* You can specify an Image Asset Directory per Metadata/Playlist/Overlay File when calling the file. See [Path Types](../../config/paths.md#asset-directory) for how to define them.
* By default [if no `asset_directory` is specified], the program will look in the same folder as your `config.yml` for a folder called `assets`.
* If you want to silence the `Asset Warning: No poster or background found in an assets folder for 'TITLE'` you can use the [`show_missing_assets` Setting Attribute](../../config/settings.md#show-missing-assets):
```yaml
settings:
show_missing_assets: false
```
## Asset Naming
The table below shows the asset folder path structures that will be searched for. There are two options for how Plex Meta Manager looks at the files inside your Asset Directories. Choose an option with the [`asset_folders` Setting Attribute](../../config/settings.md#image-asset-folders).
| Image Type | Image Path With Folders<br>`asset_folders: true` | Image Path Without Folder<br>`asset_folders: false` |
* For **Collections** replace `ASSET_NAME` with the mapping name used with the collection unless `system_name` is specified, which you would then use what's specified in `system_name`.
* For **Movies** replace `ASSET_NAME` with the exact name of the folder the video file is stored in.
* i.e. if you have `Movies/Star Wars (1977)/Star Wars (1977) [1080p].mp4` then your asset directory would look at either `assets/Star Wars (1977)/poster.png` or `assets/Star Wars (1977).png` for the poster.
* For **Shows**, **Seasons**, and **Episodes** replace `ASSET_NAME` with the exact name of the folder for the show as a whole.
* i.e. if you have `Shows/Game of Thrones/Season 1/Game of Thrones - S01E01.mp4` then your asset directory would look at either `assets/Game of Thrones/poster.png` or `assets/Game of Thrones.png` for the poster.
* For **Seasons** replace `##` with the zero padded season number (00 for specials)
* For **Episodes** replacing the first `##` with the zero padded season number (00 for specials), the second `##` with the zero padded episode number
* Replace `.ext` with the image extension
* When `asset_folders` is set to true you can also nest movie/show folders inside other folders, but you must specify how deep you want to search because the more levels to search the longer it takes.
* You can specify how deep you want to scan by using the [`asset_depth` Setting Attribute](../../config/settings.md#asset-depth).
Here's an example config folder structure with an assets directory with `asset_folders` set to true and false.
