I’m looking to create a collection using plex_search for a keyword in an episode title. I used the following but it didn’t return any results.

A Very Special TV Christmas 2:   
plex_search:
      all:
        episode_title: Xmas

I got this error in the logs: Failed("Plex Error: No Items found in Plex")

Providing Log Files

1: Go to your config folder

2: Go into the logs folder

3: Look for meta.log (not meta.1.log etc)

4: Drag it in the Discord thread - the whole thing, DO NOT EDIT IT

5: Still confused? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Log file too big? USE PASTEBIN or ZIP THE FILE

Thanks for using Kometa

that is probably a valid error; will need further context

Can you provide a full log and any custom YAML so we can see the error in context?

digital ruin
#

Thank you, will attach log

#

I did manually edit an episode title in Plex to use the keyword, so I know there is 1 item that should have been added

FWIW, this error is coming straight from Plex.

[ERROR]    | Plex Error: No Items found in Plex

Kometa sends a request to do the search, and Plex doesn't return anything. Kometa isn't sifting through a list of stuff from Plex.

Perhaps its a case thing and Plex doesn't like Xmas? I'm curious what the use case is here; are you planning to change the title of all the Christmas episodes? Why not use a list?

I have a list on Trakt, but it doesn’t pull some of my Christmas specials (e.g. Doctor Who) as I’m using the TVBD dvd order so that they are included in the season, rather than in specials.

I thought maybe if I added Xmas to the episode titles for just the few that aren’t pulling, I could get them added this way.

I'll run some tests on this in a few minutes

whisky-n-marshmallows.yml:

collections:
  bing in name:
    builder_level: episode
    plex_search:
      any:
        episode_title: bing
  bang in name:
    builder_level: episode
    plex_search:
      any:
        episode_title: bang

Thanks so much for looking into this. I appreciate your help.

#

I’ll keep playing around and see what I can do

#

Is there a way to search for episode sort title instead of title? It would be great if I could add a keyword into that where it isn’t as visible

minor rover
#

I'd maybe try a label first.

Might be worth sharing a screenshot from Plex of an item you're expecting the search to find.
