![]() ![]() I can see where that might be confusing, and can certainly expand that a bit. It also make updating and other tasks far simpler in the future.ĭownloading a ZIP archive means separate screenshots for all platforms and more complexity and more difficult updates and so on. I chose Powershell in this case because it reduced the number of differences between Windows and the other two platforms, so the number of different forks in the document could be reduced.Īs with Powershell, I chose to retrieve the code via git because the command to do that is the same on all three platforms, which simplifies the differences. It's there because before that document existed, beginners on the discord were just typing commands into all these places interchangeably. The Powershell "warning" is meant to tell the user to just do those things in Powershell, not in any of the other places that they may have available. However, if you type all those commands into Powershell, they will all behave as described in that walkthrough. You will have various levels of success and failure depending on which option you choose. Now, under Windows, you can try to type commands like this into a Command window, a Powershell window, the command line that gets installed with git, the command interpreter that comes with Python, maybe other places. As before, they are not alternatives to each other. The git commands need to be typed into a terminal, and that terminal is Powershell. A command window to type `git clone name-of-repo` into.Īs before, the git install gives you the first, and Powershell is the second.Similarly, to retrieve the code from github, you need: Both are required to accomplish the task. They aren't alternatives to one another, and the inclusion of both is not a contradiction. The first of those is the Python install. ![]() A command window to type `python.exe name-of-script` into.Ultimately, this page is talking about running a Python script. That's the main install page, which is nowhere near as pedantic. It is not targeted at someone who already knows the basics. It is deliberately fairly pedantic intending to go through a known good setup that *will* work if the user does exactly what it describes. On the "pedantic writing style": Those two walkthroughs are specifically meant to target those who came to the discord asking things like "do I have to install Python and how do I do that?", "where do I type these things?", "what thing do I double-click?". I think some others are misunderstandings, and I'd welcome suggestions on how to clear up those misunderstandings. Tl dr: I'm taking some onboard and will try to improve the walkthrough. Over time, this can inflate your app data quite a bit if you have a big library. PMM does NOT delete the old ones in Plex. Especially on recent movies.Ī final sidenote: Every time a rating for a movie changes, PMM will create a new overlay poster. I also recommend sporadically using UpdateTool to update the IMDb ratings of your library, as they can change quite a bit. More info here More info on overlays here The mdblist api key should be included farther down your config.yml. Mass_critic_rating_update: mdb_metacritic Here's the beginning of my config.yml so you can copy the bits: libraries: To use this, you need to have an mdblist API key in your config.yml. You can do this by using the "mass_critic_rating_update: mdb_metacritic" operation. Update your critic ratings to Metacritic scores.you need to run the nightly build (currently on 1.16.5-develop102).If you have PMM set up and want to use this, here are the overlay files and config I made. ![]() You can make these overlays look like whatever you want them to, the screenshot above is just what I cooked up. It's very much worth it if you like curating collections, posters, etc. And to be honest, it is.īut if you take your time to go through the wiki, you'll get the hang of it. If you haven't set up PMM yet, it can seem like a daunting task. Thanks to the latest builds of Plex Meta Manager (PMM), this is now possible! I've been wishing I could have IMDb and Metacritic ratings on my posters for a long time, and I'm sure others would love this feature too.
