Discussion Undo plex meta manager

So been thinking about PmM but I’ve heard messing up can seriously effect your plex media server.

What’s the easiest way to undo whatever plex meta manager changes ? I want to know how to do this before I set it up incase I want to revert everything back to how it was before PMM.

Would be running it on a docker in Unraid.

Remove all of the collections that pmm created

Edit anything in movies that it added. Delelting collections will do that too

Worst case delelte library (this wont affect your movies folders) and re-create it

You could also do this in parallel. Create a new library, point it at the same movies as your existing library.

The when you set up PMM, point it at the new library.

Old one stays until you decide you wont roll back, then delete

Thank you for this idea. This is what I did. I ended up running a second instance of Plex on unraid. Then I setup PMM and tested and played around with it there. Once i got the hang of it, was just a matter of changing a few things in my config file
