UK Content Rating Collections

The content_rating_uk Default Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the content ratings available in your library.

If you do not use the UK-based rating system within Plex, this file will attempt to match the ratings in your library to the respective rating system.

Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie, Show

Recommendation: Set the Certification Country within your library's advanced settings to "United Kingdom"

Collections Section 110

Collection	Key	Description
`Ratings Collections`	`separator`	Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.
`<<Content Rating>> Movies/Shows` Example: `15 Movies`	`<<Content Rating>>` Example: `15`	Collection of Movies/Shows that have this Content Rating.
`Not Rated Movies/Shows`	`other`	Collection of Movies/Shows that are Unrated, Not Rated or any other uncommon Ratings.

Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

      - pmm: content_rating_uk
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: content_rating_uk

Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

Note that the template_variables: section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

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

This file contains a Separator so all Shared Separator Variables are available as well.
