Error when adding actor’s shows - Plex Error: Collection ActorName not found
See original GitHub issueI remembered what the last issue I was having was! Right now I’m trying to add collections to my TV Shows library based on Actor. I tried using one of the example user templates but it tells me that tmdb_person only works on movies.
As such I switched over to using tmdb_actor:
collections:
###########################
# People Collections #
###########################
Zach Braff:
tmdb_actor: 5367
tmdb_actor_details: 5367
I picked Zach Braff as I know I have a show of his, Alex, Inc.
TVDB (328635 ): https://thetvdb.com/series/alex-inc
TMDB (71763 ): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/71763-alex-inc?language=en-US
Zach Braff (5367 ): https://www.themoviedb.org/person/5367-zach-braff?language=en-US
When I run the script I see it try to map the TMDB IDs over to TVDB IDs, not find any shows, then give me this error:
Plex Error: Collection Zach Braff not found
Looking through the log I’m seeing 71763 in the TVDb IDs Found array, but it’s actually a TMDB ID. I’m thinking that’s where the problem is, it’s not translating to a TVDB ID, and thus it’s trying to pull from TVDB using a TMDB ID. I could be wrong on that though.
I’m also not sure why it’s showing an error about not finding the collection, but I’m guessing it’s a more generic error that happens when something goes wrong?

I was just about to comment saying you missed one on line 117! Pulling the new image now 😃
I’ve added the collection builders:
trakt_list_details,tvdb_list_details,tvdb_show_details, andtvdb_movie_details. I’ve added the collection details:trakt_description,tvdb_summary,tvdb_description,tvdb_poster, andtvdb_background.
