Library Attributes

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.

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.

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/Movies.yml
      - pmm: imdb
      - pmm: studio
      - pmm: genre

Attributes

The available attributes for each library are as follows:

Attribute Values Default Required
library_name Library name (required only when trying to use multiple libraries with the same name) Base Attribute Name :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
metadata_path Location of Metadata YAML files /config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>.yml :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
overlay_path Location of Overlay YAML files None :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
report_path Location to create the YAML file listing added, removed, filtered, and missing items for this library /config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>_report.yml :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
template_variables Library template variables to be applied to every Metadata and Overlay file run. N/A :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
schedule Use any schedule option to control when this library is run. daily :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
operations Library Operations to run N/A :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
settings Any setting attribute that overrides a global value global :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
plex Any plex attribute that overrides a global value global :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } Either here or globally
radarr Any radarr attribute that overrides a global value global :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
sonarr Any sonarr attribute that overrides a global value global :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
tautulli Any tautulli attribute that overrides a global value global :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }

Library 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:

???+ Library Name 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.

Metadata Path

The metadata_path attribute is used to define Metadata Files by specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See Path Types for how to define them.

libraries:
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV Shows.yml
      - pmm: tmdb
      - pmm: network

By default, when metadata_path is missing Plex Meta Manager will look within the root PMM directory for a metadata file called <MAPPING_NAME>.yml. In this example, Plex Meta Manager will look for a file named TV Shows.yml.

libraries:
  TV Shows:

Overlay Path

The overlay_path attribute is used to define Overlay Files by specifying the path type and path of the files that will be executed against the parent library. See Path Types for how to define them.

libraries:
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV Shows.yml
    overlay_path:
      - file: config/Overlays.yml

Special Overlay Path Calls

Remove Overlays

You can remove overlays from a library by adding remove_overlays: true to overlay_path.

???+ warning "Proceed with Caution"

This will remove all overlays from your library, but will not delete the overlaid images from your system, resulting in [image bloat](../pmm/essentials/scripts/image-cleanup.md).

```yaml
libraries:
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV Shows.yml
    overlay_path:
      - remove_overlays: true
      - file: config/Overlays.yml
```

Reapply Overlays

You can reapply overlays from a library by adding reapply_overlays: true to overlay_path. This will reapply overlays to every item in your library.

???+ danger "Important Notice"

This will reapply all overlays on each run until this attribute is set to `false`, which will result in [image bloat](../pmm/essentials/scripts/image-cleanup.md).

```yaml
libraries:
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV Shows.yml
    overlay_path:
      - reapply_overlays: true
      - file: config/Overlays.yml
```

Reset Overlays

You can reset overlays from a library by adding reset_overlays to overlay_path and setting it to either tmdb or plex depending on where you want to source the images from. This will use the reset image when overlaying items in your library.

???+ danger "Important Notice"

This will reset all posters to the desired source on each run until this attribute is set to `false`, and will reapply all overlays on each run, which will result in [image bloat](../pmm/essentials/scripts/image-cleanup.md).


```yaml
libraries:
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV Shows.yml
    overlay_path:
      - reset_overlays: plex
      - file: config/Overlays.yml
```

Schedule Overlays

You can schedule all overlays from a library by adding schedule to overlay_path and setting it to Any Schedule Option.

You cannot schedule individual Overlay Files, as any unscheduled overlay file will be removed each time PMM is run.

???+ tip "Example"

```yaml
libraries:
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV Shows.yml
    overlay_path:
      - schedule: weekly(sunday)
      - file: config/Overlays.yml
```

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 Metadata file.

If your Metadata 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.

The default and recommended path is /config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>report.yml where <<MAPPING_NAME>> is the name of the library attribute, as showcased below:

libraries:
  Movies:
    report_path: /config/Movies_report.yml

Alternatively, Report YAML files can be placed in their own directory, as below:

libraries:
  Movies:
    report_path: /config/reports/Movies.yml

Library Template Variables

Library template variables to be applied to every Metadata and Overlay file run.

libraries:
  Movies:
    template_variables:
      collection_mode: hide_items
