US Content Rating Collections

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

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

This file has a Movie Library Counterpart.
