Proposed Solution:
Implement a toggle in the Library/Display settings: "Show ratings on posters".
Leverage the existing overlay logic used for the "Episode Count" badge to display the rating in a similar corner (e.g., top-left).
Why this matters:
For users with large libraries, the rating is a primary decision-making factor. Having to switch to List View or enter the item details just to see a score significantly slows down the browsing experience. Since the logic for overlays already exists in the UI, adding the rating field would provide much-needed feature parity.
I am attaching screenshots showing the inconsistent metadata display between List and Poster views.
