Everything else is sorting correctly, but Top is not showing up because PMM says it is set to false... which it is in the first instance.

limber flume
would recommend following several of the recommendations from the bot
torpid archBOT
Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!
hearty ravine
Like I said, everything is running fine
I just want to change the sort order of the one embedded pmm, and I am not sure how to do it
I am just going to keep it turned off and build a separate 250 with an imdb builder
lapis hornet
strongly suggest you fix the following spacing in this section only... prepend 1 space per line that is "red":
charred starBOT
charred starBOT
hearty ravine
each of those needs an extra space eh?
lapis hornet
As Antwan mentioned, and the cakeybot also mentioned, you are not on an official image of PMM. The version you are running will limit you and have several idiosyncrasies.
lapis hornet
each of those needs an extra space eh?
yes for teh space...
hearty ravine
How'd I manage the unofficial image?
lapis hornet
not sure where you got the image from
but nowhere in our wiki or walkthroughs do you use the lsio image
hearty ravine
I had a friend hlep me set it up, so I am afraid I don't know how to change the image
torpid archBOT
Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!
lapis hornet
literally replace the first line with the second line
you are running docker on windows
hearty ravine
correct
lapis hornet
so yeah... where you specified linuxserver/plex-meta-manager, replace that with meisnate12/plex-meta-manager
hearty ravine
is that in the docker compose or the config yml?
lapis hornet
docker compose
compose down
update stack
compose up
ummm
why is your pmm container called plex?
hearty ravine
shrug
lapis hornet
i think your friend copied and pasted stuff
lapis hornet
i would change the container_name: pmm
is plex on the same machine?
please tell me your plex container_name is not pmm 😛
hearty ravine
oh sorry, that's the plex ms section
lapis hornet
i can only go by the screenshot you sahred.. I dont even know if that is before or after the edits
hearty ravine
That''s PMM
lapis hornet
change image:
hearty ravine
nightly?
lapis hornet
meisnate12/plex-meta-manager:develop
or meisnate12/plex-meta-manager:nightly
can you share your plex section again please?
hearty ravine
yep
hearty ravine
yeah, I changed it when I thought it was PMM
lapis hornet
that will pull down the image from the official repo
hearty ravine
so I shut down the stack, and then restart it in the shell?
lapis hornet
and then compose up
i think the command from terminal is docker compose down
@limber flume you know the commands?
hearty ravine
I think I have it saved
lapis hornet
if you can share that here that would be great
hearty ravine
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
lapis hornet
that will bring it up
hearty ravine
so should I just shut everythign down from docker>?
lapis hornet
the command I hope you have is to update the stack
limber flume
docker-compose pull
lapis hornet
so the pull will update the stack... cool
limber flume
that's what i use
lapis hornet
do you need to take the stack down first?
hearty ravine
so I just have to run the pull?
limber flume
docker-compose up -d
pull will update any image that needs updating, then the up will recreate any container which was updated
hearty ravine
should I shut down everything in docker first?>
lapis hornet
no need
docker-compose pull
then docker-compose up -d
pretty sure that will ensure that your stacks are updated and that the containers are all up and started
so that will take you off of the lsio image.
excellenmt
lapis hornet
we're still not done... lol
lapis hornet
well.. we never anwered your original question
hearty ravine
Oh, I think I figured a workaround
I just made a new YML file
that had the IMDB 250 in it
and sorted it
lapis hornet
can i ask why you seem to have all of our defaults, but now local?
hearty ravine
I think it's because my brain works that way
it's the way I am understanding the wiki and the code
limber flume
at this stage, coming from someone who has tried that, i'd recommend staying on the defaults
lapis hornet
you are making your life super complicated
And believe me Antwan tried that several times.
🙂
hearty ravine
I don't actually think they are that complicated. I am not doing anything really complex
plush quail
What have you changed in, for example, this file?
- file: config/!000_seasonal.yml
this is where things get complicated
limber flume
right, but with the defaults and things change in pmm, they're updated with pmm, instead if you run your own files locally, you then have to go rebuild your local file. TRUST ME, i've been there
lapis hornet
Chaz asks the tough questions
hearty ravine
right, but with the defaults and things change in pmm, they're updated with pmm,...
ahhhhh, I see
So, you're saying to try and work within the confines of the defaults so that as PMM updates I don't have to do anything
plush quail
I don't actually think they are that complicated. I am not doing anything really...
The issue is that while you may not think so, this means that we can most likely provide no support, OR providing support gets way more complicated since we now have to figure out what you did before we can even begin to address what may be wrong.
limber flume
right, cause you can make minor changes with template_variables
hearty ravine
Well damn, I had everything almost the way I wanted lol, now I have to go back to the drawing board!
lapis hornet
no you don't have to go back tot he drawing board...
plush quail
Depending on how, specifically, your config/!000_seasonal.yml differs from the original default file, it may be very simple to accomplish.
limber flume
defaults make things 1000x easier, just sayin
lapis hornet
if you can share what you changed, we can probably assist
hearty ravine
So for example, here's my genres
hearty ravine
Right. But you're saying I should stay away from that right?
plush quail
That's fine. We're talking about the files you have that appear to be copies of the original defaults.
LIke the specific one I have asked about
plush quail
OK, let me ask a different question.
Your config lists a bunch of files that are named identically to the defaults, which is giving us the impression that you have copied the PMM default files and modified them.
Is that true in any case, or are all these random files you've found somewhere else?
hearty ravine
Oh, no, none of them are the defaults. I just simply named them that because it was convenient.
I got some from github, cobbled some together myself, etc.
plush quail
OK, then our concern is not an issue.
plush quail
You CAN, however, probably do those things by modifying the defaults.
hearty ravine
sorry y'all. I was just naming them that because it made sense to me because my nose is in the wiki a lot
hearty ravine
You CAN, however, probably do those things by modifying the defaults.
Honestly, my brain does not think this way. So, having them as separate YMLs was making sense to me for some reason.
plush quail
it made sense to me because my nose is in the wiki a lot
This makes no sense to me. If you're looking at the wiki a lot, naming unrelated files the same as ones in the wiki would seem to me to be the confusing choice, since nothing the wiki says about seasonal will apply to yours. But, up to you.
limber flume
honestly that get's confusing for those trying to help when they see a redacted log file
hearty ravine
honestly that get's confusing for those trying to help when they see a redacted ...
That's a fair point. I can name them something else.
but this is what I made for the 250 imdb collection since I wasn't figuring out a way to split the 250 away from the popular in the default.
collections: "IMDb Top 250": imdb_chart: top_movies sort_title: "!099_imdb_top_250" visible_home: false visible_library: false collection_order: custom sync_mode: sync radarr_add_missing: true radarr_search: true radarr_ignore_cache: true sort_by: critic_rating.desc summary: "The 250 highest-rated movies according to IMDb." file_poster:
That way it's the same thing but I can scoot it around where I want
limber flume
like your genres file, and the first thing i see is "studios"
hearty ravine
like your genres file, and the first thing i see is "studios"
??
plush quail
but this is what I made for the 250 imdb collection since I wasn't figuring out ...
Yeah, that's not something that is allowed in the defaults.
hearty ravine
Yeah, that's not something that is allowed in the defaults.
That was the conclusion I was coming to. Seemed like it had to stay in the same group. So, I just turned off everything except for popular and made this.
limber flume
??
look again at what you shared for genres, and the top of the file says "studio collections"
hearty ravine
Oh, lol, yeah that was a left over. I haven't cleaned up some things yet.
But you're right @limber flume it makes for some confusing reading
lapis hornet
And earlier today, we were also talking about the defaults in general channel where we explicitly spoke about how that is ordered for defaults versus non-defaults... I was confused as heck because not once did you say that you are not using the defaults at all...
although to be fair.. now that i see your config file, you are using both
hearty ravine
Well, to be fair, I wasssss using the defaults for top and popular
lapis hornet
earlier, without seeing the config file or a meta.log... we were completely lost
hearty ravine
Yeah, my bad
lapis hornet
all good...
hearty ravine
context is my new mantra
lapis hornet
we did suggest to open a pmm-help and you did... so cheers to that
so... the other chalenge that we and others will have to help you is that we will never see what is in - file: lines
hearty ravine
Oh because the log won't catch that?
lapis hornet
the logs will give us clues only
the log does not expose what actuallly inside those files
and its not like the defaults where its open source and available on Github for all to see
but no worries
when we need it we will ask
limber flume
and having your files also named like that, giving us a box of apples and asking us what's wrong with your oranges
lapis hornet
at this poiont, asking questions in general may not be the best idea because most will not have a clue and posting a meta.log in the general channel is kinda spammy.
hearty ravine
I think @lapis hornet you should just come over, I will provide you beer and you can help me tweak the defaults to do the same as my files
lapis hornet
a lot of people will leverage the defaults and seriously make it look very different without ever using one line of file in their config.yml file
#old-images
so its unique to you
hearty ravine
I can play around and see what I can do. I am sure it's simple things I am trying to do, just don't have the knowledge to do it yet
lapis hornet
its good.. you are learning
in any case, feel free to do another runa nd post the logs here
let luma review
yes.. at least we know from the name its not defaults
hearty ravine
Hey @bullmoose, you all suggested doing more defaults in my setup. So, I have been thinking. If I did a genre defaut, but still wanted to have Radarr pull in to Plex automatically, I would build a Radarr yml that contained all the imdb searches- or what not -that I wanted to use to manipulate Radarr. That way, I would still have everything sorted through the default and if eveyrthing went to hell it would only be 1 yml file to monkey with. I guess the only question is, is there a way to hide this hypothetical radarr.yml from library AND collections both?
lapis hornet
Not sure I follow. The defaults support the use of the arrs.
hearty ravine
I guess I am not sure how that default works then. It looks to me like pmm: genre just sorts plex without querying any outside source?
So this is what I am monkeying with rn. Wouldn't this just sort what's already in Plex?
lapis hornet
Yes. It pulls data from your Plex. Mass_update_genre can be used
hearty ravine
I think I am crap at explaining at what I am trying to do. So, what I want to do is I want to select certain genres to be updated via radarr from imdb automatically.
Like the popular list does
but for genres
Hence the lengthy yml genre file I made and showed you yesterday
limber flume
the popular list has nothing to do with genres
lapis hornet
I still am not clear on what the end result is or why?
You?
Like I don't understand the flow of data and what is trying to be attempted...
austere ridge
They want to dynamically create genre collections from their library and compare that against the most popular movies in that genre on imdb, and add the difference to radarr?
My best guess anyways
plush quail
In this case, there is nothing to send to radarr, since the genre default is looking at what you already have in Plex. All the "dynamic" defaults are like this. If you want to send things to radarr you have to start from an external source that will provide lists of things you don't already have.
Something like this is not a thing the default genre collections are designed to cover.
plush quail
Hey @bullmoose, you all suggested doing more defaults in my setup. So, I have be...
What do you mean by "hide it from library and collections both"? I think I know, but don't want to assume.
If what you want is to send stuff from some imdb lists to radarr WITHOUT creating a collection:
collections:
Send This Stuff To Radarr:
imdb_list:
- https://www.imdb.com/list/ls000094398/
- https://www.imdb.com/list/ls057783436/
- https://www.imdb.com/list/ls064427905/
radarr_add_missing: true
build_collection: false
Missing Items from those lists will be sent to Radarr, but no collection will be built.

This. TY @plush quail. Yes, the idea is to take an imdb list or a tmbd list and compare it to my Plex library and have it grab the difference without building a collection so that the pmm: default can handle building the collection in Plex.
