Hi! I have troubles with the assets usage in a library called TestMovies and it seems Kometa is looking for a folder with the path config/assets/test . I'm completely lost at this point.

Are all the movie files behind that library in a single folder named "test"?
The asset path has nothing to do with the library name.
It is based on the folder in which the movie file itself is found, and for this to work all your movies have to be in individual folders with unique names.
toxic quartz
yes, you are right. I completely forget the name of the folder and thought it compares the name of the library. I'll fit that. Thanks!
well. I'm not sure that's all I'm afraid 🥴
I've moved the poster (now it's into config/assets/test/12 monos (1995).mkv/poster.jpg). But still complains:
1 | Asset Warning: No poster found for '12 monos' in the assets folder '/config/assets/test'.
The movie is into .../movies/test/12 monos (1995).mkv
ok, I see
a folder for the movie is missing
toxic quartz
sorry, I just figure out
haughty sandal
What needs to change on this page to make this more clear?

This is a sincere question since it seems very clear to me but apparently isn't.

your folder for the movie would be 12 monos and in assets/test/12 monos for the poster

Sorry. I've read it this morning but it's too much details to bear in mind. I'm keeping the name of the library matching with the config file, also in Posterizar config... I told you, there was a moment that I completely forgot the file sctructure of the movies (Plex works fine without a folder for every movie). Is just a detail, but honestly, I think if this break the whole script I think it would be helpful if the log point it out.
I appreciate your help, guys.

Plex works fine without a folder for every movie
That may be true but I think they recommend a folder for each movie/show.

There's no way for Kometa to know specifically why it can't find an asset image. It asks Plex for a path, then looks for an asset image based on some component of that path. There's no way for it to know whether your movies are in individual folders or not. All it knows is "no image/folder at that path".
toxic quartz
you said Kometa is able to ask Plex for a path? do you mean Plex says /movies/[library_name]/movie_file.mkv ? In that case you could detect that is not the correct path, because it should be: /movies/[library_name]/movie_folder/movie_file.mkv
haughty sandal
It gets the path to the movie file, which has nothing to do with the library.
/path/to/media/movies/Star Wars (1977) {imdb-tt0076759} {tmdb-11}/Star Wars (1977) [1080p].mp4
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The asset dir would be:
config/assets/Star Wars (1977) {imdb-tt0076759} {tmdb-11}/poster.png
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That movie file might be in any number of libraries.
toxic quartz
oh, that's true that the library can have X paths. Then if you could ask Plex to the paths that contains the library (you know the library because is configured in Kometa) then you'd know their relationship. But maybe is overkill (all this enginering just to put a message in the log)
haughty sandal
There's still no way for Kometa to know that "test" has more than one movie in it, without also tracking all the paths in the library and somehow figuring that out.
But maybe is overkill (all this enginering just to put a message in the log)
It is absolutely overkill.

@toxic quartz plex does recommend having movies in separate folders. Yes having them not in a folder will work, but folder helps with matching and just keeping things organized and recognizable
toxic quartz
yes. I agree
and also I have this structure in my libraries, but that one was just to test
floral karma
So why would you create a different type folder structure in a test?
toxic quartz
my full Kometa script lasts hours, so that's why I test with few movies in a test library
haughty sandal
Which is a great idea, but the test library should match the production library in all ways but size..
toxic quartz
yes. My bad. Was a mistake
haughty sandal
If you want a script to create small test libraries for these purposes I have such a thing.
haughty sandal
The libraries follow TRaSH naming, which may not match your production library.

would be nice to have it! What I'm doing now is hardlinking files from real libraries (one by one)
haughty sandal

link the folders, not the files
haughty sandal
I used to use symlinks for this, as well.

You could also script this.
There's no reason to do it manually more than once.
toxic quartz
agree too. I was just starting but definetly these kind of tools are very useful (usually I create them after 3 repetitions or more 😛 )
