Streaming Default Metadata File

The - pmm: streaming Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the streaming Services that your media is available on.

Example Collections Created:

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: streaming

Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file from the default settings which are provided.

Note that the templates_variables: section only needs to be used if you do NOT want to use the default settings.

As this file is more complex than others, a key system is used to control each collection that is created by the file. Each key refers to one streaming service and is used to control multiple template variables.

Below are the keys and what they refer to:

Key	streaming Service
all4	All 4
amazon	Prime Video
appletv	Apple TV+
bet	BET+
britbox	BritBox
disney	Disney+
hayu	hayu
hbomax	HBO Max
hulu	Hulu
netflix	Netflix
now	NOW
paramount	Paramount+
peacock	Peacock

Below are the available variables which can be used to customize the file. Note that any use of key within the variable should be replaced with the key from the above table (i.e. use_all4 instead of use_key, order_disney instead of order_key)

Variable	Usage	Default Value	Values
use_key	Turn the collection on/off	true	true or false
order_key	Determine collection order in its section	Alphabetical Order	Any number (i.e. 01 for order_disney to put Disney+ first in the list of streaming services)
collection_order_key	Determines collection order of the collection
visible_library_key	Set visible_library for the collection	false	true or false
visible_home_key	Set visible_home for the collection	false	true or false
visible_shared_key	Set visible_shared for the collection	false	true or false
sonarr_add_missing_key	Adds missing from the collection to sonarr	false	true or false
sonarr_folder_key	Sonarr Folder to add to		Folder to add missing items to
sonarr_tag_key	Sonarr Tag for added missing		Tag(s) to add to missing items
item_sonarr_tag_key	Sonarr Tag for existing items	false	Tag(s) to add to existing items
radarr_add_missing_key	Adds missing from the collection to radarr		true or false
radarr_folder_key	Radarr Folder to add to		Folder to add missing items to
radarr_tag_key	Radarr Tag for added missing		Tag(s) to add to missing items
item_radarr_tag_key	Radarr Tag for existing items		Tag(s) to add to existing items
sort_by	Controls the sort method for the collections	release.desc	Any sort method in the Sorts Options Table
collection_section	Controls the sort order of these collections against other default collections	10	Any number
collection_mode	Controls the collection mode of these collections	default	default - Library default hide - Hide Collection hide_items- Hide Items in this Collection show_items - Show this Collection and its Items
use_separator	Controls whether a separator is created	true	true or false
sep_style	Sets the theme of the separator	orig	orig, blue, gray, green, purple, red, stb

The below shows an example config.yml with all the template_variables set away from their defaults:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: streaming
        template_variables:
          use_all4: false
          order_britbox: 01
          visible_library_disney: true
          visible_home_disney: true
          visible_shared_disney: true
          sonarr_add_missing_hulu: true
          sonarr_folder_hulu: /mnt/local/Media/TV/
          sonarr_tag_hulu: Hulu Shows
          item_sonarr_tag_hulu: Hulu Shows
          radarr_add_missing_amazon: true
          sonarr_folder_amazon: /mnt/local/Media/TV/Prime Video Shows/
          sonarr_tag_amazon: Prime Video Shows
          item_sonarr_tag_amazon: Prime Video Shows
          sort_by: random
          collection_section: 1
          collection_mode: show_items
          use_separator: false
          sep_style: stb

Dynamic Collections attributes can also be edited to tweak the setup of the collections. The YAML file which creates the streaming collections can be found here

An example of this is; to only run the Disney+ collection against the movie library, the following template variable can be used:

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: streaming
        template_variables:
          use:
            disney: movie
