delete_below_minimum not behaving as expected | Kometa | Page 1

I have my Music.yml set up to create collections with a limit and minimum items, and to delete collections below the minimum. The collections are created, I can see in the log that the "delete_below_minimum" is true, however the collections are then not being deleted. I think I am missing something obvious, but am unable to figure it out.

I think that this is because "smart collections" don't have item counts like standard collections do. In Plex they are implemented as live filtered views, so the item count is variable.

#

Oh that makes sense. So if I use plex_search in place of smart_filter it might solve the issue?

I created an overwhelming number of collections by mistake 🫨

#

I changed smart_filter to plex_search and I am now getting a new error: Collection Error: template attribute is not a dictionary
I've googled but haven't had any luck with figuring this out - any chance you could point me in the right direction?

you can't just change "smart_filter" to "plex_search"; the attributes valid for each are different.

unique lichen Sep 4, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

Oh darn. I'll fiddle with it and see if I can figure out which bit I need to fix up

wraith crown Sep 4, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

What's the goal here? Just a one-time cleanup of collections?

unique lichen Sep 4, 2023, 11:15 PM

#

Essentially trying to automate collections of mood or style of music, when there is the minimum amount of tracks/artists/albums met. Easy to do with the upper limit, but the minimum amount is really confusing me.

#

Like in the screenshot but if it also had a "minimum items = 100" for this example

#

For tracks ideally I'd love to make them playlists but that's probably a different pmm help thread

wraith crown Sep 4, 2023, 11:16 PM

#

This isn't going to delete the "overwhelming number of collections", though.

unique lichen Sep 4, 2023, 11:17 PM

#

And this wouldn't create a collection because it doesn't meet the minimum

#

Oh yes, the collection clean up is easy enough - I've done it manually. The issue was whithout a minimum item amount, PMM created collections for EVERY mood and that was a lot. I want to limit it a bit so that it is only creating collections when I have the specified amount.

Sorry the inclusion of that confused the issue a bit haha

Something like this?

collections:
  Acerbic Tracks:
    builder_level: track
    minimum_items: 100
    delete_below_minimum: 100
    plex_search:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: plays.desc
      all:
        track_mood: acerbic

#

Or as a tempalte:

  track mood collection:
    builder_level: track
    minimum_items: 100
    delete_below_minimum: 100
    plex_search:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: plays.desc
      all:
        track_mood: <<value>>

#

that's perfect, thank you! I'll try it out and see how it runs

unique lichen Sep 5, 2023, 2:19 AM

#

Hmm I seem to be having the same error appear - any ideas? I'll attach the log and the Music.yml (which maybe I just edited wrong)

#

I have a feeling it is trying to make the collection "Album Moods" etc as opposed to using the template to build the collections (if that made sense), based on what I seeing in the screenshot

📎 Music.yml 📎 meta.log

#

I think maybe it's not able to call the templates properly in the newest iteration

unique lichen Sep 5, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

I had another fiddle and same issue - I'm not defining somthing properly somewhere I think

https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/metadata/templates.html

You have this:

collections:
  Track Moods:
    type: track_mood
    title_format: Top 100 <<key_name>> Tracks
    template: track mood collection

Which should be:

collections:
  Track Moods:
    title: Top 100 Acerbic Tracks
    template:
      name: track mood collection
      value: acerbic

OR:

collections:
  Track Moods:
    title_format: Top 100 Acerbic Tracks
    template: {name: track mood collection, value: acerbic}

#

track_mood and key_name are used in dynamic collections, which these aren't anymore

wraith crown Sep 5, 2023, 5:53 PM

Or all together:

templates:
  track mood collection:
    builder_level: track
    title_format: Top 100 <<mood>> Tracks
    minimum_items: 100
    delete_below_minimum: 100
    plex_search:
      limit: 100
      sort_by: plays.desc
      all:
        track_mood: <<mood>>

collections:
  Acerbic Tracks:
    template:
      name: track mood collection
      mood: acerbic

I may be destined to never automate my music collection

Maybe there’s some other attribute for tracks that serves the same purpose.

I'm going to close this post for now while I contemplate what I want PMM to do, and how I want it to do it. I've gone back to the original config and it's sort of fine for what I want it to do.
