Do you want the full log? I believe the "Newly Released" collection is built from the "- pmm: basic", but maybe I'm wrong?

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

Did you grab those values from somewhere???

#

Trying to understand if you are using the defaults (which need to be used exclusively in the config.yml) or are you trying to do something else with an external yml file?

#

https://metamanager.wiki/en/nightly/defaults/chart/basic/?h=basic#template-variables

#

PMM basic has those template variables available

Not sure how to point to another thread but I got "collection_filtering" from a thread I had asked about the way the collections (Newly Released) was displayed (either always as admin or as the user viewing it). The "filter" part I just added to see if it worked, but neither one appears to be doing anything.

Perfect. Thanks

#

Ok... two problems that I saw

#

file not files

#

diiivoycolor and not diiivoy_color

#

Best suggestion I can give you is a good editor

ebon lanternBOT Jan 18, 2024, 1:32 AM

Recommended Text Editors

We highly recommend to use a decent editor software to manage PMM's .yml files.

Standard text editors (such as Notepad and TextEdit) often save text in a rich-text format which can result in text formatted in a way that PMM cannot read. But not only that, they also make it very hard to visually distinguish the formatting, such as indentation.
PMM requires indents to always be multiples of 2 spaces, and not TAB stops. If you have one space too much, or too few, it is very hard to notice that with a editor like Notepad.
An editor that is more focused on editing code instead of text will automatically detect the .YML fileformat and adjust things to make it easier to work. They can also try to detect possible errors even before you actually run the .yml in PMM.

This can save a lot of time and headaches.

Preferred:
Visual Studio Code (Windows/Mac/Linux, Opensource & Free) Website
Additionally, install the indent-rainbow by oderwat extension and the YAML by Red Hat extension and leverage our schema.json file by adding this to the top of your config.yml file: # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/nightly/json-schema/config-schema.json

Other options:
Notepad++ (Windows only, Opensource & Free)
Website

Sublime Text (Windows/Mac/Linux, Paid)
Website

The vs code one with that schema file is really gonna help you find these issues right away

Once all that is cleaned up, rerun and drop the logs here and answer yes to both prompts again

This:

    - pmm: basic
      template_variables:
        collection_filtering: user
        filters:
          plays.lt: 1

isn't valid in at least one way. You can't apply filters like this to the defaults.

Also, I don't see collection_filtering listed in the wiki as a valid template variable for the defaults.

If you were creating a collection yourself, you could use collection_filtering: user, but that's not something you can apply to the defaults.

#

The template variables one can use to customize any of the defaults are listed on the wiki page for each default file, and in the case of the defaults they can only be customized as specifically discussed on those pages.

#

This would work, for example:

collections:
  Rewind Supernatural:
    builder_level: episode
    smart_filter:
      all:
        title: Supernatural
        episode_plays.gte: 1
        episode_plays.lt: 2
      sort_by: episode_release.asc
      limit: 1
    collection_filtering: user

Well, that's unfortunate 🙁 Is there a way to exclude some of the default collections created with the pmm: basic defaults?

nocturne locust Jan 19, 2024, 12:59 AM

You can exclude any of the default collections.

little holly Jan 19, 2024, 1:08 AM

nocturne locust You can exclude any of the default collections.

I mean is it possible to exclude any of the default collections that "basic" creates. Like excluding the "Newly Released" collection that is created when you use "pmm: basic" in the config.
