This walkthrough is going to be pretty pedantic. I’m assuming you’re reading it because you have no idea how to get a Docker container going, so I’m proceeding from the assumption that you want to be walked through every little detail. You’re going to deliberately cause errors and then fix them as you go through it. This is to help you understand what exactly is going on behind the scenes so that when you see these sorts of problems in the wild you will have some background to understand what’s happening. If I only give you the happy path walkthrough, then when you make a typo later on you’ll have no idea where that typo might be or why it’s breaking things.

This tutorial uses the official image, and you should, too. Don't change `meisnate12/plex-meta-manager` to the `linuxserver.io` image or any other; the lsio image specifically has [idiosyncracies](images.md) that will prevent this walkthrough from working.

IMPORTANT:
|
||||
This walkthrough is assuming you are doing the entire process on the same platform; i.e. you're installing PMM and editing its config files on a single Linux, Windows, or OS X machine. It doesn't account for situations like running PMM on a Linux machine while editing the config files on your Windows box.
|
||||
|
||||
### Prepare a small test library
|
||||
|
||||
While going through this process, Plex-Meta-Manager is going to load the movies in your library, create some collections, and apply some overlays. If you have a large library, this will be very time-consuming.
|
||||
|
||||
For learning and testing, you would be well-advised to create a small test library of a reasonable size, where reasonable it probably below a thousand.
|
||||
|
||||
The author has a small library of 10 movies that is used for fast tests.
|
||||
|
||||
For best results, your test library will contain:
|
||||
|
||||
At least two comedy movies released since 2012.
|
||||
At least two movies from the IMDB top 250.
|
||||
At least two movies from IMDB's Popular list.
|
||||
At least two movies from IMDB's Lowest Rated.
|
||||
A couple different resolutions among the movies.
|
||||
|
||||
That will ensure there's something to go into each of the example collections that will be created.
|
||||
|
||||
### Starting up your terminal.

Before you do this you’ll need:

1. TMDb API key. They’re free.

||||
|
||||
In the sidebar menu on the left, select “API”.
|
||||
|
||||
Click to generate a new API key under "Request an API Key". If there is already one there, copy it and go to the next step.
|
||||
|
||||
There will be a form to fill out; the answers are arbitrary. The URL can be your personal website, or probably even google.com or the like.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you’ve done that there should be an API Key available on this screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Copy that value, you’ll need it for the config file.

#### Getting a Plex URL and Token
|
||||
|
||||
The Plex URL is whatever URL you’d use **from this machine** to connect directly to your Plex server [i.e. NOT app.plex.tv].
|
||||
|
||||
As with the TMDb API Key, if you already have a Plex Token, you can use that one.
|
||||
|
||||
This article will describe how to get a token: [Finding an authentication token](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/)

Scroll down a bit and update the three things you just collected; Plex URL, Plex Token, and TMDb API Key.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||

|
||||

metadata_path:

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will ultimately need an entry here for each of the libraries on which you want PMM to act. Those top-level elements [Movies, TV Shows, Anime, Music] are names of libraries on your Plex server.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, delete the “TV Shows”, “Anime”, and "Music" sections and change the name of the “Movies” section to “Movies-NOSUCHLIBRARY":
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
libraries:
|
||||
Movies-NOSUCHLIBRARY: ## <<< CHANGE THIS LINE
|
||||
metadata_path:
|

- pmm: basic # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
|
||||
- pmm: imdb # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
|
||||
# see the wiki for how to use local files, folders, URLs, or files from git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is intended to cause an error for illustration that you will then fix.

Plex-Meta-Manager provides an extensive collection of "default" metadata files.
|
||||
|
||||
These files provide a simple way for you to create collections based on franchises or awards or actors, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The default config links to two of them:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
- pmm: basic
|
||||
- pmm: imdb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The first will create:
|
||||
|
||||
Newly Released
|
||||
New Episodes
|
||||
|
||||
The second will create:
|
||||
|
||||
IMDb Popular
|

IMDb Lowest Rated

Depending on the size of the library, this may take a while.
|
||||
|
||||
As it builds the collections, you should see a fair amount of logging about which movies are being added and which ones aren’t found. Once it completes, go to Plex, go to your Movies library, and click “Collections” at the top.
|
||||
|
||||
On my test library, this created four collections. You may see fewer depending on what specific movies are in that library.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps you can do everything you want with the defaults. You can investigate what they can provide under the "Defaults" heading at the top.

If the default metadata files do not allow you to create the collections you want, you can define your own collections in your own metadata files to do whatever you like within the capabilities of PMM. We will create a simple collection that will contain 20 comedy movies since 2012.
|
||||
|
||||
First, open the metadata file [this will create the file if it doesn't already exist]:
|
||||
|
||||
````{tab} Linux
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
[type this into your terminal]
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
nano "config/Movies.yml"
|
||||
```
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
````
|
||||
````{tab} OS X:
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
[type this into your terminal]
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
nano "config/Movies.yml"
|
||||
```
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
````
|
||||
````{tab} Windows:
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
notepad "config\Movies.yml"
|
||||
```
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
In this file, add the following, exactly as it is shown here:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
collections:
|
||||
Recent Comedy:
|
||||
plex_search:
|
||||
all:
|
||||
genre: Comedy
|
||||
year.gte: 2012
|
||||
limit: 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Save the file:
|
||||
|
||||
```{include} wt/wt-save.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, add a reference to this file to your config file.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the config file again and add the last line shown below:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
libraries:
|
||||
Main Movies: ## <<< CHANGE THIS LINE
|
||||
metadata_path:

|
||||
# see the wiki for how to use local files, folders, URLs, or files from git
|
||||
- file: config/Movies.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That line needs to match the path you used when you created the file a moment ago.

As it builds the collection, you should see a fair amount of logging about which movies are being added and which ones aren’t found. Once it completes, go to Plex, go to your Movies library, and click “Collections” at the top.
|
||||
|
||||
You should see the new collection:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When you click into each, you’ll see the movies that PMM added to each collection.
|
||||
|
||||
Each time you run the script, new movies that match the collection definitions will be added. For example, if you don’t have “The ShawShank Redemption” now, when you download it and run PMM again it will be added to the IMDB 250 collection.

The default metadata files include a set of overlays you can add to your posters.
|

|

We'll add resolution overlays to the movies in this library as an example.
|

|
||||
Open the config file again and add the last three lines shown below:

|

While it runs this time you should see the previous collections go by pretty quickly, since they aren't changing, and then a lot of logging as PMM decides which overlays apply to which movies.
|
||||
|
||||
This may take quite a while depending on the size of this library.
|
||||
|
||||
Eventually, you'll see it start applying overlays to all your movies:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

### What comes next:
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to remove those overlays, open the config file, change the value of `remove_overlays` to `true`, and rerun PMM.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
overlay_path:
|
||||
- remove_overlays: true
|
||||
- pmm: resolution
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to remove those collections, open the config file, remove or comment out [add `#` to the beginning] any or all of those lines under `metadata_path`, and delete the collections manually from Plex.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
libraries:
|
||||
Main Movies:
|
||||
metadata_path:
|
||||
# - pmm: basic # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
|
||||
# - pmm: imdb # This is a file within the defaults folder in the Repository
|
||||
# see the wiki for how to use local files, folders, URLs, or files from git
|
||||
# - file: config/Movies.yml
|
||||
overlay_path:
|
||||
- remove_overlays: false
|
||||
- pmm: resolution
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Edit `Movies.yml` to reflect the actions you want PMM to perform on *your* libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
TV Shows and other libraries work the same way as you've seen above. Create a section under `Libraries:` in the config.yml, refer to default files or create a metadata file, define collections, run the script.
|
||||
|
||||
Investigate the rest of the wiki to learn about everything Plex-Meta-Manager can do for you.
|
||||
|
||||
### Runtime and Environment Flags
|
||||
|
||||
The command in this walkthrough will run all collections and libraries immediately. If you want to modify that behavior to run just one or some collections, or just one library, or just overlays or the like, review the [Run Commands & Environment Variables](../../environmental.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Collections, Overlays, Playlists, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
These things are all generally defined in metadata files that are referred to in the config file. The starting point for creating these files is [here](../../../metadata/metadata.md).
