Feature Request - Command-line param to process only a specific collection

[maciejzgadzaj]

I have the script set up in a docker container, and it runs at 3 am as planned.

But testing different collection configurations (specifically external lists) I am also running it manually and checking the results.

Would be great if I could provide an extra command line param to make it reprocess a specific collection only, instead of all of them each time.

And yes, I know I can just leave only the collection config I am testing in my Movies.yml file, but still... just an idea. :)

i think i can come up with something

ok the develop branch has this feature can you test? run test using -rt, --test, --run-test. Add test: true to any metadata or collection object to have them run in test mode. I also turned on Debugging when running test mode so there will be more output.

Pulled, rebuilt, can confirm that it works as described (so far at least) - thank you very much!

Not quite what I've originally imagined, was thinking more of sth like python3 plex_meta_manager.py --run --collection=Comedy,Crime (without having to additionally modify the Movies.yml file for this) - but hey, it's your app after all - as long as it works I'm happy. :)

I choose this way because like you I run multiple docker containers, one to run the schedule and one with the -r option turned on. So I wanted to be able to spin up another that I can run tests from without having to recreate the container each time. this way I can just run the test container

also leaving open untill pushed to master

Not sure exactly how exactly are you using all your containers, but I might have a solution which you might like for this. Coming to you later tonight, if I have time to polish it locally first.

I'm excited to see what you've got!

Also had some fun and came up with the above MR... 🤷

[maciejzgadzaj]

And then again - we're talking *nixes here only. What about Windows? My guess would be it wouldn't work there either, so it's already not 100% generic. Personally I think I'd add it - considering that it's mostly alpine and buster on dockerhub - and see if anyone complains. :D (If it was my repo obviously.)

Did this break the --run command by itself?

python plex_meta_manager.py --run

Returns the following:

But it doesn't actually "do" anything...

No that's a different error if you could post a new issue with your meta.log file?

I figured it out. Since it moved stuff around in my config with the upgraded version over the weekends, I did not have a TV Shows.yml config file created yet and that was causing this error. Issue #55 opened for this.
