Yesterday I edited my YAML file I will include two screenshots, one of before and after. I used to have overlays on shows. That would show canceled, returning soon *including the date). But after editing my YAML it seemed to stop placing this overlay on all shows. This pings to TMDB to find the dates but when I run Kometa I get this: "Found existing data for 1247 titles. Removing from search list. " I need it to not do this as its skipping placing an overlay on these

Please provide a full log showing this happening.

Thanks for using Kometa
vestal sierra
The things you've added to the config would have no direct effect on overlays, since they are all collection-related.
The log will show exactly what's going on.

Here it is, sorry
vestal sierra
It appears to be behaving as configured.
Your status overlay definition:
| Collection Filter tmdb_status: ['returning', 'planned', 'production'] |
| Collection Filter release.after: 2025-06-13 |
You're looking for things with status 'returning', 'planned', or 'production' that were released after last Friday.
Kometa grabs all 1245 shows in the library:
| Builder: plex_all: show
|
| Processing Plex All Shows
|
| 1245 IDs Found
Then applies the filters.
There are 29 conversion issues among those 1245 IDs, but ultimately:
| No Items found for Overlay File (0) TV Shows_Status_Upcoming_Banner |
Most likely because nothing in your library was released after last Friday.
dim raptor
The thing is Reurning Shows those are all fine, but my older shows used to have an overlay baner that said canceled, or retunring (if there was no set date). When I run Kometa I get this. It sasys found 1257 entries (the number of shows I have), found exisiting data for 1247 of these
vestal sierra
Next overlay:
| Collection Filter first_episode_aired.after: 2025-05-23
|
| Builder: tmdb_discover: {'limit': 500, 'air_date.gte': '06/14/2025', 'air_date.lte': '06/14/2025', 'timezone': 'America/New_York', 'with_status': 0}
TMDB returns 183 shows:
| Processing TMDb Discover: 183 Shows
| air_date.gte: 2025-06-14
| air_date.lte: 2025-06-14
| timezone: America/New_York
| with_status: 0
|
| 183 IDs Found
And again none of them make it through this filter:
| Collection Filter first_episode_aired.after: 2025-05-23
I guess my question would be how to remove that "existing data" and reapply the overlay to the non current shows like it used to do
vestal sierra
That is not Kometa output.
Presumably it's PATTRMM output, so if that's the part you're having trouble with it should go over there.
If the issue is with applying overlays, that's Kometa's responsibility.
PATTRMM produces the YAML that Kometa interprets to apply overlays.
dim raptor
I did ask over there and they directed me over here. Im sorry my understanding is not good. So Kometa applies the overlays but this is logic with Pattrn not sending the correct info for the older overlays?
vestal sierra
Yeah, I suggested that since you were showing a Kometa config file and describing behavior that had changed since making changes to that config, which would be in Kometa's control.
This overlay YAML file:
overlay_files:
- file: config/overlays/TV-Shows-returning-soon-overlay.yml
Is created by PATTRMM, and Kometa is interpreting it when it runs to actually apply the overlays. According to this log, Kometa appears to be doing what this YAML file is telling it to do.
Now, the output you show above seems to indicate that the issue is in fact in some PATTRMM is doing when it generates that file.

I'm getting his generated overlay file. I'll look at it but the ended and cancelled stuff is static.
I'll update you
vestal sierra
OK, on those:
| 634 Items found for Overlay File (0) TV Shows_Status_Ended
| 131 Items found for Overlay File (0) TV Shows_Status_Canceled
| 451 Items found for Overlay File (0) TV Shows_Status_Returning
But as far as Kometa can tell, for nearly every show:
| #1 HAPPY FAMILY USA
| Overlay Update Not Needed
This indicates that as far as Kometa can tell, the show poster already has an overlay, and that overlay is the same one that would be applied today, therefore "Overlay Update Not Needed"
rich musk
It looks like those blocks weren't added to the overlay file for some reason. They're running again to see if it's persistent, though code hasn't changed in months.
Ended and Cancelled are completely missing. It's odd that they showed up in Kometa's log.
vestal sierra
There are 43 shows that did get updated overlays according to this log:
rich musk
My mistake. It looks like those blocks are, in fact, in the overlay file.
I'm wondering if they'd show back up if the background color was slightly changed. I've had to do that on very very rare occasions
