Automations

MediUX Auto-Sync

When you apply a MediUX set to a collection or show, MetaMagic remembers it. Turn this on and it keeps those items in sync automatically — new franchise movies get added to the collection and re-styled, and new seasons get their MediUX artwork — no YAML, no rules to build.

Auto-sync is off — your remembered sets won't change on their own.

Nothing here yet. Open a collection or show, hit Change poster → the MediUX YAML tab, and apply a set — it'll appear here, ready to keep in sync.

Auto-create franchise collections

As new movies arrive, automatically create a Plex collection for any TMDb franchise you own films from — no need to know in advance. Refine and re-poster them later on the Collections page.

Auto-add new movies to existing collections

When a movie that belongs to a collection you already have shows up in Plex, add it automatically. Exclude any collections you curate by hand.

Studio collections

Keep a collection of everything you own from a studio — e.g. DreamWorks, A24, Pixar. MetaMagic adds new arrivals from each studio automatically.

Actor collections

Keep a collection of the movies you own where an actor plays a main character — e.g. Ryan Gosling, Tom Hanks. Cameos and bit parts are left out, new arrivals are added automatically, and new collections get the actor’s portrait as their poster.
