Looking for some help with my config if anyone could be so kind | Kometa | Page 1

Was previously using PMM and had figured out the perfect tweaks for my libraries but when things switched to Kometa, I did not keep up. That said, after a few months, I figured I'd let the bugs work out but I cannot seem to get my config.yml to play nicely and I've been going back and forth from log file to config yaml trying to get it to work. I don't want to give up but I also don't want to waste more of my own time either.
If someone could help me pinpoint my error(s), I would be forever grateful.
Just let me know what you'd like to start with

Providing Log Files

1: Go to your config folder

2: Go into the logs folder

3: Look for meta.log (not meta.1.log etc)

4: Drag it in the Discord thread - the whole thing, DO NOT EDIT IT

5: Still confused? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Log file too big? USE PASTEBIN or ZIP THE FILE

this config is a mess

halcyon sinew Sep 25, 2024, 7:30 PM

#

There's a lot of broken indentation in there.

final solar Sep 25, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

you have several defaults comments out, but kept their template variables, and then the indentation is broken

raven wasp Sep 25, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

okay, that's a good start for me then. I don't think I realized the template variables were connected to - default

halcyon sinew Sep 25, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

  TV Shows:
      -file: config/missing/TV Shows.yml
    collection_files:

needs to be:

  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - file: config/missing/TV Shows.yml

raven wasp Sep 25, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

idk why i thought that but that's making sense

halcyon sinew Sep 25, 2024, 7:34 PM

#

This:

      - default: streaming
          schedule: hourly(14-18)
        template_variables:
          collection_section: '001'
...

needs to be:

      - default: streaming
        schedule: hourly(14-18)
        template_variables:
          collection_section: '001'
...

raven wasp Sep 25, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

Okay I've addressed the collection files above -file as well as all instances of schedule too far indented

#

any reason why I get "mapping values are not allowed here" at line 14, column 15

fallen current Sep 25, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

bad indentation most likely

halcyon sinew Sep 25, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

indentation here is broken:

      schedule_overlays: hourly(12-14)
        overlay_files:
          #- reset_overlays: plex
          - remove_overlays: false
      - default: mediastinger
      - default: ribbon

#

I'd probably start by simplifying this dramatically; it's hard to track all the indentation issues in the many many lines.

raven wasp Sep 25, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

Honestly, you've both been really helpful already, I will continue looking at indentations and addressing accordingly from the top

fallen current Sep 25, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

The structure throughout your config should follow this flow/indentation - go through each one and see if the indentation lines up

libraries:
  MyLibrary:
    collection_files:
      - file: something
      - default: something
        template_variables:
          something: somethingvalue
    overlay_files:
      - file: something
      - default: something
        template_variables:
          something: somethingvalue
playlist_files:
  - file: something
  - default: something
    template_variables:
      something: somethingelse

Generally, I'd suggest commenting like this:

libraries:                           # This is called out once within the config.yml file
#  Movies-NotYet:                            # These are names of libraries in your Plex
#    remove_overlays: false           # Set this to true to remove all overlays
#    collection_files:
#      - default: basic               # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
#      - default: imdb                # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
#    overlay_files:
#      - default: ribbon              # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
  TV Shows: 
...

rather than this:

libraries:                           # This is called out once within the config.yml file
  #Movies-NotYet:                            # These are names of libraries in your Plex
    #remove_overlays: false           # Set this to true to remove all overlays
    #collection_files:
      #- default: basic               # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
      #- default: imdb                # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
      # see the wiki for how to use local files, folders, URLs, or files from git
    #overlay_files:
      #- default: ribbon              # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
      # see the wiki for how to use local files, folders, URLs, or files from git
  TV Shows: 
...

Just because it's easier to see what's commented and can be skipped when looking at the file.

✅ YAML validation passed!! That is valid YAML, but may not meet Kometa's requirements
