Hey Guys, I am having an error with my Overlays section of my PMM - error is as follows

| modules.util.Failed: YAML Error: mapping values are not allowed here                               |

well it seems that you are on an older version of PMM. Can you uodate it?

Updating PMM

NOTE: This is addressing UPDATING your current setup, not changing from, for instance, latest to nightly.

The update method depends on how you installed it.

I'm running locally and got the code by downloading the zip file:
Download a new zip file, uncompress it, and move your config dir into that new directory. Reinstall requirements.

This is the "fussiest" method of update.

I'm running locally and retrieved the code via git:

cd DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOU_PUT_PMM
git checkout BRANCH_NAME
git stash
git stash clear
git pull

For BRANCH_NAME, substitute master, develop, or nightly

You may need to reinstall requirements if switching branch or updating to a new major version:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Those stash commands are going to discard any changes you may have made to PMM's own files. If that's a concern, you are probably familiar enough with git to know what you need to do instead.

I'm using docker locally:

docker pull meisnate12/plex-meta-manager:TAG_HERE

replace TAG_HERE with latest, develop, or nightly

Then recreate your container via whatever means you used to create it [docker run, docker-compose, etc.].

I'm using docker on a NAS or some other remote context:

Update the image using whatever means the NAS provides.
Depending on the system, this might be a simple rebuild of the container, or you may need to manually pull the new image first.

fathom hatch Nov 24, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

yes i can definitely update it, can i simply just drag over my previous configured files or will i need to start over?

#

Updated to v1.18.0 and still receiving the same error unfortunately

Upgrading PMM Defaults to 1.18.0

As part of 1.18.0, a few major changes have been made to the PMM Default files that will impact how you use them within your config.yml

Merged into ribbon: oscars, imdb_top_250, rt_cert_fresh, mc_must_see, commonsense_selection
Merged into resolution: resolution_standards & special_release
Renamed to language_count: audio_language

To transition from pre-1.18.0 versions to 1.18.0, you must do the following, or you will see errors in your log and previously working overlays will no longer be applied.

Upgrading to the ribbon PMM Default file
1) Remove any reference to these files in your config.yml:

- git: PMM/overlays/oscars
- git: PMM/overlays/imdb_top_250
- git: PMM/overlays/rt_cert_fresh
- git: PMM/overlays/mc_must_see
- git: PMM/overlays/commonsense_selection

2) Add a reference to this file (only once!)

- pmm: ribbon

As only one ribbon image can be placed at a time, the priority list is currently:
oscars (weight 40)
imdb (weight 30)
rotten (Weight 20)
metacritic (Weight 10)
common (Weight 5)

To alter these positions,you can use template variables, like so:

- pmm: ribbon
  template_variables:
    weight_common: 100 #Makes it first on the list
    weight_imdb: 90 #Makes it second on the list

Upgrading to the resolution PMM Default file
1) Remove any reference to these files in your config.yml:

- git: PMM/overlays/special_release
- git: PMM/resolution_standards

Upgrading from audio_language to the language_count PMM Default file
1) Remove any reference to these files in your config.yml:

- git: PMM/overlays/audio_language

2) Add a reference to this file

- pmm: language_count

So some will be transferable and others won’t

#

As of 1.18, we only need your meta.log

fathom hatch Nov 24, 2022, 11:55 PM

#

okay no worries, that previous post has the meta log attatched

weak verge Nov 24, 2022, 11:58 PM

#

And where did you get this config file… the overlay path line looks incorrect

lavish swallowBOT Nov 24, 2022, 11:59 PM

#

PMM Defaults

Plex Meta Manager provides a set of pre-made Metadata and Overlay files, allowing you to get the most commonly-used collections and overlays without having to manually set them up yourself.

You can learn more about them here
basically:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
    - pmm: actor
    - pmm: genre
    overlay_path:
    - remove_overlays: false
    - pmm: ribbon
    - pmm: ratings

and so on.

They offer a degree of customization. That customization mechanism is described at the link.

If you ALSO want to use your local My-Movies.yml, you can add it to the config like this:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
    - file: config/My-Movies.yml
    - pmm: actor
    - pmm: genre
    overlay_path:
    - remove_overlays: false
    - pmm: ribbon
    - pmm: ratings

It should be noted that users running the on nightly branch of Plex Meta Manager will receive all updates to the PMM Defaults as soon as they are published via GitHub, which may at times involve bugs or implementations that need to be further addressed. Users of the develop and master branches will only receive updated Defaults files when an update to Plex Meta Manager is released - this helps to keep these branches stable and prevent bugs from reaching the wider user-base.

i grabbed it from the sample config.yml movies overlays section at https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/defaults/overlays.html

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

Hmmm… this is what I see in the wiki…

#

And you seem to have a path in the same line as the overlay_path: line

#

Maybe because I am on my phone I don’t see that…

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:03 AM

#

wow that's very odd, i see reapply_overlay: true instead of false

#

where on earth am i looking ahaha

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:04 AM

#

Like I said… and you don’t have the new naming as shown on that example

#

So maybe you copied your config from another location but this seems to be the source of your issues… an invalid config.yml file

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

yep, i know my config works perfect as soon as i take out anything that has to do with overlays

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

So in that case, ensure that you copy from the wiki?

#

At least the overlay section

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:06 AM

#

ahaha yes i can do it again

#

that image that you posted, is that from the bottom config?

#

cause the one i got was in the middle of the page

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:06 AM

#

And then review the mee6 message for the changes to 1.18 that might affect your other items

#

Yes mine from bottom

#

Let me look again

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

ahhhh

#

i copied mine from where it says Note: This uses fonts not packaged with PMM. See bullmoose20’s Configs

#

right below "example poster overlays"

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:10 AM

#

Right… so this is what you have in your log file:

#

Show me where on that page does it actually have a line that has what I hilited above

#

Because we need to fix it if you do find it or others will run into the same problem as you.

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:12 AM

#

Oh, that bit i did add in myself, sorry for that confusion...

#

i added that because it was throwing an error when it was empty

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:12 AM

#

Same thing for TV Shows one

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:12 AM

#

yep, both added by me

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:12 AM

#

Let’s remove that line, rerun… and post the logs

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:13 AM

#

the config/Overlays.yml was added by me

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:13 AM

#

Both addendums

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:13 AM

#

okay sure thing :)

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:15 AM

#

Secondly, as you may or may not be aware, yml files are very sensitive to spacing and indentation.

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:16 AM

#

that's awesome to know, thanks for the heads up - the test is currently running

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:16 AM

#

So we recommend some editors (free) to help ensure that you don’t run into issues around that.

lavish swallowBOT Nov 25, 2022, 12:17 AM

#

Recommended Text Editors

We highly recommend to use a decent editor software to manage PMM´s .yml files.

Standard text editors (such as Notepad and TextEdit) often save text in a rich-text format which can result in text formatted in a way that PMM cannot read. But not only that, they also make it very hard to visually distinguish the formatting, such as indentation.
PMM requires indents to always be multiples of 2 spaces, and not TAB stops. If you have one space too much, or too few, it is very hard to notice that with a editor like Notepad.
An editor that is more focused on editing code instead of text will automatically detect the .YML fileformat and adjust things to make it easier to work. They can also try to detect possible errors even before you actually run the .yml in PMM.

This can save a lot of time and headaches.

Visual Studio Code (Windows/Mac/Linux, Opensource & Free)
Website

Notepad++ (Windows only, Opensource & Free)
Website

Sublime Text (Windows/Mac/Linux, Paid)
Website

For further details and a short list of highly recommended extensions, you can also take a look at our Reddit post.

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:17 AM

#

I am currently on Notepad++ :)

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:17 AM

#

Vscode with the indent-rainbow plugin are great

#

N++ is great, but it does not have the indent-rainbow plugin.

#

In any case, it’s more to ensure that you were aware. That’s all.

#

How is that run going?

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:18 AM

#

it's looking better now

#

#

apologies for the image, i tried to capture it as it was running

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:19 AM

#

Ok.. so it looks like it was a copy paste error then?

#

And maybe a version upgrade that was needed

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:20 AM

#

i think you might be right, i only deleted what you suggested and ran it again - nothing else was changed

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:20 AM

#

Because thé pmm: stuff only got implemented in 1.18

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:20 AM

#

ohhhhhh

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:20 AM

#

So it was a combo of things

#

Probably complained it was empty before 1.18 upgrade because it did not find any overlays using the PMM:

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

i see now, it was just still stuck behind that first error that i created myself by having -pmm in a 1.17 version

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

yes

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

and having the custom config thing that i typed too

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:22 AM

#

And then the second error was because of the addendums

#

All good

#

Anything else?

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:22 AM

#

i appreciate your help, since this is the first time it's actually running, from looking at my config when will the posters start to update with the overlays?

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:22 AM

#

You should probably be seeing some of the overlays being applied to plex movies by now… 😉

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:23 AM

#

read my question even before it was there ahahahaha

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:23 AM

#

I would say check now…

How many movies do you have?

#

Ballpark?

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:23 AM

#

1.7k :)

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:23 AM

#

Might still be processing

#

I would need to see the logs to tell you when

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:24 AM

#

currently i can see it's re-building the collections again

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:24 AM

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:26 AM

Get to the command prompt there and run the following

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:27 AM

#

is it a problem that it says redacted config each time a run starts?

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:28 AM

#

Not that I know of.

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:28 AM

#

right after it reads config.yml it says redacted

#

doesn't bother me then

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:28 AM

#

We don’t want to se your pins and api keys

#

So that gets redacted

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:28 AM

#

oh awesome

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:28 AM

#

Otherwise we would ask the following g

lavish swallowBOT Nov 25, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

Providing a redacted config.yml file

You have been asked to provide your config file, which will allow us to support you further.

Please DO NOT share your config.yml file as is without redacting it. It contains information that you do not want the public to have, nor do we need it to troubleshoot your scenario in MOST cases.

We will use a regex parser to redact the file for you.

:one: Goto https://regex101.com/r/DMo1DQ/latest
:two: Copy the contents of your config.yml to the TEST STRING box in that page
:three: The results will be immediate and found in the SUBSTITUTION box below
:four: From the SUBSTITUTION box, select all, then copy and paste the redacted text into the channel where you want to share your config. (You will see (redacted) where confidential information was replaced)

Consider using Discord code blocks when sharing small parts of your config file. Check out !code for more info on code blocks

Pre-1.18 we used the above a lot

#

Now it’s all built into the logs

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

yep gotcha, lots of machine and account information

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

Exactly

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

okay overlays are thinking no

#

now

#

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:31 AM

#

So while the current command I gave you will skip operations and skip collections, it willl still need to look at the overlays you want to apply and decide what posters need the overlays… and once that completes it will apply

Upgrading PMM Defaults to 1.18.0

As part of 1.18.0, a few major changes have been made to the PMM Default files that will impact how you use them within your config.yml

Merged into ribbon: oscars, imdb_top_250, rt_cert_fresh, mc_must_see, commonsense_selection
Merged into resolution: resolution_standards & special_release
Renamed to language_count: audio_language

To transition from pre-1.18.0 versions to 1.18.0, you must do the following, or you will see errors in your log and previously working overlays will no longer be applied.

Upgrading to the ribbon PMM Default file
1) Remove any reference to these files in your config.yml:

- git: PMM/overlays/oscars
- git: PMM/overlays/imdb_top_250
- git: PMM/overlays/rt_cert_fresh
- git: PMM/overlays/mc_must_see
- git: PMM/overlays/commonsense_selection

2) Add a reference to this file (only once!)

- pmm: ribbon

As only one ribbon image can be placed at a time, the priority list is currently:
oscars (weight 40)
imdb (weight 30)
rotten (Weight 20)
metacritic (Weight 10)
common (Weight 5)

To alter these positions,you can use template variables, like so:

- pmm: ribbon
  template_variables:
    weight_common: 100 #Makes it first on the list
    weight_imdb: 90 #Makes it second on the list

Upgrading to the resolution PMM Default file
1) Remove any reference to these files in your config.yml:

- git: PMM/overlays/special_release
- git: PMM/resolution_standards

Upgrading from audio_language to the language_count PMM Default file
1) Remove any reference to these files in your config.yml:

- git: PMM/overlays/audio_language

2) Add a reference to this file

- pmm: language_count

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

See what it says in this message?? Your gonna want to remove the special_release… it was merged into resolution.

#

But that error should not crash the run

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

oh man sorry

#

i have only done this once before

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

It’s fine

#

You can remove that reference in your config.yml file

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:33 AM

#

removing it now

#

cause i had another error

#

but i think it was radarr, so i will check in a moment

#

oh wait i know why, don't mind me

#

okay gonna run it one more time while everything is working, give me a moment

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:34 AM

#

Radarr message should not affect overlays

#

Meaning that radarr should not come up in your meta.log

#

Because we are applying overlays

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:35 AM

#

will radarr break that?

#

I have all Arrs connected

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:36 AM

#

I edited what I wrote sorry

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:36 AM

#

oh, no problem :)

#

now i need to try and find the posters that are being edited in my library

#

to confirm that it's working ahaha

#

ah now i am having a plex error... why...

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

Open your library… it’s the first poster first

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

one moment

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

A plex error will affect PMM of course

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:38 AM

#

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:39 AM

#

I am off to dinner but will check in later

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:39 AM

#

thanks for your help!

#

i'll post meta if i am stuck ahaha

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 12:41 AM

#

You will see the overlays applying messages in the logs and then you can look at the plex library

#

It’s fun to watch them being applied

#

Lol

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 12:41 AM

#

i could understand, i enjoy watching the collections being built from the logs ahahaha

#

i'm not sure what's up with the command that you gave me, the one to skip collections and move straight onto overlays, but that for some reason does not connect to my movies library, but when i run python plex_meta_manager.py -r it all runs fine

#

but then i need to proceed through the large collection building ahaha

weak verge Nov 25, 2022, 2:26 AM

#

I would need the logs for the other command to tell you what is happening. Likely there is an error in the overlays section of your config.

#

It’s always the same process… run the command, if things don’t work, review the logs…if you don’t understand the logs, upload them here and get assistance. 🙂

#

Because likely, by moving to the -r only, you will wait until overlays and then it will fail again.

#

It’s important that we understand what the error is rather than saying it’s not connecting… what’s the actual error? 😉

#

I would also recommend setting reapply_overlays: false

#

Having it set to true is used in specific circumstances that the majority of people do not need to have. It does not hurt, but it will delay your runs as ALL overlays will be reapplied regardless of the need to update them or not.

fathom hatch Nov 25, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

The overlays are working well, I appreciate your help - I don't mind not using that command to run for the overlays now as they will go back to a weekly schedule, oh yes I'll definitely change that value once the run is completed

#

Thanks so much, my posters look great now
