Two days ago I ran a command to update PMM (git pull https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager). This seemed to update the version. Once I updated the version, any new shows or movies added to Plex have stopped receiving the overlay.
#Updated version, new items not receiving overlay.

You need to update your config file for the new version. See: https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/pmm/faqs/#pmm-120-release-changes

so based on my config, I need to remove overlay_path: and replace it with overlay_files:
Well I have collections and overlay, so I need to add both collection_files and overlay_files?
I dont have seperate files for these, all of that lives off the main config.yml file. would I point the path to config.yml?

YAML checked and is NOT valid. Error message:

overlay_path becomes overlay_files. metadata_path becomes collections.
high hazel

Yeah, sorry. Trying to figure out the issue. It looks good but there must be some strange character somewhere.
sudden ridge
No worries! I updated the four lines and running it again. Will check back in a few mins.
overlay_files and collections for both TV and Movies.

overlay_path becomes overlay_files. metadata_path becomes collection_files. playlist_sync_to_user should be playlist_sync_to_users. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is with the formatting though.

So the remove_overlays has to be moved to the library operations. In the example I uploaded, the "- " has to be removed and the it will validate the yaml. I'll upload it again with the changes.
sudden ridge
Updated and running now. Will check back in 15-30 mins.

Cool... you got it. Btw, what editor are you using to do this @sudden ridge ?

notepad++
Didnt seem to solve it
sudden ridge
PMM is not able to connect to your libraries. You'll have to fix that first.
I double checked the API key for sonarr/radarr. The root folder is the only thing I thought was weird. I tried to add the top level of the TV directory and it didnt work. I tried to add the specific folders within the TV folder as well.
I edited the config to only 1 of the root folders, got a successful connection this time. Running again, will update soon.
ancient meteorBOT
Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!
coral light
This is why I asked... about the editor.
I don't think you shared back your changes and from what you wrote, I did not think it would work...
sudden ridge
Yeah I changed it, ran it and saw a successful connection to radarr/sonarr. I can cancel it and send the log again real quick
meager schoonerBOT
Would you like more information on how to provide a log file?
coral light
Answer yes to both logscan prompts please
meager schoonerBOT
Thanks for using Plex Meta Manager!
coral light
The parsed config file is what we want to open with the vscode with those extensions
Drop meta.log in here and answer yes to both prompts please. Thanks
sudden ridge

I cancelled the scan, grabbed the meta.log, and hit yes to both prompts
coral light
Perfect. Is vscode with those two extensions running on Your machine?
sudden ridge
Perfect. Is vscode with those two extensions running on Your machine?
I dont believe so, is that required for the new version? I was not running it for the previous version which worked perfectly.
coral light
It's about using an editor that leverages our schema-json
And editing the config file with more accuracy
sudden ridge
ah gotcha, I typically use Notepadd++
coral light
Which won't help
1 sec as I open your file
See the issue?
At least 1 is shown here
sudden ridge
plural?
sudden ridge
notepad++ does not highlight that
coral light
This is why we suggest the editor and those two extensions along with the first schema line
sudden ridge
makes sense, I will get that installed.
coral light
We want to help people fish... not just with a line and hook (Notepad++) but with a fishing pole, boat, bait, depth sounder (VS Code)
high hazel
Whoops! Made a typo! Better check under the TV shows, too!
coral light
Vscode with schema will give you automatic fill like shown to reduce typos
Are you using AniDb? Or Trakt anywhere? Until you fill those out, anything in PMM/plex that needs it won't work.
sudden ridge
I am not using those, I can delete them or comment them out
coral light
Yes.
high hazel
I have VSC with the add-ins. I also added the code at the top.
Comment the top line out with a #
sudden ridge
Comment the top line out with a #
Property playlist_sync_to_user is not allowed.yaml-schema: settings
Not sure what this means? if its erroring out, just comment it out?
high hazel
Should be users (plural).
sudden ridge
Thank you!
coral light
Tip... if that happens again, backspace far enough back to then type the next character a d the VScode will offer autocomplete options ...
Tried to show you that here but it's a static image so not obvious: #1201212862824190003 message
sudden ridge
Updated the config file, no errors that I can see in VSC.
coral light
Looks like you might need to get those apikeys set up in your config...
Page 11 seems to say so at least
high hazel
Did you install requirements? I see an error "File Error: requirements.txt not found ". Also, your assets directory doesn't exist.
ancient meteorBOT

And do that from within your activated PMM-venv
sudden ridge
Page 11 seems to say so at least
I commented those out. Not sure why its still showing an error there.
coral light
There is an error around requirements
We need you to install the requirements as per the bot message
#1201212862824190003 message
Cakeybot message
sudden ridge
We need you to install the requirements as per the bot message
If I delete everything, keeping a copy of the config, and doing a clean install then copying the config would that solve the issue?
dusk hound
Shouldn't have to do all that; just installing the requirements should be sufficient.
sudden ridge
I followed the commands from Cakey Bot, that should fix the issues I assume
dusk hound
But if you want to start fresh you can do so. the config file should be fine unless you are referring to your own YAMLs or images.
coral light
If you share the commands that you are using and what is output after those commands, we can guide you on whether things are good or not. Rather than starting all over
sudden ridge
I already did those commands, didnt take any screen grabs. Movies seems to be fixed, the new ones added have received the overlay. It is choochin through TV atm.

Done
coral light
File Error: requirements.txt not found
sudden ridge
So I need to create that .txt, do I need to populate it with anything?
coral light
that should already be there... almost seems like you altered the files or removed files that were part of the git pull
sudden ridge
I ran the commands from the bot. If that file wasnt created automatically should I run the commands again?
coral light
1 sec
these are the commands I run from my W11 machine with an open powershell terminal:
c:
cd C:\Users\bullmoose20\Plex-Meta-Manager
.\pmm-venv\Scripts\activate
git checkout nightly
git stash
git stash clear
git pull
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
only once all those commands return without error... do I run PMM
sudden ridge
coral light
where is the activate?
did you not create the pmm-venv?
looks like you are on a linux machine?
coral light
ok.. and not in a pmm-venv
sudden ridge
Not sure what pmm-venv means
sudden ridge
its using python3 native
coral light
that link has the exact step in our linux walkthrough for a local install
not sure if you did that step or not
sudden ridge
I can do that, what benefit is this going to have?
coral light
as the page explains... ensures that there are no conflicts
This walkthrough is going to use a "virtual environment", since that provides a simple way to keep the requirements for a given thing self-contained; think of it as a "sandbox" for this script. It also provides a clean way to recover from mistakes, and keeps the host system clean.
so the commands would likely end up being:
cd Plex-Meta-Manager
source pmm-venv/bin/activate
git checkout nightly
git stash
git stash clear
git pull
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
once the pmm-venv is created as per that step in the walkthrough
sudden ridge
sudden ridge
seems to work in the test environment. Should I run the install requirements command in the main directory for PMM?
coral light
you already tried that and it did not work. please run pmm from that pmm-venv prompt
python plex_meta_manager.py -r
and then after about 1 minute, drop the meta.log into here so we can see if that requirements.txt line is gone or not
coral light
Eureka!!!
not sure what yuo mean by main
the pmm-venv is a python virtual environment... that would still use your Plex-Meta-Manager folder
coral light
oh ok... you are not being dumb. I was pretty lost way back when I started as well...
sudden ridge
So the requirements issue is gone it seems. Should I run python plex_meta_manager.py -r?
not in the test virtual environment
coral light
so please remember that when you run PMM, you should activate your pmm-venv
its not a test environment
it is your pmm-venv
you should always run pmm through that
cd Plex-Meta-Manager
source pmm-venv/bin/activate
git checkout nightly
git stash
git stash clear
git pull
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt```running the above will always ensure that you have the latest nightly and all requirements installed and updated
then you would run python plex_meta_manager.py -r
alternatively... if you dont want any updates
source pmm-venv/bin/activate
python plex_meta_manager.py -r
Okay, its running now. I will check back on it in 30-60 mins.
Fingers crossed no more issues.
Thank you so much Bullmoose, MyPostingID, and Mr. Carrot.
coral light
yup.. just to ensure that e draw your attention tot he walkthrough and this is what I was trying to explain:
sudden ridge
Yup, I am updating my nightly script for this
cd Plex-Meta-Manager
source pmm-venv/bin/activate
python plex_meta_manager.py -r
coral light
bingo
dusk hound
You can skip the activation [which often goes wrong in scripts] by doing:
cd Plex-Meta-Manager
pmm-venv/bin/python plex_meta_manager.py -r
Is what I have
dusk hound
That script of your does also assume that your current working directory when it runs will be some specific directory.
sudden ridge
so kill line 2
dusk hound
Don't kill it.
I would make this script:
cd /home/papertankz/Plex-Meta-Manager
pmm-venv/bin/python plex_meta_manager.py -r
the first line makes sure it works wherever you happen to be [not just in /home/papertankz] and the second does the "activate and run" in one command.
coral light
Thanks Mr Carrot.. my unix is rusty
sudden ridge
Appreciate it!
coral light
curious because i though the actual directory where plex-meta-manager was in is found in the root of his system... /
hang on... i missed the tilde
~
so that is his home directory
cool
sudden ridge
Everything seems to be in perfect working order. Thank you again for all the effort, knowledge transfer, and patience. Greatly appreciate the help!
