This, as far i can remeber back when i ask for that i was told i have to make my own runtime yml and change this on my own cause it is not poasible to change it that way, but now it is, so is it possible on nightly only or on prod too?

2yrs.. hmm.. so right when FS asked for it. Right? 🙂

fresh gorge Mar 16, 2024, 9:42 PM

probably a week after he asked for it

#

in any case... you can now save yourself managing another file locally

proud seal Mar 16, 2024, 9:42 PM

#

Nice, 1 local config file i can get rid of

#

Now i have to check all my local files 🥹

Worked perfect but with the gradient you don't even see the box

#

Seems strange in glances that PPM is not running but PMM is... but PPM is sitting at 100%cpu ????

#

#

#

the pwsh command

proud seal Mar 16, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

I noticed that too, must be a pwsh container problem, i have this on other containers too

#

but no idea how I can change that 😅

fresh gorge Mar 16, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

rare tulip Worked perfect but with the gradient you don't even see the box

i use a different gradient that is not as dark

#

#

darn... need to widen that episode line

rare tulip Mar 16, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

proud seal but no idea how I can change that 😅

testing some cpu settings in the docker-compose to limit resources... Is it just me or does it take a long time for the container to start?

#

deploy: resources: limits: cpus: '0.75' memory: 2048M reservations: cpus: '0.50' memory: 200M

#

#

It lowered it... now I'll have to run some test to see impact on run times

covert anchor Mar 17, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

fresh gorge

Does this find episode posters, or just use existing plex shit?

fresh gorge Mar 17, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

the source is always outside of plex

#

so tmdb, then fanart, tvdb, imdb

#

and based on textless and en

#

just like the posters

#

so it will grab backgrounds and episode titlecards

#

i am now producing all the images for my small prod library and then will run pmm against the newly generated assets to clean up everything in PLex is one swoop

covert anchor Mar 17, 2024, 6:34 AM

so i was also curious of what your pmm config is for the shit you moved around? @fresh gorge

proud seal Mar 17, 2024, 6:52 AM

#

rare tulip testing some cpu settings in the docker-compose to limit resources... Is it just...

I think its the nature of pwsh in a container, and we cant do anything about this, i play around with python, maybe i just swap out the startup script with python to lower the usage while in idle.

proud seal Mar 17, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

But its not always, now my ppm runs since yesterday with 0% in idle

fresh gorge Mar 17, 2024, 12:26 PM

#

And I can't get mine to go past 5%

#

lol

#

Seems like something is off in terms of numbers between summary and also between summary and discord message

#

📎 Logs_2.zip

#

Ooofff...

#

So... can I suggest you wrap the message type with [] so [ERROR] making it easier to find the error lines? As well, can a new column in the csv have the ERROR TRUE/FALSE.

Finally, 73 errors in the summary and 1000+ error lines in the logs

rare tulip Mar 17, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

Now after a run it's sitting at zero 🙂

proud seal Mar 17, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

Yeah could be an option.

fresh gorge Mar 17, 2024, 7:48 PM

#

keeps it simple rather than an additional if statement to then check whether you can reach the path...

#

but maybe thats part of the problem... is that you have the right token, but the wrong library is being passed

#

or maybe no library is being passed...

proud seal Mar 17, 2024, 7:49 PM

#

Libs are not passed in that step, it is the query for all

fresh gorge Mar 17, 2024, 7:50 PM

#

funny that you would have access to the first "if" as it resolves true... and then fails with the full path

proud seal Mar 17, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

Maybe an empty plex server without libs?

fresh gorge Mar 17, 2024, 7:51 PM

fresh gorge Mar 17, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

when you query there, thats before or after the "LibstoExclude": ["Movies", "TV Shows", "", "", "Other Videos", "Music", "Photos", "Test Videos", "Playlists" ],

https://fanart.tv/api/imagedata2.php?section=1&image=123191

For some reason, even if this is set to 00 on fanart.tv, its not pulling it

My season 4 and season 5 are not found on TMDB, this is normal... then it should fall back to fanart.tv and find this textless poster, but it does not and then goes to tvdb, which does not have any textless and is LOCKED for adding more images

#

let me do a run, just with those two season posters missing

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:04 PM

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

#

ok... but

#

if its not grabbing from fanart season, then its getting it from fanart poster?

#

but its taking the fanart poster WITH text instead of the textless one

#

this is why I am a little confused here (maybe a lot)

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

fresh gorge if its not grabbing from fanart season, then its getting it from fanart poster?

no

#

season is season, poster is poster

#

a season is not grabbing from posters and posters are not grabbing from seasons

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

So my original question still stands... ?

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

what is your question?

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

Logs are showing that Money Heist Season 4 and Season 5 are coming from fanart.tv...

#

ah crap

#

i just saw it

#

the source is coming from tvdb

#

not fanart

#

I cant read

#

sorry

#

so unless I fix tvdb, i am out of luck on getting a textless poster for season 4 and season 5

#

so there is another question... are you able to grab season posters from tvdb? Or should I just try to get some textless posters in there.... on tvdb? Trying to figure out where I can ask the admins on TVDB to add some textless posters

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:32 PM

#

im still working on the general ability to grab Season Posters from TVDB, im getting mixed results, sometimes i get it back, sometimes not :/

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 3:35 PM

#

The issue is that on tmdb, while there is a function to grab alternate season setups, the current PPM does not allow for it

#

money heist on tmdb has alternate seasons because original was 3 but netflix release was 5

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

its on tvdb the same

#

#

official order has only 3

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 3:43 PM

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71446-la-casa-de-papel
versus
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71446-la-casa-de-papel/episode_groups

And a lot of people have these episode groups (5 seasons 48 episodes): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71446-la-casa-de-papel/episode_group/5eb730dfca7ec6001f7beb51 or https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71446-la-casa-de-papel/episode_group/65f561883fe1600164c52d5f

#

Trying to figure out what the next best approach is for situations like this... which is probably very rare... but again thinking about some easy solutions if possible

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:46 PM

#

i know, but coding all those things is to complex, i may can integrate an alternative/official search in tvdb and take the pic then, but not an fast fix, i have to play with order, api and and and, cannot promise that one to happen.

#

in theory it is possible with TVDB because it offers the search for alternative seasons via api

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

So I totally agree... which is why I am trying to decide WHICH place I can try and add the textless art for season 4 and season 5 of Money Heist

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

best place would be fanart & TVDB, because both have the ability to add alternative season sources

#

i will have a look on a tvdb function to integrate the season poster & alternative search

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 4:32 PM

#

so today... with 0 changes to PPM.... where should I add the textless on tvdb?

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 4:36 PM

#

With 0 changes to ppm it wont grab season posters on tvdb

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 4:39 PM

#

So I need to add textless to the posters section.... because it's clearly grabbing the poster from tvdb...

#

And I can also try to add to the seasons for the future version of PPM.

#

I do understand that ppm would grab the same for season 4 and season 5 today since it grabs 1 poster from the posters section and applies it to season 4 and season 5

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

I have a lot free time tomorrow, maybe i can hack something together.

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

I still need to convince TVDB to add more posters to an already locked Money Heist entry.. I am asking nicely in hopes that they say yes

proud seal Mar 18, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

@fresh gorge
faster then i thought, i already worked on that someday, found the required code in my script repo,
tvdb season search in latest integrated.

#

so moneyheist should now return season pics on your end.

#

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

nice.. I am still trying to get them (TVDB) to add these:

#

and until then , I am gonna have to "hack" it by looking at the imagemagicklog from PPM until they add it and I can just manually place them in to the folder

Another idea.. maybe silly or maybe not.... a fallback to local as an input source... so I could have dropped these into a properly named folder, and PPM would have used it and just applied the imageprocessing and placed them into the destination AssetPath folder

#

So an InputAssetPath: "./inputassets" and in that folder, you could put Season01.ext, poster.ext, background.ext, S01E01.ext and then if it finds it there, it can produce the image with the gradient, borders, and overlays

#

or if its easier... a -Local mode that is like -Testing but uses the InputAssetsPath

#

because the titlecards are a disaster (not total disaster, but annoying disaster) for Money Heist:

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

That was pretty painful... lol...

#

to manually create them

#

and as for the titlecards.. thats next....gotta go grab them all from the correct episode groups for all seasons and recreate them 48 downloads

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 8:30 PM

#

Oh I know... just trying to see what the effort was like...

#

and then just realised that the episode titles are also all wrong

#

1 issue at a time

#

At least I now have all the proper sources and images

#

📎 InputAssets.zip

#

then I need to perform a bunch of search and replaces on the ImageMagickLog.log and then run that against the directory and it should work.....

fresh gorge Mar 18, 2024, 9:48 PM

#

Omg.... this is painful... lol.. it might be faster for me to create a -Local option. I keep getting the search and replace wrong and then need to start all over...lmao

#

Also noticed in the imagemagick logs. That there is always a space that prepends to the episode with bullet caption.
" SEASON 1 * EPISODE 1" instead of "SEASON 1 * EPISODE 1"

There is no textless title card on tvdb or tmdb, not sure why it's saying that. Also, it's downloading a background/title card, not a poster.

It's saying its' finding textless title cards and backgrounds that don't exist.

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 1:47 AM

#

only 51 seasons... lol

#

that show has something like 1020 episodes... should be an interesting run

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 1:49 AM

Yeah, it's a bit! Since 1974

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 1:50 AM

#

I remember this show from when I was a child... yes I am that old...

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

Yeah, me too...

#

So I'm not really seeing an issue with what it's doing, the issue is with what it's reporting. I looked and there is not textless title card or textless background for that specific episode yet it's displaying that it found some.

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 1:55 AM

#

OK... so maybe just a reporting thing.. I know that we have had struggles with some of this here... likely because of the fallbacks and not resetting counters and stuff...

#

i mean if its saying downloaded poster, but its a titlecard... that might be an easy fix as it was probably just a copy paste issue

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

Yes, it seems to be doing what it should be doing, but it's saying it found textless stuff when I verified it doesn't exist. It says "poster" but it's downloading a background. Maybe it should just be "artwork"? I've also noticed in some cases it's not listing the show name that it's working on so I'm sure there's some stuff that maybe isn't getting set/cleared or something.

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 1:58 AM

                                        Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $global:posterurl -OutFile $EpisodeImage

                                        if ($global:posterurl -like 'https://image.tmdb.org*') {

                                            }

#

so this part is grabbing episode image, but writing to log that its a poster

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 2:00 AM

#

Yeah, I looked at that but I couldn't tell exactly what it was doing (poster/background/title card)

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 2:03 AM

#

-OutFile $EpisodeImage

#

that was the key

#

PR submitted

#

so if the tool cannot find title card, then it could fallback to the show background which can happen with so many seasons and episodes

#

which is why I wrote title_card_clips.py which will snap a frame at a designated timestamp to upload to TMDB

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

Yeah, I get that. And it says it's using the show background, but it also says it found a textless title card and background.

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

yeah.. thats also strange that it said it was successful at finding something on tvdb, but then decides that it needs to use teh show background

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 2:12 AM

#

I only see two places where it reports "Found Textless background on TMDB" in the script, and the coding is different between them so I'm wondering if that maybe has something to do with it, but it's like trying to translate Mandarin.

Here's an example of where it shows it's starting the title card search for season 1 episode 1 but then the next search it doesn't say "Start Title Card search". And in some, it just shows season and episode numbers and I don't know what show it's searching.

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 2:22 AM

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 2:17 PM

#

I think it would only grab a plex poster if there is no overlay detected on it but it should grab something from TMDB/TVDB/Fanart first, if it exists. I saw some process today that it couldn't find anything online and plex had an overlay so it didn't grab anything. I believe that means that it already has a plex poster with overlay, but not sure if it's PPM overlay or PMM overlay (or both). I'll have to take a look after it finishes the PPM/PMM run and see. I grabbed the latest this morning and started a run so it will only be about 1/3 of my tv shows that get new posters.

how? if a poster from ppm is in plex then it is available in asset dir, if its in asset dir, it get scipped?

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 2:49 PM

#

Don't ask me how, it will happen.... people share their posters... I dunno... 🤷‍♀️

#

In any case, I also see your point.. in a perfect world... which we don't live in.

#

Look at the drazzilb - daps script that grabs posters from a Google drive

#

Someone could easily create posters with this and share their style. PMM would add them....

#

Then they discover your app

#

Start to use it only to end up getting images from Plex that have a gradient, border, and text, applied... that will then get a new font, border and gradient applied.

#

To be fair... I am on phone and at work. I have not seen how this new feature is implemented...

#

Is it automatic? If so, then stuff will arrive from all kinds of different places

#

It will be like mis-labelled tmdb images

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 2:54 PM

its integrated the same way as the other providers

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

Something on tmdb that is labelled no language but has text on it.

#

Adding exif label is a nice way to "add your signature" that the image was created using ppm.

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 2:57 PM

        # Create a new PropertyItem for Image Description (EXIF tag)
        $PropertyItem = New-Object System.Drawing.Imaging.PropertyItem
        $PropertyItem.Id = 270 # PropertyId for Image Description (EXIF tag)
        $PropertyItem.Type = 2 # ASCII
        $PropertyItem.Value = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($Label + "`0") # Append null character
        $Image.SetPropertyItem($PropertyItem)

        # Save the modified image
        $NewImagePath = [System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($ImagePath, ".labeled.jpg")
        $Image.Save($NewImagePath)

        Write-Host "Label '$Label' added to $ImagePath and saved as $NewImagePath."
    }

So I think I finally understand the math, however hoping that we might be able to improve the message and reporting....

Essentially, 5375 images were downloaded.... then the last section is showing 5303 textless , 2150 fallback, 72 with text.

So really, the 2150 is part of the 5303. And 5303 - 2150 = 3153 posters that were taken from primary source(tmdb)

The 5375 equals text (72) plus textless (5303)

#

Maybe adding that distinction around the 2150 would be good? Or showing the 3153 as a line after the 2150 could provide clarity? More indentation to visually show that it's a subset?

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 4:40 PM

In theory you do not need it, only if you manually have added posters to plex from ppm

#

Also i do not brand all images, only when imageprocessing is enabled

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

Ok, I haven't added anything manually

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

So if you just use ppm to download images without any processing it wont brand it.

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

modern pebble Ok, I haven't added anything manually

Then you should be fine

#

I'm not recreating them either 👍

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

Also, consider that maybe a tool like TCM would want to avoid adding overlays to an image that is already branded with ppm. That use case can happen I would think.

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

Therefore someone would have to create a FR on TCM 🤭

But i dont think someone will use both for titlecards

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 4:46 PM

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

And that's what I did to get the TCM exif comment checked between PMM and TCM

#

If you use TCM, you might want to use ppm to grab textless title cards... and then do image processing with TCM

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 4:47 PM

#

I use ppm and tcm but only tcm for titlecards, because i like the blueprints

modern pebble Mar 19, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

But there wouldn't be any image processing from ppm for those, would there?

fresh gorge Mar 19, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

In theory, no

#

But maybe people want to apply a common gradient across the board, but no text or borders

#

I don't think they should split between two tools

#

Either image process on ppm or do it on TCM

#

Not both...

#

But to grab the title cards, ppm is sweet

#

Not sure about TCM in terms of grabbing title cards like ppm does

proud seal Mar 19, 2024, 4:51 PM
