Since playlists are not specific to one library they will need their own special Playlist File to work.
You can define Playlist Files by using playlist_files. They can either be on the local system, online at an url, or directly from the Plex Meta Manager Configs repository.
By default, when playlist_files is missing the script will look in your config directory for playlists.yml.
To use a local Playlist File add file under playlist_files set to the system path of the yaml file.
playlist_files:
file: /config/My Movies Playlists.yml
To use all yaml files in a particular folder add folder under playlist_files set to the system path of the folder containing the yaml files.
playlist_files:
folder: /config/Movie Playlists/
To use a Playlist File online add url under playlist_files set to the url of the yaml file.
playlist_files:
url: http://somesite.com/playlist_file.yml
To use a Playlist File from the Plex Meta Manager Configs repository add git under playlist_files set to the path in the repository.
playlist_files:
git: meisnate12/Playlists
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
