After discussing in the general chat, I am trying to set up image assets to better manage overlays as recommended. I haven't been able to figure it out. Below are excerpts of my config and hoping can help out.

settings: # Can be individually specified per library as well cache: true cache_expiration: 60 asset_directory: config/assets asset_folders: true assets_for_all: true sync_mode: append show_unmanaged: true show_filtered: false show_missing: true save_missing: true run_again_delay: 2 missing_only_released: false create_asset_folders: true delete_below_minimum: true tvdb_language: default show_missing_assets: true show_missing_season_assets: false delete_not_scheduled: false only_filter_missing: false ignore_ids: ignore_imdb_ids: asset_depth: 0 dimensional_asset_rename: false show_options: false minimum_items: 3 download_url_assets: true default_collection_order: verify_ssl: true playlist_sync_to_users: all show_missing_episode_assets: false show_asset_not_needed: true item_refresh_delay: 0 custom_repo: prioritize_assets: false playlist_report: true check_nightly: false show_unconfigured: true playlist_exclude_users:

With this set:

  Movies:
    operations:
      assets_for_all: true
settings:
  asset_directory: config/assets
  asset_folders: true

PMM will apply this image:

config
├── assets
│   ├── SOME MOVIE TITLE
│       ├── poster.png

To an item with this path:

/whatever/path/to/Movies/SOME MOVIE TITLE/the-file-goes-here.mkv

oh so i need to get those assets manually?

#

it cant pull from plex whats there now?

eager bone
#

Yes, you need to supply the artwork you want to apply.

astral viper
#

ah gotcha

eager bone
#

I do have a script that will pull the current art from Plex.

astral viper
#

oo that would be helpful

eager bone
#

But the point woudl be to only do this for art you want to change from Plex's default.

astral viper
#

oh ok

eager bone
#

When you want to change a poster, just drag it in here instead of into the Plex UI.

#

If you're happy with whatever poster Plex picks, no need to override it here.

astral viper
#

oh ok, I got confused then

#

yeah I am typically happy with what plex picks. its when for whatever reason there was an incorrect match on episodes and overlays has already run, its hard to fix unless you do a plex dance with that show

eager bone
#

Well, you should have some options there now; the plex dance is really a last resort.

astral viper
#

Yeah I think learning how to use that collections thing is the way then to remove the overlay label for the season and episodes within the season

eager bone
#

This sort of thing is part of why I don't use any overlays on seasons or episodes.

I just don't see the value relative to the expense.

astral viper

yup. It was overkill. No need compared to the trouble when things get janky
