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.

steel merlin
#

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

|====================================================================================================|

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?
