Usage
Configuration
As Kometa is not a GUI application, all configuration must be done by editing the config file. Luckily, Kometa offers great documentation on their wiki. By default, the unofficial installer script will configure the config file with the bare necessities needed for Kometa to work. This includes your Plex server URL, token and TMDb API key. The latter is manually entered by the user during installation.
