Default Collections & Overlays
There is a default set of Metadata and Overlay Files located in the PMM Folder in the Plex Meta Manager Configs Repository.
The intention of this directory is to offer easy to use and slightly customizable (using template_variables
) Metadata and Overlay Files for a general user who wants nice collections but doesn't want to learn all of Plex Meta Manager.
All posters defined in the Metadata Files are stored in the Plex Meta Manager Images Repository and all Overlay images are in the Configs Repository at PMM/overlays/images, which allows for changes to be made in one central location that will deploy to all users of this setup when they next run PMM.
Credits to Bullmoose20 and Yozora for helping drive this entire Default Set of Configs through the concept, design and implementation.
Special thanks to Magic815 for the overlay image inspiration and base template.
Configurations
To run a file in git you can simply add it to your metadata_path
(For Metadata Files) or overlay_path
(For Overlay Files) using git
like so:
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- git: PMM/actor
- git: PMM/genre
overlay_path:
- remove_overlays: false
- git: PMM/overlays/imdb_top_250
- git: PMM/overlays/ratings
Overlays
The default set of overlays are a combination of Positional Overlays and Text Overlays.
Example Poster Overlays
Example Episode Overlays
Separators
By default, most metadata files use separators to denote different sections of collection like actor collections vs studio collections.
- Can be turned off by customizing your config
Collection Section Order
Almost every default metadata file has a collection_section
attribute. These attributes determine the order of the various sections and can be set by customizing your config.
Customizing Configs
Configs can be customized using the template_variables
attribute when calling the file. These template_variables
will be given to every template call in the file which allows them to affect how that file runs.
libraries:
TV Shows:
overlay_path:
- git: PMM/overlays/ratings
template_variables:
overlay_level: episode
Each file has a comment block at the top showing the available template_variables
for each file. For example the PMM/genre
has this:
#############################################################
# Dynamic Genre Collections #
# Created by Yozora, Bullmoose20, & Sohjiro #
#############################################################
# Call this from your config.yml (Movie or Show) #
# If nothing is specified these are the defaults #
# #
# metadata_path: #
# - git: PMM/genre #
# template_variables: #
# # Turn the separator collection on/off #
# use_separator: true #
# # Sets how the collection is sorted #
# sort_by: release.desc #
# # Sets the collection mode of the collection #
# collection_mode: #
# # Sets the value at the start of the sort title #
# collection_section: "06" #
#############################################################
Each of these when passed will change how the collection runs slightly.
use_separator
Turn the separator collection on/offsort_by
Sets how the collection is sortedcollection_mode
Sets the collection mode of the collectioncollection_section
Sets the value at the start of the sort title
In addition to the defined template_variables
each file in the PMM Folder has access to the radarr_add_missing
and sonarr_add_missing
template variables and for dynamic collections most attributes can be passed as template variables
For example if you want yearly oscar collections that go back 10 years instead of 5 all of which gets sent to radarr use the data
and radarr_add_missing
template variables.
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- git: PMM/award/oscars
template_variables:
radarr_add_missing: true
data:
starting: current_year-10
ending: current_year
Errors
If there are collections being made that have configuration errors or missing posters please either bring it up in our Discord or raise an Issue on the Configs Repo.
