Can you provide a log of this happening?

#

That attached config has all your tokens in it.

The attached file contains all; the pastebin one or two.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Would appreciate some help in figuring out why PMM isn't applying IMDB ratings overlay to all movies in my library. I've set remove_overlays to TRUE to clear everything out and also toggled reapply_overlays to false/true and same behavior. Here is a link to my config.yml file. Thanks!

#

If you attach the log, it contains a redacted config.

That’s the config, not the log.

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!

4832 movies out of 25K are getting critic ratings applied; the rest have either not changed or aren't getting up dated form some other silent reason.

Can you provide the XML for, say, "10 Things I Hate About You"?

I'll give a bit more background.

  1. I had this config working perfectly, which properly overlayed the IMDB rating for all ~25,000 movies.
  2. I noticed that some of the IMDB ratings weren't accurate. Discovered that about half my movies were using Rotten Tomatoes as the "rating source" while the others were properly set to use IMDB.
  3. I used the remove_overlays (true) flag in PMM config to remove all poster overlays so I could start from scratch.
  4. I then refreshed all the metadata in my movies library so every movie would have the IMDB ratings metadata. That worked (after 4 long days). 🙂
  5. I changed the PMM config file to set remove_overlays (false) and reapply_overlays true.
  6. This is where the current issue is where it won't apply the overlays to all files like it first did in Step 1.

Note: very strange. But looking at my movies library now a ton of posters are gone altogether. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

just did a quick test. For one of the movies with a black poster currently, I look at the movie and it has the IMDB rating, actor info, summary, etc. It's just the poster that is black. If I manually refresh metadata on that movie it then pulls down the poster.

Oh, that's probably the issue. IMDB doesn't have critic ratings, so when you try to set the critic rating on items that are set to use IMDB ratings in Plex, that fails, since there is no critic rating "box" in which to insert the IMDB rating.

That XML shows that "10 things" has no critic rating, so it doesn't get the overlay.

rating="7.3" 
userRating="7.3"

okay awesome, good catch. So if I want the IMDB rating as an overlay what should I change in the config?

Movies: # These are names of libraries in your Plex
metadata_path:
- file: C:\Plex-Meta-Manager\config\Movies.yml # This is a file within PMM's defaults folder
- pmm: basic # This is a file within PMM's defaults folder
- pmm: imdb # This is a file within PMM's defaults folder
- pmm: seasonal
- pmm: tautulli
- pmm: trakt
- pmm: streaming # This is called out once within the config.yml file
overlay_path:
- remove_overlays: true # Set this to true to remove all overlays
- reapply_overlays: false
- pmm: ratings
template_variables:
rating1: critic
rating1_image: imdb
rating1_font_size: 65
back_color: '#00000075'
horizontal_position: right
vertical_position: bottom
operations:
mass_critic_rating_update: imdb

#

should rating1: be userRating?

This article will describe the relationship between PMM and Plex WRT ratings:
https://metamanager.wiki/en/develop/home/guides/ratings.html

Basically, once you start using PMM to mess with ratings, ignore the Plex UI.

The simplest thing for you to do would be to change the ratings source on the library to rotten tomatoes and leave the config alone.

okay, I can do that. And then, to accomplish what I'm looking for (which is to only display the IMDB rating on the poster), I should then perhaps set:

rating1: user
rating1_image: imdb

If you want to stomp the user rating, sure, but you can keep your config as is. No changes needed.

# 
Movies:
  operations:
    mass_critic_rating_update: imdb

stick the IMDB rating in the "critic" ratings box

  overlay_path:
  pmm: ratings
  template_variables:
    rating1: critic
    rating1_image: imdb

then display the number from the "critic" box as an IMDB score.

Thanks again for all the help! I'll give this a shot. 🙂
