# Resolution Standards Default Metadata File

The `- pmm: resolution_standards` Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the resolutions available in your library.

This file takes the base resolutions ("4K" and "720p") and turns them into the commonly-known standards name ("Ultra HD" and "HD Ready")

To avoid duplication, this file should not be used in combination with `- pmm: resolution`

Example Collections Created:

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: resolution_standards
```


## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file from the default settings which are provided. 

Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do NOT want to use the default settings.

Below are the available variables which can be used to customize the file.

The below shows an example config.yml with all of the template_variables set away from their defaults:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: resolution_standards
        template_variables:
          sort_by: title.asc
          collection_section: 16
          collection_mode: show_items
          use_separator: false
          sep_style: stb
```
