Remux Collection How-To

[copper cradle]

I’m trying to make a collection of REMUX only movies but I’m running into difficulty. Can someone please assist? Just an FYI, I only use collections not overlays.

Probably a filter on the file name.

What are you trying and what does "running into difficulty" actually mean?

[copper cradle]

I tried to do a filter on a filename but it says it’s not an option

[quick raven]

Filters on filenames are absolutely possible. Presumably you've done a collection definition, tried to run it, and had problems.

What specifically have you tried?

[copper cradle]

collections:
REMUX:
sort_title: "!010_REMUX"
plex_search:
all:
filename: REMUX
sync_mode: sync
collection_order: release.desc
summary: "A collection of high-quality REMUX movies."
visible_library: true
visible_home: true
visible_shared: true

that was my last try

Using Code Blocks

Please use code blocks when sending any code-related text (such as error messages or configuration file extracts.)

The Grave Accent key (`) is used to define code blocks and is typically found to the left of the number 1 key on a standard keyboard.

If you are posting any yaml-formatted text (such as collections), you can add yaml to your Grave Accent keys for coloured formatting. See the below sample text and output

YOU TYPE THIS

`​`​`yaml
collections:
  Documentaries:
    smart_filter:
      all:
        genre: Documentary
`​`​`

DISCORD DISPLAYS

collections:
  Documentaries:
    smart_filter:
      all:
        genre: Documentary

Thanks for using Kometa

collections:
  REMUX:
    sort_title: "!010_REMUX"
    plex_search:
      all:
        filename: REMUX
    sync_mode: sync
    collection_order: release.desc
    summary: "A collection of high-quality REMUX movies."
    visible_library: true
    visible_home: true
    visible_shared: true

Details of the plex_search are here:
https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/files/builders/plex/#plex-search

And yes, filename used like that is not listed in the wiki and is not available.

You could use a filter on everything in the library as shown here:
https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/files/builders/plex/#plex-all

Filters are described here:
https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/files/filters/

And the one you want would be a string filter on filepath:
https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/files/filters/#string-filters

So something like:

collections:
  REMUX:
    plex_all: true
    filters:
      filepath: REMUX

[copper cradle]

ok thank you. i will try that

[quick raven]

Where did you find this?

    plex_search:
      all:
        filename: REMUX

does documentation need to be updated?

[copper cradle]

i dont recall. i was searching all over the web.

Don't trust anything apart from the Kometa website 😄

[copper cradle]

I’m seeing that.

[quick raven]

Especially ChatGPT

[copper cradle]

Yeah? I don’t use it for any of this kind of stuff. I don’t trust it. I feel like it stores everything.

[quick raven]

I have never seen chatgpt produce anything useful for Kometa. It seems to just make stuff up.

[copper cradle]

BTW, it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
