I created posters and placed them in the asset folder in config directory. I am trying to have the posters applied to my Universe collections and Genre collections from my config file. Iread through the wiki but all combinations I have tried do not get the posters applied. I would appreciate if someone could take a look. Thanks.
What are the combinations you've tried? No one here can see your screen or read your mind.
One important detail:
if you want your assets to override the images in the defaults, you will have to enable this settting:
prioritize_assets: false
Aside from that it's impossible to say anything based on that config since you haven't provided any details of which collections, where the assets are stored under what names, etc.
A log would be a good first step if nothing else.

Please find attached my log and config file. Every collection item in my Universe collection has a poster in the asset folder. From Alien Predator through X-men Universe. None of the posters are applied. The assets are stored in my config/assets/Alien Predator or config/assets/X-men Universe.
well what are the name of the folders? @bleak raptor
if the folder is not named exactly what the collection is called, then the asset will not be applied
@bleak raptor config isn't needed, it's already included in your log file
and i would also recommend setting your asset folder at library level in addition

- pmm: universe
#schedule: weekly(Wednesday)
settings:
asset_directory: config/assets
asset_folders: true
create_asset_folders: true
prioritize_assets: false
dimensional_asset_rename: true
asset_depth: 0```
is also not correct
You're explicitly telling PMM not to use assets.
| prioritize_assets: false |
Flip that to true if you want assets to take priority over the url posters that are used by the defaults.
so the combination of the above
and this yaml - pmm: genre schedule: weekly(Tuesday) settings: asset_directory: config/assets asset_folders: true create_asset_folders: true prioritize_assets: false dimensional_asset_rename: true asset_depth: 0 is also not correct
Sorry I copied and pasted what was posted on 4/14 @ 7:06pm. It did not make sense to have it at false but I'm a good soldier and do what the experts tell me.
- What is not correct. 2. As for the names of the folders and location, I did not create them or name them so I would assume PMM did it correctly? They sit in config/assets
You can't use settings at the level of an individual metadata file like you are there.
The settings for the collections. You can’t use settings at a collection level
I don't know what any of that means.
|======================= Updating Metadata of DC Extended Universe Collection =======================|
| |
| Collection Metadata Edits |
| 2 posters found: |
| Method: url_poster Poster: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Images/master/universe/dcu.jpg |
| Method: asset_directory Poster: {'attribute': 'asset_directory', 'location': '/config/assets/DC Extended Universe/poster.png', 'prefix': "DC Extended Universe's ", 'is_poster': True, 'is_url': False, 'compare': 2143687, 'message': "DC Extended Universe's poster to [File] /config/assets/DC Extended Universe/poster.png"} |
| Metadata: poster update not needed |
| |
|====================================================================================================|
The default metadata files have their posters set via url_poster; that's the highest-priority image source.
PMM sees posters for this collection at the default url and also at /config/assets/DC Extended Universe/poster.png, but since you have prioritize_assets set to false, the url_poster wins and the asset is ignored.
It's behaving exactly as you have configured it.
Oh, I see, I pasted the value from your config and you just copied and pasted it. How should I have worded that differently?
Got it. Thanks for the help.
