Hello!

[dusty root]

I am trying to create a playlist, from the Wiki I got this example and changed it to my needs as follows:

  The Rookie:
    sync_mode: sync
    libraries: Movies, TV Shows
    sync_to_users: all
    trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/yasve/lists/the-rookie-order?sort=released,desc```
I placed this in my ```config.yml``` file, but for some reason it ended up as a collection, not as playlist. I am actually riddled, since I only took the example config from https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/metadata/playlist.html and changed that a bit to my needs.

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.

Can you provide your log file please

Providing Log Files

If you are not already in one, open a thread in #pmm-help

Find meta.log in config/logs/

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

Log file too big? USE PASTEBIN or ZIP THE FILE

Still confused? ¯\(ツ)/¯

Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!

[dusty root]

Sure, I will make a fresh log file, so I will have to make PMM run too. Will take a while. 😓

[sonic hornet]

You can use your existing log?

[dusty root]

I never cleaned the logs at all, so the log file was huge. I cleaned the logs folder now, to be sure a new log file is created and only a relevant log is being created.

[sonic hornet]

you only need to grab meta.log, not the entire folder

if it was your previous run, it would be meta.log.1

[dusty root]

Ah, I didn't know it makes a new log file for each run already. 🙂

[sonic hornet]

Yeah we store the last 10 runs 🙂

[dusty root]

Good to know, thanks! 🙂 I think the run is almost done now too. 😉

EDIT:
It's going through the playlists now, actually.

The log file, quite large, with around 6MB of log file when extracted

I should've run with the --playlists-only toggle 😓

EDIT:
The error on the Sonarr quality profile has been fixed by the way.

[sonic hornet]

So it all looks fine to me

Your playlists look fine

[dusty root]

But I don't get why the playlist of 'The Rookie' ends up as collection in Plex and not as the chronological order list of episodes in a playlist?

[velvet sandal]

this doesnt go in your config

it goes in a playlist file thats called out by your config

[dusty root]

For each playlist a different file that needs to be called in config? I was hoping to be able to use a single file for the whole config. If I have to seperate it, than so be it, obviously.

[velvet sandal]

you can have multiple playlists in a single file just like collections

but that file needs to be called from the config

[dusty root]

OK, I will try that when I can, I am now fixing the ZFS pool and it's config, and am currently moving the data for it, so I have to wait before I can try this again. Thanks for the information!

my_playlists.yml in your config folder

 playlists:
   The Rookie:
     sync_mode: sync
     libraries: Movies, TV Shows
     sync_to_users: all
     trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/yasve/lists/the-rookie-order?sort=released,desc
   Second Playlist for The Rookie:
     sync_mode: sync
     libraries: Movies, TV Shows
     sync_to_users: all
     trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/yasve/lists/the-rookie-order?sort=released,desc

then call out the file under playlist_files like so

 playlist_files:
   - file: config/my_playlist.yml
   - pmm: playlist
     template_variables:
       arrow:
         use_key: false
       mcu:
         use_key: true
         radarr_add_missing_mcu: true
         sonarr_add_missing_mcu: true
       dcau:
         use_key: false
       pokemon:
         use_key: false
       startrek:
         use_key: false
       starwars:
         use_key: true
         radarr_add_missing_sw: true
         sonarr_add_missing_sw: true
       clonewars:
         use_key: false
       xmen:
         use_key: false
       radarr_add_missing_mcu: true
       sonarr_add_missing_mcu: true

also now that i look at it

thats not how template_variables work either

 playlist_files:
   - file: config/my_playlist.yml
   - pmm: playlist
     template_variables:
       use_arrow: false
       use_mcu: true
       radarr_add_missing_mcu: true
       sonarr_add_missing_mcu: true
       use_dcau: false
       use_pokemon: false
       use_startrek: false
       radarr_add_missing_starwars: true
       sonarr_add_missing_starwars: true
       use_clonewars: false
       use_xmen: false

I haven't migrated my config to the new way and settings yet. These settings are from when git: was being used in the config. I didn't take the time yet to rewrite everything. But thanks for the help and heads-up! I appreciate it, also the work that's been put into PMM itself. It's an amazing tool that adds a lot of usefulness for me.
