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 works with Movie Libraries, but has a Show Library Counterpart.

Collections Section 14

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

Config

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

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: content_rating_us

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 templates_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.
