Unlike the generic and standard media server software, Plex has a twist by being an OTT platform and offering users access to movies, web series, and TV shows. It&#8217;s even supported by most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/vi\/?blog=plex-meta-manager-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seedbox<\/a> providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though most exclusive features are provided access through a paywall, the free features make it an excellent choice for all media needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plex works on the principle of client and server, where the server-side manages libraries and their metadata. On the other hand, the client can access accurate and organized libraries and metadata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a lot of limitations while managing the metadata on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/vi\/blog\/plex-complete-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plex Media Server<\/a>, and the lack of overall customization results in the need for Plex Meta Manager (PMM).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager-1024x531.png\" alt=\"Plex Meta Manager\" class=\"wp-image-28919\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager-1024x531.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager-1536x796.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager-18x9.png 18w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Plex-Meta-Manager.png 1748w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Tuy\u00ean b\u1ed1 mi\u1ec5n tr\u1eeb tr\u00e1ch nhi\u1ec7m: <\/strong>T\u00e0i li\u1ec7u n\u00e0y \u0111\u00e3 \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c ph\u00e1t tri\u1ec3n nghi\u00eam ng\u1eb7t cho m\u1ee5c \u0111\u00edch th\u00f4ng tin.

What is Plex Meta Manager (PMM)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plex.tv\/media-server-downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plex<\/a> does a great job at adding media to the libraries, it does poorly manage the metadata associated with the files. In addition, the probability of providing the perfect metadata for a given media file through plugins is very low, resulting in reduced usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For beginners, Plex Meta Manager (PMM) is an open-source project built on Python 3 and above. With PMM, the user can create and manage the metadata most effectively and efficiently. The user is also provided with support to handle the collections and playlists associated with Plex Media Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The PMM features an advanced Python script built to run consistently and continuously outside the Plex environment. As a result, the metadata is accurately updated whenever a change is required without user intervention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Plex Media Server, installing and using Plex Meta Manager is not easy and requires time and learning. To make things easier, we have gone through all steps associated with the installation. Here is a detailed guide on how to install PMM on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"02\">2. How to install Plex Meta Manager (PMM)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plex Meta Manager can be installed on several platforms, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. Even though PMM is compatible with multiple platforms, a similar installation approach varies according to the operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PMM can be installed on all platforms through Local, Docker, and unRaid approaches. Here&#8217;s a quick summary of each approach to better understand the installation steps listed further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Local Approach<\/strong> <strong>(Hard)<\/strong> &#8211; Requires basic knowledge of Python and installing scripts through the terminal of your preferred platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Docker Approach (Medium) <\/strong>&#8211; Requires knowledge of using terminals, and a basic level of expertise in Docker would make PMM installation easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>unRaid Approach (Extremely Hard) <\/strong>&#8211; unRaid OS is based on Linux and requires knowledge of USB flashing. In addition, knowledge of Docker is a must.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the unRaid Approach is extremely difficult to implement, we have made a detailed installation walkthrough for the Local and Docker approach. Without further ado, let&#8217;s get PMM installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: The platform selected for installation is Windows, and all steps listed for both approaches works only on Windows. Consider this a reference if you can understand and write commands on Linux or macOS.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"03\">3.

Setting up Plex Meta Manager in Docker&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This walkthrough explains the installation of PMM and creating a configuration metadata file in detail through Docker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While comparing the Docker approach with Local Approach, Docker is easier to implement. However, in case of any issue or confusion, we advise starting from the beginning to prevent an unsuccessful PMM setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.1 Install Docker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Python, Docker isn&#8217;t available by default on macOS or Linux. Like Python, it should be installed on Windows on all platforms. Here&#8217;s the command to check if you have a Docker installation on your Windows device through the terminal;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>docker run --rm hello-world<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ins_success.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"699\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ins_success.png\" alt=\"installing Docker\" class=\"wp-image-14980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ins_success.png 699w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ins_success-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ins_success-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t see the message &#8220;Hello from Docker!&#8221;, it is a sign that the Docker installation isn&#8217;t successful.

With Docker, the following commands on the terminal can pull the PMM Docker image successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>docker run --rm meisnate12\/plex-meta-manager --run<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Docker_img.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"708\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Docker_img.png\" alt=\"pulling Plex Meta Manager Docker image.\" class=\"wp-image-14982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Docker_img.png 708w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Docker_img-300x109.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Docker_img-18x7.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If any issue arises upon typing the command, look for internet connection issues or start from step 1 again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.3. Create a new Volume Map.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Volume Map creates custom files for config and metadata outside the container. By creating the Volume map, the PMM can look for information such as metadata and Config files without bothering the containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the commands on how to create a volume map on the terminal;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>mkdir plex-meta-manager<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>mkdir config<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creating_directory.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"484\" height=\"174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creating_directory.png\" alt=\"creating a new volume map\" class=\"wp-image-14983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creating_directory.png 484w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creating_directory-300x108.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Creating_directory-18x6.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will see the message &#8220;A subdirectory or file plex-meta-manager already exists&#8221; because we have created the same directory while on the Local approach. However, if you&#8217;re performing the Docker approach first, it isn&#8217;t a matter of concern, and the error doesn&#8217;t return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new directory is created to eliminate confusion that might occur from future errors. By creating the new directory, the user can create a reference to the Config, which is ideal for Sandboxing purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.4. Creating a new directory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><code>cd Plex-Meta-Manager<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>mkdir config\\assets<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Config-Assets.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"534\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Config-Assets.png\" alt=\"creating a new directory\" class=\"wp-image-14984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Config-Assets.png 534w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Config-Assets-300x80.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Config-Assets-18x5.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you went with the Local approach first, the above commands will return an error as the directories are already there. However, there won&#8217;t be any issues if you&#8217;re using the Docker approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.5. Creating the Config file&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To address the error generated in step 2, which states &#8220;Config Error: config not found at \/\/config,&#8221; you must develop a Config file. You&#8217;ll require the TMDb API key, Plex URL, and Token to create a working Config file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.6. Generating TMDb API key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TMDb stands for &#8220;The Movie Database&#8221; and contains every possible movie&#8217;s minor details. The API key of TMDb plays a crucial role in the config file as it leads to the TMDb server connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how to generate a TMDb API key if you don&#8217;t have access to one;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Firstly, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\">TMDb&#8217;s official website<\/a>, and create a new account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB-.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB--1024x457.png\" alt=\"TMBd homepage\" class=\"wp-image-14969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB--1024x457.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB--300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB--18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB-.png 1343w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u1ea2nh ch\u1ee5p b\u1edfi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TMBD<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>After creating an account at TMDb, log in and look for the account menu present on the top right of the webpage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on settings from the account menu and navigate to &#8220;API&#8221; from the sidebar menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB_1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB_1-1024x419.png\" alt=\"TMBd API key\" class=\"wp-image-14970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB_1-1024x419.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB_1-300x123.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB_1-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TMDB_1.png 1302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TMBD<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>On clicking API, check for the &#8220;Request an API key&#8221; section.

Updating the Config Template<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the config files work, update the TMDb API key, the Plex URL, and the Token in the config.yml. Here is how to update the config file using the terminal;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>cd Plex-Meta-Manager<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>notepad .\\config\\config.yml<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/config_file.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1008\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/config_file.png\" alt=\"Updating the config Template\" class=\"wp-image-14975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/config_file.png 1008w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/config_file-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/config_file-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice that the TMDb API key and Token values are updated with the generated values. However, the Plex URL isn&#8217;t modified, and it is always advised to save the updated config file before running the script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.10. Setting up a Metadata file and Creating Sample collection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a new &#8220;.yml&#8221; named Movies to generate the custom metadata files. In &#8220;Movies.yml,&#8221; let us create a sample collection of Action movies and metadata as 15 action movies since 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>cd Plex-Meta-Manager<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>notepad \"config\\Movies.yml\"<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a sample collection of Action Movies and their metadata in &#8220;Movies.yml,&#8221; type the text below in notepad by opening it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>collections:<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;Recent Action:<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plex_search:<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;all:<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;genre: Action<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;year.gte: 2015<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;limit: 15<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml_1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"628\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml_1.png\" alt=\"Setting up a Metadata file\" class=\"wp-image-14976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml_1.png 628w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml_1-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml_1-18x5.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"206\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml.png\" alt=\"Setting up a Metadata file\" class=\"wp-image-14977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml.png 206w, https:\/\/www.rapidseedbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/movies_yml-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.11. Adding Movies.yml reference to the Config file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the &#8220;Movies.yml&#8221; file is listed with collections and its metadata, it is ready to reference Config. Here is how to use commands on the terminal to make the &#8220;Movies.yml&#8221; as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>cd Plex-Meta-Manager<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>notepad \"config\\config.yml\"<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two commands return by opening the &#8220;config.yml&#8221; file.

Plex Meta Manager &#8211; Local Approach Vs. Docker Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though both approaches have a lot of similarities, the Docker Approach is comparatively more manageable when compared to Local Approach. The Docker Approach is easy to implement because of the Docker software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Docker software, most steps are simplified, and the initiation process is sped up. However, if you know some level of Python and managing commands on the terminal, we suggest you go with the Local Approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Local Approach, there is more control over each step, and you can bring more out of PMM with this approach. To conclude, both approaches are equally reliable. However, choose the best approach depending on your skills and level of understanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b0f2b6\"><strong>Want to optimize your Plex library with Plex Meta Manager?<\/strong><br><br>Improve your media management with RapidSeedbox&#8217;s high-speed seedboxes.
