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

As mentioned, I am using the decades collection, and the builder seems to use url_posters rather than the defined file_poster

#

... and not sure why 😦

📎 parsed_meta.log_config.yml

sonic idol Sep 22, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

so this section:

    - pmm: decade
      template_variables:
        file_poster_<<key>>: /config/assets/Collection/<<key>>.png
        limit: 25
        sort_title: +1_<<key>>
        collection_mode: hide
        exclude:
        - 2000
        - 2010
        - 2020

#

where did you come up with this as a template_variable?

#

https://metamanager.wiki/en/nightly/defaults/collection_variables.html

#

pretty sure you need to do something like this:

    - pmm: decade
      template_variables:
        file_poster_1990: /config/assets/Collection/1990.png
        limit: 25
        sort_title: +1_1990
        collection_mode: hide
        exclude:
        - 2000
        - 2010
        - 2020

But I am not 100% sure

frank depot Sep 22, 2023, 1:02 PM

#

Yep, those template variables don't get filled in dynamically with the defaults.

open ledge Sep 22, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

they do though. So before file_<<key>> was fixed like a month ago, the work around was to do file: <location of pngs/<<key>>.png and name all the overlays as <<key>>.png I imagine posters work the same way

frank depot Sep 22, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

Oh, TIL

open ledge Sep 22, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

the issue with doing file: <location of pngs/<<key>>.png was that you had to do all the overlays and not just replace one

#

however soh fixed file_<<key>> so you could replace just one overlay png

#

They probably havent named those posters as the keys and its failing. but they havent stated how they are named

sonic idol Sep 27, 2023, 11:18 AM

#

@crystal locust anything else needed here?

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

@sonic idol sorry, work got busy!

I had a look at this again, ensured I have posters for all collections with the key name. Again it seems in the log that the poster is identified, but it still uses the github resource...

@open ledge they are named exactly as appears, and as you can see in the log above, they are validated also

Replace file_poster_<<key>> with just file_poster

#

file_poster: /config/posters/<<key>>.jpg

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 5:03 PM

#

@open ledge tried that now, but still no luck.

#

Seems to be running correctly, but doesnt use the file poster, keeps using the url poster

#

(the url poster also isnt defined in the variables, it is just the default from the template)

frank depot Sep 28, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

This is possibly due to:
<#1124786109398925312 message>

the image priority list is currently:

url_poster

file_poster

tmdb_poster

tvdb_poster

asset_directory

tmdb_person

tmdb_collection_details
8+. all other _details methods

prioritize_assets makes number 5 move up to number 1

So probably you need to use the asset directory and prioritize_assets.

Unless there's a way to clear the url_poster value.

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

Seems I already have prioritize_assets enabled 😦

frank depot Sep 28, 2023, 5:25 PM

#

OK, so all you should need would be to save the image in the asset directory under the correct name.

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 5:30 PM

#

It is in the same directory I use for all my other collections that are working fine... but I run them through a separate collection.yml, not the default...

#

I only have issues with this one using templates it seems

frank depot Sep 28, 2023, 5:36 PM

#

Are these images named to match the collection name "Best of 1950s" or what have you?

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

Yes, and you can see here, the poster directory should work, but for some reason, it chooses the url poster.

#

2 posters found (matching correct directory) but then poster updated to url

frank depot Sep 28, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

You're setting file_poster, which has a lower priority to url_poster, so url_poster wins [according to the priority list linked above]. This is not using the asset directory.

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 5:54 PM

#

@frank depot reading asset_prioritize it seems to be specific to the asset directory

#

Whilst searching for assets, scan the folders within the asset_directory and if an asset poster (i.e. /ASSET_NAME/poster.ext) was not found, rename the first image found that has a height greater than or equal to its width to poster.ext.

#

but file_poster is different to asset_directory

#

but in this example, how do i use asset directory for collections like this?

#

ahh

#

i just found it

#

... thankyou

frank depot Sep 28, 2023, 6:01 PM

#

That's referring to "dimensional_asset_rename"; nothing to do with prioritize assets. Where did you find that?

crystal locust Sep 28, 2023, 6:02 PM

#

My bad eyes haha...
