Hi,
I'm having difficulty getting the playlist to appear in Plex. I've attached the following:
What's happening essentially is i'm not seeing the Halloween playlist (with the trakt.tv lists) appear in Plex. I'm currently only seeing Plex's Halloween playlist. Im not entirely sure if its because both playlists are labeled "Halloween" so one is taking priority over the other, or if there's something wrong in my config file that needs to be corrected (most likely the cause).
Any and all guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for using Kometa

When you say "playlist" do you mean "collection"? Plex doesn't create any playlists on its own.
This file:
- file: /config/collections/halloween.yml # NEW: External Halloween collection
is not in the correct place, or it doesn't have the correct name:
|=================================================================================
| Loading Collection File File: /config/collections/halloween.yml
|=================================================================================
|
| File Error: File does not exist /config/collections/halloween.yml
| Collection File Failed To Load
Looks like it's the latter. 'Halloween' is not the same as 'halloween' for a case-sensitive file system.
You will want to ensure that the two collections have different names, however.

case sensitivity is important in yml your files

Not YAML, the filesystem. YAML doesn't care; the file system does.
bing@bang:~$ mkdir Gator && cd Gator && touch Halloween.yml
bing@bang:~/Gator$ ls
Halloween.yml
bing@bang:~/Gator$ cat halloween.yml
cat: halloween.yml: No such file or directory
bing@bang:~/Gator$
Apologies for the improper terminology, but yes im referring specifically to the collection. I've attached a screenshot of what I currently see in Plex. There's an existing collection (which presumably is based on my current config file), and im not seeing what I've tried to add using Trakt. I've attached a new meta log. Sorry to throw a wrench in you guys' Sunday.

You cant have 2 collections of the same name

Alright, thank you for both confirming and clearing that up. At the risk of going outside the scope of my support request, could I ask for advice in terms of best practices in this particular scenario? Looking at my config file Im instructing Kometa to put seasonal collections together based on the holidays. Would it be ideal to rename those collections (e.g Halloween would be something like Plexoween), then have my primary collection have the ordinary name (e.g Halloween). Or would you recommend I leave that alone and just change the name of the custom collection to something custom (e.g Plexoween).
Apologies for the word vomit

I’m not sure your use case. Why do you want two different Halloween collections? Why not add your custom lists to the existing default collections

I’m not sure your use case. Why do you want two different Halloween collections?...
I dont. I would prefer that my custom collection override the default Halloween Kometa collection but I hadnt even gotten to that point yet. However I'd only want to override the Halloween and Christmas collections, whatever else Kometa comes up with i'd like to let it do its thing

So either turn off the Halloween / Christmas defaults and use your own custom. OR replace what’s in those lists with your own. All can be down with variables
Personally, I’d recommend just replacing the exiting lists with your own by using template_variables and still using the rest of the default setup

All the default seasonal collections are based on lists or searches. If you don't like those default lists or searches, you can add to or replace them via template variables.
If you don't like their names, you can modify those. You can disable the ones you don't care about or want. Etc. All with template variables.

Is there a guide somewhere that shows how to use the variables?
charred goblet
Does this look right? More specifically line 25 is where it starts
Seems fine; no need for those two schedule_* lines since you are setting them to the default date ranges.

Could you guys take a look at this? I added the variables (based on the config I sent previously) but the default collection is still appearing
manic hollow
that exact collection has this error Collection Error: trakt_list requires Trakt to be configured
and is the reason why that collection was not modified and appears to “still be the defaults”
charred goblet
You need to complete the Trakt configuration. Simplest would be to use the form in the wiki.
