Custom Libraries

MediaManager supports custom libraries, allowing you to add multiple folders for your movies and TV series. This feature is useful if you organize your media into different directories. For example, you might have separate folders for "Action" movies and "Comedy" movies, or "Live Action" TV shows and "Animated" TV shows.

Configuration

Custom libraries are configured in the mis section in the config.toml file. You can add as many libraries as you need.

Movie Libraries

To add custom movie libraries, you need to add a [[misc.movie_libraries]] section for each library. Each library requires a name and a path.

Here is an example of how to configure two movie libraries:

[misc]
# ... other misc settings

[[misc.movie_libraries]]
name = "Action"
path = "/data/movies/action"

[[misc.movie_libraries]]
name = "Comedy"
path = "/data/movies/comedy"

In this example, MediaManager will scan both /data/movies/action and /data/movies/comedy for movies.

TV Show Libraries

Similarly, to add custom TV show libraries, you need to add a [[misc.tv_libraries]] section for each library. Each library requires a name and a path.

Here is an example of how to configure two TV show libraries:

[misc]
# ... other misc settings

[[misc.tv_libraries]]
name = "Live Action"
path = "/data/tv/live-action"

[[misc.tv_libraries]]
name = "Animation"
path = "/data/tv/animation"
