New to PMM and not understanding how to set up a collection based upon a Radarr tag. | Kometa | Page 1

I added a trakt list for my wifes Lifetime movie's. In the wiki and on here I see the following to add to the config file, but I'm not understanind if that will label the collection as Lifetime movies.The movies are all tagged with trakt_lifetime_movies from the persons list.

So if I'm reading this correctly the item_label would label the collection as
trakt_lifetime_movies. Is there another entry that I need to this to name it as
Lifetime movies?

From post here and wiki

collections:
Radarr Tag1 and Tag2 Movies:
radarr_taglist: tag1, tag2
item_label: tag1, tag2

So I should use the following?

collections:
Radarr trakt_lifetime_movies Movies:
radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
item_label: Lifetime 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.

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 7:52 PM

#

so the line underneath the collections line will be the title of the collections

#

collections:
  Lifetime Movies:

#

radarr_taglist: tag1, tag2 will generate a collection based on the tags that you've listed

#

and item_label will add "tag1" and "tag2" as labels, but literally the text "tag1" and "tag2", not the tags from the radarr_taglist

#

Actually I think I'm incorrect and I think the above will work

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 7:57 PM

#

So my entry should be :

  Lifetime Movies:     
  Radarr trakt_lifetime_movies Movies:
    radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
    item_label:Lifetime Movies```

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 7:57 PM

#

remove the third line

#

and add a space after the : in item_label:Lifetime Movies

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

  Lifetime Movies:     
    radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
    item_label: Lifetime Movies```

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 7:58 PM

#

perfect

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

and one final question, do I then add the poster in Plex for the Collection or will it generate a generic poster named Lifetime Movies or do I need to add one?

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

It won't automatically generate one

#

you can add one manually in plex, or you can tell PMM the url of the poster you want:

collections:
  Lifetime Movies:     
    radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
    item_label: Lifetime Movies
    url_poster: https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Images/blob/master/network/Lifetime.jpg?raw=true

#

will give you this poster

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

My wife is going to love this. Thank you so much. So in the future I just find the image and add it at the end of the entry.

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

that's one of the ways, yes 🙂

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

I'll stick with that for now until I learn more.

#

Thanks so much for the help

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

No problem!

#

just to be sure

#

do you need item_label: Lifetime Movies?

#

all that will do is add "Lifetime Movies" as a label to the items - if you have a specific need to do that (such as restricting that label from certain users) then that's fine, but generally it's not really something you need to do.

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

ok.

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

if all you want is a collection based on the radarr taglist, this is all you need:

collections:
  Lifetime Movies:     
    radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
    url_poster: https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Images/blob/master/network/Lifetime.jpg?raw=true

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

I can do that.

#

Thanks again for the help

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

No problem

#

You happy for me to close this thread?

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

yep

I must have done something wrong. The only thing that showed up under Lifetime was 4 tv shows.

#

  Movies:                                       # Each library must match the Plex library name
    metadata_path:
    - file: config/Movies/Movies.yml                   # This is a local file on the system
    - folder: config/Movies/                    # This is a local directory on the system
    - pmm: basic                                # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
    - pmm: imdb                                 # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository

    collections:
      Lifetime Movies:
       radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
       url_poster: https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Images/blob/master/network/Lifetime.jpg?raw=true

#    overlay_path:
#    - remove_overlays: false                    # Set this to true to remove all overlays
#    - file: config/Overlays.yml                 # This is a local file on the system
#    - pmm: ribbon                               # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository```

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

That's concerning if you're running on a Movies library 🤣

#

oh, right

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

right?

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

so you're not using it correctly

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

this is a better view

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

config.yml is effectively an index, you point it to external files (such as - pmm: imdb) which contains your collections.

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:48 PM

#

so you would take this

collections:
  Lifetime Movies:     
    radarr_taglist: trakt_lifetime_movies
    url_poster: https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Images/blob/master/network/Lifetime.jpg?raw=true

and save it as "lifetime.yml" or whatever you want to call it

#

Place it next to your config.yml and then in your config.yml you would put:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
    - file: config/lifetime.yml  # HERE

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:51 PM

#

ok so contents of lifetime.yml

#

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

yup

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

updated config.yml

#

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

if you don't have these files, just delete them from your config.yml

#

those are just placeholders 🙂

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

I have a collection for holidays in that folder

#

would this work also?

#

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:54 PM

#

what folder is this sorry?

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:54 PM

#

adjusting this line

#

Movies

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:54 PM

#

if lifetime.yml is already in the Movies folder then you don't need to call the file individually

#

since it's covered under the "folder" entry

#

you should get rid of this line though:

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

file: config/Movies/lifetime.yml

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

- folder: config/Movies/ is going to run ALL .yml files within the Movies folder

#

so don't call anything individually within that folder as well

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

that makes sense

#

so this

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
    - folder: config/Movies/

#

that's all you need

#

as well as any - pmm: ones

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

perfect

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

ok, off to a work meeting. I will re-run it in about 1/2 an hour

#

running it now, may update in a bit

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

👍

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

I hate it when work gets in the way of Plexing

#

I still have a weird collection in TV

#

lunar spindle Feb 10, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

What's weird about it?

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 10:15 PM

#

I just deleted it and will rerun

#

It wasn't really Lifetime shows. It have You in it

#

I'm sure it was from being misconfigured.

lunar spindle Feb 10, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

Would have to see the collection definition and maybe the log to offer much.

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 10:17 PM

#

I'm rerunning PMM to see if it gets recreated

#

and it came back.

lunar spindle Feb 10, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

the answer will be in the log.

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

I refreshed the browser and it's not there.

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 10:19 PM

#

rough copper

This doesn't seem to be the file we created

#

Lifetime is part of - pmm: network

#

So you may be seeing that if you are using that file on your TV library

#

Whereas Lifetime Movies is the one we created in this thread

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

The collection doesn't show in the search list anymore. I just had to refresh the browser.

#

should it be listed in the collections tab?

#

#

It does show in the alpha list under L

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 10:24 PM

#

So the PMM Defaults have a special sorting title which pushes them to the top

#

If you check the sort title of one of those collections you will see how it's set up

#

You can copy the sort title format to your collection so that it is moved up too

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

like this

#

!01_Newly Released

brave monolith Feb 10, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

Yup

#

So you could do !01_Lifetime and see where it's placed

#

Or !02 etc

rough copper Feb 10, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

That's pretty cool

#

#

ok lets call this closed again. You are awesome
