TMDb Writer¶

People Collections

As Plex does not allow People to be part of Collections, Kometa will instead add any media that the person is associated with based om the Builder criteria.

You can not have a Collection of "Top 10 Actors" for example, as Plex does not allow this.

Finds every item in the TMDb Person's Writer Credits.

You can replace tmdb_writer with tmdb_writer_details if you would like to fetch and use the TMDb collection's summary, poster, and background from the list
You can specify multiple people in tmdb_writer_details but it will only use the first one to update the collection details

YAML Lists Explained

YAML supports different ways to define lists. Below are some common methods:

1. List Within a Mapping

fruits:
  - apple
  - banana
  - cherry

2. Inline Style

fruits: [ apple, banana, cherry ]

Each style can be used depending on your needs. The block style is typically more readable for longer lists, while the inline style is compact and useful for short lists.

YAML Dictionaries Explained

Dictionaries are used to associate key/value pairs that are unordered. Dictionaries can be nested by increasing the indentation, or new dictionaries can be created at the same level by resolving the previous one.

cache: true
cache_expiration: 60

The "keys" are cache and cache_expiration and the "values" are true and 60 respectively.

These filters only work if the URL is to the List View of the Letterboxd list (i.e. it should have /detail/ in the URL) or to an account's Reviews (i.e. it should have /USERNAME/films/reviews/ in the URL).

This filter only works if the URL is to the List View of the Letterboxd list (i.e. it should have /detail/ in the URL).

When title is not provided and the mapping name was not specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as title for matching.

When mapping_id is not provided and the mapping name was specified as an ID, the default behaviour is to use the mapping name as mapping_id for matching.

When the server does not have a Plex Pass then the Edition Field is not accessible. In this scenario, Kometa will check the movie's filepath for {edition-...} to determine what the edition is.

Each default has a key that when calling to effect a specific collection/overlay you must replace <<key>> with when calling.

You can use current_year to have Kometa use the current year's value. This can be combined with a -# at the end to subtract that number of years. i.e. current_year-2
