Sorry for the dupe....I thought I had it figured out, but then it didn't work again. Although I suspect I'm not crossing my Ts and dotting my Is.

I've created a few collections with their own asset folders. My other collections work fine, including changing the artwork for some of the default collections.

But one isn't updating the metadata (according to the log) after Kometa runs. My other collection logs all finish with "1 poster found....no updates needed." But my Bond collection is doing something different than the others and I've got no idea what it is.

When I changed the collection name to "Bond" and used Bond as the folder name, it worked. But with the collection as "James Bond" and the folder James Bond, it doesn't.

topaz dawn Noted. Out of curiosity, though, why is it working for the other ones?

It's getting them from here:

libraries:                      
  4K Movies on CoKroPlex:       
    library_name: 4K Movies     
    settings:                   
      asset_directory:          
        - plexassets/movieassets
        - plexassets/collections

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:00 PM

#

Ok. So I've got a conflict there. Got it. Again, just out of curiosity, if the collections will get their asset from the folder set in settings: asset_directory, why do I need to specify the sub-folder for the collection's assets? Won't it just look for the sub-folder with the same name as the asset? (Sorry, went from blurry eyed overtired to half-asleep, not enough coffee yet).

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

You don't need to specify the sub-folder

#

Based on your setup it will get it from the library-level asset folder plexassets/collections

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:09 PM

#

Ok. Now I need to remember why I started with the subfolders to begin with.

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:10 PM

#

if you have asset_folders: true then Kometa will look in your asset directory (plexassets/movieassets / plexassets/collections) for a dedicated folder for each collection/movie etc.

#

Doing that, you no longer need to specify the asset director for each yaml file

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:11 PM

#

Ah. I probably started that before I started with the full asset folders.

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:11 PM

#

unless the YAML file doesn't use one of your library or global-level asset directories, but in this case it seems liek tehy do.

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

last (I hope) question on this one issue....when I changed the directory to "asset_directory" rather than "assets", it started creating sub-folders within the collection folders I already had. Is that from specifying the sub-folder in the collection setting?

#

sorry, I realize that question reads like word salad.

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

so you're specifying for example

      - file: plexassets/collections/bond.yml
        assets_directory: plexassets/collections/James Bond

I'm guessing under settings you also have:

settings:
  asset_folders: true
  create_asset_folders: true

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

yes.

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:20 PM

#

so you're telling it to create the asset folder within plexassets/collections/James Bond

#

which would be plexassets/collections/James Bond/James Bond

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:20 PM

#

that makes sense. thank you.

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:21 PM

#

No worries

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:31 PM

#

I'm still having an issue. I commented out the asset_directory for the collections. ``` - file: plexassets/collections/batman.yml

asset_directory: plexassets/collections/Batman

  - file: plexassets/collections/bond.yml

asset_directory: plexassets/collections/James Bond

  - file: plexassets/collections/indianajones.yml

asset_directory: plexassets/collections/Indiana Jones```

and turned off the create asset folders.

    settings:
      asset_directory:
        - plexassets/movieassets
        - plexassets/collections
      create_asset_folders: false```

#

But it still doesn't want to grab the poster.jpg for the James Bond collection.

#

but at least I can see that its looking at the metadata

#

leaden canyon Sep 25, 2024, 1:37 PM

If you go to edit the collection within Plex, and go to the posters section, is it appearing in there just unselected maybe?

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:38 PM

#

...which worked when I named the collection "Bond" but not "James Bond"

#

poster not in plex.

lapis badge Sep 25, 2024, 1:40 PM

#

when i look at your James Bond file, i think there was only one space in front of James Bond, instead of the normal 2.
in addition, did you make sure there isn't a trailing space in the title of the collection?

topaz dawn Sep 25, 2024, 1:42 PM

#

I'll check the spaces. But when I change the folder name to "Bond" and the collection to "Bond" it works.

try deleting the collection in Plex
