Definition Component Overview

There are a few different types of attributes that can be used in any given Collection/Overlay/Playlist File.

Builders

Builders are attributes placed at the top level of the definition that tell Kometa what items belong in a collection/overlay/playlist. Multiple builders can be used in one definition. These could come from a variety of sources including but not limited to:

  • Your own Plex Sever using the Advance Filters.
  • A Tautulli instance with your most played items.
  • A List of media online on a site like IMDb, TMDb, or TVDb.

???+ example "Builder Example"

```yaml
collections:
  My Test Collection 1:
    plex_search:
      any:
        genre: Action
  My Test Collection 2:
    imdb_chart: top_movies
  My Test Collection 3:
    imdb_search:
      type: movie
      limit: 100
      genre: action
      votes.gte: 1000
    plex_search:
      any:
        genre: Action
```

Filters

Filters are all put under a single attribute filters. These attributes will filter out items only after builders find them. Filters alone do nothing, they need builders.

There are some specific filters that can filter missing items sent to Radarr/Sonarr and if needed you can use the only_filter_missing setting to have the filter only effect the missing items.

Running filters are often slower than builders so whenever possible use only builders to build the definition.

???+ example "Filter Example"

This uses the `plex_all` Buidler to get every item currently in the plex library and then checks TMDb if they have 
either `aftercreditsstinger` or `duringcreditsstinger` as a keyword.

```yaml
collections:
  My Test Collection 1:
    plex_all: true
    filters:
      tmdb_keyword: aftercreditsstinger, duringcreditsstinger
```

Settings

Settings are attributes placed at the top level of the definition that tells Kometa how to run the definition. Each setting will affect how the definition is run or shown in the log.

???+ example "Setting Example"

This sets the colleciton to only build if the builders find at **minimum 10 items** and will sync items to the 
collection (removing items that no longer are found by the builders).

```yaml
collections:
  My Test Collection 1:
    sync_mode: sync
    minimum_items: 10
    plex_search:
      any:
        genre: Action
```

Radarr/Sonarr Settings

Radarr/Sonarr Settings are attributes placed at the top level of the definition that tells Kometa how Radarr/Sonarr is handled in this specific definition.

???+ example "Setting Example"

This sets the colleciton to add missing movies from the builders to Radarr.

```yaml
collections:
  My Test Collection 1:
    radarr_add_missing: true
    imdb_search:
      type: movie
      limit: 100
      genre: action
      votes.gte: 1000
```

Collection/Playlist Metadata Updates

Updates are attributes placed at the top level of the definition that tells Kometa Metadata Changes for the Collection/Playlist.

???+ example "Collection/Playlist Metadata Update Example"

```yaml
collections:
  My Test Collection 1:
    summary: This is my test collection's summary
    plex_search:
      any:
        genre: Action
```

Item Metadata Updates

Item Updates are attributes placed at the top level of the definition that tells Kometa Metadata Changes for every item found in the Collection/Playlist.

???+ example "Item Metadata Update Example"

This will add the genre `Credits` to every item found after builders and filters are run.

```yaml
collections:
  My Test Collection 1:
    item_genre: Credits
    plex_all: true
    filters:
      tmdb_keyword: aftercreditsstinger, duringcreditsstinger
```
