#How do I create a collection for all Oscar Nominated Movies (just one for all)?

Hi folks, I'm just trying to get my head around Kometa, but loving what it can add to Plex so far.

I'm want to have a collection for all Oscar nominated movies, but I can't see to find one. I can find ones that create a seperate collection for each years' nominations, and one that gives collections for best directors, etc, but not for just one that puts all years into just one collection.

This is one I was looking at, but I can't work out how to change it to not create multiple year ones;

libraries:
Movies:
collection_files:
#- default: basic # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
#- default: imdb # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
- default: oscars
template_variables:
winning: false
use_best_director: false
use_best_picture: false
collection_mode: show_items
collection_order: alpha
radarr_add_missing: true
radarr_search: false
name_format: Oscars <<key_name>> Nominees
image: award/oscars/picture_nomination/<<key>>
category_filter:
- best motion picture of the year
data:
starting: latest-1
ending: latest

Is anyone able to help please? I'm trying trying to understand how they work, etc (and struggling!)

Thanks!

@split spindle done

#

There is no settings-based way to include nominees in the default oscars collection.

#

The customization points for the default oscars collection are shown here:
https://kometa.wiki/en/nightly/defaults/award/oscars/

If you want an oscars collection that includes nominees (or one that does something different to what's described at the link above], you will need to create your own from scratch, OR make a copy of the default oscars YAML and modify it.

#

It's almost certainly simpler to create one from scratch.

#

You may want to use the imdb_award builder:
https://kometa.wiki/en/nightly/files/builders/imdb/#imdb-award

Perhaps something like:

collections:
  Academy Award Best Picture Nominees:
    imdb_award: 
      event_id: ev0000003
      event_year: 1929-current
      award_filter: 
       - Best Motion Picture of the Year
       - Best Picture
       - Best Picture, Production
       - Best Picture, Unique and Artistic Production

The one I pasted above does pull in all the nominated movies from the oscars default, but it then splits them into one collection for each year as far back as you tell it (I've tried it for the last 10 years and it did them).
I'll paste yours in and run it, see what that gives me. Thanks.
Haven't worked it out enough to start from scratch on one yet!

Oh, apparently the winning thing got added but not documented.

#

Those default year collections are individual.

Do you want all nominees for any award ever or just all nominees for Best Picture?

split spindle
#

Just all movies nominated for best picture, so I think there's around 8-10 per year, probably a few less per year pre-2000 (they nominate more now!)

That example above should do that.

OK, thanks. I'm struggling to understand the difference between what goes into the main config.yml and what goes into the collections.yml
Is it best to have all collections in the collections.yml for each Library? I have a few; Movie Archive, Animated Movies, New Movies, Documentary Movies, all which need different collections configuring. For example, for Animated, I don't need the IMDB ones, oscars or genres, but I do want them for studios to separate Pixar, Disney, etc.
Does the collections.yml differ to the main config.yml? Or are they just two options for adding configs?
Thanks!

Does the collections.yml differ to the main config.yml?

They are entirely different.

collections.yml or other files like it contain collection definitions
config.yml contains tool settings and links to files which contain collection definitions [like collections.yml]

Same concept with files that contain overlay or metadata definitions.

#

Is it best to have all collections in the collections.yml for each Library?

There is no objective "best". You should separate them as makes sense for your situation. For example, if you have 10 collections you want to use in all libraries and 5 you only want in a few, you don't want all 15 of those in the same YAML file.

Ah, ok. So when I'm putting stuff in the config.yml under libraries>collection_files - are those for all default templates? LIke the basic: imdb, etc?
And in the collection.yml (which is pointed to under libraries>collection_files> -file: path-to-config.yml
Is that more for custom collections?

Sorry for the questions, I'm only just starting on this and you've already been super helpful!
