Adds an ambient light effect to the Plex web player to prevent OLED burn-in and enhance immersion.
Adds a dynamic, blurred ambient light effect around the video player on app.plex.tv. This helps reduce the risk of OLED burn-in on letterboxed content (the black bars) and creates a more beautiful, immersive viewing experience.
The logic is inspired by the popular YouTube Ambilight extension.
You can easily change the blur, size, and opacity of the effect by editing the script in Tampermonkey. Just look for the settings section at the top of the file.
// --- You can adjust these settings ---
const settings = {
blur: 50, // How blurry the background is. Higher value = more blur.
scale: 1.1, // How much the blurred background extends beyond the video. 1.1 = 10% larger.
opacity: 0.7, // The visibility of the ambient light. 0.7 = 70% opaque.
};
50 is a good starting point.1.1 means it's 10% larger than the video player.0.7 is 70% visible.This script relies on the specific HTML class names used by the Plex web player. If Plex updates its website in the future, this script may need to be updated to continue functioning.
