Default Metadata & Overlays Files

There is a default set of Metadata and Overlay Files located in the PMM Folder in the Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository.

The intention of this directory is to offer easy to use and slightly customizable (using template_variables) Metadata and Overlay Files for a general user who wants nice collections but doesn't want to learn all of Plex Meta Manager.

All posters defined in the Metadata Files are stored in the Plex Meta Manager Images Repository and all Overlay images are in the Configs Repository at PMM/overlays/images, which allows for changes to be made in one central location that will deploy to all users of this setup when they next run PMM.

Credits to Bullmoose20 and Yozora for helping drive this entire Default Set of Configs through the concept, design and implementation.

Special thanks to Magic815 for the overlay image inspiration and base template.

Configurations

To run a file in git you can simply add it to your metadata_path (For Metadata Files) or overlay_path (For Overlay Files) using git like so:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
    - git: PMM/actor
    - git: PMM/genre
    overlay_path:
    - remove_overlays: false
    - git: PMM/overlays/imdb_top_250
    - git: PMM/overlays/ratings

Overlays

The default set of overlays are a combination of Positional Overlays and Text Overlays.

Click to expand to see all the different spots on an image the default overlays will be.

Example Poster Overlays

Example Episode Overlays

Separators

By default, most metadata files use separators to denote different sections of collection like actor collections vs studio collections.

Click to expand to see an example of Separators.

Collection Section Order

Almost every default metadata file has a collection_section attribute. These attributes determine the order of the various sections and can be set by customizing your config.

Customizing Configs

Configs can be customized using the template_variables attribute when calling the file. These template_variables will be given to every template call in the file which allows them to affect how that file runs.

libraries:
  TV Shows:
    overlay_path:
    - git: PMM/overlays/ratings
      template_variables:
        overlay_level: episode

Each file has a comment block at the top showing the available template_variables for each file. For example the PMM/genre has this:

#############################################################
#                 Dynamic Genre Collections                 #
#         Created by Yozora, Bullmoose20, & Sohjiro         #
#############################################################
#  Call this from your config.yml (Movie or Show)           #
#  If nothing is specified these are the defaults           #
#                                                           #
#    metadata_path:                                         #
#      - git: PMM/genre                                     #
#        template_variables:                                #
#          # Turn the separator collection on/off           #
#          use_separator: true                              #
#          # Sets how the collection is sorted              #
#          sort_by: release.desc                            #
#          # Sets the collection mode of the collection     #
#          collection_mode:                                 #
#          # Sets the value at the start of the sort title  #
#          collection_section: "06"                         #
#############################################################

Each of these when passed will change how the collection runs slightly.

  • use_separator Turn the separator collection on/off
  • sort_by Sets how the collection is sorted
  • collection_mode Sets the collection mode of the collection
  • collection_section Sets the value at the start of the sort title

In addition to the defined template_variables each file in the PMM Folder has access to the radarr_add_missing and sonarr_add_missing template variables and for dynamic collections most attributes can be passed as template variables

For example if you want yearly oscar collections that go back 10 years instead of 5 all of which gets sent to radarr use the data and radarr_add_missing template variables.

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
    - git: PMM/award/oscars
      template_variables:
        radarr_add_missing: true
        data:
          starting: current_year-10
          ending: current_year

Errors

If there are collections being made that have configuration errors or missing posters please either bring it up in our Discord or raise an Issue on the Configs Repo.
