recyclarr VS Kometa

Recyclarr (GitHub) to automatically update custom formats per the TRaSH Guides. This took some tweaking to get just right, because it also changed my quality definitions, which I didn't want (YTS releases are fine for most of my users, lol).

(Sidenote - this is so I can utilise Recyclarr to sync profiles and formats from Trash guides - https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr)

There's also Recyclarr to automatically sync from the trash guides

[https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr.

It's also quite automateable: https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr

Capable of using TRaSH-Guides profiles for quality definitions and release profiles, similar to Recyclarr. If the TRaSH-Guides profile is updated, Buildarr will sync those updates to your instances.

I follow the TRaSH Guide, for the most part. I have custom formats set up using Notifiarr, and at this point, either using Notifiarr or Recyclarr custom formats is a necessity for any user. If you don't, your searches with Sonarr and Radarr are going to be all over the place.

I use https://github.com/recyclarr/recyclarr/pkgs/container/recyclarr which loads https://trash-guides.info/.

On point 3, I use Recyclarr to keep my release profiles synced up to Trash's current recommendations.

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.
