Recommended Text Editors

We highly recommend to use a decent editor software to manage Kometa's .yml files.

Standard text editors (such as Notepad and TextEdit) often save text in a rich-text format which can result in text formatted in a way that Kometa cannot read. But not only that, they also make it very hard to visually distinguish the formatting, such as indentation.
Kometa requires indents to always be multiples of 2 spaces, and not TAB stops. If you have one space too much, or too few, it is very hard to notice that with a editor like Notepad.
An editor that is more focused on editing code instead of text will automatically detect the .YML fileformat and adjust things to make it easier to work. They can also try to detect possible errors even before you actually run the .yml in Kometa.

This can save a lot of time and headaches.

Preferred:
Visual Studio Code (Windows/Mac/Linux, Opensource & Free) Website
Additionally, install the indent-rainbow by oderwat extension and the YAML by Red Hat extension and leverage our schema.json file by adding this to the top of your config.yml file: # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kometa-Team/Kometa/nightly/json-schema/config-schema.json

Other options:
Notepad++ (Windows only, Opensource & Free)
Website

Sublime Text (Windows/Mac/Linux, Paid)
Website

For further details and a short list of highly recommended extensions, you can also take a look here.

Here is an example of how Visual Studio Code works with indent-rainbow plugin and using our Kometa schema (Click on image to get a better view):

Thanks for using Kometa

thanks, so is it just formatting?

1 | Config Warning: Path does not exist: /config/assets error exists because that directory doesn't exist

# 
libraries:
  Movies Test:
    template_variables:
      use_separator: false
    collection_files:
     - file: netflix top.yml``` the above has bad spacing
# 
  TV Shows Test:
    template_variables:
      use_separator: false
    collection_files:``` this is going to do nothing but throw errors because you have `collection_files:` and nothing there.  and in both of them, you have `use_separator: false`, but are not using anything that has separators

Have you seen the tool work, perhaps with one of the defaults, before attempting the custom collection?

There is a walkthrough that will take you through an example of the thing you are trying to do.

Your playlist_files section doesn't refer to any playlist YAML files:

playlist_files:
  template_variables:
    libraries:
    - Movies Test
    - TV Shows Test

Kometa considers this a critical error and stops when it sees it:

[CRITICAL] | Config Error: No Paths Found for playlist_files

You will need to fix that before Kometa will run.

These are just warnings:

| Config Warning: Path does not exist: /config/assets
| Config Warning: No Paths exist using None as default

Calling attention to the fact that this directory you are using doesn't exist.

Once you fix the critical error above, this:

    mdblist_list: https://mdblist.com/lists/straystraystray/netflix-top-10-movies

is going to fail because you have not entered an MDBList API Key:

| mdblist attribute not found
