                  the nick of time. The Four Nations (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air) have become unbalanced. The Fire
                  Nation wants to rule the world, and its first conquest will be the Northern Water Tribe. It's up to
                  a 12-year-old Airbender named Aang to find a way to stop it. Join Aang, Katara, Sokka, Momo, and
                  Appa as they head north on the adventure of a lifetime.

                  Avatar Aang continues his quest to master the four elements before the end of summer. Together with
                  Katara, Sokka, Momo, and Appa, he journeys across the Earth Kingdom in search of an Earthbending
                  mentor. Along the way, he confronts Princess Azula, treacherous  daughter of Firelord Ozai and
                  sister to Prince Zuko. More powerful than her brother, Azula will stop nothing to defeat the Avatar.
                  But Aang and the gang find plenty of Earth Kingdom allies to help them along the way. From the swamps
                  of the South to the Earth King's palace, Avatar: Book 2 is an adventure like no other.

                  Having survived the terrible battle with Azula, Aang faces new challenges as he and his brave
                  friends secretly enter the Fire Nation. Their quest is to find and defeat Firelord Ozai. Along
                  the way, they discover that Ozai has plans of his own. The leader of the Fire Nation intends to
                  use the massive power of Sozin's comet to spread his dominion permanently across the four nations.
                  Short on time, Aang has a lot of bending to learn and no master to help him learn it. However, his
                  friends are there to help, and he finds unexpected allies deep in the heart of the Fire Nation. In
                  the spectacular four-part conclusion, Aang must fulfill his destiny and become a fully realized
                  Avatar, or watch the world go up in smoke.

Matching Items

The match attribute is used to match movies within Plex to that definition within the Metadata file. One definition can match and edit multiple items. The available matching options are outlined below.

=== "Movies" |

Attribute

| Description | |:-----------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | title¹ | 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_id² | Only matches movies that have the given TMDb or IMDb ID. | | edition³ | Only matches movies that exactly match the movie's Edition.
Can be a list (only one needs to match). | | edition_contains³ | Only matches where the movie's Edition contains the given string.
Can be a list (only one needs to match). | | blank_edition³ | Only matches movies that have no Edition.
Default: false
Values: true or false |

=== "TV Shows" |

Attribute

| Allowed Values | |:-----------------------------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | title¹ | Only matches shows that exactly match the show's Title.
Can be a list (only one needs to match). | | year | Only matches shows that were released in the given year. | | mapping_id² | Only matches shows that have the given TVDb or IMDb ID. |

=== "Music" |

Attribute

When title is not provided and the mapping name was not specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as title 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 as mapping_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.

??? example "Matching Examples (click to expand)" === "Movies" #### Example 1 - title and mapping_id

    The below example shows how `title` and `mapping_id` can be used to match movies.
    
    ```yaml
    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:
    
    ```yaml
    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.
    
    ```yaml
    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
    
    ```yaml
    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:
    
    ```yaml
    metadata:
      movie1:                   # Matches via the title "Star Wars" and checks for no edition version
        match:
          title: Star Wars
          blank_edition: true
        edits...
    ```

=== "TV Shows"
    #### Example 1 - `title` and `mapping_id` 
    
    The below example shows how `title` and `mapping_id` can be used to match shows.
    
    ```yaml
    metadata:
      show1:                   # Matches via the title "Game of Thrones"
        match:
          title: Game of Thrones
        edits...
      show2:                   # Matches via TVDb ID: 366524
        match:
          mapping_id: 366524
        edits...
      show3:                   # Matches via IMDb ID: tt10234724
        match:
          mapping_id: tt10234724
        edits...
      show4:                   # Matches via the title "24" 
        match:
          title: 24
        edits...
    ```
    
    The Mapping Name can also be used to reduce line-count, as shown here:
    
    ```yaml
    metadata:
      Game of Thrones:  # Matches via the Name "Game of Thrones"
        edits...
      366524:           # Matches via TVDb ID: 366524
        edits...
      tt10234724:       # Matches via IMDb ID: tt10234724
        edits...
      "24":             # Matches via the Name "24" 
        edits...
    ```
    
    **Note:** to search for a show 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 show associated with that TVDb ID.
    
    #### Example 2 - `title` and `year`
    
    The below example shows how `title` and `year` can be used to match shows. 
    
    In this example, there are two shows in the library called "Vikings", so the `year` attribute is used to 
    identify which show is being matched.
    
    ```yaml
    metadata:
      Vikings (2012):                   # Matches via the title "Vikings" released in 2012
        match:
          title: Vikings
          year: 2012
        edits...
      Vikings (2013):                   # Matches via the title "Vikings" released in 2013
        match:
          title: Vikings
          year: 2013
        edits...
    ```

=== "Music"
    #### Example 1 - `title`
    
    The below example shows how `title` can be used to match artists.
    
    ```yaml
    metadata:
      artist1:                   # Matches via the title "Ke$ha"
        match:
          title: Ke$ha
        edits...
      artist2:                   # Matches via the title "311" 
        match:
          title: 311
        edits...
    ```
    
    The Mapping Name can also be used to reduce line-count, as shown here:
    
    ```yaml
    metadata:
      Ke$ha:             # Matches via the Name "Ke$ha"
        edits...
      "311":             # Matches via the Name "311" 
        edits...
    ```
