# Path Types
|
|
|
|
YAML Files are defined by their path type and path location for the [`metadata_path`](libraries.md#metadata-path), [`overlay_path`](libraries.md#overlay-path), [`playlist_files`](libraries.md#metadata-path), and [`external_templates`](libraries.md#metadata-path) attributes.
|
|
|
|
They can either be on the local system, online at an url, directly from the [Plex Meta Manager Configs](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs) repository, or from another [`Custom Repository`](settings.md#custom-repo).
|
|
|
|
The path types are outlined as follows:
|
|
|
|
* `- file:` refers to a metadata file which is located within the system that PMM is being run from.
|
|
* `- folder:` refers to a directory containing metadata files which is located within the system that PMM is being run from.
|
|
* `- url:` refers to a metadata file which is hosted publicly on the internet.
|
|
* `- git:` refers to a metadata file which is hosted on the [Configs Repo](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs).
|
|
* `- repo:` refers to a metadata file which is hosted on a custom repository specified aby the user with the [`custom_repo` Setting Attribute](settings.md#custom-repo).
|
|
|
|
## YAML Controls
|
|
|
|
You can have some control of yaml files from inside your Configuration file by using YAML Controls.
|
|
|
|
### Template Variables
|
|
|
|
You can define [Template Variables](../metadata/templates.md#template-variables) that will be added to every template in the associated YAML file by adding the `template_variables` attribute to the dictionary defining the file.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- git: PMM/genre
|
|
template_variables:
|
|
schedule_separator: never
|
|
collection_mode: hide
|
|
- git: PMM/actor # Notice how the `-` starts this "section"
|
|
template_variables:
|
|
schedule_separator: never
|
|
collection_mode: hide
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example there will be two template variables added to every template in the git file PMM/genre.
|
|
|
|
`schedule_separator` is set to `never` to not show a separator in this section and `collection_mode` is set to `hide`.
|
|
|
|
What these variables will do depends on how they're defined in the Metadata File.
|
|
|
|
### Schedule
|
|
|
|
Each [`metadata_path`](libraries.md#metadata-path), [`overlay_path`](libraries.md#overlay-path), or [`playlist_files`](libraries.md#metadata-path) can be scheduled by adding the `schedule` attribute to the dictionary defining the file.
|
|
|
|
Below is an example of a scheduled Metadata File, Overlay File, and Playlist File:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
Movies:
|
|
schedule: weekly(saturday)
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- file: config/Movies.yml
|
|
schedule: weekly(friday)
|
|
overlay_path:
|
|
- git: PMM/overlays/imdb
|
|
playlist_files:
|
|
- file: config/Playlists.yml
|
|
schedule: weekly(sunday)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Metadata Path
|
|
|
|
The [`metadata_path`](libraries.md#metadata-path) attribute is defined under the [`libraries`](libraries) attribute in your [Configuration File](configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Click to Expand</summary>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
In this example, multiple metadata file path types are defined for the `"TV Shows"` library:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
metadata_path:
|
|
- file: config/TVShows.yml
|
|
- folder: config/TV Shows/
|
|
- git: meisnate12/ShowCharts
|
|
- repo: charts
|
|
- url: https://somewhere.com/PopularTV.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Within the above example, PMM will:
|
|
|
|
* First, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a metadata file named `TVShows.yml`. If this file does not exist, PMM will skip the entry and move to the next one in the list.
|
|
* Then, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a directory called `TV Shows`, and then load any metadata files within that directory.
|
|
* Then, look at the [meisnate12 folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/meisnate12) within the GitHub Configs Repo for a file called `MovieCharts.yml` which it finds [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/meisnate12/MovieCharts.yml).
|
|
* Then, look at the within the Custom Defined Repo for a file called `charts.yml`.
|
|
* Finally, load the metadata file located at `https://somewhere.com/PopularTV.yml`
|
|
|
|
</details>
|
|
|
|
## Overlay Path
|
|
|
|
The [`overlay_path`](libraries.md#overlay-path) attribute is defined under the [`libraries`](libraries) attribute in your [Configuration File](configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Click to Expand</summary>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
In this example, multiple overlay file path types are defined for the `"TV Shows"` library:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
libraries:
|
|
TV Shows:
|
|
overlay_path:
|
|
- file: config/overlays.yml
|
|
- folder: config/overlay configs/
|
|
- git: PMM/overlays/imdb
|
|
- repo: overlays
|
|
- url: https://somewhere.com/Overlays.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Within the above example, PMM will:
|
|
|
|
* First, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a metadata file named `overlays.yml`. If this file does not exist, PMM will skip the entry and move to the next one in the list.
|
|
* Then, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a directory called `overlay configs`, and then load any metadata files within that directory.
|
|
* Then, look at the [meisnate12 folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/meisnate12) within the GitHub Configs Repo for a file called `PMM/overlays/imdb.yml` which it finds [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/PMM/overlays/imdb.yml).
|
|
* Then, look at the within the Custom Defined Repo for a file called `overlays.yml`.
|
|
* Finally, load the metadata file located at `https://somewhere.com/Overlays.yml`
|
|
|

|
## Playlist Files
|
|
|
|
The [`playlist_files`](libraries.md#playlist-files-attribute) at the top level in your [Configuration File](configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Click to Expand</summary>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
In this example, multiple `playlist_files` attribute path types are defined:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
playlist_files:
|
|
- file: config/playlists.yml
|
|
- folder: config/Playlists/
|
|
- git: meisnate12/Playlists
|
|
- repo: playlists
|
|
- url: https://somewhere.com/Playlists.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Within the above example, PMM will:
|
|
|
|
* First, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a playlist file named `Playlists.yml`. If this file does not exist, PMM will skip the entry and move to the next one in the list.
|
|
* Then, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a directory called `Playlists`, and then load any playlist files within that directory.
|
|
* Then, look at the [meisnate12 folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/meisnate12) within the GitHub Configs Repo for a file called `MovieCharts.yml` which it finds [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/meisnate12/Playlists.yml).
|
|
* Then, look at the within the Custom Defined Repo for a file called `playlists.yml`.
|
|
* Finally, load the playlist file located at `https://somewhere.com/Playlists.yml`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## External Templates
|
|
|
|
The [`external_templates`](../metadata/templates.md#external-templates) attribute is defined at the top level in your [Metadata File](../metadata/metadata).
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>Click to Expand</summary>
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
In this example, multiple external template file path types are defined:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
external_templates:
|
|
- file: config/templates.yml
|
|
- folder: config/templates/
|
|
- url: https://somewhere.com/templates.yml
|
|
- git: PMM/templates
|
|
- repo: templates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Within the above example, PMM will:
|
|
|
|
* First, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a metadata file named `templates.yml`. If this file does not exist, PMM will skip the entry and move to the next one in the list.
|
|
* Then, look within the root of the PMM directory (also known as `config/`) for a directory called `templates`, and then load any metadata files within that directory.
