Library Attributes

Within the Configuration File, the libraries attribute specifies the Plex libraries that the user wants Plex Meta Manager to act on.

Attributes are used to instruct Plex Meta Manager what actions to take, such as "load the following libraries" or "execute the following Collection Definition files". These attributes can be specified individually per library, or can be inherited from the global value if it has been set. If an attribute is specified at both the library and global level, then the library level attribute will take priority.

Attributes

The available attributes for each library are as follows:

??? blank "library_name - Used to specify the Library's name."

<div id="library-name" />*Required only when trying to use multiple servers with the same name.*

Each library that the user wants Plex Meta Manager to interact with must be documented with a library attribute. 

A library attribute is represented by the mapping name (i.e. `Movies` or `TV Shows`), this must have a unique name 
that correlates with a library of the same name within the Plex Media Server.

In the situation that two servers are being connected to which both have libraries of the same name, the 
`library_name` attribute can be utilized to specify the real Library Name, whilst the library attribute's mapping 
name can be made into a placeholder. This is showcased below:

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `library_name`

**Accepted Values:** Library Name

**Default Value:** Base Attribute Name

???+ example "Example"
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies01:
        library_name: Movies
      Movies02:
        library_name: Movies
        plex:
          url: http://192.168.1.35:32400
          token: ####################
      TV Shows:
      Anime:
    plex:
      url: http://192.168.1.12:32400
      token: ####################
    ```
    
    * 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.

??? blank "collection_files - Used to define Collection Files."

<div id="collection-files" />The `collection_files` attribute is used to define 
[Collection Files](../files/collections.md) by specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed 
against the parent library. See [File Blocks](files.md) for how to define them.

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `collection_files`

**Accepted Values:** Location of Collection YAML files.

**Default Value:** `/config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>.yml`

???+ example "Example"
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      TV Shows:
        collection_files:
          - file: config/TV Shows.yml
          - pmm: tmdb
          - pmm: network
    ```

    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`.
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      TV Shows:
    ```

??? blank "metadata_files - Used to define Metadata Files."

<div id="metadata-files" />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 [File Blocks](files.md) for how to define them.

???+ tip

    As of Plex Meta Manager 1.20.0 "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.

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `metadata_files`

**Accepted Values:** Location of [Metadata Files](../files/metadata.md)

**Default Value:** `None`

???+ example "Example"
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      TV Shows:
        metadata_files:
          - file: config/metadata.yml
    ```

??? blank "overlay_files - Used to define Overlay Files."

<div id="overlay-files" />The `overlay_files` attribute is used to define [Overlay Files](../files/overlays.md) by 
specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See 
[File Blocks](files.md) for how to define them.

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `overlay_files`

**Accepted Values:** Location of [Overlay Files](../files/overlays.md)

**Default Value:** `None`

???+ example "Example"
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      TV Shows:
        collection_files:
          - file: config/TV Shows.yml
        overlay_files:
          - file: config/Overlays.yml
    ```

??? blank "report_path - Location to save the YAML Report file for a library."

<div id="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 Collection, Metadata, Overlay or Playlist file.

If your Collection file creates a collection with `Movie 1`, `Movie 2` and `Movie 3` but your Plex library only has 
`Movie 1` and `Movie 3`, then the missing YAML file will be updated to inform the user that `Movie 2` was missing 
from the library.

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `report_path`

**Accepted Values:** Location to save the YAML Report file

**Default Value:** `/config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>_report.yml` where `<<MAPPING_NAME>>` is the name of the library 
attribute

???+ example "Example"
    
    If you want to call your Report YAML something different you can like so:

    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        report_path: /config/My Movie Report.yml
    ```
    
    Alternatively, Report YAML files can be placed in their own directory, as below:
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        report_path: /config/reports/Movies.yml
        collection_files:
          - file: config/Movies.yml
        overlay_files:
          - file: config/Overlays.yml
    ```

??? blank "template_variables - Used to define Custom Template Variables for every file in a library."

<div id="template-variables" />Passes all given [Template Variables](../files/templates.md#template-variables) to 
every template in every Collection, Metadata, and Overlay file run.

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `template_variables`

**Accepted Values:** [Dictionary](../pmm/yaml.md#dictionaries) of values specified by each particular file.

**Default Value:** `None`

???+ example "Example"
    
    ```yaml
    libraries:
      Movies:
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: hide_items
        collection_files:
          - file: config/Movies.yml
        overlay_files:
          - file: config/Overlays.yml
    ```

          - file: config/TV Shows.yml
        overlay_files:
          - file: config/Overlays.yml
    ```

    ```

??? blank "remove_overlays - Used to remove overlays."

<div id="remove-overlays" />Used to remove overlays from this library only.

???+ warning "Proceed with Caution"

    When set to `true`, this will remove all overlays from your library every run, but will not delete 
    the overlaid images from your system, resulting in [image bloat](../pmm/scripts/image-cleanup.md).

    ```

??? blank "reapply_overlays - Used to reapply overlays."

<div id="reapply-overlays" />Used to reapply overlays from this library only. This will reapply overlays to every item in your library.

???+ warning "Proceed with Caution"

    When set to `true`, this will reapply all overlays on each run even if there is no need to do so, which will result in 
    [image bloat](../pmm/scripts/image-cleanup.md).

<hr style="margin: 0px;">

**Attribute:** `reapply_overlays`

**Accepted Values:** `true` or `false`

**Default Value:** `false`

    ```

??? blank "reset_overlays - Used to reset overlays."

<div id="reset-overlays" />Used to reset overlays from this library only. This will reset overlays to every item in 
your library to your source choice. This will use the reset image when overlaying items in your library.

???+ warning "Proceed with Caution"

    ```

??? blank "schedule_overlays - Used to schedule overlays."

<div id="schedule-overlays" />Used to schedule overlays to run when desired. Overlays are applied all at once in a 
batch therefore you cannot schedule individual Overlay Files, as any unscheduled overlay file will be removed each 
time PMM is run.

Example

This example is an advanced version of the library mappings which highlights some attributes being set at the global level, and some being set at the library level:

???+ example "Example Library Mappings"

In this example, the `"TV Shows On Second Plex"` library has a library-level `plex` configuration, which takes priority over the `plex` configuration set at the global level.

The `"Anime"` library also has a library-level `radarr` configuration, which takes priority over the `radarr` configuration set at the global level.
