`title_format` and `name` not overriding Dynamic Collection names | Kometa | Page 1

I just updated to 1.18 and on the first run, all my genre collections (using PMM's default genre files) have been duplicated, in both TV shows and Movies. Also, is there a way to change the names back to just "[Genre]" rather than "[Genre] Shows" and "[Genre] Movies"?

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.

I imagine you are using the default metadata files; customizing the genre collection names is covered here under "template variables":
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/defaults/both/genre.html

#

You will probably want to do a run with -dc to delete all collections first, or delete the unwanted ones manually.

There are operations you can enable to delete collections that meet various criteria, but if you know which ones they are it's probably simpler to just delete them in the UI.

yes, i'm using the defaults. i see in the release notes that they're not packaged with PMM and don't need to be git'd (got? :P) ... is there any changes I should make to my config file to fix that?

vale thicket Dec 22, 2022, 4:07 PM

#

The defaults are now included in the repo or docker image; there is nothing additional you have to do.

they're not packaged

Or perhaps this was supposed to be now

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 if you want to change the name back to just <Genre> you would have to manually override the name of each one.

template_variables:
  name_action: Action
  name_adventure: Adventure etc etc

The other option is to copy this file and run it locally, removing << library_typeU>>s from the title_format:

#

I don't know if Sohjiro could potentially include title_format as a template variable, which would be the "easiest" solution for you

frank sky Dec 22, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

or just give it the title_format you want as a template var

keen pier Dec 22, 2022, 4:22 PM

frank sky or just give it the title_format you want as a template var

title_format isn't a temp var according to the docs

for the -dc command, would that be
docker run --rm -v "/var/services/homes/USER/plex-meta-manager:/config:rw" meisnate12/plex-meta-manager -dc?

docker run --rm -v "/var/services/homes/USER/plex-meta-manager:/config:rw" meisnate12/plex-meta-manager --run is what I have set in my task scheduler to run nightly (frankly I don't understand most of the letters but I think someone here told me to use that and it's been working)

vale thicket Dec 22, 2022, 4:46 PM

docker 
run     # create and start a container right now
--rm    # remove the container when it finishes
-v "SOME/PATH:/config:rw" # map /SOME/PATH into the container at `/config`, read-write
meisnate12/plex-meta-manager # base the container on this image
-dc     # PMM runtime flag to delete all collections first
-r      # PMM runtime flag to tell PMM to do its thing right this second

#

Available runtime flags are found here:
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/home/environmental.html

keen pier Dec 22, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

you can combine the flags. i.e. "only run operations and overlays" (-op -ov), which would exclude collections/metadata/playlists

frank sky or just give it the title_format you want as a template var

can confirm that adding title_format: <<key_name>> into the template variables doesn't seem to have an effect

Logs?

keen pier Dec 22, 2022, 9:57 PM

is title_format definitely a template variable?

#

it isn't mentioned in the docs @frank sky

frank sky Dec 22, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

It’s mentioned somewhere that dynamic collection attribute can be passed as template variables

also PMM didn't create the Country collections in TV and Anime libraries for some reason--but it did create them in Movies

#

which is unrelated but I figure if i'm including my log file anyway

keen pier Dec 22, 2022, 11:17 PM

#

@worldly plaza by any chance did you manually delete these collections (either via -dc in the run command, in Plex itself, or another method) at any point in the past?

#

I think I know what the issue is here, and I know of a manual workaround but I want Sohjiro to provide his input here.

You can monitor the discussion in #1055621691402891284 as it's easier to keep the conversation in one place.

I did that earlier, because I ended up with a bunch of duplicates

Thanks, that helps back up my theory

Title Format: <<key_name>> did actually get passed in but i forgot that we are now using translations try providing name: <<key_name>>

Find meta.log in config/logs/

Drag it in the Discord thread - the whole thing, DO NOT EDIT IT

that worked!

#

it did duplicate the genre collections again but I just went through and deleted them

keen pier Dec 24, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

Yeah it will do that if the collection name has changed

#

But glad it worked 👍🏻
