#

I recently in a support chat and updated to 1.18.0. I now need help cleaning up my config.yml file and the movies.yml file.

Please complete #938455615741775902 and someone from the community or one of our <@&938443185347244033> members will respond when they're available.

Including the meta.log from the beginning is a huge help use !logs for more information.

pulsar tendon Dec 14, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

okay? and now?

#

dont you think that maybe sharing your config and movies.yml with us would be a good start? and a meta.log of a complete so we can see what errors you are getting?

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

pulsar tendon Dec 14, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

these are the general hints for updating to 1.18

#

go through them, adjust your config, let pmm run

#

if you have still trouble, then share the meta.log file with us and we can take a look

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:37 AM

#

Yep, this all started because I was trying to add writers to my movies.yml file and its not working. Plus, I wanted to change sorting so it would sort the actors from config.yml with the people I have in movies.yml

📎 config.yml 📎 Movies.yml 📎 meta.log

pulsar tendon Dec 14, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

- git: PMM/movie/seasonal

and all those in your config, as the bot message above explains, you need to change them to keep them working in 1.18.0

sly mica Yep, this all started because I was trying to add writers to my movies.yml file ...

the sorting was explained in detail how to make it sort properly

pulsar tendon Dec 14, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

go through them and update the config, then make a pmm run and see what the meta.log says

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

I added that !17_ like someone told me to do but it doesn't work

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

because of how you added it, you have one template and you set that one template with the !17_

#

so everything you use with that template applies that sort

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:41 AM

#

I have a question about removing the overlay references and adding the - pmm: ribbon. I had a hard time getting the audience rating on my overlays and I don't want to lose that with the new way. I think I had to add this to it so it would show the audience rating. yaml operations: mass_audience_rating_update: mdb_tomatoesaudience

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:42 AM

#

analog citrus because of how you added it, you have one template and you set that one template...

I don't know what that means. Someone told me to add !17_ and then increment each one below it to a higher number.

pulsar tendon Dec 14, 2022, 2:42 AM

#

im out

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:43 AM

#

Lol I don't understand the sorting and that's why I'm here for help

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:43 AM

#

put quotes around your sort title

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:44 AM

#

like this? yaml "sort_title": !17_<<collection_name>>

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

no around your sort title

#

around !17_<<collection....

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

Not sure what my sort title means. I really have no clue what !17_ means. Like this yaml sort_title: "!17_<<collection_name>>"

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

so if your collection is Denzel Washinton, then the sort_title will be !17_Denzel Washington

#

this keeps them all grouped together, rather than having actors mixed with directors, or genres, etc

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

That makes sense. I guess we chose "17" just because that's the number following the actor sorting in config.yml? Also, why does it need a "!"? Is that just the syntax?

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

it has to do with asci sorting

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:51 AM

#

Yea, I don't know anything about asci sorting. So is my syntax above correct for where to put the quotes or do the quotes only go around !17_ like yaml sort_title: "!17_"<<collection_name>>

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:52 AM

#

it goes like i showed you, and what you had above with quotes around the sort title

#

and what editor are you using? cause that would also help show you errors

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

I downloaded Visual Studio Code like you or someone else suggested. I did see that line in red when I had no quotes.

#

The program shows that line is okay if I have the quotes around !17_ or around the entire thing.

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 2:55 AM

#

ok, like i said they need to go around the whole thing

sly mica Dec 14, 2022, 2:56 AM

#

okay, thanks. So these lines should be good now? yaml templates: Actor: actor: tmdb tmdb_person: <<person>> tmdb_actor_details: <<person>> sort_title: "!17_<<collection_name>>" sync_mode: sync collection_order: release collection_mode: hide Director: director: tmdb tmdb_person: <<person>> tmdb_actor_details: <<person>> sort_title: "!18_<<collection_name>>" sync_mode: sync collection_order: release collection_mode: hide Producer: director: tmdb tmdb_person: <<person>> tmdb_actor_details: <<person>> sort_title: "!19_<<collection_name>>" sync_mode: sync collection_order: release collection_mode: hide

coral prism Dec 14, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

There is nothing magic about the !. Pies sorts things in alphabetical order based on that sort title field. That's what ASCII sorting is. The ! pushes it to the top of the list since it sorts alphabetically before most characters.

analog citrus Dec 14, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

@sly mica did you try this?

iron kraken Dec 14, 2022, 4:18 AM

Did you open this thread for reason as opposed to the other thread? Maybe it got closed but we should have continued there IMO.

that one maybe?

Yeah I think it was because that thread got closed to inactivity

However, we could have reopened it to continue the discussion… in any case, hopefully, squidbillies can get things sorted out. (Pun intended)

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.

Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager.

It won't let me open that other ticket is why I started this one. I checked this morning and the sorting did work how I wanted. It also added the two writers but sorted them oddly. How do I sort these two lines with the other !17_ items? I guess these are writers and should be !20_ but I don't know where to add the sort_title: for these two items. yaml George Lucas: tmdb_writer_details: 1 Stephen King: tmdb_writer_details: 3027

pulsar tendon Dec 14, 2022, 12:09 PM

#

  George Lucas:
    tmdb_writer_details: 1
    sort_title: "!20_George Lucas"
  Stephen King:
    tmdb_writer_details: 3027
    sort_title: "!20_Stephen King"

#

or you make a template for writers too like you did for directors and actors and producers

#

It won't let me open that other ticket is why I started this one.
it was closed because you didnt reply anymore for ~2 days.
and it can be reopened for you if you had let anyone know. i have now reopened the old thread for you and its up to @iron kraken and you in which thread you want to continue this journey down the rabbit hole...
