template: {name: Genre, poster: https://theposterdb.com/api/assets/51773}

in my movies config but it dont work any ideas

[meisnate12]

youd have to provide me with some info about how it didn't work maybe a log file

[Sir-Gavin]

ok

[meisnate12]

yes give me the meta.log.1 then

[Sir-Gavin]

which one i have .log then 1-9

[Sir-Gavin]

ok

[meisnate12]

thats just the 10 latest runs of pmm it keeps 10 at a time if your currently running pmm its actively logging to meta.log and that why i wanted meta.log.1 because it should be your most recent run before that one

[Sir-Gavin]

meta.log.zip

genre needs to be in the optional attribute of the Genre template and then it should work

[meisnate12]

templates:
    Genre:
        plex_search:
          genre: <<genre>>
        url_poster: <<poster>>
        sort_title: +++++++_<<collection_name>>
        collection_order: alpha

change the above section and add the optional attribute like below

templates:
    Genre:
        optional:
         - genre
        plex_search:
          genre: <<genre>>
        url_poster: <<poster>>
        sort_title: +++++++_<<collection_name>>
        collection_order: alpha

or you could just remove the plex_seach

templates:
    Genre:
        url_poster: <<poster>>
        sort_title: +++++++_<<collection_name>>
        collection_order: alpha

or you could use a different file

[Sir-Gavin]

ok im just not sure where you mean is that in the movie config

[meisnate12]

yes

[Sir-Gavin]

do i just add
{name: Genre, genre: Martial Arts

[meisnate12]

Martial Arts probably isnt a genre in your plex so that will most likely still fail

[Sir-Gavin]

thats what i dont understand because even looking at the movies in the list on imdb there is no mention of the category martail arts on films
take Project a ( action Comedy )

[meisnate12]

ok see heres the thing that collection isn't made just from imdb lists its also using a plex_search to grab movies from your library and it will fail if it doesn't find the genre given and if you don't give it a genre

[meisnate12]

ok so heres my recommendation use my genre metadata file not his https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/meisnate12/IMDBGenres.yml

[Sir-Gavin]

ok thanks would i have to start over again or can i just replace the parts ie Martial arts with your recommendation

[meisnate12]

I'd probably work with a section at a time and get it right

[Sir-Gavin]

nice one thanks as you can see this is very new to me
