Hello gentleman. I'm trying to get things setup and I need some help. The logs are show various errors and warnings and I'd like to try and sort them out. They all seem easy enough, I just don't know where to add the lines in the config file and I'm sure I have things setup wrong. Any assistance in getting things correct would be greatly appreciated.
I've attached photos of my Unraid /config folder, my config.yml w/API keys and personal information removed, and a screenshot of my errors/warnings from the log output.
-
Config Warning: metadata_path has been deprecated and split into collection_files and metadata_files, Please visit the wiki to learn more about this transition.
-
Config Warning: overlay_path has been deprecated in favor of overlay_files, Please visit the wiki to learn more about this transition.
1 and 2 seem very important and I have no clue how to fix that.
- Asset Warning's.; XXXXXXXXX
I created a folder /config/assets becuase the logs stated it couldnt find the path. Ran PMM and now the loggs show a bunch of asset warnings.

Where do I make those changes?
balmy lantern
in your config
gaunt ivy
ohh I need to add an actual path and change the config.yml text for those fields
or just modify the text
sudden cypress
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path: # HERE
- pmm: basic
- pmm: imdb
overlay_path: # HERE
- remove_overlays: false
- pmm: ribbon
TV:
metadata_path: # HERE
- pmm: basic
- pmm: imdb
overlay_path: # HERE
- remove_overlays: false
modify the text in config.yml
balmy lantern
yozora is saying that in your config, where it says metadata_path, change to metadata_files
sudden cypress
collection_files 😉
gaunt ivy
I understand. I'm sorry. Clearly a begginer.....lol
sudden cypress
It's a very new change
you're fine
show_missing_assets: true
set that to false
gaunt ivy
Done! I'm going to start the container again and let it run.
sudden cypress
did you check those things you're applying to make sure they're what you want?
not sure how much you've delved into what PMM is doing here
collections:
- pmm: basic
https://metamanager.wiki/en/develop/defaults/chart/basic/
- pmm: imdb
https://metamanager.wiki/en/develop/defaults/chart/imdb/
overlays:
- pmm: ribbon
https://metamanager.wiki/en/develop/defaults/overlays/ribbon/
gaunt ivy
So I have looked into the above. And my thought process was to get everything function with those options and then start modifiying. I figured the above was a good starting point to learn.
sudden cypress
okay 🙂
iron relic
Sure, that works.
sudden cypress
if you have large libraries we don't recommend that approach
use a test library
particularly for overlays as you can quickly cause image bloat
(PMM and Plex don't delete old overlays when new ones are applied, so your filesystem can fill up with old images)
gaunt ivy
1500 movies and about 25 or show TV series? Is that considered large?
sudden cypress
the collections aren't really an issue since those are easily reversible and don't use much filespace
there are tools that can be used to reduce image bloat if you do chop-and-change the overlays a lot
we can cross that bridge another time though
gaunt ivy
Those changes cleaned up alot of the warnings/errors!

Understood! Thank you for the suggestion
sudden cypress
Those changes cleaned up alot of the warnings/errors!
can you post that log file?
would like to just sanity check it
gaunt ivy
where would I put this attribute?
imdb_search limit attribute
sudden cypress
That's not something you can control when using the Defaults
it's one of the things I wanted to review in your log
if you can post the file here
gaunt ivy
That's not something you can control when using the Defaults
Okay!
Sure give me one second.....
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't sharing any sensitve info but it appears the logs redact everthing..
sudden cypress
it does indeed 😄

if you tick the green box above
amazing!
I need to break for lunch. I'll be back in a bit
Again, thank you so much
sudden cypress
you can go through the pages, from page 7 is the recommendations
gaunt ivy
If I wanted to allocate 1gb of memory to the plex db cache, what format/units/number do I use?
For example:
db_cache: 4096
How large is this? is that in MB/GB?
is that 4096 megabytes aka 4.096 gigabytes
gaunt ivy
Perfect. Thank you. I'll test 4096 and see how it goes. Is there a way to monitor what is being used and if I need to increase the db cache size?

and we also have another redactor that tries to catch when people share sensitive data in our discord.... always good to ask us anyways to be sure. 😉

not seeing anything new there.
gaunt ivy
No luck just yet on:
[ERROR] | TMDb Error: No Movie found for TMDb ID 37452
And I'm also trying to work through the Convert errors
balmy lantern
that movie doesn't exist in tmdb, that i could find. it's a collection of movies
gaunt ivy
I get that. But I'm trying to just figure out what it's pointing to in my collection.... for example the one you just listed does not exsist
And this for example, I can't find either....
Convert Error: No TVDb ID Found for TMDb ID: 156249
gaunt ivy
THat would be on "thier end" than when it's looking for something I don't have and there is no cross link to the db.
I see. I'll need to search the logs for those and determine if it's an error on my side or thiers ?
iron relic
the second one:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/156249-das-boot
generally speaking those are going to be IDs that are coming in from external lists and PMM can't figure out what they are.
There's nothing you can do in PMM to "fix" them; you have to fix the source or ignore the "errors" or the like

that's what I'm starting to gather!
okay. i uderstand. thank you again
than it would appear everythign is sorted out except for updting to the most current nighly build
With regards to the Trakt.tv playslists. I love them. But for some reason I'm only seeing the missing movies and not the TV shows/series. Refrencing Star Trek, I see based on the trakt.tv list there are 819 ID's and I have around 300. THere are no missing movies, but I can't find a list of missing tv shows. I've made sure my libraies are correctly name "TV" across the files. Any thoughts? Is there a template varriable that I need to add?
iron relic
I don't see where it's reporting missing movies for this playlist.
gaunt ivy
I'm sorry, It was until until I added them.
iron relic
There are plenty of missing shows reported throughout the log.

Correct, i see the IMDB stuff. But nothing fropm the Trakt playlists. I only see missing movies fromt eh Trakt playlists.
I though I might need to add a template varriable or such to get that missing functionality working for TV w/ in Trakt playlists.
iron relic
Are there any missing shows? What's an example of something that's in one of those lists but not in your library?
gaunt ivy
Pokemon for example. I don't wacht/request it. 1151 ID's, 23 missing movies, no missing tv shows.
Seems like there is a lot of missing "something" that's not listed. I'm assuming it's TV shows.
iron relic
Ah, I see now that Arrow isn't there either.
iron relic
Yeah, I don't know what might be going on with this.
gaunt ivy
Is it supposed to show missing tv shows? I didn't see a template varriable to add to the config file.
iron relic
I would imagine so but I don't use playlists much.
This is probably playlist-specific. I imagine those shows would get reported as missing if you used that list in a collection.
gaunt ivy
All good. I'm going to update to the newest nightly. I'm 2 behind and see if that helps.
gaunt ivy
Are "assets" something I would download and place in the asset folder if I wanted to change the poster/background image for a movie/show/ect?
Or is the asset folder a place for PMM to store assets it modifies for use in plex?
balmy lantern
asset folder is something you would use to change the poster or background
gaunt ivy
Thank you. So it's normal for my folder to be empty if I've not personally added any "assets" to it?
Are there 3rd party sites that can be used to find alternate poster/background assets?
Recomendations?
balmy lantern
