Plex Meta Manager Overlay Reset¶
Plex Meta Manager Overlay Reset is an open source Python 3 project that has been created to Remove all Overlays placed on a Plex Library.
Installing PMM Overlay Reset¶
Generally, PMM Overlay Reset can be installed in one of two ways:
Running on a system as a Python script [we will refer to this as a “local” install]
Running as a Docker container
GENERALLY SPEAKING, running as a Docker container is simpler, as you won’t have to be concerned about installing Python, or support libraries, or any possible system conflicts generated by those actions.
For this reason, it’s generally recommended that you install via Docker rather than directly on the host.
If you have some specific reason to avoid Docker, or you prefer running it as a Python script for some particular reason, then this general recommendation is not aimed at you. It’s aimed at someone who doesn’t have an existing compelling reason to choose one over the other.
Install Walkthroughs¶
There are no detailed walkthroughs specifically for PMM Overlay Reset but the process is extremely similar to how you would do it with Plex Meta Manager.
Local Install Overview¶
PMM Overlay Reset is compatible with Python 3.11. Later versions may function but are untested.
These are high-level steps which assume the user has knowledge of python and pip, and the general ability to troubleshoot issues.
Clone or download and unzip the repo.
git clone https://github.com/meisnate12/PMM-Overlay-Reset
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
If the above command fails, run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt --ignore-installed
At this point PMM-Overlay-Reset has been installed, and you can verify installation by running:
python pmm_overlay_reset.py
Docker Install Overview¶
Docker Run:¶
docker run -v <PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw meisnate12/pmm-overlay-reset
The
-v <PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw
flag mounts the location you choose as a persistent volume to store your files.Change
<PATH_TO_CONFIG>
to a folder where your .env and other files are.If your directory has spaces (such as “My Documents”), place quotation marks around your directory pathing as shown here:
-v "<PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw"
Example Docker Run command:
These docs are assuming you have a basic understanding of Docker concepts. One place to get familiar with Docker would be the official tutorial.
docker run -v "X:\Media\PMM Overlay Reset\config:/config:rw" meisnate12/pmm-overlay-reset
Docker Compose:¶
Example Docker Compose file:
version: "2.1"
services:
pmm-overlay-reset:
image: meisnate12/pmm-overlay-reset
container_name: pmm-overlay-reset
environment:
- TZ=TIMEZONE #optional
volumes:

Dockerfile¶
A Dockerfile
is included within the GitHub repository for those who require it, although this is only suggested for those with knowledge of dockerfiles. The official PMM Overlay Reset build is available on the Dockerhub Website.
