Hello, Ive been struggling to get specific titles updated with metadata edits. Titles are matched correctly and the sort_title updates just fine, but looking at the log, its not picking up title as an edit. Log attached, yml layout for an example bellow. Branch nightly
American4:
match:
title: "American Pie Presents: Band Camp"
sort_title: American Pie 4
title: "American Pie: Band Camp"

Other than Rec02, Are you able to address those recommendations? Clicking on the navigation will give you more details.
orchid owl
Yeah, I was going to work on those. But how would that fix the title issue, unless the plex version your saying is the issue. I wasnt sure if my formatting was wrong or alt_title was needed
nocturne dune
Is that the only one with the issue or do you have several?
orchid owl
That was just an example, but Ive been unsuccessful in updating any metadata title with that config method, I have several. I just updated to beta 1.32.8 to see if that fixes it. For the bloat suggestion, I assume that's just to keep the files clean and doesn't negatively effect updates? Image clean up already runs on a regular schedule. I update poster frequently/daily and other than reapply_overlay: true, I didn't see a way for "new" poster to add overlays and ignore existing ones.
nocturne dune
pmm detects change and applies overlays
reapply_overlays provides 0 value and only increases burden to clean up
its really only meant for testing and should be set to false 99.99% of the time
orchid owl
Copy, wasn't clear on that. I set it to false and Ill set it up for a monthly schedule so ratings are updated.
attached an updated log after updating the plex version, still didnt pick up the title edit

@orchid owl I'm seeing the same thing on my end but got it to work if I don't use title to match, which is odd because it did initially work when match was introduced and the docs seem to imply it's still possible, so maybe an unintended change.
This doesn't work, which is similar to your config
match:
title: The Godfather Part III
year: 1990
edition: Coda
title: "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone"
sort_title: The Godfather Part III3```but this does
match:
mapping_id: 242
year: 1990
edition: Coda
title: "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone"
sort_title: The Godfather Part III3```Its odd because I can get that to match just fine with the title and update the sort title just fine, but its the title it wont override and update. Even when proper indentation, it picks up alt title as match search
frozen jolt
mapping_id as the match key seems to make it work, but it's odd that title or alt_title don't seem to then 🤷♂️

I wouldn't personally match on a title
because if you're setting a new title, then on your next run that old title is no longer valid
if run 1 finds "My Movie" and renames it to "My Movie Is Awesome", then on run 2 it's not going to find "My Movie" anymore because it's been renamed, so any further changes won't happen
orchid owl
good point. For this example though and a few others I have, the titles don't have a mapping ID. MDb considers coda an edition, I prefer to see it as seperate so I have both.
However the match isnt the issue, for me at least at the moment. I can get it to update the metadata title.
frozen jolt
I think the point is if you use mapping_id with the tmdb id instead of title to match it WILL update the metadata title.
I'm not sure if there's an explicit reason why using title or alt_title to match don't work to update the metadata title, but using title to match is probably a bad idea anyways if you're going to update the metadata title specifically as it won't match after the first run.
Maybe you want yours updated differently, but for the Coda edition I basically want all of the metadata from The Godfather Part III, and then I'm just changing the title and poster
And this works for that
match:
mapping_id: 242
year: 1990
edition: Coda
title: "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone"
sort_title: The Godfather Part III3
file_poster: /config/assets/metadata/movies/The Godfather/The Godfather Part III (1990) [Coda].jpg```Oh, ok, I understand what your saying. Let me give that a try and see if it sticks. I guess for custom movies the only option would be to manually edit them in plex?

title matching should work
I don't know why it's not
I'll try play around a bit later with it
orchid owl
Thanks for the suggestions, the mapping ID did work and it picked up the metadata edit. Lmk if you have any luck with the title match

reapply_overlays provides 0 value and only increases burden to clean up
I saw in a few posts others having issues with overlays applying even with it set to false. I still get Applying Overlays for the Movies Library and Overlay Update Not Needed for each file with it set to false. Not sure if thats expected or not
nocturne dune
If no changes are needed then no overlays are applied
What you would expect, right?
orchid owl
true, i had assumed that setting it to false would skip the need to check each file but I guess it still rechecks everything and just doesn't apply.

That's the only way to know if an overlay needs to be updated. Has to look at everything.

I guess the reason I was asking was less about the check and more about the Asset Warning, it seems like even though I run it with reapply true, if I set to false after and re run in, I get what looks like every file listed saying it will be updated when overlays run.
Asset Warning: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) {tmdb-5825} has an Overlay and will be updated when overlays are run |
empty shoal
That's just letting you know why the asset is not being applied at this moment; it's going to be applied later [if needed] when overlays are processed.
If the asset image has changed, or the overlay config has changed, the overlays will be applied with this asset image.
If no change is required, then nothing will happen at the overlay stage.

Anything further needed here?
frozen jolt
match seems to be broken in the sense that metadata updates to title do not populate when title is used to match the item. I'll create an issue on github unless that's by design.

Nope, Same comment as 2k but the Id seems to be working fine. The close post button failed, but you can close it. Thanks
