# Dynamic Collections
Plex Meta Manager can dynamically create collections based on different criteria, such as
* Collections based on the Collections from TMDb for every item in the library. ([Star Wars](https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/10-star-wars-collection), [Harry Potter](https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/1241), etc...)
* Collections based on each of a Users Trakt Lists
* Collections for the top `X` popular people on TMDb (Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks, etc...)
* Collections for each decade represented in the library (Best of 1990s, Best of 2000s, etc...)
* Collections for each of the moods/styles within a Music library (A Cappella, Pop Rock, etc...)
The main purpose of dynamic collections is to automate the creation of collections which would otherwise require considerable user input and repetition (such as creating a collection for every genre).
Each dynamic collection must have a mapping name (just like standard collections), which is also attached to the collection as a label to mark it as having been created by this dynamic collection.
This example will create a collection for every TMDb Collection associated with items in the library.
```yaml
dynamic_collections:
TMDb Collections: # This name is the mapping name
type: tmdb_collection
remove_suffix: "Collection"
```
## Collection Naming
By default, the collections generated will be named for the thing being used to create them; things like genres, countries, actors or even Trakt List Names.
There are many attributes that can change the titles, including `title_format`, `remove_suffix`, `remove_prefix`, `key_name_override`, and `title_override` all detailed below.
## Dynamic Keys & Key Names
A `dynamic key` or `key` for short is used to refer to a specific value/result from the dynamic collection criteria that will be used to create the collection.
A `key_name` is the name that replaces `<<key_name>>` in `title_format` to create the collection titles for each key.
An example of some keys and their names that would be generated from a `tmdb_collection` dynamic collection are
* `key`: "10"
* `key_name`: Star Wars Collection
* `key`: "1241"
* `key_name`: Harry Potter Collection
### Example Key Usage
Keys can be used for a number of purposes, examples can be found throughout this page. A few examples are shown below:
* Excluding the "Horror" key from the `Genre` dynamic collection definition
```yaml
dynamic_collections:
Genres: # mapping name does not matter, just needs to be unique
type: genre
exclude:
- Horror
```
* Using the `key_name_override` attribute to change the formatting of "France" to "French" so that a collection can be named "French Cinema" instead of simply "France"
* This particular example also uses the `title_format` attribute to manipulate the naming convention of the collections.
```yaml
dynamic_collections:
Countries: # mapping name does not matter, just needs to be unique
type: country
title_format: <<key_name>> Cinema
key_name_override:
France: French
```
* Using the `addons` attribute to combine multiple `keys`, i.e. merging "MTV2", "MTV3" and "MTV (UK)" into one "MTV" collection.
* When doing this, individual collections will not be created for the individual MTV collections, instead they will be merged within the "MTV" collection.
```yaml
dynamic_collections:
networks:
type: network
addons:
MTV:
- MTV2
- MTV3
- MTV (UK)
```

To use a template with a collection definition you use the `template` attribute. The only required attribute under `template` is `name` which must correspond exactly to the template mapping name. Any other attributes under `template` are considered template variables whose names correspond exactly with the template variable name surrounded by `<<` and `>>` in the templates. These template variables will replace any part of any value that contains the template variable name surrounded by `<<` and `>>` in the template with the specified template variable's value.

# Collection Files
Collection Files holds information on how Plex Meta Manager should create collections. There are a large number of builders available to build collections,
## Overview
This is a basic Collections File which contains the structure to build a collection called "Top 50 Grossing Films of All Time (Worldwide)"
The collection order is set to be the same as is received from the source list, and items added/removed from the source list will be added/removed from the collection in the Plex library.
???+ example "Example "MyCollections.yml""
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
collections: #(1)!
Top 50 Grossing Films of All Time (Worldwide):
tmdb_list: 10 #(2)!
collection_order: custom #(3)!
sync_mode: sync #(4)!
```
1. This must appear once and **only once** in any Metadata file
2. This creates a collection based on tmdb list ID 10, https://www.themoviedb.org/list/10 would also be accepted
3. This will sort the items in the Plex collection to be the same as the order in the list
4. Syncs the collection to the list, so that if an item is added/removed from the list, the same is done to the collection. Set this to `append` if you only want it to add things and not remove them.
For the purpose of this example, we are going to save the File as `MyCollections.yml` within the location mapped as `config` in our setup.
I then call "MyCollections.yml" in my [Configuration File](../configuration.md) within the `collection_files` section
???+ example "config.yml Example Collection File Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
libraries:
Movies: #(1)!
collection_files:
- file: config/MyCollections.yml #(2)!
```
1. This must match the name of a library in your Plex server
2. `config` refers to the location that you mapped to `config` when following the PMM Installation Guides.
Whenever I execute Plex Meta Manager and the Movies library is run, MyCollections.yml will run and my "Top 50 Grossing Films of All Time (Worldwide)" will be created/updated.
## File Attributes
Collection Files can utilize the following top-level attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`templates`](../../builders/templates.md) | contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple collections |
| [`external_templates`](../../builders/templates.md#external-templates) | contains [path types](../paths.md) that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple collections |
| [`collections`](#collection-attributes) | contains definitions of collections you wish to add to one or more libraries |
| [`dynamic_collections`](#dynamic-collection-attributes) | contains definitions of [dynamic collections](../../builders/dynamic.md) you wish to create |
* One of `metadata`, `collections` or `dynamic_collections` must be present for the File to run, else you will receive an error when trying to run the file against your library.
* Example Files can be found in the [Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM)
## Collection Operations & Attributes
Whilst [Library Operations](../operations.md) are used to control library-wide operations, Collection Files can be used as a method to perform more limited operations, such as:
* Syncing collections with the source list if one is used (such as Trakt Lists, TMDB Lists, etc.)
* Sending missing media to Sonarr/Radarr
* Adding labels to items in collections
* Showing and Hiding collections at set intervals (i.e. show Christmas collections in December only)
These operations can be performed without the need to physically build a collection (using the `build_collection: false` attribute)
Examples of these can be seen here

=== "Example 1 - Sync Collection to List"
```yaml
collections:
Christmas Extravaganza:
trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/plexmetamanager/lists/christmas-extravaganza-non-tv-movie #(1)!
sync_mode: append #(2!)
collection_order: custom #(3)!
```
1. This is a Trakt List builder, telling PMM to build a collection based on the items in this list
1. If items are removed from the source list, having sync mode set to `append` means they will not be removed from the collection in Plex. Set this to `sync` if you want the items removed in the collection too
3. Sort the collection in the order that it is received from the Trakt list
=== "Example 2 - Send to Arr"
```yaml
collections:
IMDb Top 250:
imdb_chart: top_movies
collection_order: custom #(1)!
radarr_add_missing: true #(2)!
```
1. Sorts the collection in the same order as is received by the source list
2. Sends items that are in the source list but are not in your Plex library to Radarr. Replace with `sonarr_add_missing` for any show-based builder.
=== "Example 3 - Add labels"
```yaml
collections:
Radarr Tags:
build_collection: false #(1)!
radarr_taglist: mytag #(2)!
item_label: myplextag #(3)!
```
1. Tells PMM to not physically build a collection, but it will still perform the actions of the collection
2. Find all items in Radarr that have the tag `mytag`
3. For each of the items with `mytag` in Radarr, apply the `myplextag` to the items in the Plex library
=== "Example 4 - Schedule Collection"
```yaml
collections:
Christmas Extravaganza:
trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/plexmetamanager/lists/christmas-extravaganza-non-tv-movie #(1)!
schedule: range(12/01-12/31) #(2)!
delete_not_scheduled: true #(3)!
```
1. Tells PMM to not physically build a collection, but it will still perform the actions of the collection
2. Only run this collection from December 1st through December 31st
3. If today is not part of the above scheduled range, delete the Christmas Extravaganza collection if it exists in the Plex library
There are multiple types of attributes that can be utilized within a collection:
* [Builders](../../builders/overview.md)
* [Settings/Updates](../../metadata/update.md)
* [Filters](../../builders/filters.md)
## Example File
Below is a common Collection File which will create two collections in a Plex library.
It will sync the collections to the source lists, order them randomly, and apply a summary to the collection.
```yaml
collections:
Trending:
trakt_trending: 10
tmdb_trending_daily: 10
tmdb_trending_weekly: 10
sort_title: +1_Trending
sync_mode: sync
smart_label: random
summary: Movies Trending across the internet
Popular:
tmdb_popular: 40
imdb_list:
url: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,tv_movie,documentary,short
limit: 40
sort_title: +2_Popular
sync_mode: sync
smart_label: random
summary: Popular Movies across the internet
```
## Dynamic Collections
In addition to manually defining each Collection that you want in your library, Plex Meta Manager can also dynamically create collections based on a variety of different criteria, such as
* Collections for the top `X` popular people on TMDb (Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks etc.)
* Collections for each decade represented in the library (Best of 1990s, Best of 2000s etc.)
* Collections for each of the moods/styles within a Music library (A Cappella, Pop Rock etc.)
* Collections for each of a Trakt Users Lists.
A full list of the available options is available on the [Dynamic Collections](../../builders/dynamic.md) page

# Movie Library Metadata
You can have the script edit the metadata of Movies by adding them to the `metadata` mapping of a Metadata File.
An example of multiple metadata edits in a movie library is below:
```yaml

```
## Matching Movies
The `match` attribute is used to match movies within Plex to that definition within the Metadata file. One definition can match and edit multiple movies. The available matching options are outlined below.
| Attribute | Description |
|:-------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `title`<sup>1</sup> | Only matches movies that exactly match the movie's Title. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
| `year` | Only matches movies that were released in the given year. |
| `mapping_id`<sup>2</sup> | Only matches movies that have the given TMDb or IMDb ID. |
| `edition`<sup>3</sup> | Only matches movies that exactly match the movie's Edition. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
| `edition_contains`<sup>3</sup> | Only matches movies where the movie's Edition contains the given string. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
| `blank_edition`<sup>3</sup> | Only matches movies that have no Edition.<br>**Default:** `false`<br>**Values:** `true` or `false` |
1. When `title` is not provided and the mapping name was not specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as `title` for matching.
2. When `mapping_id` is not provided and the mapping name was specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as `mapping_id` for matching.
3. When the server does not have a Plex Pass then the Edition Field is not accessible. In this scenario, PMM will check the movie's filepath for `{edition-...}` to determine what the edition is.
### Examples
Below are some examples on how movies can be matched.
#### Example 1 - `title` and `mapping_id`
The below example shows how `title` and `mapping_id` can be used to match movies.
```yaml
metadata:
movie1: # Matches via the title "Star Wars"
match:
title: Star Wars
edits...
movie2: # Matches via TMDb ID: 299534
match:
mapping_id: 299534
edits...
movie3: # Matches via IMDb ID: tt4154756
match:
mapping_id: tt4154756
edits...
movie4: # Matches via the title "9"
match:
title: 9
edits...
```
The Mapping Name can also be used to reduce line-count, as shown here:
```yaml
metadata:
Star Wars: # Matches via the title "Star Wars"
edits...
299534: # Matches via TMDb ID: 299534
edits...
tt4154756: # Matches via IMDb ID: tt4154756
edits...
"9": # Matches via the title "9"
edits...
```
**Note:** to search for a movie titled with a number from the mapping name you must surround the number in quotes like in the example below. Otherwise, it will look for the movie associated with that TMDb ID.
#### Example 2 - `title` and `year`
The below example shows how `title` and `year` can be used to match movies.
In this example, there are two movies in the library called "Godzilla", so the `year` attribute is used to identify which movie is being matched.
```yaml
metadata:
Godzilla (1954): # Matches via the title "Godzilla" released in 1954
match:
title: Godzilla
year: 1954
edits...
Godzilla (1998): # Matches via the title "Godzilla" released in 1998
match:
title: Godzilla
year: 1998
edits...
```
#### Example 3 - using `editions`
The edition attributes can be used to further specify which version of a movie should be matched within Plex.
This can be combined with Example 1 as follows
```yaml
metadata:
movie1: # Matches via the title "Star Wars" and edition containing "4K77"
match:
title: Star Wars
edition_contains: 4K77
edits...
```
If you wanted to specify the version of Star Wars which does not have an edition, then the `blank_edition` attribute can be used as shown below:
```yaml
metadata:
movie1: # Matches via the title "Star Wars" and checks for no edition version
match:
title: Star Wars
blank_edition: true
edits...
```
## Metadata Edits
The available attributes for editing movies are as follows
### Special Attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|:-----------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `tmdb_show` | TMDb Show ID to use for metadata. Used when the Movie in your library is actually a miniseries on TMDb. (Example: [Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/56295) or [IT](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/19614)) **This is not used to say this movie is the given ID.** |
| `run_definition` | Used to specify if this definition runs.<br>Multiple can be used for one definition as a list or comma separated string. One `false` or unmatched library type will cause it to fail.<br>**Values:** `movie`, `show`, `artist`, `true`, `false` |
1. If the server does not have a Plex Pass then the Edition Field is not accessible. In this case PMM will check the movies filepath for `{edition-MOVIES EDITION}` to determine what the edition is.

# Music Library Metadata
You can have the script edit the metadata of Artists, Albums, and Tracks by adding them to the `metadata` mapping of a Metadata File.
An example of multiple metadata edits in a music library is below:
```yaml
metadata:
"Linkin Park":
country: "United States of America"
album_sorting: newest
albums:
"Hybrid Theory":
originally_available: "2000-10-24"
tracks:
1:
user_rating: 5
"One Step Closer":
user_rating: 5
"Meteora":
originally_available: "2003-03-25"
album_sorting: newest
tracks:
9:
user_rating: 5
"Numb":
user_rating: 5
"Minutes To Midnight":
originally_available: "2007-05-14"
```
## Matching Artist
The `match` attribute is used to match artists within Plex to that definition within the Metadata file. One definition can match and edit multiple artists. The available matching options are outlined below.
| Attribute | Allowed Values |
|:-------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `title`<sup>1</sup> | Only matches artists that exactly match the artist's Title. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
1. When `title` is not provided and the mapping name was not specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as `title` for matching.
### Examples
Below are some examples on how artists can be matched.
#### Example 1 - `title`
The below example shows how `title` can be used to match artists.
```yaml
metadata:
artist1: # Matches via the title "Ke$ha"
match:
title: Ke$ha
edits...
artist2: # Matches via the title "311"
match:
title: 311
edits...
```
The Mapping Name can also be used to reduce line-count, as shown here:
```yaml
metadata:
Ke$ha: # Matches via the Name "Ke$ha"
edits...
"311": # Matches via the Name "311"
edits...
```
## Metadata Edits
The available attributes for editing artists, albums, and tracks are as follows
### Special Attributes
| Attribute | Values | Artists | Album | Tracks |
|:------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|
| `albums` | Attribute used to edit album metadata. The mapping name is the album name. | :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } | :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red } | :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red } |
| `tracks` | Attribute used to edit track metadata. The mapping name is the track number on that Album, or the title of the Track. | :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red } | :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } | :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red } |
* If you know of another Title your item might exist under, but you want it titled differently you can use `alt_title` to specify another title to look under and then be changed to the mapping name. For Example the Artist `Kesha` used to be stylized as `Ke$ha`, and might still be found that way in Metadata results.
```yaml
metadata:
"Kesha":
alt_title: "Ke$ha"
```
This would change the name of the default `Ke$ha` to `Kesha` and would not mess up any subsequent runs.

# TV Show Library Metadata
You can have the script edit the metadata of Shows, Seasons, and Episodes by adding them to the `metadata` mapping of a Metadata File.
An example of multiple metadata edits in a show library is below:
```yaml
metadata:
"Avatar: The Last Airbender":
sort_title: Avatar 01
seasons:
1:
title: "Book One: Water"
summary: >-
After a lapse of 100 years, the Avatar-spiritual master of the elements-has returned. And just in
the nick of time. The Four Nations (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air) have become unbalanced. The Fire
Nation wants to rule the world, and its first conquest will be the Northern Water Tribe. It's up to
a 12-year-old Airbender named Aang to find a way to stop it. Join Aang, Katara, Sokka, Momo, and
Appa as they head north on the adventure of a lifetime.
episodes:
1:
user_rating: 9.1
2:
title: "Book Two: Earth"
summary: >-
Avatar Aang continues his quest to master the four elements before the end of summer. Together with
Katara, Sokka, Momo, and Appa, he journeys across the Earth Kingdom in search of an Earthbending
mentor. Along the way, he confronts Princess Azula, treacherous daughter of Firelord Ozai and
sister to Prince Zuko. More powerful than her brother, Azula will stop nothing to defeat the Avatar.
But Aang and the gang find plenty of Earth Kingdom allies to help them along the way. From the swamps
of the South to the Earth King's palace, Avatar: Book 2 is an adventure like no other.
3:
title: "Book Three: Fire"
summary: >-
Having survived the terrible battle with Azula, Aang faces new challenges as he and his brave
friends secretly enter the Fire Nation. Their quest is to find and defeat Firelord Ozai. Along
the way, they discover that Ozai has plans of his own. The leader of the Fire Nation intends to
use the massive power of Sozin's comet to spread his dominion permanently across the four nations.
Short on time, Aang has a lot of bending to learn and no master to help him learn it. However, his
friends are there to help, and he finds unexpected allies deep in the heart of the Fire Nation. In
the spectacular four-part conclusion, Aang must fulfill his destiny and become a fully realized
Avatar, or watch the world go up in smoke.

2:
title: "Book Two: Spirits"
3:
title: "Book Three: Change"
4:
title: "Book Four: Balance"
```
## Matching Shows
The `match` attribute is used to match shows within Plex to that definition within the Metadata file. One definition can match and edit multiple shows. The available matching options are outlined below.
| Attribute | Allowed Values |
|:-------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `title`<sup>1</sup> | Only matches shows that exactly match the show's Title. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
| `year` | Only matches shows that were released in the given year. |
| `mapping_id`<sup>2</sup> | Only matches shows that have the given TVDb or IMDb ID. |
1. When `title` is not provided and the mapping name was not specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as `title` for matching.
2. When `mapping_id` is not provided and the mapping name was specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as `mapping_id` for matching.
### Examples
Below are some examples on how shows can be matched.
#### Example 1 - `title` and `mapping_id`
The below example shows how `title` and `mapping_id` can be used to match shows.
```yaml
metadata:
show1: # Matches via the title "Game of Thrones"
match:
title: Game of Thrones
edits...
show2: # Matches via TVDb ID: 366524
match:
mapping_id: 366524
edits...
show3: # Matches via IMDb ID: tt10234724
match:
mapping_id: tt10234724
edits...
show4: # Matches via the title "24"
match:
title: 24
edits...
```
The Mapping Name can also be used to reduce line-count, as shown here:
```yaml
metadata:
Game of Thrones: # Matches via the Name "Game of Thrones"
edits...
366524: # Matches via TVDb ID: 366524
edits...
tt10234724: # Matches via IMDb ID: tt10234724
edits...
"24": # Matches via the Name "24"
edits...
```
**Note:** to search for a show titled with a number from the mapping name you must surround the number in quotes like in the example below. Otherwise, it will look for the show associated with that TVDb ID.
#### Example 2 - `title` and `year`
The below example shows how `title` and `year` can be used to match shows.
In this example, there are two shows in the library called "Vikings", so the `year` attribute is used to identify which show is being matched.
```yaml
metadata:
Vikings (2012): # Matches via the title "Vikings" released in 2012
match:
title: Vikings
year: 2012
edits...
Vikings (2013): # Matches via the title "Vikings" released in 2013
match:
title: Vikings
year: 2013
edits...
```
## Metadata Edits
The available attributes for editing shows, seasons, and episodes are as follows
### Special Attributes
| Attribute | Description | Shows | Seasons | Episodes |

# Overlay Files
Overlay Files holds information on how Plex Meta Manager should create Overlays. There are a large number of builders available to build Overlays,
## Overview
This example is an Overlay file with a basic overlay which is saved in a file called `MyOverlays.yml` within the location mapped as `config` in my setup.
This specific example will target items in my library with a 4K resolution and will add an overlay with text that says "Direct Play" located at the bottom of the poster in the center.
???+ tip "Example Overlay"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
overlays: #(1)!
directplay:
overlay:
name: text(Direct Play) #(2)!
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 150
vertical_align: bottom
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_padding: 30
plex_search: #(3)!
all:
resolution: 4K
```
1. This must appear once and **only once** in any Overlay file
2. This tells PMM to use text as the overlay rather than an image
3. This is the criteria that PMM will use to define what should receive the overlay
Here is an example of how the Overlay will look
![myoverlays_example.png](myoverlays_example.png)
For the purpose of this example, we are going to save the File as `MyOverlays.yml` within the location mapped as `config` in our setup.
I then call "MyOverlays.yml" in my [Configuration File](../configuration.md) within the `Overlay_files` section
???+ example "config.yml Example Overlay File Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
libraries:
Movies: #(1)!
overlay_files:
- remove_overlays: false
- file: config/MyOverlays.yml #(2)!
```
1. This must match the name of a library in your Plex server
2. `config` refers to the location that you mapped to `config` when following the PMM Installation Guides.
???+ example "config.yml Example Collection File Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
libraries:
Movies: #(1)!
Overlay_files:
- file: config/MyOverlays.yml #(2)!
```
1. This must match the name of a library in your Plex server
2. `config` refers to the location that you mapped to `config` when following the PMM Installation Guides.
Whenever I execute Plex Meta Manager and the Movies library is run, MyOverlays.yml will run and my "Direct Play" overlay will appear on all items with a 4K resolution.
## File Attributes
Overlay Files can utilize the following top-level attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`templates`](../../builders/templates.md) | contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple Overlays |
| [`external_templates`](../../builders/templates.md#external-templates) | contains [path types](../paths.md) that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple Overlays |
| [`overlays`](#overlay-attributes) | contains definitions of Overlays you wish to add to one or more libraries |
* Example Files can be found in the [Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM)
## Overlay Understandings
???+ danger "Important Notes"
When using overlays, there is some knowledge that you should be aware of at all times. This is outlined below.
Failure to understand all of these points may cause issues when utilizing Overlays.
All overlay coordinates assume 1000 x 1500 for Posters and 1920 x 1080 for Backgrounds and Title Cards.
All overlays should be in a format that is supports transparency should it be required (i.e. PNG)
If an overlay is not 1000 x 1500 or 1920 x 1080 in size, you will need to use positional attributes to specify where on the base poster the Overlay should be. This is exampled in [Overview](#overview)
Although Overlays are modular in that you can pick and choose what you would like to apply, each overlay you want to apply **must** be executed in the same Plex Meta Manager run and should not be scheduled, this will result in overlays that are not scheduled to run being deleted.
* For example, you cannot schedule a "4K Resolution" overlay to only apply on a Monday and a "Direct Play" overlay to only apply on a Tuesday. This will not work, both overlays must be scheduled to run at the same time.
Plex Meta Manager and Plex **will not** remove old Overlaid images from the Plex file structure or database when new updates are available. On large libraries, this can often result in Image Bloat.
* We recommend you read more about this and the solution on the [Plex Image Cleanup](../../pmm/essentials/scripts/image-cleanup.md) page.
There is an attribute called `reapply_overlays` which, when set to true, will force overlays to reapply even when it is not necessary to do so [overlays only update when something has changed, this bypasses that behaviour]. This will increase how long Plex Meta Manager takes to run and will also result in Image Bloat.
* Ensure `reapply_overlays` is set to `false` if you see it in your Configuration File. If it has previously been set to true we recommend using [Plex Image Cleanup](../../pmm/essentials/scripts/image-cleanup.md) to get rid of the bloat.
To remove all overlays from your library, add `remove_overlays: true` to the `overlay_files` [Libraries Attribute](../libraries.md#remove-overlays).**
* See the above note on Plex Meta Manager not removing the overlaid images, this is still true here.
???+ danger "Important Notice"
Once you have applied overlays to your posters in Plex, it is highly recommended that you never change artwork on a thing directly in Plex again. PMM uses labels on the items in Plex to decide if an overlay has been applied, so if you change artwork behind PMM's back things can become confused and items can end up with double-overlaid posters. It's recommended to set new artwork using the asset directory, which will ensure that this doesn't happen.
**To change a single overlay original image either remove the `Overlay` shared label and update the Image in Plex or replace the image in the assets folder and then PMM will overlay the new image**
## Overlay Attributes
Overlay Files can utilize the following top-level attributes
| Attribute | Description |
|:--------------------------------------------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`templates`](../../builders/templates.md) | contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays |
| [`external_templates`](../../builders/templates.md#external-templates) | contains [path types](../paths.md) that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple overlays |
| [`queues`](#overlay-queues) | contains the positional attributes of queues |
| [`overlays`](#overlays-attributes) | contains definitions of overlays you wish to add |
* `overlays` is required in order to run the Overlay File.
* Example Overlay Files can be found in the [Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM)
There are multiple types of attributes that can be utilized within an overlay:
* [Builders](../../builders/overview.md)
* [Settings/Updates](../../metadata/update.md)
* [Filters](../../builders/filters.md)
## Example Files
Below is a common Overlay File which will create an Overlay for all items which have a 4K resolution.
To get you started, Plex Meta Manager includes three files for Overlays - 4K, Dolby and HDR.
```yaml
overlays:
4K:
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
```
![example_4k.png](example_4k.png)
I can then layer another Overlay for items which have HDR.
Plex Meta Manager will apply Overlays in the order they are defined in the file, so my HDR overlay appears on top of my 4K overlay in this scenario.
```yaml
overlays:
4K:
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
HDR:
plex_search:
all:
hdr: true
```
![example_4khdr.png](example_4khdr.png)

* If `url`, `git`, and `repo` are all not defined then PMM will look in your `config/overlays` folder for a `.png` file named the same as the `name` attribute.
### Positional Image Overlays
Positional overlays can be of any size and use `horizontal_offset`, `horizontal_align`, `vertical_offset`, and `vertical_align` to position the overlay on the image.
???+ tip
This overlay example uses one of the [PMM Default Overlay](../../defaults/overlays.md) images, which isn't necessary but is used just for this example.
```yaml
overlays:
IMDB-Top-250:
imdb_chart: top_movies
overlay:
name: IMDB-Top-250
pmm: ribbon/yellow/imdb.png
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: right
vertical_offset: 0
vertical_align: bottom
```
![example_positional.png](example_positional.png)
### Blurring Overlay
There is a special overlay named `blur` that when given as the overlay name will instead of finding the image will just blur the image instead.
You can control the level of the blur by providing a number with the attribute like so `blur(##)`.
```yaml
overlays:
blur:
overlay:
name: blur(50)
builder_level: episode
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
```
![](example_blur.png)
### Backdrop Overlay
There is a special overlay named `backdrop` that when given as the overlay name will instead of finding the image will just apply the background instead.
You can set the size of the backdrop with `back_width` and `back_height`. By Default, they will extend the length of the Image.
```yaml
overlays:
backdrop:
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
```
This example could be useful if you want to have a black banner, and then use a [Text Overlay](#text-overlay) to add text on top.
![example_backdrop.png](example_backdrop.png)
### Text Overlay
You can add text as an overlay using the special `text()` overlay name. Anything inside the parentheses will be added as an overlay onto the image. Ex `text(4K)` adds `4K` to the image.
You can control the font, font size and font color using the `font`, `font_size`, and `font_color` overlay attributes.
You can control the backdrop of the text using the various `back_*` attributes.
The `horizontal_offset` and `vertical_offset` overlay attributes are required when using Text Overlays.
PMM includes multiple fonts in the [`fonts` folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/tree/master/fonts) which can be called using `fonts/fontname.ttf`
```yaml
overlays:
backdrop:
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
mytext:
overlay:
name: text(This Movie Is Awesome)
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 30
vertical_align: top
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
plex_all: true
```
Note that we have built up on our backdrop overlay that we created in our previous example
![example_text.png](example_text.png)
#### Special Text Variables
You can use the item's metadata to determine the text by adding Special Text Variables to your text Overlay.
There are multiple Special Text Variables that can be used when formatting the text. The variables are defined like so `<<name>>` and some can have modifiers like so `<<name$>>` where `$` is the modifier. The available options are:
| Special Text Variables & Mods | Movies | Shows | Seasons | Episodes |
|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|:--------:|

???+ tip
You can use the `mass_audience_rating_update` or `mass_critic_rating_update` [Library Operation](../operations.md) to update your plex ratings to various services like `tmdb`, `imdb`, `mdb`, `metacritic`, `letterboxd` and many more.
```yaml
overlays:
backdrop:
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
mytext:
overlay:
name: text(Critic Rating is <<critic_rating>>)
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 20
vertical_align: top
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
plex_all: true
```
Note that we have once again built up on our backdrop overlay that we created in one of our previous examples
![example_text.png](example_specialtext.png)
#### Special Text Modifiers
Some Special Text attributes (such as ratings) have modifiers which control how they are output. This is detailed in the above table.
Using the above example for the Critic Rating overlay, I now want to display the rating as "out of 5 stars" instead of "out of 10", so I will use the `/` modifier on my `<<critic_rating>>` attribute
```yaml
overlays:
backdrop:
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
mytext:
overlay:
name: text(Rated <<critic_rating/>> out of 5!)
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 20
vertical_align: top
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
plex_all: true
```
![example_specialtextmodifier.png](example_specialtextmodifier.png)
I want to add `S##E##` to all my episode images.
```yaml
overlays:
backdrop:
builder_level: episode
overlay:
name: backdrop
back_color: "#00000099"
back_height: 100
vertical_position: top
plex_all: true
season_episode_info:
builder_level: episode
overlay:
name: text(This is S<<season_number0>>E<<episode_number0>>)
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 20
vertical_align: top
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
plex_all: true
```
![example_episodetext.png](example_episodetext.png)
##### Common Special Text Uses
These are some commonly-used examples of Special Text overlays:
| Special Text | Example Output |
|:------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|
| `name: text(S<<season_number0>>E<<episode_number0>>)` | S01E01 |
| `name: text(Season <<season_number>> Episode <<episode_number>>)` | Season 1 Episode 1 |
| `name: text(Season <<season_number>>)` | Season 1 |
| `name: text(Episode <<episode_number>>)` | Episode 1 |
| `name: "text(Runtime: <<runtime>>m)"` | Runtime: 90m |
| `name: "text(Runtime: <<runtimeH>>h <<runtimeM>>m)"` | Runtime: 1h 30m |
#### Text Addon Images
You can add an image to accompany the text by specifying the image location using `file`, `url`, `git`, or `repo`.
Use `addon_offset` to control the space between the text and the image.
Use `addon_position` to control which side of the text the image will be located on.
???+ tip
This overlay example uses one of the [PMM Default Overlay](../../defaults/overlays.md) images, which isn't necessary but is used just for this example.
```yaml
overlays:
rating_with_logo:
overlay:
name: text(audience_rating)
pmm: rating/IMDb.png
horizontal_offset: 15
horizontal_align: left
vertical_offset: 15
vertical_align: top
font: fonts/Inter-Medium.ttf
font_size: 63
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_width: 300
back_height: 105
addon_position: left
addon_offset: 25
plex_all: true
```
![example_addonoffset.png](example_addonoffset.png)
### Overlay Groups
Overlay groups are defined by the name given to the `group` attribute. Only one overlay with the highest weight per group will be applied.
This is an example where the Multi-Audio overlay will be applied over the Dual-Audio overlay for every item found by both.
```yaml
overlays:
Dual-Audio:
overlay:
name: Dual-Audio
pmm: images/Dual-Audio
group: audio_language
weight: 10
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 15
vertical_align: bottom
plex_all: true
filters:
audio_language.count_gt: 1
Multi-Audio:
overlay:
name: Multi-Audio
pmm: images/Multi-Audio
group: audio_language
weight: 20
horizontal_offset: 0
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 15
vertical_align: bottom
plex_all: true
filters:
audio_language.count_gt: 2
```
### Overlay Queues
Overlay queues are defined by the name given to the `queue` attribute. The overlay with the highest weight is put into the first queue position, then the second highest is placed in the second queue position and so on.
You can define the queue positions by using the `queues` attribute at the top level of an Overlay File. You can define as many positions as you want.
```yaml
queues:
custom_queue_name:
- horizontal_offset: 300 # This is the first position
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 1375
vertical_align: top
- horizontal_offset: 300 # This is the second position
horizontal_align: center
vertical_offset: 1250
vertical_align: top
overlays:
IMDb:
imdb_chart: popular_movies
overlay:
name: text(IMDb Popular)
queue: custom_queue_name
weight: 20
font: fonts/Inter-Medium.ttf
font_size: 65
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_width: 380
back_height: 105
TMDb:
tmdb_popular: 100
overlay:
name: text(TMDb Popular)
queue: custom_queue_name
weight: 10
font: fonts/Inter-Medium.ttf
font_size: 65
font_color: "#FFFFFF"
back_color: "#00000099"
back_radius: 30
back_width: 400
back_height: 105
```
## Suppress Overlays
You can add `suppress_overlays` to an overlay definition and give it a list or comma separated string of overlay names you want suppressed from this item if this overlay is attached to the item.
So in this example if the `4K-HDR` overlay matches an item then the `4K` and `HDR` overlays will also match. The `suppress_overlays` attribute on `4K-HDR` will stop the overlays specified (`4K` and `HDR`) from also being applied.
```yaml
overlays:
4K:
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
HDR:
plex_search:
all:
hdr: true
4K-HDR:
suppress_overlays:
- 4K
- HDR
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
hdr: true
```
## Examples
### Example Overlay File
```yaml
overlays:
4K:
overlay:
name: 4K # This will look for a local overlays/4K.png in your config folder
plex_search:
all:
resolution: 4K
HDR:
overlay:
name: HDR
pmm: HDR
plex_search:
all:
hdr: true
Dolby:
overlay:
name: Dolby
url: https://somewebsite.com/dolby_overlay.png
plex_all: true
filters:
has_dolby_vision: true
```

# Playlist Files
Playlist files are used to create and maintain playlists on the Plex Server.
If utilized to their fullest, these files can be used to maintain the entire server's collections and playlists, and can be used as a backup for these in the event of a restore requirement.
???+ tip
Playlists are defined in one or more Playlist files that are mapped in the [Playlist Files Attribute](../playlists.md) within the Configuration File.
You can use the [`playlist_report` setting](../settings.md#playlist-report) to get a list of your playlists printed out in your log.
## Example
This example is a Playlist file with a basic overlay which is saved in a file called `MyPlaylists.yml` within the location mapped as `config` in my setup.
???+ example "Example "MyPlaylists.yml""
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
collections: #(1)!
Top 50 Grossing Films of All Time (Worldwide):
tmdb_list: 10 #(2)!
collection_order: custom #(3)!
sync_mode: sync #(4)!
```
1. This must appear once and **only once** in any Metadata file
2. This creates a collection based on tmdb list ID 10, https://www.themoviedb.org/list/10 would also be accepted
3. This will sort the items in the Plex collection to be the same as the order in the list
4. Syncs the collection to the list, so that if an item is added/removed from the list, the same is done to the collection. Set this to `append` if you only want it to add things and not remove them.
???+ example "config.yml Example Collection File Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
playlists: #(1)!
Marvel Cinematic Universe Chronological Order:
sync_mode: sync
libraries: Movies, TV Shows #(2)!
sync_to_users: User1, someone@somewhere.com, User3 #(3)!
trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/donxy/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe
summary: Marvel Cinematic Universe In Chronological Order
```
1. This must appear once and **only once** in any Playlist file
2. These libraries must exist in your Plex library
3. Leave this blank if you only only want the Playlist to sync to the server owner's account
This file would then be defined in my `config.yml` file as a `playlist_files` item:
???+ warning "Important Note"
Playlist files are not called within the `libraries` section, they are defined at the root identation as you can see in the below example.
???+ example "config.yml Example Playlists Addition"
Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
# Metadata and Overlay files here
TV Shows:
# Metadata and Overlay files here
playlist_files: #(1)!
- file: config/MyPlaylists.yml #(2)!
```
1. Note that Playlist files are not called within the `libraries` section, they are defined at the root identation as you can see here
2. `config` refers to the location that you mapped to `config` when following the PMM Installation Guides.
## Playlist Attributes
Plex Meta Manager can automatically build and update playlists defined within the `playlists` attribute.
These are the attributes which can be utilized within the Playlist File:
| Attribute | Description |
|:--------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [`templates`](../../builders/templates.md) | contains definitions of templates that can be leveraged by multiple playlists |
| [`external_templates`](../../builders/templates.md#external-templates) | contains [path types](../paths.md) that point to external templates that can be leveraged by multiple playlists |
| [`playlists`](#playlist-attributes) | contains definitions of playlists you wish to add to the server |
* `playlists` is required in order to run the Playlist File.
* You can find example Playlist Files in the [Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM)
* Plex does not support the "Continue Watching" feature for playlists, you can [vote for the feature here](https://forums.plex.tv/t/playlists-remember-position-for-subsequent-resume/84866/39)
Each playlist requires its own section within the `playlists` attribute and unlike collections, playlists can only be built using one Builder as their ordering is inherited from the builder; it is not possible to combine builders.
```yaml
playlists:
Marvel Cinematic Universe Chronological Order:
# ... builder, details, and filters for this playlist
Star Wars Clone Wars Chronological Order:
# ... builder, details, and filters for this playlist
etc:
# ... builder, details, and filters for this playlist
```
There are multiple types of attributes that can be utilized within a playlist:
* [Builders](../../builders/overview.md)
* [Settings/Updates](../../metadata/update.md)[update.md]
* [Filters](../../builders/filters.md)
### Special Playlist Attributes
| Attribute | Description | Required |
|:------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------:|
| `libraries` | Determine which libraries the playlist will be built from.<br>**Options:** Comma-separated string or list of library mapping names defined in the `libraries` attribute in the base of your [Configuration File](../configuration.md. | &#9989; |
| `sync_to_users` | Determine which Users have the playlist synced.<br>This will override the global [`playlist_sync_to_users` Setting](../settings.md#playlist-sync-to-users).<br>**Options:** Comma-separated string or list of users, `all` for every user who has server access, or leave blank for just the server owner. | &#10060; |
| `exclude_users` | Determine which Users will be excluded from having the playlist synced.<br>This will override the global [`playlist_excude_users` Setting](../settings.md#playlist-exclude-users).<br>**Options:** Comma-separated string or list of users, `all` for every user who has server access, or leave blank for just the server owner. | &#10060; |
| `delete_playlist` | Will delete this playlist for the users defined by sync_to_users.<br>**Options:** `true` or `false` | &#10060; |
* Any defined playlist will be always be visible by The Plex Media Server owner, so it doesn't need to be defined within `sync_to_users`.
## Example Playlists
In the following example, media is pulled from the `Movies` and `TV Shows` libraries into the one Playlist, and the playlist is shared with a specific set of users:
```yaml
playlists:
Marvel Cinematic Universe Chronological Order:
sync_mode: sync
libraries: Movies, TV Shows
sync_to_users: User1, someone@somewhere.com, User3
trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/donxy/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe?sort=rank,asc
summary: Marvel Cinematic Universe In Chronological Order
Star Wars Clone Wars Chronological Order:
sync_to_users: all
sync_mode: sync
libraries: Movies, TV Shows
trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/tomfin46/lists/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episode-order

# Files
Files define the structure and format for creating Collections, Overlays, Playlists, and Metadata Edits within your libraries.
Files are modular and when properly leveraged, they not only facilitate the management of your library's collections and metadata but also serve as a crucial backup resource in case a restore is necessary.
There are four main File types that can be utilized against Plex servers:
| File Type | Description |
|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [Collection Files](data/collections.md) | Defines the data for building collections, allowing you to group and showcase your library in unique ways |
| [Overlay Files](data/overlays.md) | Defines the data for building overlays, allowing you to place information such as resolutions and ratings onto your posters. |
| Metadata Files ([Movies](data/metadata/movie.md)/[Shows](data/metadata/show.md)/[Music](data/metadata/music.md)) | Defines the data for editing metadata, allowing you to find and manipulate the metadata on individual items within your library. |
| [Playlist Files](data/playlists.md) | Defines the data for building playlists, allowing you to combine media from multiple libraries and share them with users on your server |
Collection, Overlay and Metadata Files can be linked to libraries in the [Libraries Attribute](../config/libraries.md#metadata-path) within the [Configuration File](../config/configuration.md).
## Example
This is a basic Files structure showing the use of all four File types.

* In this example, `"Movies01"`, `"TV Shows"`, and `"Anime"` will all use the global plex server (http://192.168.1.12:32400) which is defined using the global `plex` mapping. `"Movies02"` will use the plex server http://192.168.1.35:32400 which is defined under its `plex` mapping over the global mapping.
### Metadata Path
### Collection File
The `metadata_path` attribute is used to define [Metadata Files](../metadata/metadata.md) by specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See [Path Types](paths.md) for how to define them.
The `collection_files` attribute is used to define [Collection Files](data/collections.md) by specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See [Path Types](paths.md) for how to define them.
```yaml
libraries:
TV Shows:
metadata_path:
collection_files:
- file: config/TV Shows.yml
- pmm: tmdb
- pmm: network
```
By default, when `metadata_path` is missing Plex Meta Manager 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`.
By default, when `collection_files` is missing Plex Meta Manager will look within the root PMM directory for a collection file called `<MAPPING_NAME>.yml`. In this example, Plex Meta Manager will look for a file named `TV Shows.yml`.

### Metadata File
The `metadata_files` attribute is used to define Metadata Files by specifying the path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See [Path Types](paths.md) for how to define them.
???+ tip
As of Plex Meta Manager 1.19.2 "Metadata Files" refers to YAML files which refers to managing the metadata of items [movies, shows, music] within your library, and "Collection Files" refers to YAML files which define Collections.
In previous version of Plex Meta Manager, "Metadata Files" could mean either of the above.
```yaml
libraries:
TV Shows:
metadata_files:
- file: config/metadata.yml

### Report Path
The `report_path` attribute is used to define where to save the YAML Report file. This file is used to store information about what media is added, removed, filtered, and missing from the Plex library compared to what is expected from the Metadata file.
