Matching Movies
The match
attribute is used to match movies within Plex to that definition within the Metadata file. One definition can match and edit multiple movies. The available matching options are outlined below.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
title 1 |
Only matches movies that exactly match the movie's Title. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
year |
Only matches movies that were released in the given year. |
mapping_id 2 |
Only matches movies that have the given TMDb or IMDb ID. |
edition 3 |
Only matches movies that exactly match the movie's Edition. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
edition_contains 3 |
Only matches movies where the movie's Edition contains the given string. Can be a list (only one needs to match). |
blank_edition 3 |
Only matches movies that have no Edition. Default: false Values: true or false |
- When
title
is not provided and the mapping name was not specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name astitle
for matching. - When
mapping_id
is not provided and the mapping name was specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name asmapping_id
for matching. - When the server does not have a Plex Pass then the Edition Field is not accessible. In this scenario, PMM will check the movie's filepath for
{edition-...}
to determine what the edition is.
Examples
Below are some examples on how movies can be matched.
Example 1 - title
and mapping_id
The below example shows how title
and mapping_id
can be used to match movies.
metadata:
movie1: # Matches via the title "Star Wars"
match:
title: Star Wars
edits...
movie2: # Matches via TMDb ID: 299534
match:
mapping_id: 299534
edits...
movie3: # Matches via IMDb ID: tt4154756
match:
mapping_id: tt4154756
edits...
movie4: # Matches via the title "9"
match:
title: 9
edits...
The Mapping Name can also be used to reduce line-count, as shown here:
metadata:
Star Wars: # Matches via the title "Star Wars"
edits...
299534: # Matches via TMDb ID: 299534
edits...
tt4154756: # Matches via IMDb ID: tt4154756
edits...
"9": # Matches via the title "9"
edits...
Note: to search for a movie titled with a number from the mapping name you must surround the number in quotes like in the example below. Otherwise, it will look for the movie associated with that TMDb ID.
Example 2 - title
and year
The below example shows how title
and year
can be used to match movies.
In this example, there are two movies in the library called "Godzilla", so the year
attribute is used to identify which movie is being matched.
metadata:
Godzilla (1954): # Matches via the title "Godzilla" released in 1954
match:
title: Godzilla
year: 1954
edits...
Godzilla (1998): # Matches via the title "Godzilla" released in 1998
match:
title: Godzilla
year: 1998
edits...
Example 3 - using editions
The edition attributes can be used to further specify which version of a movie should be matched within Plex.
This can be combined with Example 1 as follows
metadata:
movie1: # Matches via the title "Star Wars" and edition containing "4K77"
match:
title: Star Wars
edition_contains: 4K77
edits...
If you wanted to specify the version of Star Wars which does not have an edition, then the blank_edition
attribute can be used as shown below:
metadata:
movie1: # Matches via the title "Star Wars" and checks for no edition version
match:
title: Star Wars
blank_edition: true
edits...
Metadata Edits
The available attributes for editing movies are as follows
Special Attributes
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
tmdb_show |
TMDb Show ID to use for metadata. Used when the Movie in your library is actually a miniseries on TMDb. (Example: Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn or IT) This is not used to say this movie is the given ID. |
run_definition |
Used to specify if this definition runs. Multiple can be used for one definition as a list or comma separated string. One false or unmatched library type will cause it to fail.Values: movie , show , artist , true , false |
- If the server does not have a Plex Pass then the Edition Field is not accessible. In this case PMM will check the movies filepath for
{edition-MOVIES EDITION}
to determine what the edition is.
