Dumb Builders

This builder finds its items by using the features of Plex.

No configuration is required for these builders.

The results of these builders are static and require PMM to re-run in order to update.

Attribute Description Works with Movies Works with Shows Works with Playlists and Custom Sort
plex_all Gets every movie/show in your library. Useful with Filters :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }
plex_watchlist Gets every movie/show in your Watchlist. :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green }
plex_pilots Gets the first episode of every show in your library :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red } :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green }
plex_collectionless Gets every movie/show that is not in a collection :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-check:{ .green } :fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red }

Plex All

Finds every item in your library. Useful with Filters.

The expected input is either true or false.

collections:
  9.0 Movies:
    plex_all: true
    filters:
      rating.gte: 9

Plex Watchlist

Finds every item in your Watchlist.

The expected input is the sort you want returned. It defaults to added.asc.

Watchlist Sort Options

Sort Option Description

The sync_mode: sync and collection_order: custom Setting are recommended.

Plex Pilots

Gets the first episode of every show in your library. This only works with builder_level: episode

collections:
  Pilots:
    builder_level: episode
    plex_pilots: true

Plex Collectionless

This is not needed if you're using Smart Label Collections.

Finds every item that is not in a collection unless the collection is in the exclusion list. This is a special collection type to help keep your library looking correct. When items in your library are in multiple collections it can mess up how they're displayed in your library.

For Example, if you have a Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection set to Show this collection and its items and an Iron Man Collection set to Hide items in this collection what happens is the show overrides the hide, and you end up with both the collections and the 3 Iron Man movies all displaying.

Alternatively, if you set the Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection to Hide items in this collection then movies without a collection like The Incredible Hulk will be hidden from the library view.

To combat the problem above you set all collections to Hide items in this collection then create a collection set to Hide collection and put every movie that you still want to display in that collection.

With the variability of collections generated by the Plex Meta Manager maintaining a collection like this becomes very difficult, so in order to automate it, you can use plex_collectionless. You just have to tell it what collections to exclude or what collection prefixes to exclude.

There are two attributes for plex_collectionless:

  • exclude: Exclude these Collections from being considered for collectionless.
  • exclude_prefix Exclude Collections whose title or sort title starts with a prefix from being considered for collectionless.

At least one exclusion is required.

collections:
  Collectionless:
    plex_collectionless:
      exclude_prefix:
        - "!"
        - "+"
        - "~"
      exclude: 
        - Marvel Cinematic Universe
    sort_title: ~_Collectionless
    collection_order: alpha
    collection_mode: hide
  • Both exclude and exclude_prefix can take multiple values as a List.
  • This is a known issue with Plex Collection and there is a Feature Suggestion detailing the issue more on their forms.

Plex Search

Uses Plex's Advanced Filters to find all items based on the search parameters provided.

Any Advanced Filter made using the Plex UI should be able to be recreated using plex_search. If you're having trouble getting plex_search 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 search with either any or all as a base. You can only have one base attribute and all search attributes must be under the base.

Inside the base attribute you can use any search 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 Setting 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 search.

sort_by Description: This will control how the filter is sorted in your library. You can do a multi-level sort using a list.
