Do not delete favorites (user-specific)

[Arthagus]

Have You Read The Wiki?:

No

Describe What You Are Trying To Accomplish:

Hello,

I have the configuration for advanced_settings mentioned at the end and want to ensure that only one user is considered when it comes to not deleting favorites. If other users have marked a movie or series as a favorite, this should be ignored.

The WIKI states:

monitored_user

_A monitored user is a user selected during the initial MUMC setup process. Their accessible libraries will be what MUMC uses to find and delete media_items.
user and monitored_user are often used interchangeably.

See Configuration File Examples_

Unfortunately, there is no mention of “monitored_users” in the file examples. Therefore, I am uncertain where to enter this and whether it is sufficient to name a user there so that all others are ignored.

Or do I simply delete all other users in mumc_config.yaml so that the “admin_settings” under “users” only contains the one user that is to be monitored?

However, all the user entries there were automatically inserted by the system. Will they be automatically added again and again when I rerun docker_compose during an update?

I hope you understand my problem and can help me. I would be very grateful.

Best regards
Oliver

Hi @Arthagus

To monitor a single user, change USER_LIBRARY_SELECTION to the desired value. Then bring up a new container. Or run the built in configuration editor by adding UPDATE_CONFIG: true to the advance_settings section of the mumc_config.yaml.

services:
   mumc:
      environment:
         ...
         ...
         ...
         USER_LIBRARY_SELECTION: 3 # or 2 or 1 or 0 (2, 1, and 0 require 'stdin_open: true' and 'tty: true'); optional
         ...
         ...
         ...
      stdin_open: true # docker run -i
      tty: true # docker run -t

A description for each value can be found in the wiki: USER_LIBRARY_SELECTION

[Arthagus]

Hi @terrelsa13,

thank you very much. With these tips, I was able to get it working.

As feedback from a user perspective, I was briefly confused by the fact that you select the users you don't want to monitor in the dialog box. For me, it would have been more logical at that moment to select the users you want to monitor.

Nevertheless, thank you very much!

Best regards

[terrelsa13]

Np.

Help me understand your feedback about selecting users that are not being monitored.

Are you saying when selecting users/libraries; the selected users were not the users added to the mumc_config.yaml?

[Arthagus]

I mean this part:

If I want to monitor user 6, I don't select user 6, but all the others, leaving No. 6.

0 - Name: user0 -
1 - Name: user1 -
2 - Name: user2 -
3 - Name: user3 -
4 - Name: user4 -
5 - Name: user5 -
6 - Name: user6 -
7 - Name: user7 -
8 - Name: user8 -

Select one or more users.
*Use a comma or space to separate multiple selections.
Leave blank when finished: **0 1 2 3 4 5 7 8**

[terrelsa13]

I think I see the confusion.

It sounds like you ran the configuration editor by adding UPDATE_CONFIG: true to your mumc_config.yaml and then dropped into the container using docker exec -it mumc bash.

Your existing mumc_config.yaml already had all of your users added to it. When running the editor, it edits the existing config. In this instance, it shows all of your users as already selected (which they were). When "selecting" every user except user6 in reality you were unselecting every user except user6.

You would have seen the selected users look like this at first:

0 - Name: user0 -
1 - Name: user1 -
2 - Name: user2 -
3 - Name: user3 -
4 - Name: user4 -
5 - Name: user5 -
6 - Name: user6 -
7 - Name: user7 -
8 - Name: user8 -

Then they would have changed to look like this:

0 - Name: user0 - UserId: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
1 - Name: user1 - UserId: 1123456789abcdef1123456789abcdef
2 - Name: user2 - UserId: 2123456789abcdef2123456789abcdef
3 - Name: user3 - UserId: 3123456789abcdef3123456789abcdef
4 - Name: user4 - UserId: 4123456789abcdef4123456789abcdef
5 - Name: user5 - UserId: 5123456789abcdef5123456789abcdef
6 - Name: user6 -
7 - Name: user7 - UserId: 7123456789abcdef7123456789abcdef
8 - Name: user8 - UserId: 8123456789abcdef8123456789abcdef

The USAGE heading of the same wiki link in the previous response shows "how an unselected user will appear" vs "how a selected user will appear".

Let me know if this is not what happened.

[terrelsa13]

If you were to spin up a fresh MUMC container with USER_LIBRARY_SELECTION: 1 it will show all users as unselected.

To help future people avoid having the same confusion, I have updated the Setup Docker ComposeYAML section of the install instructions to make it more obvious the USER_LIBRARY_SELECTION environmental variable affects how users and libraries are selected.

It sounds like you ran the configuration editor by adding UPDATE_CONFIG: true to your mumc_config.yaml and then dropped into the container using docker exec -it mumc bash.

In this instance, it shows all of your users as already selected (which they were). When "selecting" every user except user6 in reality you were unselecting every user except user6.

Yes, I had set update_config: true in my existing settings and then connected to the container with “sudo docker attach mumc” and deselected the users there by entering the following:

Select one or more users.
*Use a comma or space to separate multiple selections.
Leave blank when finished: 0 1 2 3 4 5 7 8

[terrelsa13]

Perfect! Sounds like MUMC behaved the way it was supposed to.

Let me know if you need help with anything else related to MUMC.
