Kometa Overlay Reset

Kometa Overlay Reset is an open source Python 3 project that has been created to Remove all Overlays placed on a Plex Library.

Installing Kometa Overlay Reset

Generally, Kometa Overlay Reset can be installed in one of two ways:

1. Running on a system as a Python script [we will refer to this as a "local" install]
2. 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 Kometa Overlay Reset but the process is extremely similar to how you would do it with Kometa.

Local Install Overview

Kometa Overlay Reset requires Python 3.11 or later. 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.

1. Clone or download and unzip the repo.

git clone https://github.com/Kometa-Team/Overlay-Reset

2. Move into the script directory.

cd Overlay-Reset

3. Install dependencies (it's recommended to do this in a virtual environment):

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. If the above command fails, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt --ignore-installed

At this point Kometa-Overlay-Reset has been installed, and you can verify installation by running:

python overlay_reset.py

Docker Install Overview

Docker Run:

docker run -v <PATH_TO_CONFIG>:/config:rw kometateam/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\Kometa Overlay Reset\config:/config:rw" kometateam/overlay-reset

Docker Compose:

Example Docker Compose file:

services:
  overlay-reset:
    image: kometateam/overlay-reset
    container_name: overlay-reset
    environment:
      - TZ=TIMEZONE #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/config:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

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 Kometa Overlay Reset build is available on the Dockerhub Website.
