"The Trial" is a remux, the rest are WEB-DL's
What would I need to add/change in my config to have Remuxes and Blurays etc have an overlay?
the overlay that does that is "video_format"
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/defaults/overlays/video_format.html
Based on that config I have no idea why you have those overlays.
hmm thats the only config I have for my 4k library besides the actual 4k overlay
The other one is
overlays: 4K-HDR Overlay: plex_search: all: resolution: 4K hdr: true overlay: name: 4K url: https://i.imgur.com/WXeN8Si.png 4K Overlay: plex_search: all: resolution: 4K hdr: false overlay: name: 4K-nonHDR url: https://i.imgur.com/QnzLMU7.png Dolby Overlay: plex_search: all: resolution: 4K dolby: true overlay: name: 4K-Dolby url: https://imgur.com/a/iq24Jvu
Config.yml calls both of those config files for my UHD Movies
I suspect some earlier experiments put that "WEB" overlay on there and now the "non-overlaid" posters in Plex have that "WEB" lozenge in the corner.
I found where it is
Those 4K overlays you just posted are all now done by -pmm: resolution
in my config
UHD Movies: metadata_path: - file: config/UHDMovies.yml overlay_path: - pmm: resolution - pmm: video_format - remove_overlays: false
yeah, i saw that.
why doesn't "- pmm: video_format" also overlay for Remux and Blurays?
Because that overlay file doesn't do those overlays. Those are done by - pmm: video_format
I can't quite figure out what's happening with these fragments of a config file. Can you post your latest log?
yes, one second
it applied the WEB overlays, but nothing for Blurays or Remuxes or anything else
First, none of these libraries will have resolution or video format overlays because the config doesn't contain them, unless you've added those to those overlay files of your own that they are all using:
Movies:
Christmas:
Documentaries:
TV Shows:
Anime:
Test:
TV Reality:
Kids Movies:

I only want video format for my UHD Movies library, nothing more
Mainly because I made the decision to allow non Remuxes recently, and seeing what kind of 4k movie it is before watching is quite good to know and this overlay looks quite neat and tidy
Right, and I'd know that because?
In any case, this library:
UHD Movies:
metadata_path:
- file: config/UHDMovies.yml
overlay_path:
- pmm: resolution
- pmm: video_format
- remove_overlays: false
Will have the resolution overlay in the UL and the video format in the LL.
in my config, it shows - pmm: video_format under UHD movies
Yes, that's what its doing at the moment, but it only works for WEB overlays
And this one:
UHD TV:
metadata_path:
- file: config/UHDTV.yml
overlay_path:
- pmm: resolution
- reapply_overlays: false
- remove_overlays: false
- git: PMM/overlays/resolution
template_variables:
overlay_level: season
- git: PMM/overlays/resolution
template_variables:
overlay_level: episode
will have the resolution in the UL and no video format because that files in not in the config.
Yep, thats how it is, and also how I want that library to be
Almost certainly your files are not named according to the TRaSH standards, which is what these overlays rely on.
I'll show you a typical example of how my files are renamed (as by Radarr)
The Trial (1962) Remux-2160p.mkv
Alpha (2018) WEBDL-2160p.mkv
Dog (2022) WEBDL-2160p.mkv
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) Remux-2160p.mkv
The naming structure is the same through-out my library
That's not the expected format, so the regex to identify the video format isn't catching them:
| 1151 IDs Found
| 49 Items found for WEB Overlay
...
| No Items found for REMUX Overlay
...
| No Items found for BLU-RAY Overlay
...
| No Items found for HDTV Overlay
...
| No Items found for DVD Overlay
...
| No Items found for SDTV Overlay
...
It's expecting [remux [any case] with the leading [.
When using third-party services such as Sonarr or Radarr to manage media, we recommend following the TRaSH Guides Recommended Naming Scheme guide to ensure compatibility when using the PMM Default Overlay files.
Without using these naming schemes, we cannot guarantee that the default PMM overlays will work with your library.

So it needs a . before the word Remux?
For example:
The Trial (1962) [Remux-1080p 8-bit h264 DTS-HD MA 2.0]-geiN.mkv
Alpha (2018) {edition-Theatrical} [Remux-1080p 8-bit AVC DTS-HD MA 5.1]-PmP.mkv
Dog (2022) [Remux-1080p 8-bit AVC DTS-HD MA 5.1]-playBD.mkv
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) [Remux-1080p 8-bit VC1 AC3 5.1]-HiFi.mkv
No. a [.
okay, weirdly none of my WEBDL's have a [ and they're detected
different regex for that one.
Collection Filter filepath.regex: ['(?i)Web[ ._-]?(dl|rip)']
so would [ work for all formats?
All I can say for sure is that if you name your files to the trash standard the existing default video format overlays will work as expected on those files given that the formats they contain are covered by the default overlays.
I can't give a blanket answer for "all formats" since I don't know what that means to you.
{Movie Title} ({Release Year}) [{Quality Full}]
If I have Radarr to use this naming standard, would all formats be detectable by PMM
I've pointed you to the reference above. What you're asking about does not match the "Standard Movie Format" as shown on that page, so maybe it will work, maybe it won't. I don't want to give you a blanket yes or no given that you're asking me about some format that isn't the expected standard and don't want to give you the wrong answer then have you blame me for problems.
The filenames I pasted above are some of mine, which work as expected.
The regexes in use by all the overlays are in the open in the YML files for testing.
Okay, thanks I guess I'll test one of each kind and see how it goes
Before you rename things look at the regexes to see what it's expecting, or just rename your files to the trash standard.
