# 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
metadata:
Godzilla (1954):
match:
title: Godzilla
year: 1954

## 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`1 | 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`2 | Only matches movies that have the given TMDb or IMDb ID. |
| `edition`3 | Only matches movies that exactly match the movie's Edition. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
| `edition_contains`3 | Only matches movies where the movie's Edition contains the given string. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
| `blank_edition`3 | Only matches movies that have no Edition.
**Default:** `false`
**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.
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.
**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.
