One of the two required configuration mappings is libraries which is where you set up a configuration for each Plex Library you want the program to interact with.
Each library is defined by the mapping name which must be the same as the library name unless a different library_name is specified. You can either set attributes individually per library or you can let them be inherited from the global value.
An advance example of multiple libraries with some using the global values and some having their own values is below:
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- file: config/Movies.yml
- git: meisnate12/MovieCharts
- git: meisnate12/Studios
- git: meisnate12/IMDBGenres
- git: meisnate12/People
operations:
mass_critic_rating_update: tmdb
split_duplicates: true
TV Shows:
metadata_path:
- file: config/TV Shows.yml
- git: meisnate12/ShowCharts
- git: meisnate12/Networks
TV Shows On Second Plex:
library_name: TV Shows
plex:
url: http://192.168.1.98:32400
token: ####################
metadata_path:
- file: config/TV Shows.yml
- git: meisnate12/ShowCharts
- git: meisnate12/Networks
Anime:
metadata_path:
- file: config/Anime.yml
- git: meisnate12/AnimeCharts
radarr:
url: http://192.168.1.45:7878
token: ################################
root_folder_path: S:/Anime
settings:
asset_directory:
config/assets/anime
plex:

add: true
root_folder_path: S:/Movies
monitor: true
availability: announced

The available attributes for each library are as follows
| Name | Attribute | Allowed Values | Default | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Library Name | library_name |
Library name (Only needed when trying to use multiple libraries with the same name) | Base Attribute Name | ❌ |
| Metadata Path | metadata_path |
Location for your Metadata YAML files | /config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>.yml |
❌ |
| Missing Path | missing_path |
Path to missing YAML file for the library | /config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>_missing.yml |
❌ |
| Operations Mapping | operations |

- Library mappings must have a colon
:placed after them
Library Name
Each library must have a different name. If you want to use multiple libraries with the same name you can use the library_name attribute to specify the real Library Name and just have a placeholder as the library mapping name. A simple example is below:
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: ####################
- Movies01, TV Shows, and Anime will all use the global plex server http://192.168.1.12:32400, defined using the global
plexmapping. While the library, Movies02, will use the plex server http://192.168.1.35:32400 which is defined under itsplexmapping over the global mapping.
Metadata Path
You can define Metadata Files by using metadata_path. They can either be on the local system, online at an url, or directly from the Plex Meta Manager Configs repository.
By default, when metadata_path is missing the script will look in your config directory for <MAPPING_NAME>.yml so Movies.yml in the example below.
libraries:
Movies:
To use a local Metadata File add file under metadata set to the system path of the yaml file.
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
file: /config/My Movies.yml
To use all yaml files in a particular folder add folder under metadata set to the system path of the folder containing the yaml files.
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
folder: /config/Movie Configs/
To use a Metadata File online add url under metadata set to the url of the yaml file.
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
url: http://somesite.com/metadata_file.yml
To use a Metadata File from the Plex Meta Manager Configs repository add git under metadata set to the path in the repository.
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
git: meisnate12/Charts
To use a Playlist File from a custom_repo defined in the global Settings add repo under playlist_files set to the path in the repository.
- This loads the yaml file at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zluckytraveler/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/master/zluckytraveler/Collections/Movies/Movies.yml
settings:
custom_repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zluckytraveler/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/master/zluckytraveler/
playlist_files:
repo: Collections/Movies/Movies
You can specify multiple paths of any type using a list like below.
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- file: /config/My Movies.yml
- url: http://somesite.com/people_collections.yml
- git: meisnate12/Charts
- git: meisnate12/Studios
Missing Path
Path where to save the missing YAML File. Default is /config/<<MAPPING_NAME>>_missing.yml where <<MAPPING_NAME>> is the mapping name for the library.
libraries:
Movies:
missing_path: /config/Missing/Movies.yml
