The [develop](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/tree/develop) branch has the most updated **documented** fixes and enhancements to Plex Meta Manager. This version is tested and documented to some degree, but it is still an active development branch, so there may be rough edges.

* If you have a metadata configuration query please post in the [Discussions](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/discussions).
The `metadata_path` attribute is used to define [Metadata Files](../metadata/metadata) by specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See [Path Types](paths) for how to define them.
```yaml
libraries:
TV Shows:
metadata_path:
- file: config/TV Shows.yml
- git: meisnate12/ShowCharts
- git: meisnate12/Networks
```
By default, when `metadata_path` is missing the script will look within the root PMM directory for a metadata file called `<MAPPING_NAME>.yml`. In this example, Plex Meta Manager will look for a file named `TV Shows.yml`.

Plex Meta Manager can automatically update items in Plex [Movie](metadata/movie), [Show](metadata/movie), and [Music](metadata/movie) Libraries based on what's defined within the `metadata` attribute.
Each metadata requires its own section within the `metadata` attribute. Each item is defined by the mapping name which must be the same as the item name in the library unless an `alt_title` is specified.
