Default Collections and linking with Sonarr/Radarr

[static canyon]

I would like to have Sonarr and Radarr populate specific collections only which were setup when I install PMM (UnRaid, Docker) - The Popular Movies, etc. . . I do not want it download the top 250 shows for exmaple. Where are these colletions files so I can add the appropriate info for radarr / sonarr

Those are probably the defaults, and customizing them [including adding things to radarr] is discussed in the wiki.

i looked and didnt see it - i will look again

Then customization is covered here:

This is not in my config - i was looking for it

i couln't find 'collection_files' anywhere in it

[nimble holly]

well, then something else is creating those collections.

what is in your config?

[static canyon]

you want the whole thing? lol

each block is pretty much identical

[nimble holly]

in version 1.20, metadata_path has changed to collection_files. Either works. That has no effect on the template variables.

[static canyon]

aha! that makes sense

maybe my docker repot i use in unraid is behind

ok so IMDB adds those collections; but what if i only want to download stuff in 'popular' is there a way to break that out?

[nimble holly]

Yes, that's available in the template variables:

The keys are shown on that page:

And there's an example of using template variables at the bottom of the page.

How you do it specifcally will depend on how you have radarr configured upstream.

If you have radarr set to add_missing globally, you will want to turn it OFF here for the ones you DON'T want

libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: imdb
        template_variables:
          radarr_add_missing_top: false
          radarr_add_missing_lowest: false

or vice versa

libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: imdb
        template_variables:
          radarr_add_missing_popular: true

[static canyon]

nice!!

TY!

[nimble holly]

All the defaults are customized in that way.

[static canyon]

at what point in processing does it add to radarr? it went through the lists and is upodating images but nothing was queued

[nimble holly]

It does that when the collection is processed.

[static canyon]

ok

i'll checl for error in logs

doesnt even look like it tried

thtats the area i added

then i configured the radarr area

it loks like it connected

[nimble holly]

You've added it in the ratings overlay section. Doesn't work there.

[static canyon]

ahhh ok i think i follow

so like this?

[nimble holly]

Indentation is wrong, but that's the right place.

[static canyon]

yea i just saw that

and i just found the issue with docker networking i had and adjusted it lol host -> dockers thing

still didn't download or queue them

[nimble holly]

need to see a log to offer anything but sympathy

[static canyon]

found a typo

template_variable not template_variables -- rerunning
