[Feature Request] - OSD displays Station ID and Show name (and other text like content rating) at appropriate times
When a show comes back from a commercial break, many TV networks briefly display a customisable lower third text line with:
- Station ID / logo
- Show name
- Content rating (e.g. TV-PG)
It would be great if FieldStation42’s OSD could do the same.
Proposal
- After each commercial break, show an overlay for a few seconds with station ID, show title, and optional rating (or customisable text).
- Display duration and style (corner bug, lower third, etc.) could be configurable.
Benefit
- Adds authenticity by matching how real TV broadcasts look and helps viewers know what they’re watching.
Some shows (like morning cartoons) or weekday morning shows often showed a clock at the bottom right of the screen to allow kids and parents to keep track of the time before school. That could also be implemented as part of this capability.
Good feature - will put it on the roadmap.
