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.

Providing Log Files

1: Go to your config folder

2: Go into the logs folder

3: Look for meta.log (not meta.1.log etc)

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

5: Still confused? ¯\(ツ)/¯

Log file too big? USE PASTEBIN or ZIP THE FILE

Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!

Based on the error you likely have a spacing/indentation error. However, in your attachment, since it’s not complete, we cannot help much. Hence the need for the logs please

Recommended Text Editors

We highly recommend to use a decent editor software to manage PMM´s .yml files.

Standard text editors (such as Notepad and TextEdit) often save text in a rich-text format which can result in text formatted in a way that PMM cannot read. But not only that, they also make it very hard to visually distinguish the formatting, such as indentation.
PMM requires indents to always be multiples of 2 spaces, and not TAB stops. If you have one space too much, or too few, it is very hard to notice that with a editor like Notepad.
An editor that is more focused on editing code instead of text will automatically detect the .YML fileformat and adjust things to make it easier to work. They can also try to detect possible errors even before you actually run the .yml in PMM.

This can save a lot of time and headaches.
