Resolution Standards Default Metadata File

The 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:

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.

All Shared Variables are available as well as the additional Variables below which can be used to customize the file.

Variable Description & Values
sort_by Description: Controls the sort method for the collections
Values: Any sort method in the Sorts Options Table
include Description: Overrides the default include list
Values: Any Resolution found in your library
exclude Description: Overrides the default exclude list

addons Description: Defines how multiple keys can be combined under a parent key. The parent key doesn't have to already exist in Plex
