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, Harry Potter, 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.

dynamic_collections:
  TMDb Collections:          # This name is the mapping name
    type: tmdb_collections
    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_collections 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

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.

dynamic_collections:
  Countries:         # mapping name does not matter, just needs to be unique
    type: country
    title_format: <<country>> 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.

dynamic_collections:
  networks:
    type: network
    addons:
      MTV:
        - MTV2
        - MTV3
        - MTV (UK)

Exclude

Exclude this list of keys from being created into collections.

For example when making a genre dynamic collection definition you can exclude "Horror" from having a collection created from the key.

dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter, just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    exclude:
      - Horror

Addons

Defines how multiple keys can be combined under a parent key.

For example, the addons attribute can be used to combine multiple keys, i.e. merging "MTV2", "MTV3" and "MTV (UK)" into the "MTV" collection.

dynamic_collections:
  networks:
    type: network
    addons:
      MTV: 
        - MTV2
        - MTV3
        - MTV (UK)

Template

Name of the template to use for these dynamic collections. Each type has its own default template, but if you want to define and use your own template you can.

For example, the template below removes the limit on the smart_filter so it shows all items in each network

templates:
  network collection:
    smart_filter: 
      sort_by: critic_rating.desc
      all: 
        network: <<network>>
dynamic_collections:
  Networks:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: network
    title_format: <<key_name>>
    template: network collection

Template Variables

Defines how template variables can be defined by key.

For example, when using type: tmdb_collections and you want to define a poster url for some collections

templates:
  optional:
    - my_collection_poster
  tmdb_collection_details: <<collection_id>>
  collection_order: release
  url_poster: <<my_collection_poster>>
dynamic_collections:
  TMDb Collections:          # This name is the mapping name
    type: tmdb_collections
    remove_suffix: "Collection"
    template_variables:
      my_collection_poster:
        119: https://www.themoviedb.org/t/p/original/oENY593nKRVL2PnxXsMtlh8izb4.jpg
        531241: https://www.themoviedb.org/t/p/original/nogV4th2P5QWYvQIMiWHj4CFLU9.jpg

Remove Prefix/Suffix

Removes the defined prefixes/suffixes from the key before it’s used in the collection title.

For example, when using type: tmdb_collections you may not want every collection title to end with Collection

dynamic_collections:
  TMDb Collections:          # This name is the mapping name
    type: tmdb_collections
    remove_suffix: "Collection"

Title Format

This is the format for the collection titles.

there are two special tags you can include in the title_format

• <<key_name>> is required and is what will be replaced by the dynamic key name.
• <<library_type>> will be replaced with either Movie, Show, or Artist depending on your library type.

Here's an example using title_format.

dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    title_format: Top 50 <<key_name>> <<library_type>>s

Key Name Override

Defines how key names can be overridden before they are formatted into collection titles.

This example uses 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.

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

Title Override

Defines how collection titles can be overridden ignoring title formatting.

Here's an example using title_override that will override the TMDb Star Wars collection which has an TMDb ID of 10 with `Star Wars Universe.

dynamic_collections:
  TMDb Collections:          # mapping name does not matter, just needs to be unique
    type: tmdb_collections
    remove_suffix: "Collection"
    title_override:
      10: Star Wars Universe

Test

Will add test: true to all collections for test runs.

Here's an example using test.

dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    test: true

Sync

Will remove dynamic collections that are no longer in the creation list.

The mapping name is added as a label to any collection created using dynamic and because of this when sync is true all collections with that label not found in this run will be deleted.

Here's an example using sync.

dynamic_collections:
  Trakt Liked Lists:          # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: trakt_liked_lists
    sync: true

Include

Define a list of keys to be made into collections.

This cannot be used with exclude.

Here's an example using include.

dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    include: 
      - Action
      - Adventure
      - Animation
      - Comedy
      - Family
      - Fantasy
      - Horror
      - Romance
      - Science Fiction
      - War

Other Name

Used in combination with include. When defined, all keys not in include or addons will be combined into this collection.

This is the main reason to use include. It allows a catch all collection for everything not defined in the config file.

Here's an example using other_name.

dynamic_collections:
  Genres:         # mapping name does not matter just needs to be unique
    type: genre
    other_name: Top Other Movies
    include:
      - Action
      - Adventure
      - Animation
      - Comedy
      - Family
      - Fantasy
      - Horror
      - Romance
      - Science Fiction
      - War
