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.

All your tokens were in that config.

#

Typically, this is database corruption since Plex normally doesn't let anything create multiple collections with the same name, but can you provide a log of this happening?

"provide log" command detected, if you need more information on how to provide log files, type !logs

so I should recreate my plex database?

#

the log is hard to say because there are like 9 logs and in everyone it could be

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? ยฏ\(ใƒ„)/ยฏ

Log file too big? USE PASTEBIN or ZIP THE FILE

Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!

If you run PMM with -dc it will delete all collections.

You can also delete them in batches in the UI.

#

If that's too much hassle, delete the library and recreate it; that will also delete all collections.

yeah I get that but still way to many XD to delte them manualy I cant take a screen of them all will try running pmm with -dc

If you delete 60 at a time that's only a dozen or so select-delete operations, but suit yourself. Not sure what you expect us to do about it. Plex is doing a thing that it shouldn't allow PMM or anything else to do. There are a few ways to clean up after it.

Nothing relay just iam thankful for all the help I can get

#

*really

#

Thanks again

#

and no problem ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

will close this since its fixing itself

stray yoke
#

Well, hopefully it doesnt' come back, but if it does it's almost certainly on Plex' side since PMM would ordinarily just update the one copy of the collection but Plex is apparently saying "Don't have one of those" and PMM creates a new one.

Yeah, that's a generic message, nothing's getting deleted from the filesystem if these are collections you have selected.

tepid bough
#

after delting them all should I run pmm just normal again?

stray yoke
#

Do the Plex database maintenance tasks first.

tepid bough
#

yes I did those

stray yoke
#

Then go ahead and run PMM. Maybe twice to see if the collections get duplicated.

tepid bough
#

yes will do thank you

working again dunno why it acted up, pastbin kinda crashed with the log upload
