Smart Builders

Smart Builders allow Plex Meta Manager to create Smart Collections in two different ways.

The results of these builders are dynamic and do not require PMM to re-run in order to update, instead they will update automatically as the data within your Plex Library updates (i.e. if new media is added)

???+ note

Smart Builders do not currently work with Playlists

Smart Label

A Smart Label Collection is a smart collection that grabs every item with a specific label generated by the program. That label is added to all the items the Collection Builders find instead of being added to a normal collection.

To make a collection a Smart Label Collection, the smart_label attribute must be added to the collection definition. It functions in two different ways:

  1. Define the sort using the Movies/Shows column of the Sorts Table below along with any other builder to make that collection a Smart Label Collection.

    collections:
  Marvel Cinematic Universe:
    trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/jawann2002/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe-movies?sort=rank,asc
    smart_label: release.desc

  2. Provide a whole smart_filter to determine exactly how the smart collection should be built, ensuring to include label: <<smart_label>>, which will link it to the collection labels.

    collections:
  Unplayed Marvel Cinematic Universe:
    trakt_list: https://trakt.tv/users/jawann2002/lists/marvel-cinematic-universe-movies?sort=rank,asc
    smart_label:
      sort_by: release.desc
      all:
        label: <<smart_label>>
        unplayed: true

This is extremely useful because smart collections don't follow normal show/hide rules and can eliminate the need to have Plex Collectionless when used correctly. To fix the issue described in Plex Collectionless you would make Marvel Cinematic Universe a Smart Label Collection and all other Marvel collection just normal collections, and they will show/hide all the movie properly.

To have the Smart Label Collections to eliminate Plex Collectionless you have to go all in on using them. A good rule of thumb to make sure this works correctly is that every item in your library should have a max of one non-smart collection.

Reach out on the Plex Meta Manager Discord or in the GitHub Discussions for help if you're having any issues getting this to work properly.

Smart Filter

Uses Plex's Advanced Filters to create a smart collection based on the filter parameters provided.

Any Advanced Filter made using the Plex UI should be able to be recreated using smart_filter. If you're having trouble getting smart_filter to work correctly, build the collection you want inside of Plex's Advanced Filters and take a screenshot of the parameters in the Plex UI and post it in either the Discussions or on Discord, and I'll do my best to help you.

like Plex's Advanced Filters you have to start each filter with either any or all as a base. You can only have one base attribute and all filter attributes must be under the base.

Inside the base attribute you can use any filter below or nest more any or all. You can have as many nested any or all next to each other as you want. If using multiple any or all you will have to do so in the form of a list.

Note: To search by season, episode, album, or track you must use the builder_level Detail to change the type of items the collection holds.

There are a couple other attributes you can have at the top level only along with the base attribute are:

Special Attributes

Attribute Description & Values
limit Description: The max number of item for the filter.
Default: all
Values: all or a number greater than 0
sort_by Description: This will control how the filter is sorted in your library. You can do a multi-level sort using a list.
Default: random
Values: Any sort options for your filter type in the Sorts Options Table
validate Description: Determines if a collection will fail on a validation error
Default: true
Values: true or false
