sync_mode is set to Sync, but the logs show it's using Append

[fmr-iv]

Here is my collections config:

collections:
  Trending Movies - Week:
    trakt_watched: 30
    trakt_recommended: 30
    trakt_trending: 30
    build_collection: false
    item_label: Trending Movies - Week
    sync_mode: sync

And here is a picture of the run (note the "Sync Mode: append" at the top):

Any help would be appreciated!

Can you post your meta.log file

[fmr-iv]

meta.log
collection.log

ok so basically this isnt how this is intended to function.

build_collection doesnt work with sync_mode because well theres no collection to sync with you basically want the labels your adding to sync.

item_label doesnt have anything to do with sync.

what you want is a smart_label collection, its exactly what youre trying to do its just already built into PMM.

collections:
  Trending Movies - Week:
    trakt_watched: 30
    trakt_recommended: 30
    trakt_trending: 30
    sync_mode: sync
    smart_label: random

the sort you give smart label will be how the collection is sorted all sort options are here.

What this does is add a label to all the items that is the same as the mapping name for the collection and then creates a smart collection only looking at those labels.

Thanks for the info! I'll give it a shot
