Describe the Bug

When running the default seasonal collections, I don't want to see a report of hundreds of Christmas movies that I don't have, however I don't see a way to currently use the 'show_missing: false' variable with these default seasonal collections.

Can the seasonal.yml file be updated to have a show_missing_<>: default value of true, but expose it so that like other variables, we can use a 'show_missing_<>' variable to set it false where preferred?

Show missing isn’t a variable anywhere in any context.

Answer 2 · 2024-12-06T03:48:20.000Z

show_missing is a setting

Answer 3 · 2024-12-06T12:55:22.000Z

Sorry if I got the terminology wrong, setting is what I meant.

I thought from reading https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/config/settings/#show-missing, that the setting/attribute could be controlled on a per-collection basis, where it says:

_show_missing - Used to show missing items from collections or playlists.

While show_missing is true items missing from collections or playlists will be displayed.
Attribute: show_missing

Levels with this Attribute: Global/Library/Collection/Playlist

Accepted Values: true or false
Default Value: true_

Is there any way to set the value for this setting to false on a per-collection basis for default collections, such as the seasonal collections?

Settings are either global or per library, not collection

You can set show_missing at the collection level, but this is not currently exposed for customization in the defaults.

You could open a feature request to add this, but that's no guarantee of course.

You could also make a copy of the seasonal yaml and add support yourself, or create your own collections outside the defaults.

Thanks, makes sense.
I'll open the feature request and see how that goes, and look at those other options you mentioned in the meantime, thanks.
