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.

:fontawesome-solid-circle-xmark:{ .red } |
overlay_path |

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 } |

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
This will remove all overlays from your library, but will not delete the overlaid images from your system, resulting in image bloat.
You can remove overlays from a library by adding remove_overlays: true
to overlay_path
. This will remove all overlays when run and not generate new ones.
???+ warning "Proceed with Caution"
```yaml
libraries:
TV Shows:
metadata_path:
- file: config/TV Shows.yml
overlay_path:
- remove_overlays: true
- file: config/Overlays.yml
```
Reapply Overlays
This will reapply all overlays on each run until this attribute is set to false
, which will result in image bloat.
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 Proceed with Caution
```yaml
libraries:
TV Shows:
metadata_path:
- file: config/TV Shows.yml
overlay_path:
- reapply_overlays: true
- file: config/Overlays.yml
```
Reset Overlays
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.
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 "Proceed with Caution"
```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
