you should share your config file obviously redacting personal info like tokens and apis. So us dumb dumbs can use and copy and paste our own information to make this setup easier
Thanks for making this! I had to update my Plex recently due to a but with the version I had with multi episode files and the updated Plex has a notification that my legacy agent will soon be cut off but I dislike the posters that the new Plex uses so I've been looking into PMM/Kometa but was unsure on whether I would still be able to use the Plex GUI to manage posters but with how thorough you were with your examples I found one that fits my situation/wants perfectly thanks!
You mentioned in the video that you used unRaid with the get_all_posters script. I'm trying to figure out how to schedule the script in unRaid to run every night like you suggested, but I'm not sure how to do that since my host system doesn't have python installed (not sure if that was safe to do so). I'm currently able to run the script through a docker container using code-server, is there some other docker container that would work for this situation? Is there some way to make Kometa do it?
Hi, Thanks for this epic video ! Comet seems like the appropriate tool to be able to create my own cartoon playlists (as a series of 1 episode of different shows in a row) for my kids to take the time to appreciate the pace of weekly episodes instead of bing watching the whole series of a specific TV show. Concept : - have control on the TV show order (form Sonarr library) Note : to make things easy, if I want to put 2 episodes of the same TV show, I would suggest to ‘call’ the TV show x2 times (like x2 rows) - chose which TV show will replace a TV show after the last episode of 1 season so the pattern keeps on rolling. Could any body help me bring this concept to life ? Thx a lot :)
Hi! Cool concept! Sounds fun to recreate that weekly thing for your kids. But unfortunately the behavior you're describing is not possible with Kometa. Playlists are usually limited as it comes to Plex. You can create playlists sure, but the automation you are describing which replaces it etc with new random episodes isnt much of a thing. Sorry!
Not sure who to ask about this issue some will ask it here. When I try to run grab-all-posters after setting up the .env file I get an error with the grab-all posters file: /Media-Scripts/Plex/grab-all-posters.py", line 17, in import filetype ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'filetype' Any Help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking to import the MPAA certification stuff into Plex descriptions from IMDb. example: "Rated R for pervasive language, sexual content including nudity, and some drug material". Is this possible with PMM?
I have tried running grab all posters numerous times and it never grabs all of the asset (Probably missing 20%) s no matter how far back I go (Even 50). Do I need to do a plex dance and start from the beginning for it to work? Do I want to run Grab all posters right away or after my collections have been created? I also have the comet config set asset_directory: config/assets asset_folders: true asset_depth: 2 create_asset_folders: true prioritize_assets: false dimensional_asset_rename: false download_url_assets: true show_missing_season_assets: false show_missing_episode_assets: false show_asset_not_needed: true sync_mode: append. Sorry if this to much. I just really like how grab all posters can organize everything and would love to get it working 100% Thanks for all your help and hard work.
Hi again, Jennifer! It happens. Plex DB is shockingly easy to corrupt. Or sometimes the database just has the wrong add date. If 50 did not work for you - attempt 1000!
Just dipping my toes into python scripting, so this may be a noob question. I downloaded the repo, added txt requirements.. Where do you find the .env.example to copy .env so I can edit the file? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Hi Jennifer - excellent question! It used to be a part of the repo but I noticed author seperated it out - here's the template for the config.yml (not .env). PMM doesn't use an .env. If you mean the .env for Plex Image Cleanup - thats right here: metamanager.wiki/en/latest/pmm/scripts/image-cleanup/#tips. For PMM: github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/blob/master/config/config.yml.template
Was shown throughout the video. Either way, I recommend not tying yourself down to 1 person's config setup since it's highly subjective which features you do or don't want. :) Remember, the config file is mostly operations and library files YOU want to run with specific global-level settings under "settings:". Nothing more or less.
Lol. Thanks! Your hearing should concern you way more though since you missed the part where I literally said the "scourge" of all movies and proceeded to diss them. 🤣 Those movies were picked specifically to demonstrate very specific functions of Kometa as you'll later see.
Questions? Leave it in the comments! 🎉

Amazing video! This should be embedded on the PMM wiki home page lol. Also, thanks for taking the time to add timestamps. Keep up the great work!
It's going to be! Thank you! Update: guess it's not for whatever reason (probably dev forgot about it)!
@@TechTails it is now featured on the homepage - thanks so much for all your efforts on this

Install filetype dependency

@@jacobrussell6598 try this "python3 -m pip install filetype"

I feel like i missed the part where you said grab all plex posters was from
ChazLarson's repo, yup you did - but it's a lot of info!
Just dipping my toes into python scripting, so this may be a noob question. I downloaded the repo, added txt requirements.. Where do you find the .env.example to copy .env so I can edit the file? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

how does GAP download to assets? do you run script in same area?
Defined in GAP's .env file you run it to wherever that is. Script run is shown in the video with settings given.
Any chance seeing your config file setup???

Just nice to see examples of where you might have gone right or wrong.. Great Video@@TechTails
Also you have mentioned in other video's about the Plex Cleamup image tool. Where abouts is that..@@TechTails

Good tutorial but your bad taste in movies is concerning

You lost me at hosting on windows
