Welcome!
Someone from <@&938443185347244033> will assist when they're available.
Including the meta.log from the beginning is a huge help, type !logs for more information.

PMM should rescan the file on each run and change overlays as and when required
if that isn't happening, can you post the log file of the run and also the filename of the downgraded video you've got
Hi Yozora, long time no see haha dont know if u remember me used. I used to be active here a long time ago :) I'll post the log file in a sec
I recognise the name 🙂
robocop.1987.dc.2160p.uhd.bluray.x265-guhzer.mkv
oh no yes maybe I should've updated before asking dumb questions hahaha
I'll get on that, honestly i forgot totally updating is a thing LMAO
a year old 😄
NOTE: This is addressing UPDATING your current setup, not changing from, for instance, latest to nightly.
The update method depends on how you installed it.
I'm running locally and got the code by downloading the zip file:
Download a new zip file, uncompress it, and move your config dir into that new directory. Reinstall requirements.
This is the "fussiest" method of update.
I'm running locally and retrieved the code via git:
cd DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOU_PUT_PMM
git checkout BRANCH_NAME
git stash
git stash clear
git pull
For BRANCH_NAME, substitute master, develop, or nightly
You may need to reinstall requirements if switching branch or updating to a new major version:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Those stash commands are going to discard any changes you may have made to PMM's own files. If that's a concern, you are probably familiar enough with git to know what you need to do instead.
I'm using docker locally:
docker pull meisnate12/plex-meta-manager:TAG_HERE
replace TAG_HERE with latest, develop, or nightly
Then recreate your container via whatever means you used to create it [docker run, docker-compose, etc.].
I'm using docker on a NAS or some other remote context:
Update the image using whatever means the NAS provides.
Depending on the system, this might be a simple rebuild of the container, or you may need to manually pull the new image first.
Glad to see its still very active! Thanks for the instruction I'll update rn 😂
Oh you'll be using the old overlay system too I am guessing
well, not guessing, you are
it got an overhaul in 1.18
So I will have to rewrite my config?
Better start reading the documentation before i update lmaooo
send me the libraries section of your config.yml
libraries: # Library mappings must have a colon (:) placed after them

metadata_path:
- file: config/Movies.yml
settings: # Can be individually specified per library as well

overlays are now defined in separate files from overlays, like this:
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- file: config/Movies.yml
overlay_path:
- remove_overlays: false
- file: config/Overlays.yml
ohhhh I seeee
we also have the PMM Defaults which are overlays that we have made for users who don't want to manually create them
They're modular, so you can pick and choose the ones you want and don't want
oh yess I saw that and I saw that the badge for 4k HDR i made for my library and posted here is being used
Pretty cool :D
so if you wanted this you would do:
libraries:
Movies:
overlay_path:
- pmm: resolution
yesss thats perfect cuz thats exactly the badge I have for my library
if you're having to rewrite, it's worth you checking what you actually want vs what you can replace with PMM Defaults which will be easier 🙂
There's a list of Collections and Overlays that you can call on this page:
https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/defaults/files.html
Each page has a screenshot showing what they look like.
I have a very simple setup so I feel like the defaults will go a long way, I'll check the documentation
Nice thank you!
Thank you so much for ur help Yozora 
If you decide you don't want 480p resolution overlays, each resolution is given a "key" which you can use to control it, like this:
libraries:
Movies:
overlay_path:
- pmm: resolution
template_variables:
use_480p: false
The page for each Overlay file lists the keys you can use and all of the options you can use to move them around the page etc
ohhhh so u can filter them out, thats perfect because I wanted to have different overlays for DV and normal HDR
u can do that with HDR settings too?
We have separate overlays for DV and HDR with all of the resolutions
so it will say 4K HDR or 4K DV
Oh perfect!!!
That's great!!
Thank you so much for ur help!! I'll start reading the documentation now
and you can do use_dv: false if you don't want to see the DV logo at all, same with use_hdr: false if you only want the resolutions without the DV or HDR
👍
Damn the new system has so much new stuff maybe I should've updated earlier instead of waiting a year lmaooo
I saw I was credited for some stuff in the files, thats cool! :)
I'll upload my other stuff in case its in any use
or if u guys need any artwoork im always here to help!
artwork*
Cheers 🙂 Always good to have stuff in the Configs repo!
🙏
btw if you use Defaults Collections they all have matching posters
that looks so good! Now I have to update hahaha
🤣!
Cheers Yozora, I'll start reading the documentation now
Thank you so so much for ur help!

@past hill sorry quick question, is there any way to delete the overlays from my movies on the version I'm running? Thinking it might be a good idea before I update
I'm headed to bed but I would suggest upgrading and then doing a run with mass_poster_update set to tmdb
You can find that setting on the wiki
That will reset all your posters back to the TMDb poster
Okay great thanks! :D
There is a lot that has changed… it’s not 100 clear what May or may not work. Although what Yozora mentioned would be a good first step. Then with the new meta.log we can assist further if you are stuck
FYI, we added translation capabilities as well since you were last here. I don’t think you are a native English speaker if I recall so that might also be a cool feature that you’ll want to enable when ready
