Plex-Meta-Manager VS Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs

Download everything from my repo and from PMM repo

Digging into it more and more I discovered the FlixPatrol option to get the tops from the mainstream providers, and I know for sure this would be much appreciated among my users, as well as myself to be honest. I got very hyped by it, only to discover that due to a recent change of policy from FlixPatrol, support for it is being dropped.

Plex-Meta-Manager: Handles collections and metadata for Plex.

You then want to make a single movie library that uses the /Movies path. That way when movies are "upgraded" you don't have to have that new library download new metadata. Plex natively doesn't have auto collection creation but you can use something like Plex Meta Manager. I'd try to figure it out using their wiki but if you can't or need help they seem to have a discord. Just quickly looking you can make collections by resolution so I assume there is some way to base it on audio type.

Plex Meta Manager (GitHub) for some automated library organization. This one has been a long process. It's a steep learning curve when you're first starting out, but my suggestion is to pick ONE feature and start there. That is, "I want a collection of the IMDb Top 250 Movies" and learn how to implement that, then move on to another feature you want to add. Currently, I have overlays for streaming services, audio quality, and video quality, plus collections for IMDb, award winners, filmmakers, actors, and production companies.

The default playlist config (referred to as PMM: playlist) has the following viewing order playlists pre-configured.

and don't forget loads of people upload theirs to the github if someone needs ideas/help seeing how it's done https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master

Take a look at this template (https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/meisnate12/People.yml); it could be modified to include only those actors you want for your collections. In your config.yml file you'd point to that local People.yml file instead of the - pmm file in the standard config.

Yes. You can even just copy / paste in collections other people created. you would probably want something like this https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/OhMyBahGosh/TV.yml.

People share their configs all the time in the Discord server, and you can find a bunch of them HERE

Here is the repo for the config files https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs

Once you get it working check out some of the configs others have posted to get/steal ideas. Browsing the discord is another great place to get help or ideas and borrow code.

Thanks! I actually been messing around and put some of the config downloads from here: https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs directly in my PMM appdata folder. I had to manually update all the configs and run the script, but it seems to be working.

You might also would want to look through the PMM configs repository for configurations of other users who might have some more or other lists for that purpose.
