I want default IMDB ratings and resolution.
frozen kernel
You can't specify the defaults to only apply to certain collections
cobalt citrus
Ah only refined ones like you said?
frozen kernel
Exactly
cobalt citrus
Then I could refine something similar that looks like the defaults and use that for certain collections?
frozen kernel
Sure
You could take a copy of the Default files and tweak them to do what you want
for example:
change that plex search to:
plex_search:
all:
<<rating<<rating_num>>>>_rating.<<gsuffix>>: <<gte>>
<<rating<<rating_num>>>>_rating.<<lsuffix>>: <<lte>>
any:
collection:
- My Collection
- My Other Collection
- My Third Collection
This one may be wrong...
plex_search:
all:
any:
- resolution.regex: <<res>>
- collection: [My First Collection, My Other Collection, My Third Collection]
hdr: <<hdr>>
if you tweak those files, you replace - default: ratings with - file: config/ratings.yml or whatever you call your tweaked file
cobalt citrus
overlay_files:
- default: ratings
template_variables:
rating1: critic
rating1_image: imdb

overlay_files:
- default: ratings
template_variables:

that will work as long as the critic rating is stored as imdb
cobalt citrus
for example:
<https://github.com/Kometa-Team/Kometa/blob/7ca6acbe2fd4a3326ffea0...
Okay, so I edit the ratings.yml and then add what I just send with the edit you mentioned in the config.yml?
frail badger
This is how you would use that default, yes:
overlay_files:
- default: ratings
template_variables:
rating1: critic
rating1_image: imdb
If you do your own customized version [which I would advise against]:
overlay_files:
- default: config/my-customized-ratings.yml
template_variables:
rating1: critic
rating1_image: imdb
wouldn't recommend editing the default yml file, if that's what you were asking
cobalt citrus
Oh
halcyon tangle
you could save your own copy and go from there
frail badger
My point is that you seem unfamiliar with YAML and the tool, and editing the default file is going to require knowledge of both the tool and YAML, so it will be easy to break it if you don't know what you are doing.
cobalt citrus
Yep that is what I am afraid of as well.
I was hoping there was a copy paste of it
frozen kernel
Not really, most people don't have overlays applying to just specific collections, so I doubt you'd find a pre-made version like that
frail badger
The even if there were a copy-paste for what you want today, there probably won't be for what you want tomorrow.
frozen kernel
You could take a look in #old-images to see if there's something in there similar, but you'd likely need to add in your own logic to any YAML which would make it apply to only the specific items you want.
frail badger
You should realize, though, that if you are looking to have overlays apply to movies in specific collections only when viewing those collections, that isn't possible. You could put an overlay on everything in the IMDB 250, for example, but then Star Wars would have an overlay everywhere it appears; in the library, in other collections, etc.
cobalt citrus
I see I see. The issue I have is that my library is too big to overlay everything. I dont have my own server, I am running Kometa on my own laptop. So in order to keep Kometa's daily run schedule under 1 hour or so I would have to do it for just the collections I have on my home/start in Plex.
frozen kernel
I guess the question is, do you need the rating on an overlay since Plex already displays that information?
halcyon tangle
and updating the collection, will not auto update the overlay. you would then need to rerun the overlay,
cobalt citrus
I dont need it at all. It would just be nice and makes plex look better.
cobalt citrus

So it will still take a long time even if it would overlay only new movies in the collections?
halcyon tangle
you can't run overlays on just new items, it would still have to parse through the collection. Overlays would have to still run through everything in the collection and see if the overlay applies or not; or needs changed
cobalt citrus
But it would only parse the collections I specify then?
frail badger
Yes, it would just do the bulk of the work on the contents of those collections. Note that this is assuming those collections are not smart collections. If you are wanting to target smart collections it gets trickier.
cobalt citrus
Yes, it would just do the bulk of the work on the contents of those collections....
No they are not smart collections.
Smaller ones with 50 max. Just ''top trending'' etc

Seems like what I want is too difficult for me to do myself. Thought it would be as easy as creating the collections.
frail badger
It may or may not be. Editing the defaults is just not something that is well-suited to copy-paste-not-sure-what-this-does editing. It also means that if any improvements/changes/fixes are made to the default ratings overlays you will then have to do it all again.
cobalt citrus
Alright, thanks for the help.
