#Some errors and clarifications for initial Kometa runs.

Hello, I've recently begun running kometa on my library.

I've initially created the config via Quickstart and then did some edits (like the position of the overlays). I'm experiencing a few issues:

  1. The Collections Separators are not being created. (second image)
    In the log I can see that it says "Minimum 2 Not Met" and I suppose that is related to the "minimum_items: 2" in the setting.
    Searching this Discord it seems that editing this to 1 solves the issue but I want the collections to be created with only 2+ items, is there a way to exlude the separators?

  2. The Posters for the Italian libraries are in English. (third image)
    I already have "language: it" in the library section but maybe this is related to the TMDB settings of language and region? Do I need / can I have a different TMDB setting for certain libraries?

  3. I have some movies with alternative versions (Black and White usually but others too). (first image)
    How can I "lock" the poster to a manually chosen one that matches the alternative version?
    Can I do the same for a normal movie if a want a specific poster for one? The movies that kometa gets are generally better than what Plex provides but sometimes i want a different one.

  4. I have a lot of error for missing genre posters, maybe I should ignore them since they are kinda weird and If i need to I can just use the genres tab in Plex?
    If I wanted to use them whould I need to manually create an image for each one?

  5. I have a long list of "AniDB Error: No Anime Found for AniDB ID: xxx" (ex. 14648). The AniDB ID seems correct manually going to the website. Going back to Quickstart and validating AniDB again it says "Error: You have been banned(likely for 24 hours)". Should there be a ratelimit? Maybe I can remove some of the less useful "mass_xx_update"

  6. Some of the letterboxd list are failing to parse. Like "https://letterboxd.com/matthew/list/box-office-mojo-all-time-worldwide"

sorry for the big list of errors :/

you appear to have a few timeout errors

#

some other issues where you were trying to do something with playlists and then plex returned a 503 that maintenance was happening?

  1. The Collections Separators are not being created. (second image)

You may be able to get around this by removing the placeholder ID so the collection is flagged as blank, which shouldn't hit the minimum.

    I already have "language: it" in the library section but maybe this is related to the TMDB settings of language and region? Do I need / can I have a different TMDB setting for certain libraries?

You're mass resetting the posters to whatever TMDB returns, and you have TMDB set to:

tmdb:
  apikey: (redacted)
  cache_expiration: 60
  language: en
  region: US

Perhaps changing these will affect which poster TMDB provides.

The language template variable at the library level has nothing to do with the TMDB connection:

Kometa only gets posters from where you tell it to as part of the mass update, and aside from that will not change artwork on its own.

If you want to set a particular poster for an item you can use either the asset directory:
https://kometa.wiki/en/nightly/kometa/guides/assets/

or a metadata file:

Kometa has a lot of default genre posters, but anyone can enter anything as a genre, so Kometa will likely never have a poster for every imaginable genre.

It's up to you how you decide to handle that.

If you want posters for oddball genres, yes, you can create them yourself or request them.

All APIs have rate limits. Some higher than others, paid vs free, etc.

You could do a run with --log-requests to see what got sent to AniDB and what came back for each of those.

Updating everything in every library takes time and resources; only you can decide if the resources required are worth it.

ah I see now, then this in the main yml under the movie library

metadata_files: - file: config/my-neat-metadata.yml

You may need two config files, but you don't need two instances.

final dew
#

I'm unsure on how to do that, can i specify multiple "KOMETA_CONFIG" variables in the container? or just separating them by a comma?

vital stag
#

You can't specify multiple config files for a single run.

If you are running this in persistent docker containers, then sure, you would need two containers, one set to use each config file.

If you are running using docker run, or outside docker, you can specify the config file at the command line.

I'm on unraid with a persistent docker container. I'll just run two of them. it see easyer

Thanks for all the help Mr Carrot. I'll close this help request. I've learned a lot, i'll try to edit my settings a bit.
