Plex-Meta-Manager / meisnate12's Repository / Tools
Plex Meta Manager provides you with the following functions:
Creating and updating Plex collections using multiple sources including Trakt, TMDb, TVDb, IMDb, Letterboxd, AniDB, AniList, MyAnimeList, Tautulli, and by filtering your existing Plex library.
Adding media that is in your configured collections but not in your Plex library to Radarr/Sonarr.
Setting custom posters and title cards for your media and collections without requiring the posters to be placed alongside the media itself. As new media is added, Plex Meta Manager can also create folders in the location where accompanying image assets can be placed.
Add custom overlays for your media, including 4K and HDR overlays/banners.
Using YAMLs to edit media metadata such as titles, sort titles, and descriptions.
Adding custom episode orders for Plex via YAMLs.
Head to the Apps tab of Unraid (Community Applications), and search plex-meta-manager in the upper-right search box.
Click the download icon on the plex meta manager container by meisnate12.
Change the Network Type to your custom docker network.
Amend your Docker values using Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device. Example config:
A full list of docker values can be found on the Docker Installation page
If you wish to enable one-time Run, add -r to Post Arguments by enabling Advanced View in the top right of Unraid.
The image below shows the above values in the Unraid WebUI.
Hit Apply, and allow Unraid to download the docker container.
Navigate to the Docker tab in Unraid, and stop the plex-meta-manager container if it has auto-started.
Create config.yml and library.yml files as-per the documentation in the Host Path you set (/mnt/user/appdata/plex-meta-manager in the example)
Once finished, run the container. Voila! Logs are located in yourhostpath/logs.
Stop the Plex Meta Manager docker container if it's currently running.
Follow the instructions for either Trakt or MyAnimeList, and add the relevant values to your config.yml
Edit the Time to Run variable to reflect a time that is NOT the current time. We don't want the script to be running right now. Set Run to false if you've chosen to add that variable. Then, start the container.
Left-click the container in the Docker tab and select to open the terminal for the container. (>_)
Run python plex_meta_manager.py -r, and watch as the script comes to life.
You'll now notice, as per the configuration documentation on these sources, the script will ask you to click a URL and return an input. Go ahead and do so in this terminal window.
Once finished, and the script succeeds in connecting to your source, press Ctrl + C to cancel the script - and close out of the terminal window. Go ahead and stop the docker container, restore your container settings to your original preferences (restore Time to Run), and start the container.
The configuration is done in separate YAML files that reference each other.
You can approach this in two ways:
One config.yml and one library.yml
One config.yml , one TV.yml and one Movies.yml
In our setup, we will be using option 2.
The reason for this is so we can have two completely separate configurations for TV and Movies and how we want the metadata on either to come together.
See the sidebar for the YML templates we've created and will show in our video. It's up to you to make any changes you like adhering to the official documentation.
Once you feel your config is ready you can start/restart the container. Note that at this time you don't see anything in the container logs. Instead, open the terminal for the contain (not Unraid) and paste the following the execute the script:
This will then show you the script running and if there are any issues with the deployment to help you troubleshoot.
Any time you want to execute the script manually
Left-click the container in the Docker tab and select to open the terminal for the container. (>_)
