How can I change the poster on a tv episode? | Kometa | Page 1

Hey!
Basically, due to unknown reasons, these two episodes are getting the same poster, which is wrong. I would like to either get the correct poster or fix the wrong one. The problem is that when PMM runs it overrides my updated poster and I can't just remove the PMM or OVERLAY label like I do for movies because episodes don't seem to have labels

Thanks!

collections:
  Remove Overlay Labels:

    builder_level: episode
    item_label.remove: Overlay
    plex_search:
      all:
        episode_label: Overlay
        title:  NAME OF SHOW HERE

#

that will remove the Overlay label for episodes of that show

#

you could add episode_title within the all if you only want to do it for one episode

hushed panther Dec 12, 2023, 6:59 PM

Or use the asset directory to set the new image.

how could I achieve that @hushed panther ?

Understanding the Overlay label

When PMM applies an overlay, it attaches an Overlay label to the item so that it knows what has an Overlay and what does not. If you [or plex] changes the image, then PMM has no way of knowing this. The easiest way to force overlays to apply to a "new" image is to remove the Overlay label either before or after you change the image.

Unfortunately, Plex does not display the labels attached to Seasons or Episodes, so we have to use collections to force a remove of these labels (we make sure the collection isn't actually built).

Removing Season Overlay Label

collections:
  Remove Overlay Labels:
    build_collection: false
    builder_level: season
    item_label.remove: Overlay
    plex_search:
      all:
        season_label: Overlay
        title:  NAME OF SHOW HERE

Removing Episode Overlay Label

collections:
  Remove Overlay Labels:
    build_collection: false
    builder_level: episode
    item_label.remove: Overlay
    plex_search:
      all:
        episode_label: Overlay
        title:  NAME OF SHOW HERE

silk ether how could I achieve that <@264628547975380995> ?

The asset directory?

Give your custom image the right name, put it in the right place, and enable assets_for_all

Details here:

Perfect! Thanks!

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

also, any idea to why it is grabbing the wrong poster @hushed panther @sullen scroll ?

hushed panther Dec 12, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

not without any specifics, no.

#

probably the asset has the wrong name

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

how is it grabbing the "wrong" poster?

hushed panther Dec 12, 2023, 11:27 PM

#

or is in the wrong place

#

or assets_for_all isn't set

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

the image on the right was the selected image when PMM ran

#

PMM took that image and applied the overlay, which is the bottom image you see

hushed panther Dec 12, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

Yep.

#

And then you changed the image in Plex?

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:28 PM

#

That image must have come from TMDb or TVDb or something

#

If you change the image in Plex to say the 1st or 2nd image, you need to also remove the Overlay label from Plex (not doable within the Plex UI for episodes, you need to use the YAML I posted above)

#

or use the asset pipeline as Carrot advised

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

sorry

#

i will explain

#

I see two exact posters for two different episodes

#

episode 8 should have another poster

#

episode 8 (incorrect)

#

Episode 7 (correct poster)

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

silk ether episode 8 (incorrect)

this is my library, the incorrect poster is coming from Plex, not PMM

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

how can I fix it on my end?

#

I didn't do anything weird

or this

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

but did you have to do that as well?

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

silk ether I didn't do anything weird

this isn't a "you" problem, it's a "plex" problem

#

they have the same image for two episodes

#

probably sourced from TMDb/TVDb or another place they source their images from

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

but I why you didn't have a problem

#

and I did?

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

I'm not sure I understand

#

I have the exact same posters that you have?

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

yes

#

But in my instance, the wrong one gets selected

#

in yours not, you got the professor one

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

That's up to Plex what it selects

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

that's weird then

#

I see what you are saying

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

I have my metadata refresh every few days

#

so maybe that's part of why

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

is that a plex setting?

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

It is, within the Scheduled Tasks page, "refresh library metadata periodically"

#

but I also use PMM to force metadata refreshes

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

sullen scroll It is, within the Scheduled Tasks page, "refresh library metadata periodically"

this wouldn't work in your scenario since PMM is controlling the image now

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

and what do you gain from those refreshes?

sullen scroll Dec 12, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

silk ether and what do you gain from those refreshes?

the metadata (posters, crew, ratings) update more often

#

Need to go to sleep

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

got it

#

thanks for your help!!

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

sullen scroll the metadata (posters, crew, ratings) update more often

would that mess up my pmm in any way?

hushed panther Dec 12, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

it entirely depends on what you are having PMM do, what gets updated, and whether you deem those things "messing up".

#

Generally, when PMM changes a field, it locks that field, so metadata updates won't overwrite what you put there.

silk ether Dec 12, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

I just use PMM to create overlays and for a few collections

viscid torrent Dec 13, 2023, 12:06 AM

#

sullen scroll but I also use PMM to force metadata refreshes

do you do this on a daily run? or do you do it some scheduled time? i've thought about something like that

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 12:08 AM

#

I am trying that was suggested above @hushed panther

#

and I am getting an error

#

where should I put that?

#

is it nested in the libraries part?

hushed panther Dec 13, 2023, 12:10 AM

What error?

Just that? "Your YAML is wrong"?

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 12:20 AM

hushed panther Dec 13, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

That collections section does not go in the config.yml.

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 12:20 AM

#

oh, that is why

#

then where should I put it?

#

and what can I comment from my main config.yml?

hushed panther Dec 13, 2023, 12:22 AM

#

This:

    collections:
      Remove Overlay Labels:
        build_collection: false
        builder_level: episode
        item_label.remove: Overlay
        plex_search:
          all:
            episode_label: Overlay
            title:  Rick and Morty

goes in a file called, for example, rafa130397.yml in your config folder.

Then you link to that file in your config like this:

  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
    - file: config/rafa130397.yml

#

and what can I comment from my main config.yml?

I can't answer that as asked. You can comment lots of things depending on your goals.

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 12:23 AM

#

my goal would be to minimize the unnecessary things now

#

since I look to just remove the label

#

and don't want to run the other stuff to save time

hushed panther Dec 13, 2023, 12:24 AM

#

If you want to control what gets run, you can do that without editing the config.

#

python plex_meta_manager.py --collections-only "Remove Overlay Labels"

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

got it

#

thanks a lot

#

btw, why am I not seeing an assets folder?

#

I have this: asset_directory: config/assets
But the only folders I have are overlays and logs

viscid torrent Dec 13, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

did you create a folder?

#

pmm won't create your initial assets folder

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 12:54 AM

#

I haven't!

#

Do I need it?

viscid torrent Dec 13, 2023, 12:57 AM

#

are you using assets? if so, then yes that is where it looks for the assets. pmm won't save any files there; except files downloaded using the setting download_url_assets: true other than that, you need to put assets there

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

I dont even know what assets are

#

So I probably dont need them right?

viscid torrent Dec 13, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

nope

silk ether Dec 13, 2023, 1:25 AM

thanks!
